I drew a fan art for @joshnickerson83.bsky.social who just completed his romantic comedy comic, Melancholy, after 10 years! You can read it on Tapas here: tapas.io/series/melan...

The blond main character of Josh Nickerson's romantic comedy comic, Melancholy. It's a great story about a hopeless romantic trying to find love in odd places.

I painted this portrait of Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister as a demo for a digital painting project this month. These always come out more realistic than I intend

A digital portrait of Tywin Lannister played by the amazing Charles Dance. I loved his performance, although I didn’t really enjoy the show, I think it was excessively cruel in ways that other adaptations of George R R Martin’s works are not. Im very excited for Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, those books were amazing.

Day 18: I was at a school event where everyone was drawing their “sona.” I don’t draw myself except as weird beasts and the first thought I had was Godzilla with G-pen nibs for fins so I had to draw it

Day 15 cuz I’m out of order: a cleric character design. I found this chill D&D channel where this older gamer plays solo ttrpg adventures using the rulesets he used back in the 70s and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve watched so far.

A cleric clad in chainmail looks off in the distance as she rests her hand on her flame headed mace. This is based on one of the characters of Brian’s “Holmes Ruleset” Dungeons and Dragons videos
