Dylyn (circa 1795)

I'm a little sad that we did not get Swampstat (I also really wanted to see our favourite hoe burn) but it has still been absolutely amazing so far. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing Dumpstat.

With Vizzini I was trying to combine the feeling of baby angels from old renaissance paintings, sinister-ish expressions, and ringmaster, plus dash of gaudiness. I made Vizzini prominently red so that there would be a transfer of association from Vizzini in the first half to Humperdinck in the latter half. The colour red and the pawns on his design apart from being on theme for his character can also serve as foreshadowing, that he is not the overarching antagonist.

Sometimes due to Fezzik’s backstory of working in Greenland, people mistake him for being Greenlandic but it was clearly stated that Fezzik is a Turkish wrestler. It was important that his design made it very clear that he was not European. In the books, he is described as hairy, large, and gorilla-like in appearance. By dividing his head into three sections (upper head, cheeks, and mouth-chin) keeping the graphic shape of his head across different angles was made easier. To determine the direction of Fezzik’s overall design the emphasis was established (his arms), inspiration was taken from circus strongmen, then combined with a strong but soft and lovable feeling.

The general direction of Inigo’s features was clear early on, but his head shape did undergo many iterations. His final head shape design has a clear and readable graphic iconography even in different angles. Its iconic integrity is easily maintained but can be difficult to draw, because of that a diagram was made to show how the structure of his head.

It was important to make sure Inigo and the man in black's silhouettes were distinguishable from one another. So I tried to pull their designs in opposite directions. Inigo's leaning towards a more slender swish-flick feel and the man in black's to a larger, billowy, and intimidating direction.

Sketches from Aventine, a gig I went to with some friends a few weeks ago. It was really fun.

Logan was supposed to be just a single character exercise (he isn't even supposed to be the main character) but ideas came and now there are a few other characters in my head related to him... so here is Logan so far, before what is probably going to be a new direction.

A sketch of a possible design for the Crown Princess for my current project, George.

A mini project I did based on a wedding I attended in a dream 😁

The Knight’s final design is a combination of the two versions I uploaded 😊 

Although I’m not very satisfied with how I painted the illustration, I learned a lot and the app werble is pretty awesome.

Unfinished Portrait of Nikolai II

Nikolai II's abdication from the throne took place one day after his coronation as Emperor in the 18th century.  Due to his abdication to give way to his elder sister, Empress Natasha the Great, Nikolai’s portrait as the fifth Emperor of the Tvardovsky Dynasty was never completed.

Please note that this is an original character. My character Nikolai Tvardovsky is in no way related to Russia’s Nikolai II. Any direct resemblance to real life people are coincidental.

Henrik. Before the war.

Before the war (p2), During the War, After the War

I know I’m late, but despite being a long time fire emblem fan, I only got a switch recently 😬 so here’s an oc for three houses 😁 He’s Hilda and Holst’s brother.

Proficiency in Swords and Reason. Hidden talent in Authority. (Yes, I know mortal Savant is a crap class and that Hero is nerfed in this game, but Hero has always been one of my favourite classes in fire emblem and it just makes sense personality-wise for him to also be good with reason)

If Hilda doesn’t want to try bec of how awesome Holst is (he’s so freaking cool) and she is avoiding expectations, Henrik decided to deal with their amazing brother’s reputation affecting them by creating different expectations for himself by pursuing different things. (Swords instead of axes, a diplomatic approach instead of being a general. Too bad a war breaks out). Henrik really believes in Claude’s vision because he wants the battles at Fodlan’s locket to end so that Holst doesn’t have to fight all the time. He is close with his sister and is very good friends with Claude (and definitely wants him as a brother-in-law 😉)
