Ninavel the Ever Radiant

Ninavel the Ever Radiant, 2016, Pencil, ink & Photoshop

Ninavel is one of the major npcs of a campaign of Storium I’ve been running for a few years and occasionally mentioned here too. Eternally benevolent, immensely powerful and shrouded in mystery they seemingly run a secret society bent on regaining old secrets, studying the mysteries of the chaotically multi-dimensional world that is their setting; and having rad parties.

 This thing is huge and I’m still not sure I did all that is Ninavel justice… This picture also forms a diptych together with Laughter, even if they are creatures of different worlds… Maybe. 

Anyway, here's a few close ups too since the original is so damnably big!

 I’ve planned a sibling set of diptychs for these feathery ones, but we shall see when and if I have time to get those done.

Inktober Liehu!

We had a game last Sunday so have an inktobery Liehu with his valiant lynx Kille, and with loyal Aya and the kittens to the side <3 Liehu is a tiny elf and Kille is about as big as lynxes can get, which hopefully explains the lack of size difference.
Kille is supposed to be an approximation of an Iberian lynx, they are epic; and very endangered :’< You can read more about the for example here!

The evolution of the glove

This week I haven't had that much luck with my inktobers, I've doodled, but nothing is satisfactory; luckily there are other things on my agenda, too! Like the progress of this mystical glove I've been slowly working on:

Soo, hopefully very soon, I can finally reveal this baby in all their magnificent glory! I've tried my utmost to keep all of the picture as glimmery as this glove; the glove of gloves!

ps. I hope everyone remembers Taidekuja, that I'm arranging? Time is drawing near, and soon we will start to unveil our sellers and programkeepers; follow us on facebook for example to keep yourself in the know~ 

Inktober vol. 2

 I've seemingly settled on a leisurely one picture per week pace with my inktoberings this year. My weekly seminar lecture seems to help, as it has been somewhat useless so far (for me personally that is). So I doodled another character from that graphic novel project I told about in last week's inktober.

And a closeup of the baby~ 

Let's see if I get something done of Liehu for next week, last time we played I tried and failed to do a proper picture of him and his cats. So hard to draw, that one is...

Inktober

I don't have too high hopes on my participation this year, there's just too much things on my agenda. I am drawing, even more than usually, but as I said earlier everything is still a bit secretive.
 You might get some sneak peeks soonish, but now we shall settle on this sketch I did during a very useless lecture  had to attend. It is a character study for a comic project that I have been mulling over for so very, very long. Not the bigbig one, this is a smaller project, one I'd like to do just to get my comic-drawing groove on~

Wish me luck!

Sneaky peeky & Lindel Mohan

As I mentioned earlier, my autumn and the works I am crrently busy on are such that I cannot reveal them just yet. Some take more and some take a little less time, but I am sitting on some nice stuff at the moment... Thus, I have become impatient and will share an ultra sneaky sneak peek of one of the things I'm working on:

teehee!

We've also recently started playing our oldish DnD campaing more regularly, and have been sketching my character the elven sorcerer/druid by the name Lindel Mohan more and more as we play. He is about as cute as a young elf can get, making him a really elusive character for me to capture. These are just some attempts! The cat is his familiar Aya, and nowadays he has some druidic companions too, in the form of a lynx and two kittens; named Kille, Shai & Aurinko respectively.

If Liehu survives you'll see more of him!

Mizane the Librarian

I was casually flipping through and old sketch book and stumbled upon this old sketch, then realising I had never properly scanned and posted it anywhere! So I did, and in the process added some colour to the background which I found to be just a tad too bland for my tastes.

 The magnificent beast in question is Mizane, the offspring of a star crossed romance between a cat who fell in love with an elf. The parents were very happy for a time, but poor Mizane was bullied and hated all over elfdom for his mixed heritage. But with unwavering determination he overcame all who tried to hurt him and became a venerated librarian, finally rising to a position of head librarian in a small, remote side library full of old and valuable tomes.
 He is also just about as outrageous as is his sense of fashion. Truly a wonderful piece of booty! I hope I'll one day be able to do a little comic about him!

ps. I also added it to my Redbubble, since don't we all need a bunch of stuff with cat-elf stripper-librarians on them?
