#brookriver art #darik and caira #it darik #it caira #and another guy primarily #it faust #i have an extended version without the fade to black and maybe someday if the internet stops trying to strangle us all y'all will see it #“so he was that good huh?” caira asks over breakfast while darik tries to articulate the empty feeling he's experiencing #original character #oc #long reads #original comic #altimara #drowning #deep water

The Princess and the Jester by @modmad

#i've appreciated this story for a long while now for reasons my brain is too fried to list #so i just wanted to show some of that outside of my own head #and uh. uh. capture a fragment of calm. within a stormy sea.#the princess and the jester #fanart #brookriver art

#darik and caira #brookriver art #it darik #doodle #easing myself into traditional art again #i am so lost about how to use pens though I need to study

study of a photo i took of the edge of a lake a decade ago

notes: wet part of the gravel is too dark. feel like i skimped out on the details near the edges of the canvas. noise is really hard to simplify! cut it at about an hour since i was mostly just painting this to clear my head anyways

i probably need to do some master copies at this point; i'm hitting the edge of what I can figure out on my own. feeling pretty good about this, though! making a more concerted effort this year to fill up my brain with things so that I can draw from imagination more readily

#brookriver art #photo study #wow i'm posting a lot today! hopefully one day in the future that won't be a bad sign #video
