A house in town, I was intrigued by the shadow and how stylized the entire scene was, so I painted it. Though I need to be looser…

Artwork: Portrait of Gothiel. She's a dark elf with a shaved head and a fresh scar over one side of the face.ALT

Gothiel, my character from Skyrim -
This time in a piece that makes her look awesome and cool, to counterbalance the comics in which she eats paint.

Close-up for the glory of the texture

From The Gifts of Darkness - Chapter 23, page 19

For my collection of favorite panels. I was the model for this one, which is also why the arms and hands are especially good-looking :P

If you like my art and can spare something, please consider following me on Patreon, where you will see:

  • Everything I post here in early access, usually 3 to 10 days before;
  • Bonus versions of my art, like the lines without color, works in progress, etc.;
  • Behind the scenes of my projects, like how I painted leaves in a certain picture, or compilations of scrapped sketches for my comics;
  • Some special things that I don’t post anywhere else - recently for example I posted a bonus scrapped page for The Gifts of Darkness that will remain exclusive.

This all at the lowest tier.
Higher tiers also get

  • Storyboards of my comics, as soon as I’m done working on them, which is weeks in advance of when I post the final colored pages. Well, I call them storyboards but they’re more polished than that - you know what, let me show you an example:
  • Commission tokens for commissioning me every month. Theoretically. Nobody has chosen this tier yet :(

Come look! Or pass it on -

Artwork: "The creature from the dream said something I forgot"

The creature is a somewhat mammalian quadruped, black with green elephant feet, long neck, long tail, a vaguely cat-like head with blue and purple and white flames for ears and whiskers forming a butterfly around its head, and eyes like neutron starsALT

@jescollects I had this dream a little while after drawing fanart of Hellbitch so that might be why :B

Some choice panels from The Gifts of Darkness that I have previously used as the comic update previews. I can just dump some of them here for a low effort post about my comic. Well, the post is low effort. The art – not exactly.

Looking in the update previews folder I realize, in almost all of them, Val looks sweet and smiling… which is literally his chosen presentation to hide all of his sadness. Oh, the thematic irony.

Long AMVs Appreciation

A blog for reblogging, showcasing, and cherishing long AMVs! They take so much effort to make, and they should be properly celebrated!

  • We feature any AMV over 1 minute long.
  • We take the term AMV in a pretty wide sense, and so we accept not just anime but also any kind of animation, live-action, and video games. Anything as long as it’s a fandom project involving video with music.
  • If you have an AMV that qualifies, please send a submission!

Blog ran by @ritabuuk and @devilrose.

New sideblog project @long-amvs!

ONCE AGAIN my Mewtwo AMV with Insomnium’s One for Sorrow (shorter version).

Now with hard subs for those less fluent in metal because the lyrics are essential and you gotta follow.

Just so you know, this hits like a megaton bomb past the 2:00 mark but you need the buildup, so hold on for the full ride!

@vapawreon this is the highest compliment one of my AMVs has ever received and all I can say is thank you, and mission accomplished :D

Comic:
Gothiel: The magic symposium was fun! I even understood some words!
Faendal: Which ones?
Gothiel: TheALT

Thank you @babyblueetbaemonster for the incredible discussion about illusion/alteration. Gothiel was present and listened.

Me, writing down random things. Gothiel, understanding it perfectly 👍

I was thinking of that Spongebob bit but let’s be honest: she’s so simple that her The doesn’t even have the illuminated dropcap XD

From 2023 actually. I didn’t like the colors at the time. Why not?? Anyway, now it has been rescued from the darkness of the art archive folders.

Val, the eternally beautiful and the eternally sad -
the co-protagonist of my webcomic, The Gifts of Darkness.

Collection of some favorite artwork I’ve made centered on him, both from side illustration and comic panels.

I’ve completed writing the full draft of The Gifts of Darkness!

It’s all fully down! I have written everything I wanted to say about Val and Adrien and how their story ends! I may still want to do some minor edits before we get into comic form, but even if I die tomorrow (HEY WHAT NO), you would still be able to read the completed story as my friends tearfully release it at my funeral!

Now for the

STATS!

  • 12 years of writing! It was my decision that, although I knew how the story in general would flow and how it would end long before now (and long before I started transforming this novel-draft into a comic), I would continue writing the draft as I worked on the comic, just so that the story could grow with me as an artist and writer over time, and also so that I could remain immersed in this story for as long as I wanted to. This has been good for me, and I’ve enjoyed the process. But now I’m ready to wrap it up and move on to other fiction drafts.
  • 41 chapters! (That means the comic is currently about 2/3 done!)
  • 163k words!
  • The last 17k of which were mostly written in the span of 4 days (though they had been heavily outlined and I had lots of pre-written snippets that I stitched within these parts).
  • According to my heuristic of 150 words per comic page, the story translates to about 1000 total pages of comic! (help) (kidding, I enjoy making the comic)
  • Approximately 10.000 cups of coffee so far if I counted right! More to come, if my stomach doesn’t completely abandon me!
  • The word “time” appears 465 times in the draft.
  • The word “darkness” appears 98 times.
  • The word “asshole” appears 3 times.

Also this is how I told the news to Denise:

Me: AAAAA! I am DONE with the whole draft!
Denise: WOOOOOH???
Me: I have a migraine.
Denise: We should celebrate tomorrow!
Me: Yeah! Take me to the hospital. I MEANT – THE BAR
