Small image preview of an in-progress painting I felt like sharing.  Maybe I’ll do some old-style blogging here for a sec – in the full post since it isn’t art-related. 

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

Testing with a 24 fps framerate (previous tests are all 12 fps).  More in the full post!

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 in the "Untamed" build for my ranger, which I never knew how fun a spec it is to play (mainly because of the amazing vocal lines Brandon Bales recorded for it, haha - but also the main "unleashed" hammer skill is so fun and satisfying!). It

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.  More in the full post!

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 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
