Dr. Talos is one of my absolute favorite characters from Book of the New sun. Described in many ways, he is vulpine in his features and ruthless in his ways, and still one of the most likable people Severian meets on his travels. 

I absolutely adore his mannerisms and his relationship with Baldanders, I hope you all have a chance to go read the book and see if he does not fit in with the rest of Wolfe’s wonders. 

Now back to Tegn :D

“Break the Glass”

Last night I finished a true milestone. I read my way through the epic, truly mind expanding Book of the New Sun, also known as Severian of the Guild, Gene Wolfe’s magnum opus. I’ve never before read such a book, and I fear I never shall again. To try for a snappy summation of the tome would be to attempt folly and to do dear reader a gross injustice, better by far you take the journey to old Urth yourself, but the least I can do is to share some ideas that the text granted me, and hope it serves as some kind of an incentive. 

The sketches of the following few days are first impressions of mine, as I go back and re-read the text, no doubt I will find them changing and changing again, as is the way of Wolfe, and indeed of life itself.

Berkh and Tualeg had walked the woods of Dunkil for a handful seasons when the black spring came, and with it, the cursed beastlings out of the flint hills. 

There had been flight at first, and when there was no way to run, there had been a fight, and Tualeg had not lived. His body was too broken at the end, even as the horde fled back to their ragged rocks, leaving on the field their king, an impressive hulk. His head, parted from his shoulders by the great champion Baha Dur, was just about the size to serve Tualeg for a vessel, and Berkh was sworn to serve, even if he must lower himself to carry.

This was the result of the livestream yesterday, hope you’ll have a chance to join in with us tomorrow c:

The cape came along as he pulled it on, the hood seeming to swallow his head, the wings wrapping themselves around his arms, feathers brushing around him in flurry. He felt the wind, not against his skin, but in the rustle of his cape, like each feather was his own. Now to take wing, and give chase!

Another stream sketch, tried to do a shape shifter. The idea of the enchanted cape I thought fun, and I loved the idea of it being taken on, and magically adjusting so it looks eagle-like, animating itself around him as he moves to create the illusion of the real deal. 

Thanks for joining in the stream to all who were there, and especially to the people supporting the patreon; Thank you a ton! :D I hope all the rest of you have the chance to drop by, we stream again at 12am GMT tomorrow, hope you’ll all come! 

Cheers!

“Well ooooooieee look at that crank shaft!”. The wry smile hang on Phogul’s face as he viewed his latest creation coming together, his hired hands and apprentices scuttling around the workshop, all at his orders, all turning his will into iron and fire.

So here I go, trying my hand at superheroes. Or at least one. The baddest of the bunch. Wolverine! The slashiest, grumpiest most cigar-chompin' mutant to ever walk among us! Had a real heavy time with this one, made a lot, A LOT! of mistakes, but also learned a ton. In the end it came out pretty nice I thought, though it will be a constant reminder about taking my time, planning ahead and working deliberately. Go check out the full length video on YouTube or check out the Patreon for more exclusives and much more to come!

Sunday twitch stream went over a treat! This is a little progress shot of how far we’ve gotten at this point. The idea here was a Witcher hunter ork kinda character, usually I would have spent more time on really thinking out the concept, but this was kinda concieved on the go^^

Thanks so much to everyone who joined in, and a special thanks to the people supporting the Patreon. Loads of new stuff in the works for that, so keep an eye out an join up if you haven’t already c:

Oh! And a little story for this guy as per usual:

The white haired fool at thought Khozag some sort of beast as he came charging out of the dank darkness, moonlight playing along the silver edge as the witcher’s blade slipped free of it’s sheath. Silver is fine to look on, twinkles oh so prettily, like like gold and fine stones and polished teeth, but it holds no edge and stands no ground at the onslaught of hard bitter steel. At the mocking scorn Khozag had growled as his blade parted rings and wool and flesh there had been confusion, then recognition, then nothing. Now he was but another dead weight to be exchanged for silver, another triumphant notch to be carved.

Hope you’ll come join in the next stream when we polish this guy off, and chit and chat and rant our head off :D

Siggor

The very image of his father, though his nature belongs to the rocks and hills of his mother's country and folk. Even before he was out of his swaddling clothes his head was filled with stories of dragons slain by victorious heroes, swords of great power, magics and prophecies, and as children will, he was soon running about slaying his own dragons, the men among his father's household serving as his very own dragons.

He is a well made youth, full of whim and vigor and all the urges that drive the young to adventure and folly, to greatness or doom. His father's displeasure can be a fearsome thing, full of stern words about dignity and the cold nature of men, discipline and restraint. No doubt there is truth there, and at times he can feel it, but then the allure of another adventure calls...

More Tegn doodles for my Patreon! The oathsworn men under the antlered banner had given a grand showing when it came their turn, their great axes glinting bravely in the sun as they came forth to their doomed defiance. The old man himself had been fearful in the end, his legacy a broken offering on the altar of an unheeding god and all that was left to him were empty oaths and cooling blood. He had died bravely, or so the singers would say. He had died a true warrior, or so the men would tell in the days to come. He had died, blood drowning out his last battle cry as his soul retreated inwards, away from his eyes. The head thudded lamely to the ground, it was an end, for now.

Orlauf, Jarl of Heiduholt, of the Ariovisti, Longfarer, Dread Raider

He is for the old clans, though he has had to carve out his place amongst them, the better work of half his life, claiming his rights by steel and verse, by feast and friendship. His grant came with his name, wrought out of blood and smoke, gold and spoils won as they raided down into the free cities south of the Seven Sisters. Only with a name could he steal the woman he had wanted, and with her begun a seldom mingling between the old clans and his own folk.

His is a small holding, as these go, but he is well attended, by his spear brothers of old, and those who have gathered to him over the years, and now that winter has passed, it is time for slow schemes to bear sweet fruit, and for new adventures to begin.

The dance had overtaken her, moving her towards it’s own end. Her movements were still her own, each arching cut a lashing out of her fury and pain, each step taking her closer to an end she could not call her own. It had her, it lead her and she danced down it’s ruby red path, like a puppet strung up by Death himself.

The highlanders paid well, some in gold, some in craft, some in furs. They all paid on blood eventually though, some more than others, and any fool who stood in her way paid more still. #characterart #doodle #sword #warrior #drawing #digitalart #digitalpainting #procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVN_iNiqhk/?igshid=1bvbp3utqehm9

The chase would always leave her empty handed and out of breath, but still Hertha of the skinned knees and the sun-sore cheeks would be flush and grinning when she came home. How the little sneaks made their escape she could not say, though the forest kept fast it’s secrets. More of this stuff comin for the patreon, https://www.patreon.com/tegn
