Valuable Things, 2020

“Valuable things are oft heavy. That does not mean they are not worth bearing.” -- Theodore Pentaghast

Realised that I never shared this! A quote from a comic by @eorzean-cabbage that really touched me and my anxiety+depression combo. I asked about Mordred and Theodore’s favourite associated colours and flowers, found cross-stitch patterns, and finally finished this during the early months of lockdown.

This has now been framed and hangs outside my bedroom door so I can see it every day.

Wedding Portrait, 2019

My wedding present to the happy couple. It was very gratifying to return to acrylics and find that I can still paint, six years after the last time I used them for portraits.

Original photo taken by Shutter Bliss Photography, Bristol, UK. The photo was chosen and provided by the bride, and no money was exchanged in the creation of this gift.

Acrylic paint, 18x25cm, approx 9 hours.

Carwyn Liadon, 2018

I totally forgot to post this here! This is Carwyn, the half-elf son of my main DnD character, Llarynna Liadon. He’s my backup character, and a paladin of Lathander. As on the previous picture, I modeled him on The Sims 4, and then I used a reference picture (credit to faestock on deviantART)to help with the cloak and pose, before painting in watercolours.

Caron came to a good start in life when he was born in the temple of Lathander, god of birth and light. His mother did her best to raise Caron properly, and with the aid of many acolytes and priests from the temple that had taken her in, did a fairly good job of it. The solemn manner of the clergy came through more than any mischief from his mother, and he demonstrated a sense and steadiness that both endeared him to and frustrated Rinn. He appeared shy, studious and a little anxious – wide-eyed and always looking for ways to help – but took great, if quiet, joy in light and music and nature and art, and greatly preferred being with people over studying. He is very dutiful, but not necessarily to the law. The path of a paladin seemed a natural extension of this, and when he became a squire to an older paladin he felt at home.

Ten years later, he completed his training, swore the Oath of the Ancients, and chose his adult name: Carwyn. His mother bestowed a Cloak of Elvenkind upon him, as while he would not want to keep to the shadows at all times, there were times when being unseen would save his life. She then left for Silverymoon to pursue her own calling to be a cleric of Tymora, leaving Carwyn in Neverwinter. The two of them correspond when they can, and Carwyn is rather fond and proud of his mother for what she’s doing; he also thinks it’s very funny that she has unwittingly adopted five more boys, after leaving for some freedom.

Carwyn has spent most of the past year serving in and around Neverwinter. He is very much based at the temple of Lathander, and most of his service is in aiding and protecting the poor and vulnerable (another trait he inherited from mum). He has done some adventuring in and around the city when required.

Rowan, 2019

Not my first artwork of the year, but the first I have permission to share. This fellow is Rowan, the character of one of the other players in the game. Going by backstory, he’s the one that my character, Llarynna aka Rinn, has known longest, after she caught him cheating in a game of luck and decided to use her powers as a cleric of Lady Luck to mess with him. The pair ended up travelling together, and are good friends, although she often calls him out when he’s lying.

While this is his true face, it is not the one he often wears. He is not a wizard: he is, in fact, a warlock, who thought he was a sorcerer, and he has been accused of being involved in the murder of his adoptive mother, so he uses a magical disguise. As I understand it, he got caught up in a pact with Asmodeus that his parents made, and was thus unwittingly granted powers. As our campaign progressed, Asmodeus began to communicate with him, and that book is how he can communicate back. Also, his true form has begun to change into that of a chain devil. Thus far, his first intentional pact was to save Larynna’s life when she had been cursed to turn into a hell hound. He asked Tymora/Lady Luck for guidance when faced with a decision between Llarynna and another party member, or his parents’ souls (said parents were planning to kill hundreds of people), and Lady Luck clearly wanted her cleric to keep going. Larynna was less than thrilled to be “indebted” to the Prince of Devils, but had promised to aid Rowan in his quest.

Amaphine ‘Fi’ Fiakiir and Glory, 2018

Pencil drawings of characters for side/minor campaigns of DnD.

Fi is a half-elf bard made for a one-shot that got cancelled who is coming back for a new one-shot. Her face was improvised. 

Glory is an nb tiefling fighter (champion) who got killed at the end of their one-shot in a way that was very satisfying and meant I had a solid excuse not to continue with the campaign. Their face is Kate Winslet’s.

So I heard you like muffins, 2012

A gift for @masakox, whose parts in Naruto: The Abridged Series and Dragon Ball Z Abridged provided a lot of comfort and entertainment during rough parts of my life. I had the chance to meet him at Alcon 2012 and made this, featuring characters he voiced + a character from his own project, as a thank you gift. There was a long and heartfelt message on the back.

~ Kakashi has his milk ~ Goku has learnt how to make muffins ~ Helvidius, a character from Masako's story, is hoping to have a muffin ~ Gohan is attempting to destroy The Log. ~ Sasuke is glaring at Gohan as The Log is Sasuke's mortal enemy ~ Hinata is watching the proceedings

I drew @arthulian his handsome boi, Faolán Lavellan! I missed them both, and since I was sending Arthur a diary I decided to sneak in a surprise drawing. Copied it from a screenshot, made his hair nicer. 90 minutes or so, black Biro.

Ria, 2011

An A4 pencil drawing and an A3 acrylic painting based on the same photo I took of my friend a few years earlier, when I was intending to draw them all as gifts. The pencil version was later given to my friend, once the coursework was returned. She was the first of two Fillipina friends I painted; looking back, it would have been interesting to paint a wider range of ethnicities.

Exploration and Discovery - Painting Study, 2011

One thing I considered doing for my final piece was a simple painting of this ‘fae’ character discovering something, so I did a mock-up. Here, she’s found a stone frog. In the top picture you can see my process for getting the image right.

Eternal Rest, 2012

A sympathy card for an old friend whose wife died.  

Done in watercolours. Image referenced from a photo I took in Bute Park, Cardiff, over the Jubilee Bank Holiday Weekend 2012. I'm not sure what the flowers were, but they were pretty.

Art Trade - Isei and Katana, 2011

My half of an art trade with @rinokumuraegin, I think! Isei (the genetleman) is their character, while Katana belongs to  AquiTsunami (no idea whether they have a tumblr handle).

Drawn and coloured in PSE 5.0, using a Bamboo tablet.
