I haven’t posted anything since last September, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t done anything (though I haven’t done nearly enough but hey…) Here’s a dump of all the art that’s come out of here since last September.
Finished pieces:
Unfinished:
New portrait work – Kyohei
Another original character for L5R.
Portrait
Decided that I’d go ahead and just crop it into a portrait for now and go with it. Eventually (read like…I dunno maybe in another year) I will put in the intended background.
Niamh
Today I finally finished it. Quite by accident I came up with the berry hair color by adjusting the midtones.
I need a new logothingy, updateish, etc..
I got married in January, so the whole Jennifer Ashley Rand thing doesn’t really work anymore.
Still can’t manage to actually finish anything I want to finish…it’s getting ridiculous.
A while ago I posted this one: Ayrya Concept Work
I have an updated version that includes more of the lighting (yet without a background since I scrapped what I had):
Here are some sketches, mostly fanart:
(This one I am in the process of painting)
The Birth of Stars
This one is watermarked because it is actually very close to me, as its the first painting I’ve done that was completely spontaneous. Started out as some swirly colors and dodging and burning, then it just appeared.

Ugh. Mini hiatus and new concept work…
Ugh I haven’t been able to finish ANYTHING lately.
So I give up. This will eventually be a full piece but I got so obsessive with Ayrs since I’ve had her in my mind for oh, about 8 years now, and I’ve never actually done a true concept drawing of her that wasn’t super manga-style or in pencil. The final piece is going to be hearth-side, thus the warm lighting, even if it looks a little weird with the lack of background. I assure it will make sense at some point when I should bother to finish it.
Ayrya:
I’ve a couple of other half-done things that I’ll post in the next few days.
Kaoko & Mineki
Update:
Well I decided that I’d rather redo these up a little, add some color and all.
Kaoko:

Iridescent Arbours
"Once when the gentle rain fell I glided in a barge down a sunless stream under the earth till I reached another world of purple twilight, iridescent arbours, and undying roses." -- Ex Oblivion, H.P. Lovecraft
So for Halloween, like every year for the past few years I’ve been reading a fair amount of Lovecraft, and as always I am overwhelmed by the imagery his words invoke in me.
Roses: Brushes created from pictures of roses I received for Valentine’s a few years back
Grove: Taken from a picture of Rhode Island when I visited in 2006.
