mr bones' wild ride

it never ends

Skulduggery Pleasant was one of the first characters I ever created art for. It was also the first time I posted my art online, shamelessly tagging the author on Twitter because I was so proud of it.

In short, it’s partly thanks to this book series that I am posting my art online nowadays, so it seemed fair to do a little something to say thank you!

Since I now work full-time as a concept artist for video games, the character concept art format seemed fitting. :D

Thanks for reading my rambling and thank you for the likes, comments, silly tags, and lovely interactions over the years, and for many more to come, hopefully! Edit : I switched the last board with the correct version... I posted too fast and did not check it was the correct version silly me!

Finally finished this illustration for Death Bringer, which remains my second favorite book in the entire series. Detail crops in this post!

I’m here feeling lower than the sterling, how’d you look so good? 

This drawing was divinely inspired (by a pair of Macy’s mannequins in formalwear). Not nearly enough time to fix all the little things I’d like to so I’m just posting as is! Lucky book 13 is out in three months, everyone.

You can't just do the same thing over again— it's Valkyrie, and it's Skulduggery, but it's their twelfth book together, I can't do the same thing. I can't have the same level of irresponsible fun which marked the first couple of books. Valkyrie is older now, she's gone through a lot more; she's got PTSD, she's been traumatised, and she's got all of this guilt, all of these issues. I think she's permanently on the verge of depression, because who wouldn't be? She's wonderful, she's fantastic, but... she's been through a lot. So, the twelfth book of the series cannot be the same as the third. And the relationship with Skulduggery can't be the same, because back then she viewed herself as his equal, but he was obviously more powerful, and more experienced, and more competent. Whereas now, Valkyrie is hugely experienced—she's been through stuff that he hasn't—and she's a lot more powerful, so they are very much equals.
