Commissioned Art of Chatzu'kuan!
I felt the need to get Chatzu’kuan done. She just…needed to be rendered into life. So I commissioned AR Sullivan for art of Chatzu’kuan. Chatzu’kuan not from any particular point in the series, but of a future state version of her. After she’s figured herself out, basically.
This is also a quasi-companion piece to Spellbinder’s art. I wanted them to be posing so they could be ‘next’ to each other. The background didn’t have to be consistent, though. I wanted the background to be like a textured yellow swirl, which is on brand for their visual aesthetics. I decided against her having a staff of any kind, just wanted her channeling her Enoot energy.
Initial Sketch
Good start! Her skin tone needed to be tweaked, and I wanted her pose adjusted.
I also wanted the robe to have stripes on the bottom like so:
Updated Sketch
Pretty much there! Her eyes needed to be tilted and I wanted her to have a little smile.
Almost There
It was basically done, I just wanted two things changed: the robe to not have that v-cut by her neck and her left shoulder to be smoothed out a bit. Then boom!
Final
And there we go! It definitely feels like a Chatzu’kuan I haven’t written yet. A happier, stable Chatzu’kuan who is just…going with it and knows what she wants. It’s aspirational Chatzu’kuan.
It also made me think of the finer details of how Enoot look/operate, which is always good.
Anyway, it’s great seeing another race brought to life…and it’s all thanks to AR Sullivan!

January 2024 in Art (also The Lost Rough Map)
In January, I made a bunch of assets for my new solar system maps, also for my The Lost map (which I have just finished today as of this posting). I also drew two other pieces of my world, only one of which I am posting today (as the other is a spoiler for a future work): {% include image-figure.html src=”art/locations/shafien/Shafien-Architecture-Idea.webp” alt=”Shafien Architecture Concept” caption=”Shafien Architecture Concept” %}
December + November 2023 in Art
I didn't make a November 2023 in Art post, even though I did do art in that month, as I neglected to take the pictures of my art. As such, I am posting November and December 2023's art all together! I didn't include everything I drew, only the stuff I want to share/is worth sharing.
