Commission #5 from Reiesu, a long time coming one that was initiated last June. I had been thinking of doing Balon Zfnoctewoohi for this or King Fla’neiel…of course, those I eventually did commission after figuring this out. For Reiesu’s next commission, I had an even better idea: Xinlara. Xinlara, as in, Cyclone’s Vacore name, as in Cyclone when he was alive and young. It seemed so provocative and daring to do Xinlara. Like…doing something forbidden. I don’t know, it’s about...
I actually drew a pretty decent amount in 2020! There was a lot I didn’t put on the website until now. I didn’t realize I had pretty steady output of art this year. I think the Apple Pencil helped keep it up. Only three months I didn’t draw anything. It may be a big dump, but it doesn’t even include the artwork that into the Adagio tea blends for each of the Trinity and the One members, the commissions/sketches for...
There should be no surprises here. It started with Balon, it proceeded with Rayacha Chajaran, and now we are here with Lana Zfhi. I commissioned Erika Hollice, of course, to finish the ‘set’ and to bring Lana Zfhi to artistic life. I had a somewhat strong image going in of what this picture of Lana Zfhi would look like: Background was to be spider legs coming out from behind her Wooden fooring (like the Cathedral) Dress was a simple pale...
Since the Balon Zfnoctewoohi commission with Erika Hollice went so well, I decided to have Erika continue with Balon’s family. Specifically, Rayacha Chajaran and Lana Zfhi. In my mind, all three together would show the evolution of their sentiments: Rayacha closed, Lana reaching out but caged, and Balon open and ready. Instead of doing Lana Zfhi next, I decided on Rayacha Chajaran for a variety of personal reasons. I had a really good concept art of her to provide in...
I went outside my comfort zone with this art commission! I wanted to try something a bit more cartoon-y compared to the other more moodier artwork I’ve had commissioned. And I really wanted to get King or one of the more armored/alien characters done. So I commissioned Malgamma for King Fla’neiel (after some back and forth of figuring that out, haha)! The Process It was pretty easy and straightforward, as I had a great deal of references for King in...
I commissioned a new artist to do Balon Zfnoctewoohi. Balon is thus the first of the Trinity and the One to be commissioned! The artist’s name is Erika Hollice and I found her through ArtStation. I liked the colors and expressiveness of her artwork and felt like she could do a very compelling Balon. Balon in full! This is the first full body commission I’ve done, which introduced new questions: what do her legs look like? Her tail? And…the pose!...
