Tóraíocht Sketch Day 24: Butterfly

I've been super stressed this week and didnt think I'd have it in me to finish anything, but I manged to finally get this piece done and I'm very proud of how it turned out 😭💖

Fanart of the Boohag from the South of Midnight comic (I just adore her design sm 😭)

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 23: Deception

Can you spot the deception? 👀 I spent much longer on this then I meant to, I was trying to take care of my wrist 😅 I had an idea of the Cheshire Cat in mind for this, with an old Irish road sign that was just didn't make sense geographically

Vampire Thorn 🧛🏻‍♀️ This is sort of a redraw from last year when I drew Vampire Thorn, I felt I could do a better job this time around and I think I've achieved that 😌

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 22: Creature

Got a bad dose of the flu this week and my wrist was in a good deal of pain, so I had to take a small break before I could finish this piece, but it's finally dooooone! #toraiocht

I was sick there yesterday so obviously to recover I'm finishing this small painting of Elvira Clancy from Obituary 💀 Also, I binged all of S2 and it's even better then the first season, I love this lady, she gets herself into such messes and then waltzes her way out 😂 #obituaryrte #obituary

I LOOOOVE Tóraíocht's concept art for the Puca (a shapeshifter and sort of trickster from Irish folklore), I think it's such a fun design that I wanted to do up a drawing so I could get into how to tackle it in my own way before fully committing to the other illustration I'm doing 👀 #toraiocht

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 21: Sword

Look, did I get inspired by two separate images, one that had orange lighting and blue shadows and one with sun shaped lighting on the face and decide I wanted to apply that to Lugh? Yes, because I'm a sucker for symbolism 👀

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 20: Fairytale

As you can see, I went with Snow White as inspiration for this 👀 I just thought it'd be slightly amusing to have Liath be Snow White, because I could defo see her munching on a poison apple by mistake and Branna having to save her 😂

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 19: Mother

I told you all there would be tears 😭

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 18: Fox

A simpler idea today (a floofy lil guy with an itch), but I really wanted to focus on testing out gouache brushes and texture for this ✨

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 17: Lost

I got way too in the zone and literally blacked out until the piece was finished 💀

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 15 and 16: Girl and Beast

Did not think I would get this done, but I surprised myself 🤣

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 14: Love

(we're all going to pretend I did not reupload this on my lunch break because the rendering on Liath's face was bothering me 👀) #toraiocht

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 13: History

Yeeeeah, safe to say I'm doubly late, but I do feel it was worth it in the end 👀 Very happy with how this turned out, I really wanted to do something looking at Liath being under pressure from the expectations of her family and their lineage of being Knights ⚔️

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 12: Stone

I imagine when you do wake up a sleeping land goddess she probably does yawn in your face when you're talking to her 😂

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 11: Deity

I did not think I'd get this done, but I've given into the messy painting and I think it's shorten my renderinf time a bit 😅😂 (It's so nice to do a proper painting again 😭) Aoife meeting Ériu on her journey 🌱

#toraiochtsketch25 #toraiocht

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 10: Map

Safe to say Liath did in fact catch up to the pumpkin man 🤣 (Second slide just for reference incase a few others didn't see yesterday's post about this 😂)

#toraiochtsketch25 #toraiocht #digitalart #sketchchallenge

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 9: Bus

I just feel these two have beef and I find this idea of Liath chasing after the bus with the pumpkin man inside so funny 🤣

#toraiochtsketch25 #toraiocht #digitalart #sketchchallenge

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 8: Druid

I based this quick sketch on Bodhmall, a druidess from Irish mythology. Fun fact about Bodhmall, Liath is described as her partner in some of the stories, so I thought it'd be funny to do the second sketch based on Liath's current partner and her ex

Not a part of the prompt list for Day 8, but just a quick sketch of the Rí, because who doesn't love a pretty boy that can transform into a raven beast? 👀 A lot of us, if Howl's fan base is anything to go by 🤣

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 7: Backpack

As someone who did own a bag like this, the very thing you were looking would be at the bottom of the bag so you'd need to take half of it out to find it 💀 Twas a struggle. Also, shout out to anyone that also had the Aisling copies, core Irish primary school memory

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 6: Adventure

Since I had a bit of time today, I wanted to try out a portal. I do really like the colours and lighting on Branna, but I do think I could have tried something a bit different on the rest of them 😅 Ah well, you can't know something won't work until you try 🤣

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 5: Heroine

Look, Arthur probably had more trouble with the sword in the stone then he told people he did 👀 A funny moment of bonding between Aoife and her dog, a heroine effort to get that sword out 🤣

#toraiochtsketch25 #toraiocht

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 4: Magic

Can you tell I love painting water? 👀 I had a bigger idea for this, but I learned my lesson from yesterday and decided to go smaller and I think it paid off, because I got more of chance to focus on poses and lighting ✨

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 3: Forest

I think I had bigger notions for this then time allowed 😂 I liked the idea of the trees in a forest having faces and being a sort of ominous presence behind them. If I was to do it again, I'd try out a few different ideas for it before diving in

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 2: Knight

I had a lot of fun with some of the posing for this, even if the hound pose is questionable at best, but we'll all kindly ignore that 👀

#toraiochtsketch25

Tóraíocht Sketch Day 1: Hound

Look folks, I'm going to be honest with you, I'm out of my comfort zone here doing this sketchier, looser style so hang on tight as I figure this out 😅

#toraiochtsketch25 #toraiocht #digitalart #sketchchallenge

I wanted to get this done for the release day but then I got busy 💀 But better late then never! I absolutely LOOOOVEEEED the pilot like I hoped I would, the mystery, suspense and just general vibes of 'something is very wrong here' is absolutely immaculate 👌

Swordtember ⚔️ Concealed

It's been a while since I've done Swordtember because I've been pretty busy, but I wanted to do a few pieces for it 🌱
