Sketch: Mer…maid Laudna

I am having waaaay too much fun with this! Laudna's completely off-her-rocker energy, plus lion fish body (the second in my life, and in this year), and Pâté being half fish instead of half rat.

I'll probably post (at least some) early sk...

Mer-Orym

I had so much fun with this! And cursed the scales on his tail about five hundred and sixty times.

I also changed the design of the shield so it doesn’t serve as quite a dramatic brake. 😂

Not sure how many of these I’ll do, but...

Welcome back, Blue Boy

Dorian being buried under his ExU besties, Orym and Fearne, as he returns to Bells Hells.

Can’t wait to see what his new outfit will look like next week. I’ll be very selfish here and hope he’s ditching the ridiculous wing chestpiece....

Everyone else has drawn this scene already, but exaaaaamssss…

Getting there… getting there!

(Yes, I know Fearne's little tail is technically under her dress, but I had to draw it wagging!)

MerMay: Curious

Here's the first of the cutie-pie mermaids! Done in Holbein coloured pencils (with a magnifying glass; that went halfway well). I just hope I have enough eyesight left for today to mark some English exams now. XD

Reunion Sketches

Today's episode of Critical Role forced MerMay on hold for a second. 😁 No kisses yet, but hearty glomps and looking deep into each other's eyes. 😊😊

Dorian is back! And it’s so good to see Robbie at the table again. The energy is ...

Mermay - lineart

I'll finish up these three cuties as individual images, I think. Did a thick outline becaue that might help with the coloured pencil. We'll see how that goes!

Also, it wouldn't b a drawing challenge (like MerMay) if I didn't spontanously do...

Mermay

Of course I never planned to do Mermay, so here I am on 2nd May thinking, hey, I want to do mermaids! Really, really cute mermaids.

I'm even thinking of trying out some coloured pencil again…

Dorym kiss

It’s hilarious to see how several Orym-loving artists on social media have been posting Dorym kiss scenes as warm-up for Thursday. We'd all be so disappointed if it didn’t happen. 😆

But hey, the art is here to stay.

Warming up for the Dorym reunion with kissy pics =D

Next Thursday, I hope our favourite halfling will get his blue boy back. Orym's seemed so desperate in the last few sessions that I would be very surprised if we didn't get at least a fierce hug. Until then, I'll practice my kissy poses. 3D models...

Thumbnail redraw: Broken Road

And I'll keep on walking down this broken road

Looking for the man who knows me

(Apologies to Gary Barlow) 😆

The last episode had a thumbnail featuring Liam, and of course I had to do this. Original:

So close and yet so far

Finished piece of Orym's latest Sending to Dorian.

"Can you get there? I'm… struggling. Sorry. Can you get here? … Fuck, I miss you..."

I can’t wait for those two to finally meet up again. And if they do indeed get together, what...

Sketch: So near and yet so far

Dorian/Orym reunion certainly seems imminent! Emotional support halfling needs his blue boi.

Xabi Alonso (and more about football)

I've mentioned it once or twice - the side of me that you haven’t seen much of is that I'm a diehard fan of Bayer Leverkusen and have been since ...

Orym sketches for C3_E91 and 92 (not really spoilery)

Here's the cleaned-up sketch of Orym and Chetney, along with two new ones from this week.

(Mild spoilers follow, so please stop reading here!)

Top left: "This is the blade" - the blade that killed Will and Derrig. I'm glad he got that ...

*spoiler ep. 91* Orym and Chetney

Can I ask how much spoiler warning you'd like? I know that about 70% of you don't follow Critical Role, so that's not a question for you, but for the Critters among you, is what I'm doing okay for you?

So, the companion piece to Ashton holdi...

*Critical Role Spoiler* (coloured)

Ashton picking up the head of F.C.G.

Okay, I had a weird day. I was painting Ashton crying his heart out while Bayer Leverkusen, the football club I've been supporting since 1990, won the league for the first time in its history, a whopping...

*massive Critical Role spoiler*

Episode 91 of campaign 3 will be remembered for a long time. 😭 Rest in Peace, FCG.

(Context: in a fight that was threatening to turn into a total party kill, automaton Fresh Cut Grass sacrificed himself to take out the bbeg. I was holdin...

Lady Amalthea

"She has a newness. Everything is for the first time, the first time anyone has ever done these things. See how she draws her breath and lets it go again, as though no one else in the world knew that air was good. It is all for her. If I learned t...

Video: Lady Amalthea in progress

I love painting translucent people. 💧

Lady Amalthea - sketchy lineart

Linetch? Skineart?

So, the poll was decided after a few minutes - the white-haired character I'm drawing for this month's poll will be The last Unicorn's Lady Amalthea. Done with reference (a few different stock photos). Really looking forw...

Magnolia blossoms

Celebrating the fact that magnolia blossom season fell on a Friday this year. XD

Also giving my new brush set another outing, with a little unusual subject matter to show off its range!

The Blue Boy

Dorian Storm. I want him back at the table so much!

Painted with my new brush set(s), the same I already did the landscapes with. So much nice drippy stuff happening here!

Dorian Storm (on the ferry right now)

We’re currently on the ferry back to Dunkerque, and for a while, we weren’t even sure if there was going to be a ferry because there’s a storm over the English Channel. So when I started sketching what I thought would be some unnamed Elven P...

Finished fox vendor

Last day in Bournemouth! The Simple Minds concert was great and really everything my hubby could have wished for (Del Amitri, being supporting act, was a little short, and was made worse by the fact that many people arrived only when they were pla...

Squirrelpunk fox street vendor

Here's the lineart for this month’s voted art! I had the sketch done for weeks, and then didn’t feel up to much. Yesterday, at the car ferry port at Calais, we had almost two hours before our ferry left, so I broke out a new scratchy ink brush...

After more than two years…

… I decided that I can fill a sketchbook with rough sketches but USE IT, instead of quietly whining for the days when I could fill them with filigree watercolours. 

The last rough sketch in there dates back to 2022, and the last inten...

Timelapse video and the livestream image!

Here's the output of Saturday's livestream, of very typically German "head-willows", so called because they're periodically clipped to grow long, thin br...

Reminder: Livestream today!

Livestream starts in just under an hour! Join me with your sketch ideas - otherwise, I have plenty I can show you. =)

More accidental landscapes

Did the moor landscape in the waiting room (reminds me of Northern Germany) and the other one last night. I'm utterly in love with the foliage brush I used on the trees! I made it months ago and never really used it, but it's fantastic for this.&n...
