Last one for #inktober. Mithron is the king of the western elves and the grandfather of my protagonist. I'm almost done with the major side characters now, but there's a few yet to tackle. #originalcharacter

If I have a regret about my characters, it's deciding that princess Solana is the most beautiful person in the world. It means that I'm never satisfied with how my pictures turn out, and I'll probably be trying forever. This is as good as I can get at the moment. #inktober #originalcharacter

Travel tips for weary adventurers visiting the dwarven capital: along the thoroughfare, many of the inns offer complimentary bathing rooms with hot running water, thanks to the many hot springs under the mountain. Madam Kembrast and her wife runs one of the popular options. #inktober #dwarf

Another new character for Inktober. Kreigil is the resident stone-speaker of the dwarven capital of Thoec Flar, and has held that position for hundreds of years. #inktober #originalcharacter

Let's post some of my latest stuff for Inktober! I've been drawing a lot of various side characters for a visual novel I'm working on. This is Yuern, a spoiled young man who was brought up never being told no. Predictably, this ends in tragedy for everyone involved. #inktober #originalcharacter

My copy of Sarah Àlainn's album Isekai finally turned up, and while I've been listening to the digital version for a while it's always a treat to put in a CD and just immerse yourself. Once again, thank you for the music!

I was pretty happy with the original picture from 2017, but decided to make a new version of it now that I've included Nenielle Cairbôr in my story. She's the sole survivor from an early era of careless adventurers. #originalcharacter

Long ago, I participated in a live action RPG. This is how I imagine my character Matholwch would look today. I still have the cloak. #originalcharacter

Olaen A'Dimo struggles with the role he played in an unjust war.
‘I’m a soldier. I follow orders.’ A’Dimo sighed. ‘I can only hope there’s room left for honour in the margins.’

I haven't been drawing very much recently, as I've been busy writing a short novel, based on my characters. But now that it's mostly finished (?), I can in turn use it as inspiration to draw those I never drew before. This is Thiana, the main character's teacher.
