Small practice panel to try some things out. Arquel from a panel in one of the pages I’ve been sketching for practice/fun/warm-ups.  Edit: As is tradition, immediately after posting this to a social site, I see errors previously unnoticed – very slight adjustment, the original is below: 

This page already has color, but I’m doing some line cleanup – one of my favorite panels to draw for this page. :D Slightly older version in the full post: 

Unplanned Varré drawing from yesterday. I was pleased with the comic’s chapter 3 progress over the weekend, and rewarded myself by drawing Varré! Which I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I still have the other in-progress drawing of him from June I plan to finish at some point.  I ended up cropping this...Continue Reading

I’ve always wanted to do a study of Blademaster Diarmid from Heart of Thorns, because Carlyn Lim’s designs from this expansion are some of my favorite artworks from the Guild Wars franchise. Her concept designs for the “Nightmare Commanders” – which became the “Mordrem Commanders” in the live game – are some of the most...Continue Reading

For additional animation practices on this blog arranged chronologically, browse the “2D Animation” category here. Edit: August 16. 2025 Testing with a 24 fps framerate (previous tests are all 12 fps).  Original post below:  Some 2D animation practice to familiarize myself with some very basic fundamentals! Not finished by any means, mainly just trying to...Continue Reading

Edit August 13, 2025: Added the fullbody WIP composition!  Anatomy practice! I’ve been practicing drawing anatomy construction from imagination this year, and this is one of those practices. So, please forgive me for any anatomical inaccuracies, as these are for practicing this type of anatomy construction drawing from imagination.  I’ve been having fun running around...Continue Reading

Another silly animation test/practice. This is a small crop from a painting of my sylvari reaper I started a while ago, and it’s been on my back-burner to finish it sometime – dug it up today to practice more with Krita’s timeline/animating with frames instead, haha. 

This is a very, very rough test – but contemplating adding slight animation to the final page of chapter 2.  I should probably be using fade/opacity transitions for this and not frames, but, I both don’t know how to do that in Krita (yet, if the function is there), and I’m also partial to frame...Continue Reading

Felt like doing another “paintover” practice of one of my older paintings as a warm-up today – which I inevitably spent more time on than I intended. I wouldn’t consider this a “finished” painting, but I’d considered it “finished” as far as its intended practice. :D This is my “spellweaver” Nightmare Court sylvari from Guild...Continue Reading

This is a 2025 practice paintover of one of my older paintings of Trahearne from 2021. I’ll put the original at the end of the post, and you can flip between them for comparison (and judge me on how much I’ve improved or not since, haha).  I remember thinking this fan theory quite fun at...Continue Reading

Small preview from “Nightmare’s Embrace,” my second Guild Wars 2 comic I’ve been chipping away at here and there. This is an early color test from a few months ago.  Originally, I was planning to start working on “Nightmare’s Embrace” after I’ve finished “The Harbinger’s Path.” I might still do this, but I’m also thinking...Continue Reading

Trahearne and Malyck pixel art from 2022, when I became enamored with Aesprite. It’s still one of my favorite art programs, and I’d love to dabble more with it sometime.
