Some illustrations I worked on recently for carved in stone by @stoutstoat.co.uk. Loved working on this project!
A group of Picts travelling through the Scottish landscape, making use of dirt paths, old roman roads, bridges and ferries. A group of Picts travelling together (possibly a family? up to you!) including a young man with a spear, a woman dressed in furs, a young girl and a man who has been injured in battle or an accident and lost his right arm. The same group of Picts bartering with a settlement of charcoal burners for a place to stay overnight. Our Picts again, but this time they are camping with a tent. The young man stands watch while the woman cooks and the other two keep themselves entertained.

hmm. i sure draw minbari a lot
A stoic minbari with his denn'bok slung over his children. Three warrior caste children are hanging off it, laughing. Two ink drawings of Neroon as a child. In one drawing he is holding a stick and saying 'YOU FUCKING WOT MATE' and in the other he is petting an alien creature that is just a cat with horns because I am a lazy hack. Three minbari standing with the wind blowing. From left to right: an adult warrior, an adolescent priest and a warrior child. Now I've learnt how to draw their crests I cannot stop drawing minbari ;A; I will never be free. JMS has built a prison for me and have entered of my own volition and cannot leave.

a fun little babylon 5 piece I did recently for a friend's birthday 💛
The image is divided into three sections. At the top a human and a minbari are riding a speeder. In the middle section a human and minbari are pushing through a crowd of drazi. The final bottom section shows a close up of their eyes as they look at each other with stars in the background.

An adolescent minbari sits in a circle of light with bloody fists. Behind him an adult is holding back another boy who has blood streaming down his face. A group of Minbari walk by in the background holding candles and looking on disapprovingly.
