Trying out new tech.

The earth is spinning off the last tarry plaque of 2021, hopefully dissipating it into the embrace of space to never be remembered again.  My end of the year will be spent hiding under a blanket with an ice-cream bucket on my head with the word "WAR DOME" written across it in glitter-pen. 2021-12-27 23:08:17 +0000 UTC View Post

Ch'Wayah's Yeendles - 300dpi

Like Yeendles, but with 60fps

-T.J.

Ch'wayah's Yeendles -Colour

The last 'painting' of the year.  And it's been a hell of a year for.. basically everyone.

I went a little more illustrative with this one.  It was supposed to be an 'early fall' picture though as autumn became nearly 6 weeks of hospital visits and a month of various specialist/do...

Lost Art - Little Fires Cover

I've been making an effort to go through old art folders.  I've wanted to start organizing things a little better, but I also have a lot of art and characters that have been largely consigned to the bit-rot folder inside my skull, often forever lost to the void that is the failed neurologica...

Last of the Falling Leaves - Patron illustration.

Amidst the sheer chaos that October threw my way I was given the chance to draw a character with possibly one of the best names for a goat.  Popcorn, walking over the bridge out of town to watch nature rain it's last leaves of the season.

A calm picture for hopefully calmer days ahead....

Yeendles - Inkwash 300dpi

The littered with pixels version.

Yeendles - Inkwash

I've been poking away at this picture's colours for a while now, and managed to get the inkwash done this morning over coffee.  

The signs are all still temporary, and not everything was detailed out yet, but I've got the basic colours down.

I've got such a massive backlog of thi...

Light Reading

A little bit of light reading of magic means in the morning before heading out into the snow-dusted trail to open the Neigh Nook.

I've really missed drawing this little mare.

Mister Chatterly's Circus of Noises.

I had chance to find some old writing I did back when I ran ttrpg games and found some of it to be kind of amusing to read over, some of it to be utterly confusing, and some of it to at least toss a slight sense of worldbuilding that I had forgotten about.

I've pretty much sworn off of doin...

The Lost Skelly Squeep.

I was going through a reference folder that was mostly trees and fences for a Patron sketch I'm doing and had a folder that wasn't named in there.  Just 'new folder'.  I figured I must have made a sub-folder  for something else and either just forgot to label it or never used it. 2021-11-02 22:56:49 +0000 UTC View Post

Smoove Talker

"Heyyyyyy there pretty gnomeadoodleedoo.."

"Been into Raudhan's jar of drinkable weapon cleaner?"

"...Only a lil' bit.."

"It only takes a 'little bit' to knock a horse on his ass."

"Speakin o' that.. You ever been horsed gnomeygnome of mine?"

"Sweetie, we've been par...

Warmup sketches

I've been doing all sorts of warm-up sketches over the last week and a bit.  These are always unstructured, and loose, and often just random things to keep the pen moving.

I had to include Hyrahyttia the Kobold, a character I had forgotten about, and who just had to have a sketch of he...

October Races the Sky.

Its a bit hard to believe October is nearly over now.  This year the fall has been a bit of a blur for the same reasons its been fairly stressful.

Today marks a month since my father had to head to the hospital.   He's out now, and is doing far better than he was even just a ...

Haunty Tea (300dpi)

More haunty dots.

-T.J.

Haunty Tea.

I'm sorry posts have been a bit slow for the first part of the month.  We're still in this transition period regarding my father's health.  There's just this string of complications going on with him, and he's still in the hospital as entire teams (plural) try to assess how he's doing, ...

Rain Interstate

What was the old saying?  "When it rains, container ships filled with thumbtacks and dynamite will fall on your house."

..Or it might have been something about 'pouring'.  

However its been a fairly chaotic four days.  I had to push back work again after my father had a...

Ch'Wayah's Yeendles (300dpi)

Inks, but with an absurd amount of pixels.

-T.J.

Ch'Wayah's Yeendles. (inks)

Inks for the 'Yeendles' image from earlier.  I'm hoping to get this one coloured for this month.

Road's End Home (roughs)

A really rough sketch of an idea I had of the 'trio' (gnome, lorrnath and khettu) arriving back at their home-town.  

I like the idea that the three have homes in or near a township.  I personally started to get a bit bored of the 'wandering explorers who have no home, and live ou...

Surprise Frand (Patron Illustration)

I was incredibly late finishing this illustration for July's list-patron due to the wild-hospital-ride (tm) at the end of that month and beginning of August.  However they were supremely understanding, and very gracious in giving me the time to finish this image properly.

I was given a...

A quiet and gentle flailing.

Each day, more little yellow leafs are on the ground.

The resounding 'eee' in my head is as palpable as is the nearly vibrating excitement of a small, pumpkin-attuned and draconic-horned lorrnath.

I've been in a bit of a 'block' for the greater part of about 4 or more months now. &nbs...

Neigh Day Out (rough sketch)

Featuring Cinders, Berrand, Sherdaylyn, Anders and Ahani.  Probably prepping for an apple pick.

This Is My SEXY Caliper

I was given the distinct pleasure of doing some artwork for Mr. Steve G (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/mrsteveg) and had the image hovering around the 'finished but needs some tweaking' mark for about 3 weeks, a...

Ch'waya's Yeendles - Sketch

Please buy her candles.

She calls them 'Yeendles'

She sells a thing called YEENDLES.

For the love of all that is good..

Please buy her Yeendles.

Deep Breaths.

This week, my father has a chance to be released from hospital.  While they found a multitude of problems going on with him, he's doing much better, is far more alert, they still found a 'leak' he's got inside his stomach that's not staunched yet, but the hope is that they can do another 'cl...

Round and Round.

Hoo boy.

I'm really not loving the fact that I have to write another 'Bad News Bears' post after finally getting some creative juice going again this month.

The short of it:  I'm going to be late starting the next patron sketch this month.

On Saturday morning I came down st...

Tired (300dpi)

The dottier and higher resolution version.

-T.J.

Tired (final)

I wanted to go with a more illustrative style for this one.  Something with lines left in that make their own 'texture'.  I'm not good at stopping at stages like this.  I tend to try and overwork it and end up just spending a week painting something, but I liked the 'rougher' look ...

Spings (sketch)

It's been a bit of a wild month in these parts.  Whatever wasn't cooking alive in obscene temperatures was on fire and billowing smoke, and we've seen so little rain that the leaves are falling off the trees and the lawn is nearly dead.

But today I got a rare chance to sketch again. &n...

Tired - Flat Colours

A preview of one of the colour works I'm trying to get done for this month.  I went with a more 'dusk' setting for this, figuring it would be at the end of the workday instead of mid-day.

I may post a bit of Berrand's story when I get more of this done and post the nearer-to-finished r...
