Apologies for my absence, my long distance partner is visiting and personally I am a strong advocate of real life taking priority in things, including spending time with my partner who I get barely any

Quite some time ago, I got really into 'Paladins', a free game that's a lot like Overwatch. Yes people'll call it a cheap knock off, but hey, I'm $60 richer so I don't really care. Point is, I quickly

Art, first and foremost, is a hobby. Yes, work is an important part of it, especially if you're trying to make consistent money from art or work with a company. But art, on a persona level, is a hobby,

I don't watch much anime, but there's a few that I absolutely adore. Mirai Nikki (Future Diary), and Hellsing. While I'd done plenty of pictures of Yuno from Mirai Nikki, I hadn't drawn anything from Hellsing.

With the coming of one of my friends birthdays, I asked what they'd like and to my surprise, they wanted our characters interacting! They play an adaption of 'Bloody Mary', while I play the darkened version

Watching One Punch Man (I highly recommend by the way) and one of my favourite characters is 'Mumen Rider', he doesn't seem to have any superpowers, and just seems to be some ordinary bloke who rides a

Not long after I got into the Rooster Teeth series; RWBY, I grew quickly obsessed with the android; Penny. She had such a delightful and charming personality, and that combined with my love of AI and robots,

One of my favourite characters in the Dragon Age Universe, aside from Zevran Arainai, is Cole. The lonely spirit that's within both Dragon Age Asunder (Novel) and Dragon Age Inqusition. He's such a sweet

There are plenty of scenes in roleplays that I want to visualise with my art. It's not always easy, especially if the moment is only plotted and not written yet. One such scene was Wolve dealing with

Those who follow me may be familiar with the recent piece I uploaded (And my recent, I mean yesterday); Fire and Fear, where I introduced 'Queen', an iteration of Jade. Not long after completely Fire and

One of my favourite iterations of Jade is 'Queen.' An unstable shadowy mess that's consumed almost entirely by fearlings. She's ruled by emotion and the urge to destroy, and very little logic. However,

For my final art project in school, I had one idea in mind. I'd been planning it since my second year in high school. But sadly, my teachers wouldn't let me use my idea. So instead I created a short, almost

One of the pieces I created when I first made Jade, was a picture of her sitting on a throne, shrouded in darkness. I was so proud of how I worked with shadows to drape over her features and make her look

For my Sisters birthday, I wanted to design something in particular. I could see what I wanted in my head but it was a big project and frankly, very intimidating. We both loved Rise of the Guardians and

One great thing about being an artist is learning new things, whether that means perfecting (if perfection is ever an attainable goal) a technique, or finding a tutorial that's just perfect for learning

When I was a younger artist, I thought bigger was better. If a canvas was 40x40cm, it seemed like no matter what I did, I'd have the space to add all the detail I needed to make it a masterpiece. I know

Jack Frost (ROTG), while one of my favourite characters, has always been ridiculously hard for me to draw. But with the new year, I desperately wanted to finish a lot of sketches of Jack I'd abandoned,

My favourite Anime is Mirai Nikki, or 'Future Diary' in english. The premise is a lot like Hunger games, a group of 'chosen' individuals must fight to become lord of time. They each have the use of a 'future

It's no secret that I'm part of a tabletop. It's also one of my favourite subjects to draw! During this tabletop my character got a massive crush on an NPC (non playable character) called Elhora. It was

When I was a young artist, I tended to use bases to help create the image I pictured in my head. There's nothing wrong with using bases as long as you don't claim the base as your own or try to profit
