#phier

First week of #PleinAirpril over! I'm trying to figure out how to cut back on the time these take without rushing it. Very tricky.

my part of the art trade with @phier ! it's their Grey Warden, Laie Mahariel! i had fun painting her, especially the eyes and armor, she's lovely 'v'

The idea for this piece has been simmering in the back of my head and in some sketchbooks for YEARS, so I finally bit the bullet and actually painted it. It's also influenced by Paramore's song Misguided Ghosts, which has always been one of the main songs I associate with Mahariel. It fits the Dalish Warden Origin so well. 💙

Autumn Forest Studies based on nalina24's photography.

sketch i had a lot of fun with at first and then gave up on because i had no idea how to Finish It without losing what i liked about it in the first place. some things are meant to stay unpolished, i guess. that's their inherent charm.

PleinAirpril Week 2! As you can see, I had to start simplifying and give myself a break after the second one because my wrist's starting to hurt again. Rectangle Brush all the way!
