A moody Rekhart confides in Secret. #fantasyart #b&wart #tradart #noai #art #inksketch #ocsky Seventeen and fully armed Swear you swore I'd see no harm Swear I swore you'd see no harm I did not create this mess Yet I live with no address I have only known the fear But you won't find cowards here

A young dwarf named Rekhart stands with his back to the viewer. His bangs obscure his eyes. He wags a disapproving figure to a baffled snake he holds in the opposite hand.

The primary fantasy "races" that the story will feature are #dwarves (obviously), humans, and #gnomes. The gnomes will play the smallest role, but still very important. I donno why I drew them all looking up -- I guess because they're short. #tradart #worldbuilding #b&wart #inksketch #fantasyart

three headshots of gnomes, in clockwise order:
top: a pensive looking lady gnome with wild black hair and hooped earrings; she wears a simple diadem.
middle-right: a confused-looking mister gnome wearing a bowler hat with a feather and a high-collared jacket; "bard" is written next to his face
middle-left: a skeptical-looking lady gnome, elderly, wearing a witch hat with feathers and grass poking out of its decorative belt buckle. "wizard" is written next to her face.

First attempt at #art in a few weeks, just trying to shake off cobwebs. Average #dwarf peasant, worrying about something. Whoever he is, he's got a lot goin' on. Pose reference from @trueref.bsky.social, minor adjustments in @inkscape.org #fantasyart #b&wart #tradart #ocsky #noai

Black-and-white sketch of a dwarf in robes and toe-boots. He wears a black feathered cap with winged edges. He looks up toward the ceiling with a concerned look on his face.

I've started working on inking sketched pages out of order just to keep the momentum. I find it's easier to go back and do the "boring" parts (backgrounds, shadows, etc) during slower moments when I just need to dissociate. Will it work out? We'll see! #wip #comic #b&wart #tradart #art #fantasyart

A young boy in a hooded cloak side-eyes the viewer. Another view of him from behind reveals the cloak is fringed and knee-length.

#wip #comic #b&wart #tradart #fantasyart Sneak peek at page 5. Almost halfway done with the inks on this page.

Life events put me far behind where I wanted to be by August, but slow doesn't mean stopped. Here's a sneak peek at what you can look forward to in the Tower Under the Hill~~ Bookmark towerunderthehill.thecomicseries.com #wip #comic #fantasyart #tradart #b&wart #art #dwarf #fantasy #webcomic

A sketchbook lays on top of an open art portfolio. The sketchbook shows a half-inked drawing of an angry looking dwarf king with a bajillion braids holding an art staff. Two black and white comic pages are visible in the open portfolio. They include images of a masked woman, a dwarf in armor, and three young boys.

#finished Find someone who looks at you the way Gardrek looks at Bariddoir. #fantasyart #b&wart #tradart #penandink #ocsky

Two male dwarves pressing their faces together romantically. One wears spectacles and has dark, curly facial hair, with the rest of his hair pulled back in a loose manbun. The other has pale, straight hair and wears a simple crown with an eight-point star as its main adornment. Both dwarves have braided mustaches. The image is in black and white.

Nothing more relaxing on a Sunday night than sketching the texture and details into dwarven beards. #wip #detail #zoom #crosshatch #b&wart #art #pensketch #fantasyart

Detailed zoom of two male dwarves pressing their faces together romantically. One wears spectacles and has dark, curly facial hair. The other has pale, straight hair and wears a crown. Both have braided mustaches. The artwork is only partially inked over a pencil sketch.

No new art, but I've been working on the comic as I can. Here's a throwback Clint Eastwood, circa 2008. Reference was a photo from Time magazine according to my notes, no other deets. More for practice than love for Eastwood. #portrait #pencil #sketch #art #tradart #b&wart

Pencil sketch of the actor Clint Eastwood. The notes say "Clint Eastwood, Time 15 Dec 2008."

Final #art. Inspired by @trueref.bsky.social for #TrueRefDT006. Music to draw by: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdfY... War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions Generals order their soldiers to kill And to fight for a cause they have long ago forgotten #tradart #b&wart #fantasyart #dwarf #warriorart

Regora Firstdaughter, former Minister of Battles, Upriser and Agitator. She is a stout dwarf with short hair and mutton chops, wearing layered clothing secured by a belt. She is missing her armored chestpiece and shoulder guards, but still wears her groin protector, spiked bots, and armguards. Her mace rests loosely in her left hand. Regora is seated upon some rocks, gazing up to her right (the viewer's left).

Concept #art for a new oc in my head. Bariddoir Duskmaster, Minister of Works, beloved of the Crown Prince Gardrek. Yes, the frogs AND the dwarves are turning gay. #fantasy #fantasyart #art #b&wart #doodle #tradart #noai #inksketch

Black and white ink sketch. A male, dark-haired dwarf. He has a long beard with two braids. The rest of his hair has been pulled back into a loose top-bun. He wears spectacles and a cape with heavy shoulder adornments. His long-sleeve shirt is embroidered with gears.

finished. I'm "ok" with it. there's a certain scene from the season 2 finale that everyone on the internet wanted to draw (and with good reason), but I wanted to draw the moment afterward. #nospoilers #goodomens #goodomens2 #b&wart #blackandwhite #lineart #illustration #art #fanart #pen

A black-and-white illustration of Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens as played by David Tennant and Michael Sheen, respectively. They don't look happy with one another. The words "I forgive you" fill the background, a nod to the season 2 finale.

Probably should have focused on comics, but did #fanart instead. I need the practice working from references, and Michael Sheen is a treasure. #wip #goodomens #terrypratchett #b&wart #art

I'm super excited about this comic, you guys ... Sneak peak at young crown prince Gardrek and his younger brother Rekhart. You'll be meeting them soon after the rebellion, when times are troubled but not yet too dire. #comic #b&wart #art #wip #comicpanel #penandink #ocsky #noai #dwarf #fantasyart
