This page went through a number of changes and deliberations while I worked on it, and I wanted to share some of the process and thoughts that went into it.  First, some process steps below! The first 2 are fairly early on in the process, though further along than the “layout” step (which are barely...Continue Reading

The first page for The Harbinger’s Path: Chapter 2 is now up!  This was the first page I finished for chapter 2. I finished it a while ago, and have been working on finalizing the rest of chapter 2’s pages since. Because of this (as I should have foresaw) – when I saw the page...Continue Reading

I realized while typing the title for this post that it’s been exactly a month since I posted with the first time I drew Varré, haha. I did the sketch for this last week while working on the comic pages, and I’d like to finish it sometime after the second chapter is a little more...Continue Reading

Wanted to do an update post! Chapter 2 for The Harbinger’s Path is about 85% complete now. I finished the first “refinement” pass for all the pages last Thursday, and began doing the “final refinement” pass for the first half of the chapter (if you’re confused about what I’m talking about here, I go into...Continue Reading

A recently finished Guild Wars 2 painting for Enzo! This one is in the “Tier 2: Watercolor-style” of commissions. A few process steps below: A sort of fun things about this one is, in the time between when I was asked to do this commission and when I could begin, this time span is when...Continue Reading

One more panel preview! I’d say Chapter 2 is a little less than half-finished now. I might update this post again later today with more progress. I’ve kept much of the process saved in the files, but I’m finding it smoother to continue progressing the pages and sorting through what to share later on. I...Continue Reading

Wanted to post a few panel previews from the current stage of Chapter 2! I have the majority of chapter 2 blocked out now – what feels like the bulk of the work for me. Progress is going smoothly, more than chapter 1, as I’ve been able to apply everything I learned from doing chapter...Continue Reading

Update: May 22, 2025 I think I figured out what I found displeasing about the original “finished” version of this drawing (the version right below this text), and why I preferred the earlier sketch – it’s likely because I didn’t darken the tops of his eye socks/below his brows, to match the contrast that was...Continue Reading

Update: May 24, 2025 Think I’m finished with the painting now. Above is the version with blood (more accurate to his character design), below is a version without it: Earlier work-in-process crop below: And original post below: One thing I didn’t expect from working on comic pages for The Harbinger’s Path is how it reminded...Continue Reading

Latest post to updates log: May 21, 2025 (scroll to bottom of post) The Harbinger’s Path officially launched today! :D The entire first chapter can be read here. Here’s the description from the site: Pact Marshal Trahearne spent 43 days captured by the Elder Dragon Mordremoth. What happened to the Firstborn during this time?  ...Continue Reading

One of the things I was hoping to do ahead of the my self-imposed May 12th Chapter 1 launch date, in addition to the chapter itself, was put together a little digital, web-resolution PDF of it to accompany its launch. Then, I had the thought that it might be fun to include some bonus art...Continue Reading

I’ve been wanting to do a series of “portrait-style” paintings for some of my favorite sylvari characters – the first one I’ve finished so far is Dagonet (from last October), and I’ve shown WIP’s of Riannoc and Cadeyrn in places before. Riannoc has been very close to being finished for a while, and I also...Continue Reading

I’ve been putting the final adjustments for the first chapter of The Harbinger’s Path, and thought it would be fun to show two past paintings of Trahearne and Malyck which were early representations for what has developed into this comic project. Only, when I saw the Malyck painting again, all I could notice were all...Continue Reading

One more panel preview! This might be the final one I do before releasing the first chapter, as I realize I shouldn’t show too much before the whole thing is released.

A friend is interested in doing a practice run of her own DnD campaign, and asked if I wanted to join. I haven’t done something like that before, but I said sure! She said think about which character and class I wanted to play as. I said I’ll get back to you! After paging through...Continue Reading

Edit: April 17, 2025 Started touching-up the left panel more. :) Proportion fixes for Trahearne. Also a higher-resolution version than earlier. Earlier post below: Ahh! I’ve been making steady progress on The Harbinger’s Path, and I’m really excited to finish the first chapter – partially because it will be so satisfying when I can finally...Continue Reading

“Malyck is no one. He comes from no where. On one hand, I am sorry for him. He has no roots. On the other, I am envious. He can become whatever he chooses. I hope he chooses well.” – Excerpt from “The Nightmare Harbinger” by Amaranda the Lonesome  (Source: The official Guild Wars 2 wiki)...Continue Reading

Note: This post may contain spoilers for the story in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns. Here are the first previews for some of the panels from The Harbinger’s Path, and a little more about my thought process behind what inspired this project. Two questions I always wished Guild Wars 2, and Heart of Thorns...Continue Reading

“Pact Marshal Trahearne spent 43 days captured by the Elder Dragon Mordremoth. What happened to the Firstborn during this time?” I’m excited to announce The Harbinger’s Path, a new project I’ve started and have been wanting to do for a while! It’s a Trahearne and Malyck short Guild Wars 2 fan comic, taking place in...Continue Reading

Guild Wars 2 commission to commemorate the characters’ owners’ anniversary! This one was commissioned several months ahead of time for a surprise gift, and I’m excited I can show it now. It’s painted in the “Speedpainting (Tier 3)” style. After reading the commissioner’s description for what they’d like to see, I had four initial sketch...Continue Reading

There seems to be a theme between this and the last post. Haha. This was a sketch idea I wanted to jot down yesterday. I started trying out some vague decorative background ideas. Still deciding which way to take it. Other than the general pose, I didn’t plan the rest out. It felt nice to...Continue Reading
