Sketchbook: Trust Me!

Sketchbook: Time to move on...

A couple more head shots of a dragon character I'm working on. I think it's about time I moved on to sketching out the rest of him.

Sketchbook: Someone isn't happy

One of my subjects (Slack Wyrm) letting me know that he isn't pleased over my prolonged absence; it's been a few weeks since my last sketchbook entry here at home (I keep another at work). I've only been at this since the end of May but each new sketch feels more fulfilling than the last.

Sketchbook: More Scribbles

Been at it for a couple months now...

Sketches: Some Recent Work

One from the sketchbook I did last week and a larger practice sketch of a dragon based character I'm working on developing that I started on today.

Sketchbook: Lines On Paper

Sometimes striking that first mark is the hardest part.

Sketchbook: Libertas

Took a break from sketching to immerse myself in some CG over the long holiday weekend. This was my first sketchbook entry since the 2nd.

CG: The Return

The Kingdom of Seven Altars - #1 - The Return

The old wizard could scarcely believe his ears; the ravens had urgent news – something unusual was stirring at Mountaintop. Knowing history as he did, this could certainly only mean one thing! There was no time to waste.

Isolated and virtually inaccessible, the temple at Mountaintop, a relic of days long passed has stood in ruin for millennia and he could not recall the last time anyone had reason to journey there. A hearty three suns journey from the nearest outpost to reach the summit and there it was before his eyes as plain as day amidst the rubble…

A dragon’s egg!

Cermryael at one time was well known for its sacred Dragon Altars. Seven in all scattered throughout the kingdom. And any newly summoned dragons would appear at one of these Divine Altars, as eggs. Which were then carefully guarded and tended until they were ready to hatch.

But the last was ages ago. So long ago in fact that today dragons are only found in myth and legend. Until now. Now for the first time in eons it would appear that Dragons were returning to Cermryael!

Sketchbook: Scribbles From The Goofy Zone

Some recent pages from the sketchbook...

Sketch: In Flight

My second practice sketch, finished up today. This was my first attempt at shading and I enjoyed seeing the difference it can make. Ah, so much to learn.

Sketchbook: Slack Wyrm fan art

Dragons tend to get a bit fussy when it comes to the manner in which they are portrayed in artwork! So you best mind you do not try their patience and do your very best work.

Had a bit of fun with this fan art sketch inspired by the online comic Slack Wyrm.

Sketchbook: "We've been waiting"

When you crack open the door the slightest little bit and discover an entire world waiting for you. A practice piece from the sketchbook done at the end of the workday Friday.

Sketch: dragon bust

May 29th. Picked up a pencil and began drawing again for the first time since high school. It's just a practice piece but it's the most substantial drawing I have ever done.

edit: Sunday, June 16th. Calling it finished. Silvertone. The dragon.
