After Spellbinder was successfully done by AR Sullivan, I had Farrco commissioned! He was either going to be the easiest character ever or the hardest to get done. This is because Farrco is very geometric, static, and has more ‘elements’ to him than any other character. But he is static so there’s no pose question. He just is and my drawings of him are basically on point with articulating all of his aspects properly. I also knew what type of...
As the other commission of Spellbinder didn’t go so well, I craved to get Spellbinder done again to hopefully a better end—to make it right for her and for myself. So, I set my sights on an artist who seemed like they could do both the fantasy and sci-fi side of Spellbinder. I landed on AR Sullivan after looking into/contacting a few artists. I wasn’t sure if I’d find ‘the One’ at second try, but….I think did. Really happy with...
So, after a long commission hiatus, I commissioned Hailfire for a picture of Spellbinder. V1 First Sketch So here I realized a few things that I ought to have communicated: That she’s not mechnical looking The legs are to be taken verbatim and not stylized The pincers need to be thick/fat To help, I did edits on the art to call out what I was referring to: First Sketch Edit Direction (1/2) First Sketch Edit Direction (2/2) V2 Second Sketch...

Besides how plain it looks, I do like how this one turned out. It is all white in the background. The font is the Yataghan Font, which is the...
The last time I did a Hogwarts house sorting for characters was in 2016 and I alluded to doing more…and I never did. But now I am! I was thinking about Spellbinder’s Ravenclaw aspects while writing her character development spotlight and realized that this was very much overdue.
Here is the art I did in April 2022, which is only two busts of characters from The Lost. Very pleased with Pharaoh’s art. Her expression…I don’t know, it just enchants me and makes me think. Tiger could have been better, but Tiger’s a hard one to nail since he needs to be uncanny and I’m not adept enough to do that. Pharaoh Bust Tiger
