May I offer you all a low-res wip in these trying times?

#wip #art #digital art #mermaid #work in progress #fantasy #fantasy art #creature #I know it’s still April but does this count as an early Mermay? #I’m hoping to have this done by then so I can share the full piece! #still got a lot to do tho especially for the bg #I also need to find a good ref for collarbones cuz if y’all couldn’t tell I have no idea what I’m doing there lol #been avoiding that in favor of doing the hair and tail #anyway #I’ve been working on a lot of little things! including some cr fanart #I hope may is my art month

Luz in the shadows cont.

#reblop #dnd #Luz #fantasy art #illustration #pathfinder #apparently I accidentally posted this with the maturity label on it oops #should be gone now but I’m not sure if reblogs will update to reflect that

Per my rambling tags about not being sure if I liked Luz’s cape like this:

The highest form of compliment I can receive on my art thank you

Thank you! (Before people get too impressed I was sketching with reference. But I pulled the perspective out of my butt so it’s probably not as accurate as it could be.) Luz is my edgy little PF character so I like the idea of them just being that slick XD It’s also funny because the character I based Luz on was a different oc that was colorblind. At one point in this oc’s journey she got a cloak of the mountebank but couldn’t tell that it was bright red so everyone else in the party was like “whoa you know that’s totally not your all-black vibe right?” So she spent a month leaving it at a store to be dyed black because she doesn’t know color theory. If it’s not black then it surely makes her look foolish! (Even tho I thought it was kinda cool lol).

I think it’s funny that Luz as her reincarnate finally got the red cape, this time entirely within their choice.

Thank you! I live for these kind of art analyses on my work :D I do like the red here. If I were to finish it I’d probably compliment it with some hints of blue atmosphere but we’ll see. And yea the paleness really ups the contrast. Thats a signature part of their character so I’m a little reluctant to change it, it’s why I keep going back and forth with the clothes instead XD Thank you for being a continual enjoyer of my art!

Best advice so far. 1.5 goth vampires wasn’t enough I must not stop until I have a hoard of them sitting in a closet and being all gloomy and sad.

It’s been a while since I shared anything sorry guys! Have this messy sketch I kind of like

#canary talks #I like mass responding to tags sometimes but I’m never sure if I should @ the people who wrote them #like what’s the proper tumblr ​etiquette here? #feel free to let me know anonymously or not if you think i should tag people when I do this #on one hand if you don’t care then being tagged is probably annoying especially if it brings unwanted traffic and comments to the person #on the other hand it almost feels like stealing content even tho these are comments left in my own public post that anyone could read

#art #digital art #illustration #wip #dnd #pathfinder #dungeons and dragons #fetchling #magus #luz #I’m still not sure I’m giving luz the red cape but it was a fun element to throw in this sketch #I’ve always loved the look of capes with bright inner linings so I’m looking for an excuse to design a character w one lol #I’m just not sure if red is the way to go with Luz #their entire outfit is black grey and silver so it would be a nice pop of color #but idk every time I try painting up a red the red just doesn’t look like it belongs #I like muting it to brown but who makes a two colored cape with just black and brown?? #maybe I should make the inside silver #that could be cool #or to lighten their outfit the outside could be silver t and the inside could be black #but that’s def not practical for a character that uses the shadows to their advantage #imagine trying to sneak in the dark but your cape catches every speck of light like a beacon #ah well I’ll figure it out #if you’ve read all these tags feel free to leave tags with your own thoughts. or a comment too!

Wanted to share a series I’ve been working on, even if it’s a bit early in the season. I decided to illustrate the ghosts of Christmas! From top to bottom we have past, present, and future

And so begins my mad dash to make fanart between classes!

#reblogging because my fav is reevant and making great bad decisions

[canarydraws]

Wip of a costume breakdown I’m making for my fetchling magus, Luz! This is the base clothes layer that goes beneath the padding and armor

#art #digital art #pathfinder #fetchling #magus #dnd #luz #this is the first time I got to draw luz’s face without them wearing their hood and mask #so that’s nice #I had fun designing their features #lately I have been leaning towards very bold faces #in the past I liked drawing sleak and thin faces more but I feel like you have more opportunity to add character with these faces #there’s more complexity in the cheek bones y’know? #anyway yea luz is yet another character suffering from the resting bitch face syndrome #with the hood and mask they strike and intimidating figure

Portrait 7/7 ~2.2hrs

Final portrait study is my favorite girl Karlach!

#art #digital art #Karlach #bg3 fanart #bg3 #teifling #portrait study #I kept forgetting to post this but I did this last week with my other studies #wanted to end on something fun but I would not recommend trying to study someone made out of game graphics #the hair skin and eyes are all a bit off #def not good for textures and lighting is kinda flat #I mostly did this for design and practice fast and cheap rendering #and for the funzies of course #love Karlach
