Dwarf in Bronze and Blue

Trying a handful of different things with this one.

I wanted to try to draw a fantasy dwarf without the usual visual identity I give them, hence no shoes or arm coverings. Just a large metal chain vest and a bucket-helm, both made of bronze instead of iron. Also a gray-blue skin as I think it'd be neat if dwarfs had their own unique skin colours often effected by nearby metals (as silver poisoning can make your skin turn this colour)

Also wanted to give the off-aligned colour thing that you often see in screen printing a try.

When the servers you paid for hosted on your switch that you paid for using internet you paid for playing the game you paid for have connection issues all the damn time so you can't play.

"Knowledge is Power"

Waaaaay back in the Horse Days I made a series of MLP themed posters where the main idea was to not actually show the horses at all -try to keep it a little vague, but still use all their colours and symbols.

I think it came from the idea that some people would like to show their fandom of MLP without the obvious and implicit ponys in it for one reason or another, ergo the posters.

This one is Twilight Sparkle; who should of stayed a unicorn dammit.

Thanks for replying! I've always loved the way you can include so much personality and story into a single character image, it reminds me of the best examples in RPG books where they want to depict a character concept or a monster and they just nail it.

Yo! Whats one thing you love drawing and find hard to do, and one thing you hate drawing but can do easily?

Really great question!

I love designing characters and I never get tired of doing it, but it also never really gets easier. I agonize over every little detail, drawing and re-drawing things over and over and pulling up tons of reference images. A fully-inked and colored character usually takes me a whole workday. I'm generally pretty happy with the finished results but I never seem to get any quicker at it haha.

I don't know if there's anything I'm good at drawing that I also hate to draw. I find the act of drawing pleasurable in and of itself. I sometimes find it frustrating when I'm commissioned to do "generic" fantasy or sci-fi illustrations. Like something that's just a "knight" or just a "spaceman" and the client really doesn't want me to riff on the design. I chafe under those kinds of restraints. Not gonna post any example pics because I don't want to offend anyone but it happens lol. Most of my clients are great though and give me a pretty free rein!

Hope this answers your question. If you've got any other questions about art or how I draw or whatever, just send them my way!

Grim Squeaker

A heavily Discworld inspired commision made for my good buddy, Grimrat!

I'm still rather chuffed with this one despite it being a year or so old now, and its interesting for how the lineart was pencil and ink scanned in, and the paint was digital.

Someone put the feeling into words!

I can remember playing very early beta/late alpha minecraft. The one where you spawned in a simple wooden house and had to kill sheep to get their wool.

It had such a weird ethereal feel to the gameplay, and now that it’s more of a normal “game” with an end that you can work towards it’s more and more divorced from the feel of it’s original soundtrack.

Also Notch is a cunt, but that goes without saying.

the minecraft nostalgia phenomenon is so odd. like so many people my age have formative memories of being thrown into an oddly empty world for an unfinished game & hearing the occasional ambient piece that was equal parts dinky and profoundly morose. like our mario 1-1 theme is c418 sweden

Fried Tofu Goblin

Let the world know, husban (@xx-k1tsun3-k1d-xx) is a fiend for fried tofu.

My favourite thing about living on shitty Terf Island (tm) is all the shitty old men who look like boiled thumbs and throw their shitty beer cans everywhere every match day.

Smallfry is always a good time to doodle. Smallest possible boy.
