Felt like sharing a small in-progress preview of a panel I’m refining today. It’s Caydren!

Duskbirds Diorama Illustration (WIP) | March 7, 2026
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 went looking in my files for potential considerations, and remembered I have this Duskbirds-related illustration I’d started a while back. It’s about 90% finished. I could likely take it to a polished state this weekend if I carve out the time for it.
I also realized among the many Duskbirds comics I have noted down in sketch form, I had started 2 a while back that are about 70% of the way there. Contemplating finishing these for the mini-zine – as I tried out using color for these two, and I think they went in an interesting direction for the comic. But I also have to by wary lest my ambition reach further than the reality of my capabilities (or of logistical time constraints).
Anyway! Need to format the books first – that’s the main priority. Aiming to submit the print order this weekend!
GW2 Cerus WIP’s | March 5, 2026
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 this expansion. There was an introduction scene with Cerus I was particularly enamored with. I was intrigued by the darker direction this expansion began with, and I remember having the immediate urge to draw Cerus’s formidable presence with my reaper main.
That drawing was technically always unfinished. I happened to see it again yesterday, and I was reminded of what I wanted to fix with it at the time. Which I told myself I’d do at a later date.
I ended up painting it a bit yesterday for fun, and I think it is nearing a more finished state. I don’t think I’ve posted the full composition anywhere yet. I want to do so when it is finished. In the meantime, above is a sneak peak crop showing how it’s looking now. While below is the original sketch from during that launch week, in 2023.
Arquel Mire WIP Crop | March 4, 2026
Crop from a work-in-progress painting I was fiddling with yesterday to warm-up my hand.
Eparos WIP Crop | February 22, 2026
Work-in-progress crop showing “Eparos,” one of the characters from my original setting. Plus a sliver of another character I’ve shown before (though I’m realizing not on this blog), who I’ve since given a more thoughtful, less throwaway name, haha.
Well, I should show the earlier artwork of him below, then, as well!
