Glarg Blackhammer and his trusty minion Sprunt

This was a sketch I did a while back that I decided to work up a few days ago. Some stages in the process below:

  • Pencils scanned and positioned
  • Firming up the lines
  • Adding basic shading
  • Some color flats
  • Highlights and a white outline
  • Adding more highs & lows
  • More color and shading
  • Punching up the color
  • The final piece

Been working on some Shadowfell ideas for a game and thought I’d sketch one of these dudes.

Guthbad freebooter and wild warrior woman, Siggrid of the Lucky Thirteen.

This is a sketch of an NPC from one of my 5e games.

Here’s a commission I completed recently for a young druid and her animal companion. I was given a lot of freedom with this one, practically the only notes were that she have a polar bear headdress, the little bear be tiny, and they both be sorta cute and charming.

Initial pencil sketch came together pretty quick.
Laying in some base colors. I also got some reference for the bear cub, and started fixing some proportion issues on Rinko. At this point, I decided I wanted the characters to be lit from behind and to the side, putting them in slight shadow.
Laying down more color and detail, plus some more decisiveness on those mugluks. I repositioned the bear to be slightly in front, but created a bad tangent with the staff, which I fixed in the final.

Going through some sketches and work to anoint my new WordPress blog. This here’s a pencil sketch of some sort of Witcher dude, maybe, inspired by the show which I barely tolerated, then decided I loved.

I thought it was a fun picture, so I brought it home and added to it in Photoshop. Maybe I’ll finish it someday!

Ghob-ling faction

I created some card back designs a long time ago for a game called Armor & Ash. To be honest, I’m not sure what happened to the game: I got hired to create a few card backs, got paid, and never heard anything about the game being launched. Which is a shame, because it had some really great art and seemed like a fun game.

So here are a few preliminary sketches I made when working on the Ghob-ling faction card back. The concept was a twisted, bramble border, very primitive-looking, with a witch-doctor-type mask in the middle.

And here are card backs for the other three factions: Vikings, Elves, and Undead.
