Murkoph Partial Paintover (Warm-up) | December 18, 2025

Had the urge to do some warm-up sketching by partially painting over this ancient Murkoph drawing I did ages and ages ago. Murkoph, of course, is from the wonderful Unsounded webcomic! 

Just a crop of the face – the original is about chest-and-up. The original is on this blog somewhere. I’m going to refrain from linking it, because much of the older art on this blog I have trouble looking at. :p I probably shouldn’t paint over this one; both because it is so very old, and also because of its age, I don’t currently have access to the original resolution file (this is roughly painted over the web version, which you can probably tell from artifacting here and here). Additionally, at the time, I think this painting turned out well for where I was back then (I remember learning a lot while drawing this one). 

This is definitely one of the ones where I should just start a new drawing – which I do want to do, and have been wanting to do for a while! I’ll hopefully get around to it in 2026. 

For now, these paintovers are a relaxing way for me to warm up, So here he is! 

Edit: 3:24 pm 

I apparently have no self-control, and added a bit more to him. Full composition in the full post – I called it a “WIP” on the art, but I don’t know whether I’ll further it more: 

Very satisfying to revisit this painting again after so long, though!
