The Harbinger’s Path: Panel Previews | April 9, 2025
April 9, 2025Digital Art,Guild Wars 2
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
Cover for “The Harbinger’s Path” | A Trahearne and Malyck Guild Wars 2 Fan Comic
April 9, 2025Digital Art,Guild Wars 2
“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 | April 4, 2025
March 26, 2025Commission Process,Digital Art,Finished Art,Guild Wars 2
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
“Impale” Work-in-Progress | March 21, 2025
March 21, 2025Digital Art,Digital Painting,Personal Art,Work-In-Progress
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
GW2 Illustration Work-in-Progress | March 19, 2025
March 19, 2025Digital Art,Digital Painting,Guild Wars 2,Work-In-Progress
Had an idea with my sylvari characters I wanted to jot down! It turned into a book cover composition, somehow. It’d be reversed if I used it as one – but I mainly wanted to sketch my three characters together, since I haven’t drawn them all together in an illustration in a while. The left...Continue Reading
Geissler Concepts (In-progress) | March 11, 2025
March 11, 2025Concept Art,Digital Art,Digital Painting,Personal Art,Sketches & Studies
I’ve been meaning to try some different designs for Geissler for a while – here’s a recent attempt! I’m not sure if I’ll finish this one, but it felt good to draw him again. The “in-progress” of the title refers to the design – he’s meant to have an accessory by his wrist, and probably...Continue Reading
Trahearne Sketches | March 7, 2025
March 7, 2025Digital Art,Guild Wars 2,Sketches & Studies
Trahearne sketch ideas (character from Guild Wars 2). The idea was, I wanted to see how Trahearne looked if he held Caladbolg in the “modern fantasy” greatsword style, where the weapon is slung (probably impractically) over the shoulder. I suspect (though could easily be mistaken) this pose was once popularized by FF7’s Cloud Strife player...Continue Reading
Corveil Color Sketch + Enviro Thumbs | March 6, 2025
March 6, 2025Digital Art,Personal Art,Sketches & Studies
Had a potential idea today for the Corveil sketch from February 20, 2025. And a rough thumb of a vague idea I had one of the mornings earlier this week, and forgot about until this morning. Only this time, I sketched it down quickly before I could forget it again! It’s probably difficult to make...Continue Reading
Illustration Work-in-Progress | February 27, 2025
February 27, 2025Digital Art,Personal Art,Work-In-Progress
Wanted to post some progress on this illustration I’ve been fiddling around with! Corveil and Arquel again here. The loose idea behind this one is, “Not your voice, not your vision.” This is also another of the ideas that I sketched a while back, and didn’t add to in a while – though not as long...Continue Reading
Heart of Thorns-themed GW2 Homestead | February 26, 2025
February 26, 2025Screenshots
Let’s test adding non-art posts to this sketchblog! I’m not sure if I’ll continue doing it, but that’s why this post is a test. :) The idea seemed fun, so I thought, why not. My ulterior motive is I’m pleased with how the homestead is progressing, and figure it might be nice to have a...Continue Reading
Sketchpage | February 20, 2025
February 20, 2025Digital Art
A few crops from a sketchpage warm-up from earlier today, plus one I started refining a bit more for fun. Corveil and Arquel in these: Hrmmm I should probably take down the link to this sketchblog from my portfolio site if I’m going to post sketches like this one, haha. Even though it’s technically SFW,...Continue Reading
“Don’t Listen” | Corveil Portrait: February 19, 2025
February 19, 2025Digital Art,Digital Painting,Finished Art,Personal Art,Work-In-Progress
Edit: March 2, 2025 Moved all the edits log to the end of this post to make the post read more easily. :) Original post below: Here’s an illustration where the original sketch was from a long time ago – November 2023, in fact! I’ll add a crop of that version at the end of...Continue Reading
Corveil Painting Test | February 12, 2025
February 12, 2025Digital Art,Personal Art,Sketches & Studies
Felt like drawing Corveil’s outfit after posting the previous sketchpage, tried some drawing/painting things I’ve been meaning to try, too. :)
Sketchpage | February 12, 2025
February 12, 2025Digital Art,Personal Art,Sketches & Studies
A few recent sketches of Corveil and Kurt I just wanted to post for myself. :) With Corveil, I was trying out some hairstyle options for him. I started with a longer hairstyle (which you can see in the top-left initial sketch), because while shorter hair probably suits his character better, I tend to lengthen...Continue Reading

February 6, 2025Site Updates
For site updates, I think I’ll make at most one post per month, and continuously add any additional updates during the month to this monthly post. This way, I am not clogging the blog with posts about web maintenance, haha. Preview images added Added Open Graph Support to this sketchblog Also added to Duskbirds and the...Continue Reading
Domon Kasshu Sketch | February 6, 2025
February 6, 2025Digital Art,Sketches & Studies,Work-In-Progress
I’ve had this sketch of Domon Kasshu sitting around for a while – maybe posting it will hasten my finishing it. Or, maybe this will be the final version of it. Who knows! I’ve had a number of G Gundam artworks in various stages of completion from over the years, and I hope I can...Continue Reading
Malyck Pencil Sketches | February 5, 2025
February 5, 2025Finished Art,Guild Wars 2,Pencil / Ink,Sketches & Studies
Edit: February 6, 2025 I decided to refine the Malyck drawing a bit more, seen above! I since wrote on the following page, and there was quite a bit of see-through. I tried to remove it as best I could digitally, but it makes me consider acquiring a pencil board in the future. There is...Continue Reading
Happy Lunar New Year! | January 29, 2025
January 29, 2025Digital Art,Digital Painting,Personal Art,Sketches & Studies
Happy Year of the Snake! I’ve had a sketch of Aurelle with her pet snake or familiar I did a while ago, and today seemed an opportune time to try and add to it. This is how the sketch looked when I opened it up earlier today: For reference, here’s how large Julius is normally:...Continue Reading

I’ve been making some small UI tweaks to this blog and my main site that I wanted to document for myself somewhere – and this blog seems the perfect place to do so! Name change The first change, which is both the most and least obvious, is I changed the address for this blog. The...Continue Reading
Warm-up Sketch
January 14, 2025Concept Art,Digital Art,Personal Art,Sketches & Studies
Warm-up sketch from yesterday, touched-up a bit today. I liked it yesterday, but don’t like it looking at it again today. Ah well. It’s a concept for a potentially new character. He’d be related to Arquel in some way (not necessarily in terms of blood relation – he might only be a similar species, for...Continue Reading
Lilly | Guild Wars 2 Commission
January 14, 2025Commission Process,Commissions,Digital Art,Finished Art,Guild Wars 2,Work-In-Progress
Recently finished this GW2 commission for Rafael! His character, Lilly, who is a bloodstone-themed elementalist! Initial sketch ideas! I had several ideas come to mind based on Rafael’s description for Lilly, as he had a specific mood and personality in mind for her portrait. I always love working from a written description. It’s very satisfying...Continue Reading
