A second attempt at this scene from The Promised Queen in a different style. Remind me to never write a book with a tree motif again: I have hand cramp from drawing all those goddamn leaves! #drawing #handdrawn #procreate #procreateart #digitalart #characterart #thepromisedqueen
A hand drawn image of two people standing in front of a throne. On the left is a woman wearing a long green dress in a vaguely medieval style with along full skirt, a shoulder train and trailing sleeves. The sleeves, train and skirt are trimmed with silver fur and the train and skirt are embroidered with silver leaves. She has pale skin and brown hair and an elaborate silver and green tree-shaped headdress. She is about to take the hand of a much larger man wearing a full suit of armour. The armour is silver with a green tree and leaf motif on the breastplate, back and hip plates. The chainmail sleeves are green overlapping leaves. His helmet is styled as a fearsome horned beast with fangs and conceals his entire face. Only his hand can be seen as it is about to take hers. Behind them is an elaborate throne with a green seat and a huge surround shaped like a silver tree, which is life-sized and has silver leaves. Behind that is a stained glass window that also has a tree motif. It is flanked by pink marble columns and stands on a pink marble dais. A close up of the fearsome horned helmet. It has a motif of green vines and leaves and two sets of horns, one rising from the forehead and one curving back over the ears. A close up of the hip plates with a stylised green tree design and green buckles. The green leaves of the chainmail sleeve can be seen at the top. A close up of the female figure, shown in profile. She has brunette hair in an updo, large green jewels in her ears, a purple howl around her neck, and a very elaborate headdress of silver branches and green leaves. The neckline, shoulder train and sleeve of her dress are trimmed with silver fur and silver leaf embroidery can be seen on the green sleeve of her dress, which is slit open to show her upper arm.

Sequel to last week’s drawing. Poor Rhaell isn’t doing too well, is he? #ThePromisedQueen #ProcreateArt #fanart #ProcreateDrawing #handdrawn
Graphic Content Warning Hand drawn image of a man lying on a bed. He is badly wounded by many cuts and claw marks. He and the bed are covered in blood. I like drawing blood.

Warning! This ones’s a bit gory. Turns out I like drawing blood as much as I like writing about it 😏

Here’s Rhaell from #ThePromisedQueen, following a certain fight in the Moonlight Highlands. Yes I had to re-read the scene to remember exactly where he got hacked into 😂

A blurred background with the text Graphic Content Warning A hand drawn image of a white man carrying a sword. He has long dark hair, partially braided, and stands 3/4 turned away from the viewer, wearing a green sleeveless tunic, and grey trousers tucked into grey and black boots. The tunic has ornate armour at the shoulder, which matches the vambraces on his forearms. There is a motif of trees and leaves just about visible on the clothing, but it’s mostly obscured by the blood that covers most of the figure. He has a deep cut in the back of his upper arm, another cutting through the e chest of his tunic, and several on his face, including claw marks over one eye. His sword is held low, pointed towards the bloody ground, and the ornate leaves and vines on it are also obscured with the blood dropping from the blade. In the background is a mountain village in the dusk, with a few flaming torches which reflect off the figure and all the blood.

Been tinkering with this one so long the app kept crashing 😬 So here’s Rhaell & Ember from #ThePromisedQueen, in the secret room of the library, leaning that the history Yskara might not be what they’ve always been told…

Hand drawn illustration of a man and a woman in an ancient-looking library. They are both looking down at a book that appears to be glowing. The woman, on the left, wears a corset and sleeveless chemise. Her hair is collar length and brown, and she has a glowing purple jewel around her neck. The man, on the right, wears armour, the scales of which are shaped like green leaves. His arms are bare and very muscular, with a few scars, and his hair is long, black, and partially braided. He is looking at the woman with longing. The scene is lit with a ball of floating light that casts shadows behind them.

Been messing around with this one for weeks, so before I mess it up any more—here’s Rhaell and Ember sleeping in the cave after the encounter with Mnorir. What d’you reck?

Hand drawn by me in Procreate from a base image created by me in Daz Studio #NoAI #noAIArt #ThePromisedQueen #ProcreateArt
Hand drawn illustration of a man and woman sleeping on the ground of a cave. She has dark hair and wears a white short sleeved shirt. Her head rests on her right arm. He lies behind her, his long hair is braided back, and his shirt is quilted at the shoulder. They are partly covered by a green leather cloak. His right arm drapes over her, his hand loosely holding hers. Early morning light streams in from the right hand side of the picture.
