I would love to see you do some planars! Or a dryad, or something else that’s all “branch-y”. :D
Planars! Actually, I replayed a little of Planescape: Torment while recovering from a nasty bug last week. (What an awesome game!) I had been thinking some time back to complement the portrait of Fall-From-Grace with one of Dak’kon, whom I...

Lack of workspace
I’ve been very silent since the cover for The Other Half of the Sky I posted in end November. This is due to a house move in mid December (and continuous efforts since then to make the new place somewhat habitable), then having spent a good chunk of the holidays away (together with my good friend euphorbic! ^_^), then my mother having had a knee surgery. Things have somewhat slowed down...

Gregory Manchess - 10 Things I Remember...About... →
almaisan:
To trace or not to trace? Gregory Manchess tells you how to make the most of it.
In short:

Gregory Manchess: Things I Remember...About... →

“Ever hear of the three P’s? Perfection. Procrastination. Paralysis.
[…]
1. Force a deadline. I give myself a deadline. Could be a week, a day, an hour. For example: ‘I must put something on the page by 3 pm or I will get “those feelings” back.’ Feelings of inadequacy. A pit in my gut that suggests that time is passing and I’ve nothing to show for it. Life is...

a stargazer: Updates →
almaisan:
A few changes: I found out that eilidh.tumblr.com became (unless it always were and I had failed to notice before) available, so I switched eilidheln to that username to keep it consistent with my other art accounts. Normally any of you following that blog shouldn’t have trouble with this…
