Yes, its been more than two months since my last post and my remodel job isn't even half done. But! I have forced myself to make time to paint a birthday present for @awritingcaitlin. So happy very late birthday!
Again, this is her OC Rinnie, performing a cultural water dance.

Well this took a hot minute to finish. Here is the final (lol) version of @awritingcaitlin 's OCs, Rinnie (right) and Taryn (left) on a tour of the classy area of Berthingtonn. In so far as sapphic couple bodyguard romances go, this one is cute. Until it isn't and @awritingcaitlin goes and breaks her babies like authors are wont to do.

(Yes, I will be starting my sketch a day counter again. DIY home remodels are stupidly time consuming.)
Okay, yeah. I have not been super active. Yes, I will be restarting my sketch-a-day counter.
Anyway, here's Mica Krogstad, the party's resident dwarf alchemist, wearing her winter clothes because it gets incredibly cold outside anywhere north or south of the Tyrisius temperate zone.
Mica hails from the Schmeidish Dwarven Trading Clans and grew up in the family business of industrial alchemy, which means that she is equally comfortable on a farm or in an airship hopping from city to city selling her products.
At least, this is what she will tell you.
The truth is that for the last three years she has been estranged from her family while living the life of an airship pirate, operating between Schmeidland and Berthingtonn where the take is especially lucrative.
So don't let the semi-innocent face fool you.

Good Lord, this WIP is taking forever. Incidentally, does anyone know an easy way to do gradients in Procreate? Otherwise I guess I'll be blending the old fashioned way.
More color work in my free time today. Also slight adjustments to Taryn's hair and uniform.

Second day working on this WIP. Yup, I drastically changed Rinnie's dress to something that she would actually wear while just walking around the classier part of town. At least I also mostly got the flat colors down for her. Taryn will be easier with the color, but more difficult with the level of detail.

Another WIP for today. This is the start of an early scene of Dr. Rinnie Edgewing (right) and her Edansa Navy bodyguard Petty Officer 1st Class Taryn Woodlance on one of their many tours through the fashionable districts of upper Berthingtonn. Taryn takes her job very seriously. Rinnie does... not.

Today was busy. Have two minutes of 2H lined and shaded beans.

This was too good, so I had to draw it.
I just loved the look of absolute malicious intent on the tuxedo cat's face and the dawning realization on the white cats'.

Yup, drawing cats again.
Today was pretty crazy, so I didn't have time to finish this piece, which is from a hilarious video (I'll reblog this to the original video once its done). I don't usually like to post WIPs, but I'm trying to draw every day and prove it, so today, I'm posting a WIP.

You have to love grumpy old cats in bookstores. Here's my take on this old timey cat of yore.
My last couple of sketches really reminded me that I suck at drawing hands. Specifically female hands. One of my bad drawing habits seems to be to draw things more blocky than I want them to be. So today was about practice.
Incidentally, I cannot recommend Line of Action any more highly. I love them and the challenge of drawing on a timer.

And now for something completely different.
I watched Dun Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon for those of you who don't regularly hang around anime people) a while ago and recently just started the manga. If anything, the manga only solidified my opinion that the whole series is just this meme in long-form.

One last sketch for the Law Enforcers of Berthingtonn's South Town for The Brewing War by @awritingcaitlin. This Guard is a member of a Precinct Investigation Team.
Inking and color to come later.
Due to the high prevalence of Mages and magic in general in the Tyrysius setting, it is only natural that law enforcement agencies hire and train specialists in the art of Pnemamancy (Spirit Magic) to act as investigators. Their skill in this magic allows them to trace the ambient magic left in the wake of a crime, and if investigated quickly enough, this residual magic can often lead them directly to the perpetrator.
As one would expect, these techniques are not fool-proof and experienced Mages can cast spells to hide their tracks or otherwise confuse an investigator, leading to a sort of arms race among investigators and magically gifted criminals.
In this vane, the Investigation Teams have invested in both magical and mundane tools, such as the Focus Hood, worn by this investigator, which filters out stray emotional magic, and Piercing Goggles, (also worn) which enable a user to see through most Illusion spells.

Another quick sketch up from the denizens of Berthingtonn's South Town for The Brewing War by @awritingcaitlin. This is of a Berthan Guard of the Armored Astral Tactical Enforcement Unit.
Inking and color to come later.
The Armored Astral Tactical Enforcement Unit is the most prestigious and controversial Guards organization in Berthingtonn and is the one that most encapsulates the Berthan attitude towards Astrals in their city. On the negative side, the very existence of this unit shows why Astrals should be feared, as when one goes outside the law, AATE are likely the only ones who will be able to effectively deal with the threat. On the flip side, due to Berthan recruitment policies, the AATE also employs the highest concentration of Astrals and Battle Mages in the city and the prestige motivates them to remain model citizens who serve as example of just how useful and trustworthy Astrals can be. At least that is how it is supposed to work.
Due to their combat experience, gained by fighting Astrals, mages and organized crime, in times of war, AATE Guards (known among themselves as 8-Ballers) revert to the command of the Berthan Army, where they have repeatedly distinguished themselves in the role of Heavy Shock Infantry.
Unlike the last two examples of Guards, this AATE trooper (as the name would suggest) is heavily armored in enchanted steel plate and armed with a .46 Caliber Anti-Astral Battle Rifle, as well as a host of other close-in weapons.
These Guards ultimately serve as both a weapon of last resort for the Berthan Crown and as a warning to the criminal enterprises of the city - do not incur the notice of the 8-Ballers.

Another quick sketch up from the denizens of Berthingtonn's South Town for The Brewing War by @awritingcaitlin. This is of a Berthan Guard on duty at one of the precinct headquarters.
Inking and color to come later.
Unlike the last two sketches, this didn't draw on any specific regional inspiration, but rather an attempt to keep the vibe going by imagining what was under the patrol uniform from the previous picture. In this case, the Guard Sergeant is on dispatch duty and is running around with a headset because some nights are just like that for police.
This Guard is armed with a Service Revolver and nothing else, because while a guard might be ecstatic to doff their armor and hand weapons, they'd be damned to part with their gun.
Most importantly all Guards carry a combination field notebook and legal quick-reference. All the better to write down the reasons that you threw your new drinking buddy through the window at the tavern.
