#art development

I was painting some LOTR fanart of Éowyn and the Witch-King of Angmar for fun when my brain drifted off and my pen slipped... Yes, that's a little Mouth of Sauron being shushed by Sauron on the steps over there, and yes, the Witch-King is chilling with Théoden and Denethor now. Additional notes and the different versions of Gríma's hair that I was considering under the cut!

The amount of progress I’ve made in the past two years is insane

All in the span of two years btw 🥹

my first ever post (which, for me, was really really good):

We only have 13 days left to hit our fundraising goal, so we're pulling out all the stops. It's my pleasure to introduce the "Stupid Cupid, You're a Real Mean Gal" official digital art book! Project creator @makkinsart has been working on developing this concept for 5 (!) whole years, and for the first time ever, we've compiled all his sketches, designs, doodles, and explorations together into a single PDF. It's the perfect read for any artist, animator, or cartoon enthusiast who's curious about the process of how a drawing becomes a film. Go to the "Rewards" section at the link below to snag your copy!

A couple sneak-peeks of pieces from the book, so you can get an idea of just how cool it really is:
