I’d Been Procrastinating Drawing Jaime In Kingsguard Armor Bc I Was Loathing Figuring Out How I Was

hello!!! first of all i absolutely adore your art, i kinda use it to motivate me to draw 😅😅 i wanted to ask you if you’d want to draw hotd and the x files characters in the future!! have an amazing day

hello! I'm glad to hear!! that's very kind :)

I haven't seen the X-files, so unless something possesses me to watch it someday, probably not.

Unfortunately, same with HOTD. I only watched season 1, but from what I've seen I'm not that interested in watching season 2. If I ever did fanart, it would probably be of the book versions. I like depictions of book rhaenyra

I’m extremely normal about the fishing game 👍

Hi! I really love your art and I'm getting into doing digital painting myself now. If it's not too much of a bother could you share some tips on your process, and what program + brushes you use? <3

thank you!! I would say my process is not that out of the ordinary but I’m happy to share :)

for the first sketch, I start REALLY loose. comically loose. this pass is just to get the general vibe and composition of the sketch. (going to be using jojen and meera as an example bc this file still has all parts of the process in tact).

then I start pulling LOTS of references and working from them. I start trying to get shapes down accurately enough that I have a solid base to work off. then I can clean them up for the final lines

the only part of my process that I think differs from most is that I’m really terrible with color, so one thing that I learned helps me is to do color comps. i’ll duplicate my line art and then shrink it down until it’s small enough that I can’t focus on details or precision too much and then try and work out color palettes. sometimes the first one works, and sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 recolors, but better for me to do these quick versions than go in blind and hate it at the end. (I unfortunately don’t usually save the ones I don’t use. I wish I could share some options I didn’t go with!) Then I can use my comp as a reference and it’s just a matter of getting the colors in cleanly!

As for programs, I use procreate on an ipad, but for years I used a $60 wacom tablet and clip studio paint that I got on sale. I really think it’s less about the program and more about what’s intuitive for the individual. unless someone tells you to use photoshop. that’s the devil speaking.

lastly here’s some brushes I use! the basics are both default brushes on procreate (maybe slightly altered, but not by much). I make my canvases on the smaller side to get the rough pixelated look from my sketch brush. for patterns, I pull from old illustrations or fabric! a lot of mine came from ivan biliban or similar illustrators. the stamp brushes are super easy to make and really make clothing look lovely imo :) pattern brushes are a little harder but they’re doable with tutorial help

I hope that helps!!

your art is so gorgeous!!

thank u!!! :)

your art has such a homey feel to it. idk how to explain it but it feels like eating warm chocolate chip cookies or dipping grilled cheese in tomato soup or coming home from school and taking a nap on a rainy friday? i don’t know how to articulate it but it feels warm and welcoming. i love it sm

wahhh thank you!!! this is very very sweet and I appreciate it sm

love your little arya with her fists clenched!!

thank you!! I would love to draw arya again bc I had so much fun w her the first time. currently re-listening to adwd between other books though so not much arya to be found 😔

some wildlings (including mance for an anon a while ago!) + jon

Jon Snow with the letter from Ramsay. This was the second half of a commission, done to match Dany!

thank you sm!!!! this is so kind <333
