2025 partial paintover of a 2013 painting | Cropped<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Had the urge to do some warm-up sketching by partially painting over this ancient Murkoph drawing I did ages and ages ago. Murkoph, of course, is from the wonderful Unsounded webcomic! <\/a><\/p>\n

Just a crop of the face – the original is about chest-and-up. The original is on this blog somewhere. I’m going to refrain from linking it, because much of the older art on this blog I have trouble looking at. :p I probably shouldn’t paint over this one; both because it is so very old, and also because of its age, I don’t currently have access to the original resolution file (this is roughly painted over the web version, which you can probably tell from artifacting here and here). Additionally, at the time, I think this painting turned out well for where I was back then (I remember learning a lot while drawing this one). <\/p>\n

This is definitely one of the ones where I should just start a new drawing – which I do want to do, and have been wanting to do for a while! I’ll hopefully get around to it in 2026. <\/p>\n

For now, these paintovers are a relaxing way for me to warm up, So here he is! <\/p>\n

Edit: 3:24 pm <\/strong><\/p>\n

I apparently have no self-control, and added a bit more to him. Full composition in the full post – I called it a “WIP” on the art, but I don’t know whether I’ll further it more: <\/p>\n
