De La Mina Verbena (Verbena lilacina 'De La Mina'). Native to the Cedros Islands off Baja California, this tough little shrub comes in at 2'H x 4'W. Delicate serated shaped leaves form this plant in a tidy low growing mound. Starting in Spring then slowing during the hottest months, countless little flowers cover the plant. The flowers have a sweet fragrance and are attractive to pollinators like bees and the Painted Lady Butterfly.

Been playing Bannerlord for a while now and having a lot of fun with it. Small lineup of just a few of my companions I've picked up and taken a liking to.

More background art portfolio stuff. Tried to draw and paint something in the style of Genndy Tartakovsky’s “Clone Wars” to show some style variation. Added in Darth Maul to give the scene full context according to how I designed the storyboard thumbnail.
It’s interesting to see how much the character adds to the scene, versus the background just by itself.

Haven’t painted people in a while. Bringing it back with some Guild Wars 1 heroes for practice in between all the background art stuff.

Fun practice paint based on this 70's fashion photo I found. Taking notes from previous studies I’ve been doing as well as some Jeremy Lipking.

"Carved jade adorned their heads and hung from their necks and cloak. And in those carvings were the shapes of nature found around them and great figures from their history; craftsman, warriors, chieftains and heroes." Haven't drawn these characters in a while. Little painting focusing on their jade-work. Also, is anyone even still using this app anymore? lol

Thought I’d be done with this before we left for our trip to Japan. I’ll have to finish it when I get back.
Working on this before I have to go back and do revisions on work, HNNNGH.
Back after a long break. Getting back into X-Files as background noise while I work. Sketch of Doctor Banton, a theoretical scientist caught in an accident involving a particle accelerator. His shadow is a living black hole that deconstructs all organic material into pure energy.
Also re-doing my GW2 group picture. Don’t like the old one I painted anymore, and wanted to make something better.
Haven’t painted in a while. So here’s some spooky Night Marchers since we just finished watching “Haunting of Hill House”.

Got a lot of practice out of these series of paintings. Tried some new things with composition and paint techniques. Putting them all together chronologically from the Siege of Mt. Hiei to the death of Akechi Mitsuhide. Check the links below for the stories surrounding each image.
1571, The Siege of Mt. Hiei
1575, The Battle of Nagashino
1579, Mitsuhide’s Betrayal
1582, Honno-Ji Burns
1582, The Death of Akechi Mitsuhide
1582, The Death of Akechi Mitsuhide
After the successful Akechi lead coup against Nobunaga, Mitsuhide claimed himself the new Shogun of Japan. He quickly moved to secure this position by reaching out to allies and the Emperor. However, Mitsuhide's allies had already begun to separate themselves from him. Outreach to the Emperor was also half-hearted and did not ease a nervous Imperial Court. Nobunaga's generals who were off fighting during the assassination began their return to deal with the usurper and secure their positions for the oncoming power struggle. As Nobunaga's retainers closed in, Mitsuhide's campaign for support quickly deteriorated causing his soldiers to leave by the thousands. He gravely miscalculated Nobunaga's popularity as the entire country was turning against him.
After four days, Hashiba Hideyoshi, a devout Oda-retainer, caught up to the Akechi army. He managed to sway two other Oda retainers to his side, swelling his forces to 20,000 - twice that of the Akechi army. The two forces met at the Battle of Yamazaki. After just two hours of fighting, the Akechi army was completely routed. Mitsuhide fled the battle and retreated to the nearby village of Ogurusu. As he was fleeing, a bandit lept out from hiding and thrust his spear into him. Mitsuhide had been killed, his reign as Shogun lasting a paltry 13 days.
Though Hideyoshi had avenged Nobunaga's death, the victory was short lived. All out war was apparent as this sudden power shift completely fractured any sense of stability in Japan. Leaders retreated to their strongholds to plan how best to secure power over the arising conflict.

1582, Honno-Ji Burns
Nobunaga had consolidated his power over most of Japan and had begun his final push to eliminate what few clans remained. Hashiba Hideyoshi was leading a western assault against the powerful Mori clan. Nobunaga had left to join the campaign, but had stopped at Honno Temple, his usual resting place in the capital of Kyoto. Mitsuhide had been ordered to rendezvous with Hideyoshi to support his efforts. Instead, he was marching towards Honno-Ji with a force of 13,000 men ready to overthrow Nobunaga. As Nobunaga's generals and armies were all off fighting on different fronts, his only company were servants, bodyguards, court officials, and merchants.
Mitsuhide's march towards Kyoto went unchecked as he used previous demonstrations in the city as a pretext to belay suspicion. As they crossed the Katsura River, Mitsuhide exclaimed "the enemy awaits at Honno-Ji!" Before sunrise, the temple was surrounded and Mitsuhide had begun his attack. Nobunaga and his company were taken by surprise and could not defend against the sheer number of troops. Rather than give the traitors the satisfaction of his head as a prize, Nobunaga ordered the temple to be burned down. He then committed ritual suicide, his body soon claimed by the flames. So ended the rule of the Demon King, Nobunaga.
Mitsuhide then began his own consolidation of power by claiming himself the new Shogun. However, besides the few holdouts, Japan had been ready to accept an Oda-Shogunate. Peace had begun setting in as quarrelsome provinces and rivals had been pacified. Without Nobunaga, ambition and the desire for power crept back into the land. Mitsuhide's treacherous act would fracture the entire country, leading to all out war for the next two decades...
