An ACEO of Eld. The usual suspects of ink, gold iridescent watercolour, and ol’ B29.
I wanted to try them out, but so far I’m not terribly keen on Strathmore’s bamboo cards for inking. It might be different with a regular pen or brush versus a nib, though, so I’ll have to test that out. I was afraid too much ink might make the card buckle, but it evened out when dry, so they can handle some wet media. One will be a guinea pig with watercolour to see how it takes that, too.
An ACEO commission of the lovely Leigh’s original character, Clorin, who features in her webcomic. As is the usual case, it looks better in person and not so yellow. Natural media stumps me in capturing it correctly on the digital side of things. = w=

Some ACEO wips still lying around. I messed up the one of Gan-ril in the top left, though, so that’s residing in some garbage truck’s bowels. :D
I will apologize to those with brighter monitors, for these won’t show up so well.
It’s really weird sketching Rajshri smiling, because she’s just a character who doesn’t genuinely smile a lot. This image technically has story spoilers, but only I know this, so it doesn’t really count, right? Right.
A spot illustration experiment that features Taika’s otter spirit. The otters of Avonte have longer hair than the usual river otter, because it is typically freezing. Or, at least, this is what I tell myself!
I kinda like how the blue box and border aren’t perfectly straight, but that might just be me.

Still without reliable internet, so I apologize for the sparse updates right now. :<

Second go at inking with the G-nib. I’m afraid I am having too much fun with it. Next test is to try it with sumi ink, and see if it can hold up to Copics/watercolours.
Not happy with certain parts, but it was nice to do a ballpoint drawing. The scan messed up the colours; I’ll replace this with a better photo when there’s sun out.
A friendly reminder that the Help_Japan auctions run to the 31st! There’s a lot of yummy things and pretty art up for donations. My auction is here.
ACEO of Narantya, or the fuzzy-headed mir (don’t call her that to her face, though, unless you really like hospitals).
I’m almost done with the other; that will probably be in time to post a reminder for everyone’s help_japan auctions. :>
