    After seeing this, I now know what my Bard wants for ...next Christmas!

    We don't know what the bard symbol is going to look like, so I just went with the obvious clarsach and bodhran combo (though she's playing a small oud)

    A bit late but I really like Isonis' Sword!  That seems like one that would go well with a Dark Myr.  And that painting with the war wizard battle against Ossari is... muah! *Chef's kiss*

    I love these, Crow! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading your Pantheon fan-lore as well, when I start diving into the Pantheon lore here soon as I get pumped up for Alpha and beyond.

    On another note, if you'd like another subject for you to practice your art on, I would love to have a Pantheon themed avatar for my forum profile pic! If I could convince you to commision for me an original work of yours to serve as my avatar, I'd be eternally humbled and grateful! I'm looking for something in the Ranger/Druid realm for it, so I feel like it would be right up your alley! Either way, thanks for these artworks for us to enjoy! I've enjoyed browsing them immensely.

    Hello! I'm happy that you enjoy my work and learning process. But I don't think I'm comfortable with taking commisions at this stage. Practicing art is one of those things that really kind of keeps me going these days, and I'm pushing myself hard just to get better. But it doesn't feel like a chore or obligation because I'm painting things from stories and that passion motivates me and makes it fun, so I keep going. I'm afraid of messing with that feeling right now :)

    I did this one a while back, a creature that several characters encounter in Part Three.

    I never liked the dull brown background I made for the Safranin art before, so I made a new background from an upcoming scene.

    I did some more work on this one. This is the image for Chapter 20, which is going up next week.

    My highly tuned psychic powers tell me that Crowsinger will be painting more lightning in the not too distant future :)

    Thanks!

    After I finish this Pantheon novel... which was supposed to be like 12 chapters and has turned into twice that... I'm going back to pencil sketching for a while to work on drawing. I'll probaby also be trying to work on watercolors. That's my plan for the rest of the year, anyway.

    I'll get to that lightning someday, I'm sure.

    The Fog!!

    There's a strong sense of trepidation in this scene. If I was part of the group but that wolf was NOT, I'd be getting very nervous right about now.

     

    Geez, I'm jonesing to play Pantheon!

    I think this is going to be the last one for a while. I wanted to use this story that turned into a novel somehow to practice art, and it's been a wild ride. I've learned a lot. But I'm thinking the story ends with Chapter 23, so I have enough images.

    What I want to do for the rest of the year and beyond is go back to grinding levels in figure drawing and face drawing. What I've been doing is painting faces with shapes and moving eyes etc around until I like how they look, but I need to get better at just sketching faces and figures in a sketchbook.

    I also want to work on watercolor a lot more, just landscapes and scenes without quite the focus on people that a lot of these have. This last painting is kind of the direction I want to go with painting for a while.

    We'll all be waiting patiently whenever you have more to post.

     

    At least until Alpha gets here :) When that happens, 'The Wild's End Bunch' will be looking for a certain Druid....
