I’ve been meaning to send out a mailing list email this week for this upcoming chapter (planning to sometime today), and I also had the random idea last night (or this morning?) to try drawing a small graphic for the mailing list, in general. This would need a lot of refinement, but jotted down the...Continue Reading

I have this sketch of Malyck I drew last year, which I thought the composition might look interesting, and which I just haven’t had a chance to get around to doing more with it since. Largely because I since decided to draw a comic with him instead of doing more paintings, haha. I would still...Continue Reading

The Harbinger’s Path: Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Mordremoth’s Favor is set to start updating next Monday, September 29th!  I will also show 2 bonus crops at the end of this post – one that I posted yesterday on Bluesky, and a bonus version here with color flats added.  Bluesky Censorship Though before showing the images,...Continue Reading

I meant to post this at some point, and why not now. This is one of the concept drawings I did for the “Avatar of Mordremoth” we see in Chapter 1 of “The Harbinger’s Path” GW2 fan comic, seen most prominently on page 13 in Chapter 1: The Firstborn’s Stand. I drew one or two...Continue Reading

Anatomy construction practice from imagination. It’s Corveil! Cropped because I probably won’t work on this more, it’s mainly a mental drawing exercise I wanted to try. 

Small image preview of an in-progress painting I felt like sharing.  Maybe I’ll do some old-style blogging here for a sec – in the full post since it isn’t art-related. 

Small practice panel to try some things out. Arquel from a panel in one of the pages I’ve been sketching for practice/fun/warm-ups.  Edit: As is tradition, immediately after posting this to a social site, I see errors previously unnoticed – very slight adjustment, the original is below: 

This page already has color, but I’m doing some line cleanup – one of my favorite panels to draw for this page. :D Slightly older version in the full post: 

Unplanned Varré drawing from yesterday. I was pleased with the comic’s chapter 3 progress over the weekend, and rewarded myself by drawing Varré! Which I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I still have the other in-progress drawing of him from June I plan to finish at some point.  I ended up cropping this...Continue Reading

I’ve always wanted to do a study of Blademaster Diarmid from Heart of Thorns, because Carlyn Lim’s designs from this expansion are some of my favorite artworks from the Guild Wars franchise. Her concept designs for the “Nightmare Commanders” – which became the “Mordrem Commanders” in the live game – are some of the most...Continue Reading

Edit: August 16. 2025 Testing with a 24 fps framerate (previous tests are all 12 fps).  Original post below:  Some 2D animation practice to familiarize myself with some very basic fundamentals! Not finished by any means, mainly just trying to learn some things. It’s of one of my “Duskbirds” characters, which seemed like they’d be...Continue Reading

Edit August 13, 2025: Added the fullbody WIP composition!  Anatomy practice! I’ve been practicing drawing anatomy construction from imagination this year, and this is one of those practices. So, please forgive me for any anatomical inaccuracies, as these are for practicing this type of anatomy construction drawing from imagination.  I’ve been having fun running around...Continue Reading

Another silly animation test/practice. This is a small crop from a painting of my sylvari reaper I started a while ago, and it’s been on my back-burner to finish it sometime – dug it up today to practice more with Krita’s timeline/animating with frames instead, haha. 

This is a very, very rough test – but contemplating adding slight animation to the final page of chapter 2.  I should probably be using fade/opacity transitions for this and not frames, but, I both don’t know how to do that in Krita (yet, if the function is there), and I’m also partial to frame...Continue Reading

Felt like doing another “paintover” practice of one of my older paintings as a warm-up today – which I inevitably spent more time on than I intended. I wouldn’t consider this a “finished” painting, but I’d considered it “finished” as far as its intended practice. :D This is my “spellweaver” Nightmare Court sylvari from Guild...Continue Reading

This is a 2025 practice paintover of one of my older paintings of Trahearne from 2021. I’ll put the original at the end of the post, and you can flip between them for comparison (and judge me on how much I’ve improved or not since, haha).  I remember thinking this fan theory quite fun at...Continue Reading

Small preview from “Nightmare’s Embrace,” my second Guild Wars 2 comic I’ve been chipping away at here and there. This is an early color test from a few months ago.  Originally, I was planning to start working on “Nightmare’s Embrace” after I’ve finished “The Harbinger’s Path.” I might still do this, but I’m also thinking...Continue Reading

Trahearne and Malyck pixel art from 2022, when I became enamored with Aesprite. It’s still one of my favorite art programs, and I’d love to dabble more with it sometime. 

Progress shot of Corveil from a longer painting. I have a few personal work paintings/illustrations that have been hovering at this ~90% progress state for a while. I keep telling myself I’ll finish them after I make some progress with the comic, but I’d like to try and figure out a way to work them...Continue Reading

I’ve had this drawing of Arquel around for several years, that I first did during one of the days for “Paint-ober” in 2021. This was a daily painting challenge I made up for myself during October of that year (if it existed prior, I don’t think I saw anyone participating that year). I was inspired...Continue Reading

Edit July8, 2025:  Wider crop showing the hat-wearing six-eyed bird, who I think is a crow, though I’m not 100% certain.  Original post below: Painting WIP of “Jinu” I may or may not finish. Friends convinced me to watch Kpop Demon Hunters over the weekend, and I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as...Continue Reading
