Small WIP panel crop from Nightmare's Embrace I've been drawing recently - as well as, I soft-launched the info page for the comic last week, on July 22, 2026! I plan to retouch some of the artwork on it, as two of the profile artworks use older art (while the third is one of the paintover practices touched-up from last year), before sharing the page more widely. (That's also when I'll update the RSS.) In the meantime, the page in its current form is up at Landylachs.com/nightmare

More previews in the full post!

July update for the second edition group!

Small warm-up sketch attempting to draw a little scene from a short fic idea I was dabbling with last night.  

Cropped WIP in the full post. 

Or as I like to call it, "Adam Glenn with his big shiny sword." 

Loose painting practice of Adam Glenn / "He-Man" from Masters of the Universe. I ended up seeing this movie for a second time toward the end of June, haha. It was not planned, but I am so very, very happy it happened. :D

Short warm-up drawing of Trahearne from earlier today. Testing a few things! 

An update for the second edition group! 

Holographic cover variant for the second edition of "The Harbinger's Path"! 

More info + higher-quality video footage in the full post: 

Saw the He-Man / "Masters of the Universe" movie on Friday, and it was such a fun romp! I'm not very familiar with the source material - I haven't watched the show - but I went in expecting a campy good time. It delivered on this, and more, as I constantly felt the budget for this movie felt much higher than what I would expect for a movie of this scope. Which was an absolute treat for an audience-member, but it made me concerned for how this movie might perform at the box office - as while I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, it felt very niche. 

Covers for "The Harbinger's Path" and its bonus booklet!

"The scholar witnessed the fulfillment of his dream."

I was reminded of this drawing last week, during the lead-up to Guild Wars 3's announcement last Friday. During those days before - when GW3 was still a whisper of a guess - I saw fan speculation about how the teaser the studio showed early las week might be a "cleansed Orr." Which reminded me of this older art I was inspired to paint shortly after finishing the Knight of the Thorn questline when it was first added to the game. 



It involves one of my fan stories where Trahearne brings Malyck to a cleansed Orr, after Trahaerne cleanses Malyck from Mordremoth's corruption (this fan story takes place after Heart of Thorns).

I'm at the point while drawing "Nightmare's Embrace" (which I'm realizing as I'm typing this I should create a webpage I can link to, so I don't have to explain what it is each time) where I can't rely on my haphazard mix of different ref screens and drawings of my characters - at least, not if I want them to maintain a minimum semblance of design consistency. 

I didn't have a solid design for Lorcan's outfit until now, because every time I've drawn him I've done so slightly differently. Which is acceptable for paintings, not as much for comic pages. This is a loose drawing tonight to figure out which design I want to use for him in the mini-comic. 

Cover art for The Harbinger's Path "bonus booklet"! 

I drew the initial idea for this painting a while ago, way back in 2024! I'll add a few earlier WIP crops in the full post below. Most are from 2024, except for the final one from this past April, which I scrounged up for this post:
