Keeper Portrait

A bit of Thief, The Dark Project fan art. Hopefully the upcoming 4th game will be a return to form.

Pirate Vendetta

Pirate Quickie

I think this has some potential so I might take it further, but for now it can lounge in my sketch folder while I head down to the pub for some bank holiday brews. It seems people have a habit of coming back from the dead today, so a stiff drink is in order!

Edit: I just noticed that the "quote of the day" is by Daniel Defoe, which seems rather fitting for the pirate theme. :)

Silver

Sirrus Portrait

I've been trying to replay Myst IV on my current Vista setup but ran into compatability difficulties after a few hours, so I decided to indulge in a bit of fan art instead. A guilty pleasure? Maybe. >_<

Bad Guy

Quick warm up speedpaint...

Warrior Pilgrim

I never seem to tire of sketching and painting rock formations. I'm sure it has something to do with fond childhood memories of clambering up any available surface. They also seem to suit my terrible scribbling tendency.

Tentacles

Great character... shame about the film.

FFVII: MP

I booted up Final Fantasy VII (again) last week as I was feeling rather ill, and needed a familiar comfort zone to take my mind off the amorphous mass of thick, heavy snot that seemed to be in a constant state of mutation inside my head. It's rather amusing to look back on the times in my life when I thaught I had the flu. Now that I have actually had a good solid dose of the real mccoy (including the inability to walk properly for a few days) I see the error in my judgement. The distinction between a bad cold and a case of flu couldn't be clearer.

Cold = poor mans influenza

Anyway, playing FFVII again gave me the incentive to do a spot of fan art - complete with bad shoulderpad placement to throw the anatomy way off. Hey, I was ill damnit!

'To Do' Lists

My recent spate of Dragonlance sketches turned out to be a great way to motivate me (now that I have more free time) into going down my 'to do' list and getting things done and ticked off. I finally got off my arse and finished an illustration I posted as a speedpaint many months ago, and have been trying to convince myself that the finished painting is an improvement. I'm not doing a very good job of it.

Anyway, no time to dwell as I still have 3 more to finish.

Sketch-dump

More characters from the book I'm reading. I did want to do a sketch of every character or creature mentioned, but at the moment the dragon count is around 20 so I think I'll just stick to the main ones.
