Roddacember Day 9: Favourite thing about the Roddaverse

For me personally its the dynamics and interpersonal relationships of the characters. It’s always been a standout to me and it feels consistent in quality even with more minor and less developed characters. Anyway have a bit family (?) portrait of some of my favs!

Roddacember Day 12: Moment that absolutely blew your mind

Probably that Marilen is Lief’s heir, tell u what that threw me for a loop. Also i’ve given up on fully catching up lol I’ll just do it when I’m vibing it

Roddacember Day 15: Location

I conveniently drew these in October (?) for landscape practice and who would have known they’d come in handy. On the left is the glen where the lilies of life are and the right is the shifting sands. These were like the early practice for my dragon drawing on Day 4.

struggling with my Roddacember day 14 still because i thought i’d do another animation (even though i was avoiding it because they weren’t showing up when browsing the Roddacember tag, unless that was just me???) so i’m taking a break. landscapes were always going to be a struggle, so i haven’t finished today’s either. 

not v proud of it, but here’s the Doom man

he needed some sleep

Roddacember Day 13, People Group

I just really love Broome, especially its folk. Slightly messy result, but I kinda like it.

Roddacember Day 15, Location

I had this piece laying around unfinished for like, a year, so I thought of using the prompt to push myself to finish it. And here it is! Picturing Lindal fighting against Rolf in Dragon’s Nest.

15 - Location

i’ve been procrastinating this one, because i’m not great at landscapes which was why i made sure there was a prompt in there to challenge me. i ended up playing to my strengths (?) ((what i’m used to?)) instead of reaching out this time, otherwise i’d never get it done and i’m behind as it is. 

i originally intended to do Weld but then i was reading a little Isle of the Dead last night and i was inspired to do a flat-coloured Bone Point!

wasn’t intending to do the scene with Verity on The Lady Luck but it happened, and i’m not really mad. this is sort of half-finished art, but i’m a little proud of how it turned out in the end.

i really like the Verity and Laughing Jack story, so i was excited to so some art for them!

Day 9 of Roddacember! Favorite thing about the Roddaverse

Gotta say, my favorite thing about the Roddaverse are the plot twists. Rodda’s character and world building is off the charts, and because of this, all of her plot twists while often CRAZY AND UNEXPECTED AND MIND BLOWING all make perfect sense once you really think about them. They are SATISFYING in a way that is so rare, especially since so many authors think a good plot twist is the most outlandish thing that can possibly happen, despite no set up. Rodda understands that set up is KEY and she is so, so good at it.

WOW! Sorry I fell behind everybody, but I caught a cold last week, and tonight was the first time since then that I’ve felt well enough to do art. If it’s all the same, I’m gonna just pick up where I left off :)

Day 10 of Roddacember! Something that you remember randomly and that hits you like a stampede of muddlets!

Hey!! Anyone else remember the fact that Manus from Deltora Quest was held captive by Jin and Jod for a good while?? That he was their slave?? And watched several people become their victims??? Cause I do randomly and it DESTROYS ME

Roddacember Days 21 and 24

I'm not even doing Roddacember properly anymore but I had to do these two prompts. For favorite relationship, Lindal and Barda of course, and favorite character, Barda. I love both of them so very much, but because Barda showed up first and for a longer time period, I picked him as a favorite.

Roddacember day 15 - location

Tora

The fantasy obsessed kid in me loves the idea of an entire city magically carved out of a single seamless block of stone. The geologist in me is horrified at the prospect of the entire thing being made out of marble. The duality of man I guess.

Day 11 of Roddacember! Character that you absolutely despise

Man o Man, I was so OUTRAGED at Ri-Nan when he betrayed everyone for his own selfish gain… I mean, that isn’t anything new, but he did it SO BADLY that I wanted to strangle him, like! Really?? This is your strategy?? Beyond happy when Gellick agreed

Happy new year everybody! All those in Australia, stay safe

[rat-king-reeah]

This just in I love Penn with my whole heart and I’m about to get feral drawing goblin gals

The tats took me so long, I was gonna do the legs too but I ran out of ideas :(

(tap for higher res) // tis for #roddaverse-valentines :DDD

oh i love them,,,,

when i was drawing sketching Jewel the other day, i remembered @star-bribery ’s idea that Broome women got their tattoos extended and i really wanted to draw that. i suppose i’m imagining that girls have their head shaved since birth, but they don’t get tats till 18 or something, like a rite of passage. and at another point, or gradually they can grow down their shoulders. anyway, love your idea OP. like so much omg,,,

annndddd i headcanon that Barda got a bear (partial?) sleeve tattoo in the swirling style of Broome. i drew it a while back and i’m only now realising i never finished that WIP.
