Hey guys, I finished my newest drawing! I really had a lot of fun with this one, especially getting the candlelit glow just right! Astarion deserves all the cuddles in the world, and my Tav, Elowyn, a Wood Half-Elf bard is more than happy to give them to him.

For those curious, her eye is both pink and yellow because the pact with her patron forces her to tell the truth to everyone, and that eye shares her real emotions so she cannot lie to others without hiding it. Right now, her overwhelming emotion is love, and happiness is sprinkled in because it brings her joy to see Astarion so relaxed and happy himself.

So yeah, I adore this piece, and I hope you do too! I had to tweak Astarion's colour palette to give it more contrast, thanks to the last of contrast in the 3D model, but I still think he looks good regardless.

I hope you like the drawing too!

Hey guys, this week's speedpaint is up! I'm really happy with the results of this one! I do warn that the video is a little longer than usual, because I wanted to make sure to give it my undivided attention and ensure the linework came out as perfect as it could!

Elowyn wanted to pamper Astarion, and Astarion wanted a cuddle, it's a win-win situation!

Hey guys, I finally finished inking my newest piece. Honestly, this took over three days to ink, due to the small details and well, other responsibilities outside of my art. Honestly though, I'm happy I took my time with it, because I'm really proud of how it came out!

So yeah, here's the line art for the drawing where Astarion finally gets all the cuddles he deserves. Elowyn adores his content smile, and she'd be lying if she said she didn't like feeling how soft his hair is.

Astarion will tease her for this if she ever said it aloud, but he's not complaining, after 200 years of suffering, he's earned a nice cuddle and a glass of wine.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Hey guys, the speedpaint for my BG3 video is out! I adored drawing this, and to be honest, that 3D tool in Clip Studio is going to make drawing that cursed angle I put Astarion in so much easier going forward.

I don't intend to use it elsewhere, because it's pretty rigid and hard to control, but it's still nice to finally have a means of getting that angle right!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Fighting Against the Darkness, All Parts

Well, turns out I didn't share the videos for this drawing, so guess what I'm doing today!

I hope you all enjoy! I loved redrawing this piece!

I do not own the Naruto franchise, or Orochimaru. I just own Kaede.

[kay-jay-comic-art]

Hey guys, I drew Astarion and Elowyn together for the first time! This man doesn't get enough cuddles during the campaign, so I remedied it with a lovely cuddle between him and my OC!

So yeah, in this drawing, Astarion is resting against Elowyn's legs as she hums a tune, drinking wine among an army of pillows in her small, humble tent. He finds her carding her fingers through his hair to be just what he needs after a hard day of adventuring, and she'd be lying if she said she didn't enjoy it too.

So yeah, I hope you enjoy the sketch! I had a fun time with this one!

Fighting Against the Darkness -REDRAW-

The first one is the redraw, the second is the original.

Hey guys, I finished the redraw for my eleven year-old illustration titled "Losing Yourself to Darkness." Not only does this piece get a new coat of paint (ha,) it also has a new title to better suit the symbolism of the illustration!

This is set during the earlier chapters of my fanfic, when Kaede still hated Orochimaru with a vengeance and wanted him dead. If only she could see the future, eh?

Anyway, I had a lot of fun painting this one, though I think my age is finally starting to catch up to me, lol. My back hurts when I lean over to draw. Elven years of weekly content will do that to a person.

Still, I hope you like the piece!

[kay-jay-comic-art]

Hey guys, I had an issue with my scanner over this week, and had to quickly get that fixed before I could share the line art for my "Losing Yourself to Darkness" redraw! But it's back in business now, so I can show you my progress!

So yeah, I've renamed the piece "Fighting Against the Darkness" since it better suits the symbolism, and simplified some aspects of it, while amplifying the most important ones for clarity's sake. The main difference is how dynamic the new piece is compared to the original, and I cannot be happier with my improvements over the past eleven years!

Anyway, I hope you like it!

I do not own the Naruto franchise, or Orochimaru. I just own Kaede.

[kay-jay-comic-art]

Well, it's time I redid a very old drawing! So here we have Kaede punching the looking glass, trying her best to fight against Orochimaru's influence. The original drawing is now eleven years old, and since the colouring was the main issue back when I first created it, I can't wait to fix it now!

Let me know if you guys like the changes I've made!

I know it's late, but here's last week's timelapse! I was in the mood to write, and that became a video itself so I could proof-read and post a brand new chapter of my Echoes of a Fallen Star story!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

"The Cursed Bard cannot tell a lie, for her honesty rings true, through her unique eye."

I hope you guys enjoy the video! I adore my new character so much! She's shy with new people, but the moment you give her an audience to play for, her true nature shines like a golden dawn.

I do not own BG3. I just own Elowyn.

[kay-jay-comic-art]

Hey guys, I finished Elowyn's character reference! I originally planned for a fair few more colours in her design, but honestly, I'm glad I toned it down so her hair and dress stand out so much more. (For example, the green in the background and the pink gems on her sword were meant to be more prominent colours.) I honestly love how she looks, she's so beautiful and elegant! I never draw dresses like her's either, so it was a fun challenge to get all the frills and puffy sleeves looking right!

Anyway, this is my cursed bard for BG3 who is paired with Astarion and whose eye changes to match her emotions, meaning she can never lie. I hope you all like her as much as I do!

I do not own Baldur's Gate 3, or Astarion. I just own Elowyn.

[kay-jay-comic-art]

Hey guys, I finished inking Elowyn's design, and I must admit, I had far too much fun with this one! I've never drawn a rapier before, or a puffy sleeved dress, so this had some interesting challenges in it that I wasn't expecting. Still, I enjoyed myself thoroughly. So yeah, Elowyn is a Bard/Warlock character who later becomes a Bard/Druid. I won't tell you why, because of spoilers, but its significant to her story.

Anyway, I hope you like her design!

I do not own Baldur's Gate 3, or Astarion. (Her love interest.) I just own Elowyn.

[kay-jay-comic-art]

Here I am getting ran over by the Baldur's Gate bandwagon. This time it's the speedpaint for the sketch I made on Monday. Elowyn Oakley is a strange bard with a special kind of curse. However, don't let that scare you, she is full of whimsey and adventures just waiting to be shared through song!

[kay-jay-comic-art]

Hey guys, I've been really obsessed with Baldur's Gate 3 recently, and am over 60 hours into my first playthrough. I'm about to fight Ketheric Thorm after going back and doing all the side quests available to me at the time. This game is incredible, and I absolutely adore Astarion and Karlach the most. But Astarion has a special place in my heart given his nature, his backstory and the fact that he is a vampire with pointy ears. (Yes, I have a type.) So here's a brand new character for me to write about! Her name is Elowyn Oakley, and she is a Half Wood-Elf Bard/Warlock who later becomes a Bard/Druid. She has the unfortunate nickname, "The Cursed Bard." But you'll have to wait to find out why.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

Hey guys, the final part of my "Poke Pals" speedpaint is up and ready to be watched! God, I have loved every minute of this game and have already clocked in over 100 hours just fixing up the Withered Wastelands! Feel free to tell me in the comments what you've been doing on the game too!

I do not own Pokemon, Pokopia, Peakychu, or Ditto. I just wanted to draw these adorable beans.

[kay-jay-comic-art]

Hey guys, I finally finished my Pokopia drawing! I adore Peakychu and the avatar ditto we play as so much, that I just had to draw them! I think I managed to draw a wobbly jelly-like human rather well, and Peakychu is always cute, no matter how you draw her. Anyway, I hope you like it!
