“Shoal Runner” - illustration for John Leising’s Shoal Runner prestige class featured in issue 8 of Wayfinder magazine. I figured that a ratfolk made perfect sense for a ship-wrecked scavenger! Check out my previous post for a bit of info about Wayfinder magazine!

“The Ruby Prince Gardens of Totra” - illustration for Jeffrey Tadlock’s article about the people and places of Totra for issue 8 of Wayfinder magazine. I chose to show the halfling wizard and resident gardener Irvant Williams tending to his duties. Wayfinder is a great publication by Paizo Fans United and the dedication from everyone involved that goes into making each issue is admirable. You can check out this, and back issues, of Wayfinder here.

“Markessa” So, Wizards of the Coast are re-releasing the classic Dungeons & Dragons campaign Against the Slavelords. They’re also having a competition for fans to have their artwork included in the publications. I chose Markessa from the second part of the adventure (Secret of the Slavers Stockade) because I love how ghoulish and twisted she is and I always loved the vivid description of her laboratory lair which I hope I’ve done justice to. I’m a big Greyhawk and old school D&D fan and I’d be over the moon if I managed to get some of my artwork in a Greyhawk publication. So if you have a moment please vote for my submission here ! Either way there are some great pieces of art already submitted

Okay so here is the ink version of the “Elspeth Grey” pencil sketch I posted the other day. I’m not sure how I feel about the lantern glow yet but so far the feedback on my fb page has been favourable which is always good! (P.S. Just want to repeat the disclaimer on the last sketch that although this character is of my take on a kind of Pathfinder archivist it’s a personal piece and not a Paizo commission!)

“Elspeth Grey” - Pathfinder Archivist (in the field) This is a personal piece and not a Paizo commission unfortunately! The character is based on one of my favourite film characters, a gold star if you can guess who! This one is done in pencil but I’ll also be doing an inked version to see which I like the most stylistically but I thought that seeing as I hadn’t posted in a while I should put something on here.

Finally … the finished colour pieces, I hope the client likes them!

Rather than start the colour on the Rapunzel piece I decided to do the line work for the second part of the commission, this time it’s Sleeping Beauty also featuring the client’s family dog again! I’ve never actually met the two girls the portraits are of, I’ve only seen photos so I’m hoping the drawings actually look like them. Next stage - the colour! Oh and once again, apologies for the image quality, it’s another photo rather than scan.

Okay so I haven’t posted anything in a while for various reasons, one of which is that I’ve been working on a fuller piece. It’s been fun, part one of a commission I’m doing; two portraits of sisters, one as Rapunzel and the other as Sleeping Beauty, both also starring the family dog! Thought I’d post the ink-work that I’ve just finished. Next step is the watercolour. I hate doing colour studies but i think this one will need them and I need to resolve what to do with the open space behind the figures… oh and please excuse the image quality - I don’t have an A3 scanner so I had to take a (apparently wonky) photo of it.
