I know his face is too long - no time to fix it. Learning experience.]]>For the Badgers by Firielurn:uuid:167f8893-dfd4-1fd5-e74d-2c6c76b74a682017-05-22T04:58:30-07:00A Harry Potter Hufflepuff House tribute using Trufflehunter from C.S. Lewis's Prince Caspian.

I couldn't quite fit it onto my scanner so I guess this is a preview and I can upload the proper version later?
Trees aren't my best but I'm still mostly pleased.]]>The Lady's Mirror by Firielurn:uuid:a2b1f109-09ab-14d4-8d2f-c2da52fdc31c2017-04-25T02:23:35-07:00A take on The Lady of Shalott, from the Arthur stories (and Tennyson's poem, among other media since then).

Just a pile of little things that caught my eye (or sometimes mind).]]>Running Waters by Firielurn:uuid:a5b7ef1d-ddca-e34d-238a-115a251a07412017-03-30T02:42:48-07:00...I didn't start out to make this a pun.]]>Young Phoenix by Firielurn:uuid:04d8d76f-a4fe-39d6-9605-c36d96d2c55e2017-03-16T20:10:19-07:00Proud of this girl. <3
Already have a buyer for the original actually - yay! I'll hopefully also be making up some prints for fun and profit.]]>Three in Charn by Firielurn:uuid:12ddd722-fafd-f752-a02b-efdb8ff9cac72017-03-10T14:57:23-08:00Tried to paint Digory, Polly, and the Empress Jadis in the ruins of Charn.]]>C's Wolf by Firielurn:uuid:ce48aa8d-3903-34bb-ab2c-6cacdecf96f62017-03-04T03:25:52-08:00I promised a young friend a werewolf-lady.]]>Alphys sketch by Firielurn:uuid:a76eebf8-57e7-81a5-6066-9bf7f025b73e2017-02-26T05:26:09-08:00I was helping babysit some kids tonight and one of the girls has gone Undertale-crazy, and asked me to try to draw one of the characters without peeking at ref. I chose Alphys because I thought she was my best bet for somebody I could get out of my head.
Cheap markers and crayons.]]>charn1 by Firielurn:uuid:03db78eb-86da-6db3-e593-f690983acbf12017-02-21T03:53:35-08:00WIP of the Charn painting - it might be due Wednesday, so, long way to go. But I think it's coming together ok so far. :) All the major stuff's blocked in it's just building on more color and texture at this point - maybe add some more detail to the wall carvings, too, depending on time constraints. Could be fun. :)
Using a bunch of refs to help with the three figures in the middle but except for loosely basing the griffin statue on a Persian one most of the stuff around them is very ad-libbed.]]>charn - concept by Firielurn:uuid:1cd27a6c-4928-0c72-3938-f6fa3f64e2e82017-02-18T03:50:14-08:00Launching another big one. Wish me luck. ;)]]>Duck Park by Firielurn:uuid:def4f294-c732-7e29-d1c6-b4064a781a132017-02-16T03:31:08-08:00An impressionistic acrylic painting of the pond at the park near our public library - we always called it "The Duck Park" growing up. :)
It's a little smaller resolution than I originally meant it to be, because of issues converting it from a cell phone photo, but I figure I can still post it and get a higher-rez version for myself later?]]>L'Engle Tribute by Firielurn:uuid:a1fce111-3fe1-e515-fbf4-31951ac881952017-02-10T01:52:40-08:00I had a go at a Madeleine L’Engle tribute in acrylic paints. It... didn’t wind up looking quite like my ref photo, but it’s closer than it was when I started? ;) Surrounding bits are mostly from the first two in the Time Quartet and A Ring of Endless Light. :)
Reference for herself was a kind of low-res scan of a biography cover - it was the only color ref I could get for her with my current resources. I think everything else got changes enough from the original references not to be too much trouble.]]>LEngle Progress3 by Firielurn:uuid:b65c8904-1083-a0fb-fdef-5d752f0515282017-01-26T20:15:53-08:00Still plugging along slowly. I HAD been hoping I'd wrap it up yesterday, but apparently that was too optimistic. :p]]>LEngle progress2 by Firielurn:uuid:951ffedf-52aa-a25f-3879-bf9719c7b51c2017-01-24T10:38:43-08:00Working on building up my colors.]]>LEngle progress by Firielurn:uuid:4613b5ce-1a21-5232-fef8-0c03254eb5682017-01-22T08:27:37-08:00Got a long way to go yet, but starting to look like a person.]]>sketchpage 17 by Firielurn:uuid:fb957e5c-b170-4657-2b2c-e42924f748e32017-01-17T01:36:12-08:00Sketchdump - mostly previously-uploaded-Inktober, but some bits added to the page since then.
(top left to bottom right): bit of church architecture, a random pattern, a British jay-bird, the edge of a restaurant table, and Undertale-inspired scene, my first try at Dutch from Killjoys, a hanging lantern, and a snake-tailed phoenix]]>LEngle preliminary by Firielurn:uuid:b67dec4e-f797-9bc1-649a-3aa2f8428f302017-01-15T03:09:15-08:00preliminary/blocking sketch for my first painting assignment of the semester - gonna be doing a tribute to one of my favorite writers, Madeleine L'Engle, with visual references to some of her books]]>
