Sketchavember - Day 8

Sketchavember - Day 8

It's Shasta! I've been painting new postcards and naturally I included one of him, even though he's consistently the worst seller, because I love him and I'm going to keep drawing him until someone else does too, dammit.

Also, theme applied! All further Sketchavember pictures will be fantasy-themed (as opposed to sci-fi, horror etc.) supernatural themes may or may not count, I haven't decided. Expect fairies.

Sketchavember - Day 4

I was tired and ill yesterday, so I just doodled up whatever came into my head and boom! Sweetpea.

His ears are getting dry and will fall off soon. (Although I can't find any oaks near where I live so I'm not sure when they'll drop their leaves this year.)

Inktober - Day 26

More wonky anatomy, oh dear. This is what happens when I draw late at night.

Since you can sometimes see them a little bit in 3-quarter angle pictures, I wanted to show what the ritual modifications the Vrega get look like. Almost all Vrega are subjected to this when they come of age, as part of their Trial. Technically the spikes can be placed anywhere, as long as they're worked into the bone, but these placements are traditional. After their Trial women are usually taught how to fight using their new arm-spikes. Men just have to get used to not being able to sleep on their backs.

Sketchavember - Day 1

Inktober is over, but Sketchavember follows right after! I already try to fill a sketchbook page every day, so I'm aiming to make sure every picture is something I'm happy to put online rather than a quick doodle only I will see.

Larkspur is an elf who lives in a marsh. Sympathy with their environment has turned all her people a muddy grey colour, and they look quite ill. They're happy there, though.

Inktober - Day 27

One more before I go to bed. 

One of the features Vrega don't share with humans is Ereth lines. 'Ereth' is an old Vrega word for fertility, and Ereth lines are loosely a kind of minor erogenous zone that appear when they're touched in the right way, and supposedly improve fertility. Meruch's come up very dark and are unusually extensive which should mean he's very fertile. 

He's embarrassed by how dark they are and doesn't really like people seeing them.

Sketchavember - Day 3

I decided to try drawing the mirror twins in my normal style. They seemed to come out okay.
