Laranthir of the Wild – Paintover Warm-up | April 23, 2026

My time has been occupied by trying to squeeze in as many final edits to the book as I’m able to – which has involved some painting, and made me feel like like doing a small paintover of one of my older Laranthir artworks today. I’m not sure if I’ve ever posted the original before, because I wasn’t happy with how it turned out. Above is the paintover from this morning, and the original version is in the full post below: 

My problems with the original are mainly I found the pose disinteresting. When looking at it again this morning, I tried to correct some proportional errors in the original, which I think moderately helped the pose feel slightly less stagnant. 

I don’t consider the paintover “finished,” but I’m not sure I’ll take this one further, because there is another Laranthir painting I would like to finish sometime. :D And that I think has a much better foundational pose. 

But that is for the future, after books are printed!
