Here's day 20 for Is' prompt of "wheatfield"! I drew this last night when I didn't really have that much left in the way of eyes, so it's just a little blurry. But hey, colourful!
Today, I've mainly been watching and rewatching and analysing the new intro for Critical Role. If you've been...
Today's pic is Jester's hands holding a blueberry cupcake, for Deidre's prompt of "sweets"!
For those who haven’t watched (Campaign 2 of) Critical Role, this moment is iconic to the campaign and pretty much Critical Role at large. The Mighty Nein are in the hut of the fearsome hag Isharna...

Corine gave us "horse", so here’s a rather quick Asfaloth (I'd allotted two hours at school for this today, but then I had to jump in for a colleague and one of the two was gone). Quick digital watercolour. =)

Here's today's image, for Matěj's prompt "smith"! I did briefly think of Matt Smith, but Fëanor (very dignifiedly) bumped up and down to be done in an ink style. I love that style SO much, and it's suited so well to black hair and fire! I will definitely do more of it.
Done with the "fuzzy ...
I always wanted to do very soft sketches, like Alan Lee or John Howe, and I found time and time again that I have too much of a bold stroke. Now I can just sketch boldly and then take back the boldness. 😁
Blade's prompt of "Namarië" resulted in, fittingly, Amarië, Finrod's beloved. It ...

First off, thank you all so much for all your words of support and courage yesterday; that really built me up again.
For a warning shot, it seems Friday's eye episode could have been worse. It doesn't bother me much (apart from the occasional cat at my right heel), and it made it clear I ...
Juliette's prompt of "party tree" was overshadowed by a new eye episode, so I guess they're not over yet. 😖
The new blind spot is pretty large but, thankfully, not central, but bottom right of my right eye. I will probably be running over cats a lot. Even more than normal, that is. ...

Paul's suggestion of "Avari" prompted Eöl, most prominent of the Avari! I went with a properly inked piece, a look which I’ve always liked but don't do as often as I should. (With the fineliner brushes from my last brush set).
You may remember the general image idea from my painting of...
Elizabeth gave us the prompt "sailing", and Fjord kicks off the second sheet of Patreontober. One of the things Critical Role (and Travis Willingham) achieved: it made half-orcs sexy. 😂
Had a bit of a bad coupled days and thought I'd fall a lot more behind, but I just might make it to "A...

Zane gave me the prompt "sea-longing" and of course my mind went to Legolas!
First page filled! This is still such a fun exercise, I'm so glad we're doing this!

I just added ten new prints, as well as a large deluxe version of Caleb in the library! Etsy still has an ongoing sale for today, so now's the time! =D

Hannah's prompt of "glimmer" made me think of the light of Valinor in the eyes of the Noldor, so here's a little Fingon looking into your soul!
Done with my coloured pencil brushes in Procreate this time.

Brit's prompt for today prompted - Fearne, of course! There was a lovely interview with Ashley, her player, a while back, where she said what she loved most about her character was that Fearne has a little tail, and every time she gets ready to do something delightfully disastrous, she imagines h...

We spent the entire day at Essen Games Fair (SPIEL) yesterday, and though I‘d already finished this on Saturday night, I didn’t find any time to post it. For Dorte's prompt "heartbreak", the first thing that came to mind was the man responsible for serving up the largest amounts of delicious ...

First difficult decision: Watership Down or Agnes? I felt more like Agnes today, so here she is for Isabella's prompt "bunny"!
Done with a ballpoint-pen I'm developing in Procreate. I love the look and feel of ballpoint pen, all the more so when it doesn’t fade - or smudge when you erase!...

Here's today’s prompt, from Michelle C! Trinket, Vex' animal companion extraordinaire, after being yarnbombed by Vax and Keyleth. (Trinket was a lot more okay with it than Vex.) 😂

Here's Liv's suggestion!

Here we are with KN‘s suggestion: "Parting". Absolutely had to kick this off with Orym saying farewell to his mom, leaving Zephrah a few months after the loss of his husband and father in law.

Has anyone ever missed a con by accident? I nearly did.
For years, MagicCon Bonn was the same weekend and the Games Con in Essen, so I very obviously looked up the latter and simply assumed MagicCon would be the same weekend (i. e., next weekend). I had planned to do new signs for my ...

This took ages, and in between, I thought I’d abandoned it. It’s weird how much this wip scared me. I never had that with traditional watercolours. There seems to be something liberating about NOT having an undo button, for some reason.
But I’m so, so happy with how this turned out, a...

Here's the Etsy link to my brand-new pencil set! It started out as a sort of waste product of just a handful of brushes that didn't really fit into the first set, and now I'm obsessed with it, hee. I was going to paint the Molly one in watercolours, but I think this one suits him far better! ...

A warm welcome to new Patron, Elizabeth! =D
Orym has a lot on common with my characters - he can be at two hitpoints (out of close to 100) and Not. Back. Up. (I always think, the other guy is just as low as me, all I need is one hit...)
So it takes a friendly Earth ...

Last episode will be remembered for an inch-long little dolabo (lizard fairy) whom FCG dubbed "Me", who helpfully offered his people's secret to evading a terrifying serpent-creature: rubbing themselves in teal-coloured dolabo poo.
