Still working on the rendering of that sneak peek I posted a little over a week ago. (I jump from personal project to project... pretty often.) So have a few moreWIPs in the meantime and a quick look at my usual workflow. ~

Sometimes you just have to leave a piece in the oven for a while until your skills are catching up to the direction you intended for it.

Still a #WIP and a close-up, but we're getting there.

Another day, more Aspen.

This one has actually been in the works for quite a while. One of those WIPS in the hoard where I took my sweet time trying to learn more about a certain style or approach.

Considering where I started with this one- the time it spent in the oven was very much worth it.

Still alive! Just swamped with work.

But I briefly return with chibi expressions of my boy Aspen. Will be using these for the next campaign oneshot and I'm really looking forward to it!

Might make a few more for future use.

Hopping onto the bandwagon with this fun little quiz but didn't want to bother anyone with quote reposting.

The answers are... Peculiar and not at all what I was expecting, but still interesting!

It made me laugh so have some snapshot art with Xavier and Alban.

It’s that time of the year again, #PleinAirApril LETS GO!

I won’t be following a pre-made set or the likes. Just looked for images that grabbed my interest. My personal focus will be on pushing shapes, colours and specifically the digital tools I work with.

Some Blender practice. Trying to get an eevee Next version of some of the stylized water systems that I love the look of in UE and Unity.

Now to figure out how to get that caustics texture and gradient to carry over properly.

A little melancholic moment between Marjon and Ezekiehl, and the start of restoring something resembling a sibling bond.
Digital sketch. Greyscale values. Sequence of two images. Two characters sitting on a porch drinking tea. In the first the woman looks up at the one near the camera while he talks, contemplating with a worried look. In the second frame (the lower half of the image.) she has looked away, eyes downcast and looking down at the mug in her hands. She speaks, an attempt at comfort. "I've heard it said before. That not all those who wander are lost."

Sketch from back in February with my boy Aspen and another friend of his; Talea ( @Sarahsaa ) using her magic to heal Aspen's nose after he got pulled into a fight he was trying to break up. Not his most dashing moment; it was a glorious "nat one" roll.
Digital art. Stylized. Sketch. Talea healing Aspen's nose by holding it. Two parts showing two angles; one looking over Aspen's shoulder, down at Talea. The other showing both characters. Forest and field backgrounds. Warm lighting.

Small sketch. Getting faster with this level of rough work and just happy I can share something again. ✨️

My lad, Aspen, is in the back again. Peeling some apples. The other OC, Lyco, belongs to another person within the same campaign group.
