Guild Wars 2 "speedpainting" commission

I've been meaning to occasionally update this blog with some art I haven't posted here before! Starting with a few Guild Wars 2 Tier 3 "speedpainting" commissions from a while back. These are a selection of my favorites from 2023!

The other reason I wanted to post these is because I took timelapses of several pieces from the 2023 batch of "speedpaintings." I'm planning to post the timelapse for the first and third artworks in this post (the fiery charr and the confident-looking sylvari). 

I recently finished editing the timelapse videos for those two, and will post them to YouTube soon. I'll update this post when those videos are up! 

Quick sketch of my reaper to test some brush settings - I tried to digitally recreate the feel of using my favorite ink in my fountain pen, haha (Pilot Iroshizuku's "sui-gyoku" - "emerald green"). 

A few art process videos from over the years! Organized into 3 sections: Process videos, Process clips, and Real-time drawing process.

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, I was reminded this year of the time I drew my sylvari reaper playing a tin whistle (which is also known as the “Irish flute”).  The original painting is from 2019, and was part of a collaborative project organized by Angelique van der Mee. Several artists drew our own...Continue Reading

At the tail-end of formatting the Duskbirds zines – indulged briefly earlier with some imagination-drawing anatomy-practice with my sylvari reaper. I think I’m slightly more comfortable drawing torsos from imagination now. I need to do more neck studies in the future. 

I was chatting about PLCAF with my friend, and remarking about how my table is likely going to be more bare than the average. She then suggested I bring a few prints, which I hadn’t considered. I’d only been thinking about potential books/mini-zines I could bring, since this is an indie comics convention.  I then...Continue Reading

      I recently learned I will be at another convention next month! (Early April) This one is smaller than Manga ichiba at Fanime. In my focus with getting The Harbinger’s Path ready for Manga Ichiba, I forgot that I applied to this second convention. Similar with Manga Ichiba, I applied to this one...Continue Reading

Ended up adding a bit more to this Cerus painting I originally sketched during the launch week for Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure – which launched on August 23, 2023. According to the filename, I did the original sketch on August 29, 2023. I have a vivid impression of the starting parts of...Continue Reading

Crop from a work-in-progress painting I was fiddling with yesterday to warm-up my hand. 

I couldn’t resist having a go at drawing Clint after hearing about the Stardew Valley 10-year anniversary stream earlier today, and hearing who the new marriage candidates are. :D Forgive me if his body type isn’t accurate – since he’s a blacksmith, I imagined him having a husky but muscular build (banging at that anvil...Continue Reading

Commission for Skylark finished for this past Valentine’s Day, as a surprise gift for their partner! Above is the mesmer virtuoso, “Tarcisio Chiavetta,” who is Damedarosa’s character! (Names mentioned here with permission.)  Above and below are detail crops.  Process sheets below!  For this piece, we began with a general range for the budget. I was...Continue Reading
