A hobbit hole I did for a friend as a wedding present. Sepia ink is always fun to draw with and to wash with :) 

I very much want to live in  a hobbit hole

Did you know Georges patronus was a coyote, I say was because after Fred died he was never able to cast one again. 

This popped into my head, so I had to get it out, cast the demons out I say

A quick pen sketch to get something in my new sketchbook. Burrich and a young FitzChivalry from the Farseer trilogy, it’s in my head while I sit here waiting for the last book in the Fitz and the Fool trilogy.... still waiting

The quality isn’t the best because Im too lazy to get the scanner out, so phone camera to the rescue

Also, I have in my mind a painting I would love to do of the moment Burrich dropped a dragon, cos he’s a badass like that

More gouache studies, now with added scanner

Another Cornwell study photographed with my piece of shit phone, now, I know what you’re thinking, “Michael, you bought an expensive scanner you could use to scan that and it would show off all the detail you put so much effort into trying to capture” and I hear you ya judgemental bastard, but I retort, it’s in a different room and I’m not getting up, are you? no, see, fuck it

Gouache by the by

A quick gouache portrait of the Hound from Game of Thrones for funsies, a little white pencil at the end as well for the floating hair at the top and beard. It was meant to be just black and white but there was some cadmium yellow deep on the palette (inside of a tobacco tin I use to carry the paint about) so it got a brownish tone going on
