Have You Heard Of The YouTube Channel Alt Shift X? They’re A Video Essay Channel That Mainly Cover

I would destroy to see some standalone art of Jon Snow (if you want)- your art style is so beautiful.

I WILL! >:) I actually already had a wip going but literally just last night I discovered some art of him that was uncannily similar… so I’m scrapping and starting over for the sake of not looking like I copied the other artist </3 but rest assured he will show up eventually

Hi, I found your lovely art via searching for Earthsea content. I adore your representations of Ged and Tenar :) I was wondering if you use any other platforms for posting your art, like Instagram or Cara, etc? I don't use Tumblr enough anymore, but would love to follow your work more consistently elsewhere. Cheers!

hello! I have an ig (same user) but nothing else. I have no desire to make any new accounts on any new platforms so I am just a musician on the titanic until one or both of the sites disappear

My grave cleric Sybille for a campaign I am playing with my friends :)

She’s spent most of her life serving as an anchoress of her faith locked up in a cell contemplating death, but disaster- or divine intervention by her telling- have just set her loose upon the world for the first time in centuries

tommen is going to be FINE. don’t even worry.

are you into any other fandoms, other than asoiaf? Adore your art, would love to see Tom Riddle in your style

you will never get harry potter fanart out of me. please read another book this isn’t your heart

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!!

I just discovered your asoiaf art and I'm crying tears of joy. It's so gorgeous!

thank youuu <3 so glad I picked the series up on a whim because it’s been great for inspiration :)

a commission of shera from @shripscapi who was a JOY to work with!!! LOOK AT HERRRRRR, they captured her haunting essence perfectly.

thank you so much again!!

Your Jon and Dany have such similar expressions I love it so much. Like what if you were a teenager and suffering more that Jesus and you had various magic companions AND you were a part of a prophecy. Like what then. Anyways I love them and your art so much,, <3
