Haven't posted on a bit, so here's a quick sketch - Renaii in a new outfit inspired (rather heavily) by MelinoΓ«'s outfit in Hades 2.

Will I use this outfit longer term? Nah, I feel it's way too close in design. But may work on something similar, and use this for quicker fun sketches.

Was deciding if this was worth sharing anywhere, but I also intended on using this account a bit more. Trying to loosen up some with the ink sketches to not send as much time on them as I used to. Did this last night when watching a stream before bed.

Originally wasn't going to share this as I had a lot of issues with the sketch that were frustrating, but figured I could at least post on this account a bit more.

Would people care to see more sketchbook pages like these? I have almost 2-3 full sketchbooks now with a lot of work that I haven't bothered to share, but figured it could be one way to show more on this account.

(These done earlier this year, testing out brush pen sketching)

This was maybe 20min vs 2-3 hours if working more refined, and I can always come back and do a 2nd sketch if wanting it more precise/if I like the idea. May share more of these here, and save the refined sketches for my main account - these are great for ideas exploration.

Tbh, I know it isn't visually the most impressive but I'm really happy with this sketch - it's a bit harder working with a thicker line, but the benefit is that it's way faster because of that.

Was about to sleep, but felt off not having done any traditional sketching today. Quicker sketch to test a pen and ink, draws way stronger lines than I'm used to, but also fun to do more messy sketches like this - doing more another time.

Unedited sketch - arm slightly too long and body too short. Was attempting to have them more leaning over, but it didn't translate well.

Unedited version - just a lot of small things could be better. As a stylization test it at least works, need to find more species of characters to practice. Curious where it'll go from here.

Just enough went iffy with this sketch that I only think I'll be posting it here - unedited version below.

It's like the sketch is engraved and you can feel every line, I love working with traditional for this sort of result.

.... Except now I /really/ want to use this paper because the texture when touching this sketch is absolutely insane to feel.

Testing out some more stylized sketching. I'd be half tempted to offer stuff like this for pickup at TFF, but no clue if anyone would be interested.
If nothing else going to try another headshot sketch with one of my own characters - this paper was cheaper and causing issues with the pen catching.

Tbh, probably looking to go digital for coloring the sketches because it's just a bit easier to color match, and more forgiving I'd something doesn't go quite right. Hoping I can do that over the weekend.

Was going to post this as one of the raffle sketches for @shadoweclipex.bsky.social , but wanting to do something different just because I wasn't happy with certain parts of this sketch.

Also just posting because I haven't had as much free time yet, and wanted to at least have something to share.

Looking to color this sketch in potentially tomorrow, needing to adjust the foreshortening slightly but mostly happy with it .

Quick sketch of a dragon character I've had for awhile now, though their design changed a bit. May throw some color on this one.

Going to need to see how things go, but half considering a late night traditional stream hanging out on a discord call for the new year. Should know by 8pm CST or so!

If nothing else still sharing because I had the wip photos, and while I dislike how the final image turned out I still am a bit happy with the sword idea, and how their legs looked (along with the gesture of the cape). Just definitely not used to going for darker shading and it shows.

Tbh, I see this sketch as a complete failure. May do another one for Ceruledge soon-ish using the same idea, but figured I should still share even if not really that happy with where I stopped.
