Just a lil oil painting practice featuring some character designs I have in mind for Elias Bouchard from The Magnus Archives.
Definitely going to make more art with this character design 👀

There's something about flying late at night that's always surreal. You see the sun and the moon and the clouds differently when you're that high up — even more differently when you're tired and dozing in and out of consciousness so often that you can't tell what's real anymore. I never sleep properly in public places, including planes, so I end up floating between awake and asleep, where my imagination gets away from me. This was one of those times. It was peaceful, but I could tell something was wrong.
This is a 6"x9" gouache and watercolor piece on Legion Stonehenge Aqua Coldpress paper in black. The original will be for sale in my Kofi shop for $115, and prints will be available in my Inprnt.
As always, my patrons get to claim pieces they want before they are listed to the public. If you’re interested in seeing behind the scenes progress pictures, getting access to my new work a week early, or are interested in getting to claim new art pieces before everyone else consider becoming a patron by searching TundraKatieBean on Patreon or following the link in my biolink!

Sophia - Lies of P
I recently had the opportunity to play Lies of P.
I know that this game was released a long time ago, but I recently gave this game a chance and I'm actually quite surprised with its world, its art inspired by the Belle Époque, its mysterious history and the decline of the city of Krat.
This time I made a fanart painted in Gouache of Sophia, an important character who appears in the hotel in Krat.
I really recommend this game.

Art Masterpost: The Beginning
Story by emmbrancsxx0 (@valleydean)
Art by sidewinder (@hawkland)
When I saw an endverse story up for claims in this year's @deancashorrorfest — particularly one exploring the beginnings of how it all came to be — I knew I had to get my grubby, greedy hands on it. When I found out it was written by none other than @valleydean, I may have made some hqppy screeching noises to rival Castiel's true voice. Getting to do art for one of my favorite writers is always exciting, if sometimes anxiety-inducing, but I ended up having an absolute blast working on these with Mallory and am really happy with how they turned out. Thank you for being such an amazing partner to work with, and I'm so excited for everyone else getting to read the story now!
Thank you as well to @kingdumbass for organizing Horrorfest once again, and creating one of my favorite little Destiel communities on the net. It's always a ton of fun and I love how you keep the server going & engaging year round.
Some rambling comments on the art & my process below the cut.
As usual these were all done in watercolor with a little bit of black & white acrylic pen work for fine details and lines. I used rough/cold press paper for all of these to keep a consistent feeling and because it's always my favorite for doing any portraits and where I want a lot of blending control.
The hardest thing for me was deciding which of the many memorable scenes and moments I wanted to illustrate in the time I had available. I had a pretty clear vision for the title art early on: to show Dean & Cas at the beginning of it all, with a collage of elements of destruction behind them and doing the title text in the "Croatoan graffiti" style. There were a bunch of different reference shots combined for that one: screencaps from 5x04, a later-season shot of Dean & Cas walking together to get their positions how I wanted, etc. My Cas "face" reference was actually from Stonehenge Apocalypse as I wanted him looking a little more human/hopeful than standard s4-5 Cas as he's pretty low on grace but still has a little "angel mojo" left.
(As Mallory commented when I shared it as a WIP, "That's a man who's about to be destroyed!" :D D:)
I'm also really glad I was able to get the painting to Mallory at DC-Con! You can see in the pic that it's pretty big (16"x20") to get all that detail in!
For the next piece, there's a small scene of Dean and Cas on the road under smoke-filled skies, past a "God Saves" billboard that just struck me. I'd just driven out to Pittsburgh and back on the PA Turnpike so used some quick reference snaps I took combined with photos of the hazy skies from the Canadian wildfires earlier this year to get the atmosphere I wanted. I tried to keep some of the same washed-out colors and feeling of the title piece for that, save the color of the sky.
For the rest, I wanted to do one piece each of Cas and Dean at critical moments in their journey through the story. Cas facing himself in the shattered glass of a pharmacy cabinet was a moment I knew I had to try to capture. It reminded me of that amazing shot of Misha in Gotham Knights, with Harvey and the smashed mirror, so that was definitely in my mind as a visual reference.
Cas himself is a combination of some Purgatory screencaps and some out-of-character Misha pics from here and there to get his hair the way I wanted it to look (even if I ended up painting over most of it with interference silver watercolor to create the effect of the shattered glass. Here's an in-progress look:
The Dean rooftop piece is one I'd had in my head as soon as I read the passage in the story, but it was the last piece I tackled. The city in flames behind Dean was pretty much done in one shot as a spontaneous wet-in-wet wash...though it was a little eerie and unsettling working on it this past week with current events playing out on the tv while I painted.
Finally, I really wanted to do a piece showing Dean and Cas as they are near the end of the story compared to how they started out. This one came together in a really fast burst of inspiration - I think one day drawing and two days painting because it's smaller than the others (12"x6") and I wanted it to be really close up and intimate.
Drawing:
Poor boys have been through a lot. And it's only going to get worse

Anyway, that's more than enough from me. Have you gone to start reading the story yet? If not, go there now! Bookmark! Read! Leave lots of love in the comments! Reblog and check out the rest of this year's Horrorfest collection while you're there!
