I do like your art style. Is this a character from one of your WIPs?

Thanks!

Not yet, but I would love to turn it into a story. Maybe some sort of dark fairytale/ redwall kind of thing. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. No solid ideas, though.

@linus-smallprint

Hmm. Okay. I think I can try to throw in one of Joseph before the Sabina one. I really like the feel it has.

Yes. Lol. This is Joseph as a child.

Hmm, Okay. I’ll try to finish it up today, and I’ll sketch out the other options as well so that you can have a look.

@linus-smallprint

Thanks!

Um… I’m not sure. I had in my notes that I needed a drawing with Joseph comforting Eric, but now I have to look through the book and actually find said scene. XD

Two questions:

Do you think the one with Sabina at the grave could be worked in as her memory/recap when she’s in the bedroom, or does it seem out of…[Read more]

That is the BEST pronunciation guide I’ve ever seen! lol

@loopylin

oh, i like it!

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle Thanks! I was trying to show how weird it was that the green that I was using was actually orange on the color wheel, lol

I haven’t finished the background yet. And yes, it’s a sheep in wolf’s clothing :]

@linus-smallprint

I LOVE that cover idea!!!!!

I wonder if you can scan that in and then go over it digitally. I bet you could.

@loopylin

Oh that;s awesome!

@linus-smallprint

oh my goodness.

That is so funny!!!!

@linus-smallprint

They might. In book 2, some characters will be travelling and will have to hunt for some food. Since deer is off the menu, hares, or other rabbit-like animals, will be a source of food to them.

Ahh, makes sense. Scratch the rabbit idea then.

(This is why we can be glad there are no human-animal hybrids in the real world)

lol yeah…[Read more]

*Immediate and instant cringe*

I hate sharing unfinished drawings. *sob*

I have a few more ideas for the Joseph in bed one. In fact, I started the face and arms of the next one, but that’s about it. I am also going to attempt the temple. And I have a Beric standing one in mind….. and one of the boys playing. Not sure if…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

awesome!

@linus-smallprint okay, ideas!

• Arctic: This is cliche, but bears (with grizzly, polar, and black variants) would be cool. Or a semi-aquatic, fisherman race of seals.
• Asia: Red pandas, turtles, Asian elephants, or the flying dragon lizard might be cool.
• Oceans: This is gonna be hard if you want your creatures to retain some form of humanity.…

@linus-smallprint

I’ll help!

@linus-smallprint

See, I never liked using those manikins. I have one, but for some reason I don’t like them. *shrug*

Here is an example from a sketch I am currently working on

Ah. No, I don’t tend to do that.

I can send a few sketches I started last night. Some are finished while some are still in the outline stage.

@linus-smallprint I have a tiny one of those. You’re right, they’re good for basic poses, but mine at least is nowhere near the amount of flexibility for the poses I have my characters in much of the time.

@linus-smallprint what regions of the world are you missing?

@linus-smallprint

Your art does look good. I’m a little thrown off because the picture you took of it is a little tilted, but they do look balanced when I tilt my head to match.

thanks! yeah I think I took that picture with my tablet camera, and my tablet is huge so it’s hard to stabilize.

@linus-smallprint

Ooh, nice! His cowl is cool!

@stephie

*applause*

@linus-smallprint

Having two thumbs and two fingers on each hand has to be a weird feeling.

yeah that must be weird.

Apparently it’s possible though for creatures to have more than one thumb, though.

@linus-smallprint

Bro, the art is super good. You’re dedicated and it clearly shows; well done.

@stephie

Hold up, get this girl a record deal.

@linus-smallprint

Do you have a plan for the front cover? (Ignore this question if you’re swamped with thoughts for the illustrations XD)
