We'll be starting a Changeling: The Lost game soon, here's my character, Tuesday, an Autumn Court Wizened psychiatrist. I didn't expect to like the system and world as much as I did, but there are some incredibly juicy elements!

I also did it, but in aquamarine because red is scawwy. I dig the process, but I did end up trying to nail the angles of guides when freehanding them on the right. I'll try to care less next time.

I think of this as a failed illustration but I did learn tonnes making it. I should revisit the concept and trim it down a bit.

Late to the party, but here's my favourite piece. No kitty, but it's was one of those super quick pieces where everything goes right, and it feels very mine. I hope I can attend your class when I scrounge up some time from under the couch cushions!

Here's the battie getting swole. Sometimes you gotta remember your early studies, because I recall making it a point in my concepts that upper torso musculature is really important for flight, but at some point my bat skipped neck day so had to send him to the gym.

After linework and rough block-in (pictured), we saw that the battie needed more mass, and that the vampie's pose was a bit too stiff, so I reworked them before rendering further.

For colour explorations, I of course wanted something moody, being the goth freak that I am. While the bluer or greener tints seemed pretty safe and solid, I thought the golden hues were cool, and perhaps not as explored for night scenes.

Here are some of the early compositional sketches with some rough lines. I really really wanted to paint transparent wings, and the hugest friggin' moon helped achieve that.

During the process, we did some concept explorations. I've never done this for a piece before, it turned out to be pretty fun. The idea of an albino vampire bat was floated at some point, pending value work.

Painted this up under the Scottish-accented chaos-laden tutelage of @abigbat.bsky.social during an 8 week mentorship, in the style of a MtG card. It was a blast, honestly.

"The rain hadn't been kind, so the young woman was chosen as a sacrifice, like the forgotten rituals of old. Goddess Donnoa, however, looked kindly upon her, and not wanting to reap an insignificant life, she offered a valuable gift instead."

Finished this commission of a noir rogue, Mr. Eugene Bar. I had a lot of fun shooting reference for this, I actually borrowed a trench coat that my late grandfather used to wear during the 50s, so it was period-accurate (kinda, it's still D&D)
