The First Traditional Watercolour I've Done In A Very Long Time, And Probably The Best One I've Done

Been playing a lot of Baldurs Gate 3, and loving it ... but as per usual I can never be normal and I keep wanting to make/be characters that are just straight up impossible.

Might make proper art of these guys later at some point, but for now I've just got these phone sketches. Enjoy the concepts at your leasure.

A very rough phone sketch, for the purpose of character design.

Original watercolour painting, to get me back in the mood for making things again.

Listening to playlists, turning off the brain, and seeing where it goes on its own. I’d say it’s not too bad

It’s not as perfect as it could be but I wanted this done already, and the lighting was annoying me. The first is a see-through one just for the fun of it, the second is the finished art.

A whole bunch of perspective work and unbroken-line-with-fineliner practice from my attendance at TAFE. Suffice to say, given the limitations and how much my arm hurt, I'd much rather charcoal than unbroken-line.

I need to remember I can advertise them on here, but I just finished a stream, and had fun making some fashion for N Harmonia! I plan to do more (No old man will be safe) Posted 8th September, 2024

It's Disability Pride Month, and I'm starting it off by doing some acknowledgement via Vent Art. Whilst the blue from the four-eyes was an easy allegory for my extreme nearsightedness, I also wanted to do a bit of an experiment with how I did this, to help acknowledge my own chronic pain.

The initial sketch stage of the gold cracks where drawn using places I was actively in pain for the 10 or so minutes I was drawing everything else and cooking. Each of the red-orange lines after are places I was in pain during the lineart section after. Neither of which included time not explicitly drawing. I was also going to include something about how I need a cane to walk, but I wasn't sure how to express that well using this character, or this exercise. Either way, it felt quite cathartic to just admit and acknowledge that yes - I am actually disabled, and I do experience these things. Posted 2nd July, 2024
