Its been a while since I posted any new art. Completely burnt myself out there.
However its important for me to get back on that horse, especially as March closes in.
So I thought I'd return to a sketch I stopped in the middle of. I made a few changes, & decided i'll ease back in by inking it.
Fem Space Marine "pencil" sketch based on the Captain (?) with powerfist mini.

fanart of Harrow from Harrow the Ninth, floating in space, holding a giant sword in her arms, between her legs, like she's holding onto it desperately, tears rolling down her face, eyebrows frowning in sadness and anger she's surrounded by skulls, ribcages, various bones

Picked up the Celestial Hurricanium at WHW, as Kat knows I have a thing for orreries and armillary spheres.

I think I'll mount the under dressed Dark Elf sorceress in the pulpit. Because why not?

a digifal illustration depicting a sunlit forest clearing on which a ruined fort stands. its built of white stone with ivy slowly overtaking it a d through out the image, there are a few goblins scattered, patrolling the grounds. the one we see most clearly, on the foreground carries a spear and a grin on his face. three painted portraits side by side: 1- portrait of a brown haired pale man done in the style of an old looking oil painting. it is contained on a thin oval frame a d lit by a single point above. it shows a man wringing out his hands on a dirty rag. he is dressed in a worn white shirt, daek waiscoat and a pale yellow necktie. his hair is falling loosely around his face in a messy ponytail and gis face bears marks of decay. his eyes are glazed over like eyes of a corpse and he has the look of tightly concealed anguish on his face. 2- Digital painting of a pale, thin looking dark haired young man with a sad, contemplative expression, staring somewhere into space to the side. He's wearing early late georgian attire- white shirt, yellow cravate and a dark coat. His hair is chin-lenght and wind -toussled. His eyes are a very pale blue and he has small, dark lips with a prominent cupids bow. His nose is larghe, hooked at the end and thin and his eyes are big and downturned with heavy lids. The painting is done in a loose painterly style, the background is a pale yellow and the portrait rests inside an ovel shape, with a dark grey colour being around it. At the bottom there are a few inscriptions reading: "Andrei Croft", "England 1835", and in cursive in the middle there is a Like 12:2 quote in latin. 3-portrait painting of a dark skinned older woman with white hair and pearl earrings. she is wearing a victorian style green blouse embridered with flowers and is smirking slightly while staring at the viewer head on. two illustrations next to eachother: 1- digital illustration on black background depicting a few different scenes. The character shown are a soft-faced nun (Catherine) and a larger, more androgynous figure with straw colored hair (Nikola). The top image shows them standing in front a of a small church, with autumn coloured nature around and a pile of debris burning to the side, smoke rising from it. Below that, there is a drawing of Nikky with blood ont heir face, and a second one showing it being cleaned off by Catherine. On the left there id a drawing that shows Nikky kneeling, hunched on the ground, blood splatter clothing, with Catherine standing tall above her, watching. And ont he right side there is a drawing of the two in profile. Catherine is golding up Niklky's chin with two delicate fingers and Nikky is kneeling on their heels and is lookign up with a set jaw. 2- a digital illustration of a hunched-over figure ont heir hands and knees with a dark background. The figure has blonde hair and a long tan trenchcoat. their face is fully obscured as they bend over a splatter of blood ont he floor, pushing themselves up on clawed pale hands. Above the figure, there is a drawing of a clawed red hand holding a the same pale figure curled up in its palm. Viscous liquid dripping down from it. At the top of the page, there are two beige-coloured hounds curling in on themselves in agonised positions. One is curling forward with its tongue curling out and the other is biting at its own side. There are three small paragraphs of text in red ink and a typewriter style font reading: "A Thing, touched by the hand of the beast", "Something rotting, marked, wretched, coiling and writhing behind each of their ribs", "Planted there by the ichor-slick-black-dripping hand of the Devil" four illustrations side by side: 1-digital illustration of a witchy woman under a full moon holding a skull. she is wearing a loose dress, trinket jewelery, her skin is dark, reflecting the blue hues of the sky and her hair is in dreadlocks. 2- a painting showing a crazed village woman mid-transformation into a corvid demon. the light from the moon is red and she is levitating in a corn field, her body contorting and a crazed smile adorning her face. 3-a digital painting of a young girl in viking-style dress, sorrounded by a fluttering group of crows. The background is a foggy, cold, branble area of sorts with dried grass at her feet and her dress is a muted jean-blue. She has a woven belt, a pouch hanging off it and a fur cloak around her shoulders. there is some viking style brass jewelery around her neck. Her hair is blonde , tied back and she has short bangs. There is a determined exúression on her face and her fists are clenched as if getting ready to stand her ground. At the bottom of the page, there is a copyright bar reading: © Studio Agate 2025, Shadows of Esteren: Dearg 2, Charlie "Newt" Borovský 2023 @EyeOfTheNewt 4-A thin vertical illustration in an Art Nouveau poster style depicting a small man in a paired dance with a dark horned figure. The devil is clad in flowing fabrics and furs, his skin dark grey. He is tipping the smaller man back, one hand supporting at the small of his back and the other intertwined with the other's fingers. Andrei is wearing a short with billowy sleeves, a green west and tightly fitting pants with white socks and fancy shoes. He has a shocked expression on his face as he's being tipped back and his medium lenght dark brown hair falls freely. The background is made of intricate decorative designs and the text on top says: Saltiato Cum Diabolo.

A woman sits in a relaxed pose, her green shirt and pants loose, while her tan skin shows numerous scars and smudges of lipstick kisses. Her brown hair, streaked with gray, is tied in a braid, and around her neck hangs a talisman with a silver star and fangs on either side. She looks confident, gazing off‑camera at her beloved wife

A night of sketching the same character with just one pen.
Six digital pen sketches of the same reference model used for Tuppence Lyon. Three rows of paired pictures, two slightly glam with big hair, straight faced and shocked face, two slightly sleaker, grumpy frown and disbelieving pout, and finally a relaxed pair, one with head cocked and lips pursed, thinking, and a casual arms crossed.

Looking at my Necron list, with an eye to making it Highlander compliant. I'd have to drop two Lokhust Lords and 1 blob of Lokhust Heavy Destroyers. Leaves me 345 points to play with.

While I'm on the subject of Gideon the Ninth:

Does it get much discussion that the most self righteous religious asshole adept is the whitest one? Mayonnaise Uncle etc...

This amuses me, because it fits.

Painting of the bottom of a grand waterfall in daylight, the water clear and blue, and the rocks that surround it green with moss and foliage. A small island with a large rock settled on it emerged above where the water pools; the legendary Mana Sword is embedded in the rock, glowing softly with a magical blue light. Painting of an underwater themed temple, heavy on blues and sea-greens. Water curtains line the sides, supported by aged, twisted stone columns. A large glass window on the ceiling looks up through the water that sits above. Stained glass windows flank the focal point in the center; a pedestal with the magical Mana Seed floating above it. Painting of a nighttime desert scene, heavy in purples and pinks, with an inky purple sea along the right side. A shooting star soars overhead, and other iridescent stars lie crashed in the sands along the path. In the distance, three heroes walk towards a warmly-lit temple way off in the distance.
