Bears can draw, too

Draw and dooodle and color (or not), all at the same time.

Firbolg lady sketch- a new D&D character! Not that many female firbolg drawings, so this was a lot of improve. Still figuring out the right shades of brown and red.

Sketch of my current D&D character, Yarrow Shump, blacksmith, weapons enthusiast, and aspiring noble. Has horrible aim, but does a ton of damage if her glaive connects. Recently acquired a nice bottle of perfume and fancy clothes.

Final and Process images of this young elf mage student. He’s probably somewhere around 14-16 (but in elf years), and has his little smock and practice staff.

Used a nice bunch of ref. photos. I give my elves wonky limb proportions, I love an ‘alien’ look. 

My process is getting more streamlined, and the line-work didn’t take forever. Also maybe accidentally channeled a certain christian musical.

A leather-armored half-elf bard with a pan flute. Definitely hiding some pointy ears.

Armor designed without direct reference, will get better reference next time.

Maps at different Levels-

“Kingdom Level” - National boundaries, large rivers, roads, dark green forests, and hexes. “Campaign Level” - Contents of one hex, with cities, towns, features, roads, rivers, and tributaries. “City Level” - Interior city detail, with some labeled streets, shops, and destinations.

Different styles/methods used in each. In the Campaign Map I used a pre-made map brush set, which looks good but I don’t think the terrain is as clear as I’d like it to be. I like the black and white of the City Map, but it doesn’t quite fit with the others. At some point I would like to redo the first map with a style similar to these: (1) (2) (3).
