Where's My Tablet?

“Be Nice” 

“Respect pronouns”

“Be helpful to newbies”

“Don’t be a creep!”

“No racism, ableism, sexism, transphobia... etc”

For some reason I had a period when I liked having coloured backgrounds, slap some white lineart onto it, and then put the colour on top of the lineart. It was... interesting, but really hard to recreate xD 

About the picture: once upon a jolly, more innocent time @oneamongathousand and I put our lovely boys Michael “Mischa” Sauvoun and Tolouse “Tolou” Corday in a sort of “The Little Mermaid” inspired story, letting Mischa be the lovely merman, and Tolou the human who has no clue that merfolk even exist. (They were adorable, like always <3 ).

I want to get better at painting and drawing backgrounds and environments, so naturally I need to actually DRAW and PRACTISE at backgrounds and environments. Plus I wanted to work more with watercolours <3 

Sometimes we need a little owl in our lives. Me, I needed to practise drawing them, and return to watercolours. It felt like an interesting return, so a night owl it was!

The redraw project moves on! This is the March picture, featuring Atzirah Edo, my asshole vampire. In the version the picture’s from he’s a Toreador Elder, about to force another vampire to a furthered blood bond.

In any version he’s with, he’s basically an asshole.

Next one in the 2008-2018 remake series! This is Irryn Ryhad, a noble boy from a fantasy land who had to take his twin sister’s place in an arranged marriage with a Southern Prince because his sister eloped with her lover just before the marriage. Irryn was not impressed, but he did well! It was less successful that he fell in love with what was technically his sister’s husband, but such things happen, I suppose? x’D

The story is a roleplay between me and @enlitenvarulv where I play Irryn and his sister, while she plays the husband (and several others, for the both of us).

I found my old art summary from 2008, and considering that I’ve been curious to see how much I’ve improved over the years, I decided to do a 10yr remake project :) This is January’s drawing: 2008 to the left, 2018 to the right ^^

Zayed (the blue dude) belongs to me, and Laurion (the blond) belongs to @lienwyn . This particular illustration comes from a roleplay where Zayed found Laurion as a young child and decided to raise him. As a supposedly heartless, brutal demon general, no one is more surprised at how good Zayed am with children than Zayed himself ;D

A semi-commission I made for a person who asked people to send birthday cards for her daughter’s birthday :)  When inquiring what she (the daughter) liked, I was referred to this character from the movie Trolls. I haven’t seen the movie (yet) but I do like the character design ^^

For about 2 years, I’ve had the immense pleasure of larping Jewel, a mask-loving Nosferatu, in DRC’s vampire LARP based off of Vampire the Masquerade. However, as things go, all stories have to end, and Jewel left the LARP just before Christmas. As thank you to the other (at the time active) Nosferatu players, that had given me so much, and made my time as Jewel a real blast, I made these farewell chibi cards. They were eventually printed and framed, given to each player.

From the top!

Synth3tic and Jewel Synth3tic was the last Nosferatu to join us before I left, and I had so much fun playing with him. A hacker vs my 1930′s Nosferatu (that’s still trying to figure out what an email is) made for lovely scenes. The player made me smile so much that my cheeks hurt more often than not xD 

Håkan and Jewel Håkan is an adorable, old vampire with a love of books, and had adorably good values (Emphasis on “had”: Jewel and Djinn (bottom pic) fixed that >;3 ) and well, Jewel respected him. Mostly. The player was amazing and I had. So. Much. Fun!

I have a thing with @lienwyn where we give each other a character to sketch, to keep us both active and practicing! This time, she gave me my ever so lovely Sophie Thane, sometimes Cardington, to sketch, which made me rather happy ^^ I really like Sophie and I think she deserves more love.

I got to do another collaboration with a friend, Eliza, featuring her character Liz Morrow. Liz is a brujah (vampire the masquerade clan) and at one point in her life, she loses that which is the most important to her. Very emotional and heartbreaking.

When Eliza described this scene to me, and showed me the song she had in her head as theme to this moment (”Wrong Side of Heaven”, by Five Finger Death Punch), I was instantly inspired and made the sketch to the comic above. Eliza graciously allowed me to take it further, helped me along the way with details and cheers (thanks, hun <3) and eventually, this was the finished product.
