Jemimah and Locrian, from my Dragonfeathers Project. Jemimah is an adopted Human princess of a Naga clan. Locrian is a lone Vampire living in a Human city at the centre of a sprawling canal network called the ‘Riverweb’.

I’m planning a musical animatic featuring these two. I’m aiming to complete it by the end of January next year, if I don’t get swamped with other work.

I was noodling around with the colour jitter setting in the Procreate 5 beta and it wound up accidentally turning into this. Lyrique and Stella having a nap in the Lowlands of the Kinlais Range. Girl is probably supposed to be at school.

These are the paintings from week two of my school holiday landscape challenge! I’m so pleased with the improvement between the first few days and now! It’s exciting; I didn’t think it would be so pronounced so quickly. Definitely makes me feel excited for the future!

These school holidays, I’ve challenged myself to try two things. One of those things is to paint a landscape for every working day of the holidays; ten days in all. I painted two on the first day, so here are the first five! They order from newest to oldest; there’s already an enormous difference in quality.

The other thing was to draw between six to eight hours each day. Why? To see if I like it. I’m considering leaving my role as a teacher and trying to become an illustrator full time. I need to know if I’ll like drawing that much before I make such an enormous decision.

So far I’m absolutely loving it and, given the improvement I’m already seeing with my landscapes - one of the weakest elements in my art - I think it’s realistic. Risky, but realistic. If I spend next year working hard to iron out my weaknesses, I’m hopeful I’ll stand a good chance of finding work down the road.

My partner is completely supportive of it too, which is great.

This has to be the most accurate pairing of Lyrique Fey I’ve ever made. She looks almost exactly how I envision her. So pleased! . #art #artwork #digitalart #illustration #dragonfeathers #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #myart #painting #artoftheday #sunflower #freckles #originalart #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #oc #redhead #procreate #procreateart #speedpaint #portraitpainting (at Fremantle, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuO0gjllkrv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=81b5sqcf3ht6

Huevember #22! This creature is one of the merpeople of the #Dragonfeathers universe. I call them Muila. . This is the second piece I’ve drawn with #Procreate and I’m much happier with this one! I’ve found and tweaked a brush which is working for me and I love how easily this program works with texture. I’m still exploring, but I like the result I achieved here. . #huevember #huevember2018 #art #artwork #digitalart #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #myart #drawing #creative #painting #artoftheday #fantasy #fantasyart #originalart #originalcharacter #oc #gallery #doodle #sketchbook #ocean #mermaid #speedpaint (at Fremantle, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsR0KHlFIuA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1athynuh66t4s
