Been here since ye olden days of 2011. Slowly crawling back with art crumbs every now and then..

Tara is wrong, the beard has been the best decision he made the past year BY FAR.

Playing around with procreate some more while watching the rebroadcasting of the latest episode of Critical Role! I feel like I’m getting somewhere! 

Here is everyone’s favorite leetle Tiefling in some kind of fantasy high school AU nobody asked for..

I needed to draw some angsty vulnerable Fjord after last episode. I loved loved loved it! Travis was doing amazing! Am I turning into a Critical Role blog now? With Travis pulling stuff like that, fjuck if I know..  Fjord ‘I’m a liability now’ Tough is pulling my emotional heartstrings into a big ‘o knot of feelings and I’m here for it.

Oh man, I haven’t posted on here in forever. I recently got caught up on Critical Role and I really enjoy this nerdy group of people and the story they’re weaving together. It’s just. so GOOD. Here’s my take on Cadeuces Clay, funkiest cowman and bestest mom-friend of the Mighty Nein. I just love Cadeuces’ design and how Taliesin plays him. There are some sketches laying around of the other characters as well, but I’m not sure if I will get ‘round to those.

Watching Black Mirror and sketching floating heads kind of weekend. Old folks are fun! 👵 . . . #art #sketch #portrait #illustration #wrinkles #mechanicalpencil #characterdesign #slowweekend

I am going to compile this stuff into nice and comprehensible character sheets eventually, but for now I feel like I need to get them out there to start with. And maybe some of you like to see a little process stuff, yeah? And I drew the wrong hand over and over again for the longest time...

I had a rough attitude and pose in mind, based on a few stats and how I felt like playing her. She’s a pretty confident lil’ lady, high on charisma and generally nice (Chaotic Good). I mostly went through iterations of weight-placement - with a +0 Strength and +1 Dexterity, I went with stringy and lean over bulky. She’s supposed to be around 3ft tall, which is especially funny considering the other party members being Elves and a Half-Orc.

Slowly chipping away at this D&D project. I hope to expand this to include all our party members: character sheets, expression and pose breakdowns - the whole thing! And eventually move on to enviroments and scenes.

So far I’ve only been playing around with my own character, Luna. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted her to look like, I included a few iterations I went through.

The goal for me is to turn this into some kind of mock-up visual development piece, which has already proven to be a great exercise already - gettin’ all those creative muscles firing away!

This was supposed to be a quick contribution to the Mermay Challenge, but ended spending a good day on it. I did enjoy it ,though!

Indulging myself with a d&d related project. Here's a first peek at my Forest Gnome Warlock named Luna. 🎲🔮 . . #art #visualdevelopment #dndcharacter #forestgnome #warlock

Late to the party, but still in time before the year ends! #yearoftherooster #chinesezodiac #2017

Recently I had the pleasure of designing Donna for one2keep!

one2keep offers online accountancy services for business owners and asked me to design their virtual accountant ‘Donna’. I had a lot of fun with this one!

Been working on this bigger thing in between stuff since the beginning of summer, I’m really pleased how it turned out! (I’m also slowly filling my Society6 page, take a look!)

[shinysjenn]

I miss having chicken like these! They’re really sweet and sociable and easy to keep. I might make a little series with different kinds of chicks/birds, what do you think? Any specific kinds?
