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 character is my Nightmare Court elementalist, Caydren; the middle character is my sylvari reaper/necromancer, Landis; and the right character is my Nightmare Courtier ranger/druid, Lorcan (who has yet to have his outfit added).

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 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

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

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

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 post here for easy reference or inspiration, if I decide to do any drawings or sketches based off it. :)

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

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

Felt like drawing Corveil’s outfit after posting the previous sketchpage, tried some drawing/painting things I’ve been meaning to try, too. :)

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

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

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

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 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 from yesterday, touched-up a bit today. I liked it yesterday, but don't like it looking at it again today. Ah well.

More in the full post!

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

Happy New Year! Wow, it’s been a bit since I last updated here. I’ve been meaning to start updating my sketchblog again for a while, and the new year seems like a prime time to start. My plan is to start using this blog as an additional archive for posts I make on social media....Continue Reading

Happy Thanksgiving! We are likely cooking up a storm in the kitchen right now, but let’s cross-celebrate with a compilation post with a few recent sketches. Above is a profile sketch practice of Corveil. I was mainly imagining a slightly different shape for the tip and bridge of his nose. Also, his hair was originally...Continue Reading

Crop from an Arquel painting I think might be fun to finish. Corveil in his fancy new parka. This was mainly an excuse to try out the design. Corveil in his parka with the hood up. Arquel practice. Crop from an Arquel painting I was fiddling with. For whatever reason, I seem to tend to...Continue Reading

Forest sketch. Autumnal forest sketch. Forest stream idea.
