The Dead Always Linger Here

the personal journal of forbiss; this blog includes personal artwork and writing as well as the cataloging of thoughts, expressions, and pictures which attribute to my mind and let it expand to the vast reaches of unknown territory. I have a fondness for mountains, Middle Earth, Dragon Age (Alistar, Cullen, and Qunari fan), Mass Effect, and quotes from most mediums. I hunger for knowledge - I seek the truth.

New Art Blog--New Me.

I am moving my artwork alone to a new tumblr account here. Only my artwork will be featured. Under this account I will also be uploading secondary blogs for my writing, etc. I didn't like how muddled and ridiculous my blog had become. It didn't give my art room to breathe so I am posting work I like, sketches or otherwise. If you want to follow my art alone, if you have questions you've always wanted to ask me but didn't know how (art or personal related), then hit up this new tumblr! I will keep it actively updated and healthy. Plus now that I have created a whole new account--I don't have to deal with ungodly drama from random old tumblrs I followed! Yay! I will follow blogs I find relevant for that account and its settings.

This is a chance to have a clean slate and to prove to myself that my art is worth something, even if it is only to me. I have problems with self-confidence in my skill and I don’t want that anymore. I want to be confident in me and my style; if no one follows it then so be it because you know what--I follow it, I post to it, and I care. And when you live in a world that is always pushing you down, I think it is time I take a stand for myself: and push back.

This was my spread featured in Amrâlimê, The Hobbit Fanart Anthology. I liked the idea of Bard and Thranduil grieving their wives differently and how that changed their family dynamic. Where the Bardlings grew close to their dad, Legolas grew distant to his father and king. *thumbs*

But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund’s daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.

Please read this journal entry to read up on the reason for commissions! Basically, I need money to help pay bills and loans. Commissions would be lovely. All works above are example but are centered to try and reflect the content you will get with purchase made (I ran out of room for more examples so do not think this is all you would get if you commissioned me for a certain price range). I am willing to negotiate some higher prices. If there is a sketch from my gallery you like and would want your character in a similar style/detail then I can tell you how much it would be for it. I don't really draw more than one character in a setting but if you do wish for more than one character then it will be a bigger price range. Yupo paint commissions are available but are more expensive but these can be shipped to you for an extra fee (not much I promise)! c: I use Paypal. Please contact me through either DA's noting system or at the email [email protected].

Help Needed (Please Read)

Greetings All, I am desperately in need of money at the moment thanks to a fruitless search in trying to get a job currently (it is pretty much in limbo right now). Thus, I am wondering in the interest of people commissioning me for sketches and more detailed pieces? I would also love to ask for advice from experienced commissioners in how to start with basic pricing and how to work in getting money sent through my Paypal (I am a noob at this so please bear with me). I will be sure to make sketch portrait commissions cheaper and more affordable since at the moment that might be all I can offer until I get access to bigger scanners. I will be opening up the option of maybe a traditional painting on Yupo paper (which would be similar to what I have hanging on my wall in my last journal; but can be seen specifically here at my photobucket; more detailed shots can be taken of them). I really need the money and the help since I am currently a poor-woman! But I don't want to open up commissions if I have little interest in it. Thank you kindly everyone for reading this! I wish you all a very fond afternoon, bon

Reblog if you love your OCs or other people's OCs no matter how cliche they are

Whether it’s through a tragic backstory or trope characteristics, OCs are an expansion of a person’s soul, and they’re allowed to express themselves

Too lazy to edit this and publish it to DA so here is what Aphrodite looks like in my Greek gods story! c: I’ll try and do a clean sketch of her some day but I just wanted to draw her hair honestly...

I cracked my graveyards wide open and told her the truth, that we always comfort people with the words we would want to hear, that you can hear someone’s heart breaking from giving others advice they are too afraid to listen to themselves, that we are each broken in our own way, and that we are puddles pretending to be lakes — rain clouds wishing we held something more.
