"Daniel Keene" from the Silo tv/book series

Couldn't resist sketching after S3's finale! I had Ashley Zukerman (Daniel's actor) in mind, but this is another drawing from imagination/memory practice, so likeness won't be a full match - hopefully the "feeling" of the character is there!

#art #sketch
Portrait painting of "Daniel Keene" from the Silo series. It shows the character with slicked-back hair, surrounded by a double-helix, a faint view of the silo's central pillar. A pez dispenser topped with a yellow duck is in the foreground.

Had a few conversations this month where "The Endless Forest" came up, which reminded me of this older artwork - it's two of my duskbirds drawn in an Endless Forest-inspired way, with the symbols on the forehead and halo

Does anyone remember that game? Did you play it?

Completely forgot about this Gorrik sketch-painting I drew at the end of August

I was clearing my IG as I saw I had the archive function now (I don't know if I was part of some A/B test, but I didn't have that for a while) - forgot I once drew this sketch of Eir!

This one slipped through the cracks for my "gw2 art compilation," as it was unfinished

#gw2 #art #sketch
Loosely-drawn portrait painting of Eir Stegalkin from Guild Wars 2.

"All these years later and I still hear its echoes in my head."

"Solitary Sylvari" from The Festival of the Four Winds

2026 paintover warm-up of my 2018 painting to celebrate the festival going live today!

Feel like sharing one of my "tengu revenant" paintings from a while ago

The rev armor is so fun for me to draw on anthro bodies especially, haha, whether charr or tengu. I suspect perhaps because they might have designed it with Rytlock in mind first

Oh I'm happy you're fond of my charr mes, thank you :D I miss when I could play her more often!

This is my other favorite portrait of her. I painted it a while after the "loose" painting, to practice a more "tightly-painted" painting.

#GuildWars2 #GW2 #charr #anthro #art
Side-profile portrait of my charr mesmer / chronomancer from Guild Wars 2. She wears headgear made from binds which cover her neck and eyes, accented with gold ornamentation.

I was reminded of my charr mesmer - here she is! A looser painting that I think was the first time I tried drawing her.

Chronomancer, of course ;D

Haha, maybe this is fun to see

First time I drew my charr guard original main >>> one of the first times I drew my sylvari necro main after he forcibly stole me away from my beloved charr

(I will always love charr, sylvari just coiled their tendrils into me)

#GuildWars2 #GW2 #charr #sylvari #art
Painting crop of a charr guardian from a side-profile, portrait view. She has light fur with light orange accents, with a light orange mane and orange eyes. She's wearing heavy plate armor. Painting crop of a sylvari from Guild Wars 2. He has birch-toned skin with light green fronds for hair. His sleeve is torn, and he licks glowing sap from between the torn cloth.

Added more to the silly practice drawing from yesterday

Trahearne with a Leafeon, after realizing my longtime-favorite Eeveelution foretold my eventual succumbing to sylvari, despite my best intentions as a charr main initially

"Demon King Ganondorf"

Remembered I have one more Ganondorf drawing from that time I can share :D

Slightly more recent painting of Ganondorf compared to the Sheik one, though still a bit older at this point

I believe I drew this when Tears of the Kingdom was announced. I, like many others, was immediately enamored with Ganondorf's design reveal :D

Ancient drawing of Sheik from The Legend of Zelda.

The Ocarina of Time remake reminded me of this one, I always loved Sheik's design - I'm so curious to see how they'll update the character in the remake!

Timelapse in replies!

Thinking about sharing some art I also like doing, but that doesn't really fit my other account. Maybe this is a good place for them?

I forgot I drew this until seeing it again yesterday - if only I saw it in time for Star Wars day!

Guild Wars 2 commission (detail close-ups) (2022)

One of my personal favorites! I loved painting this one. :D This painting was also printed by the client, and I love how it printed - I'll share photos in replies later!

Curious in trying this out if you have room, thank you for offering and congrats!

I still love this artwork so much! It's so beautiful, I had to participate :D

Here's a charr Guild Wars 2 commission I drew a while back, followed by my Daggerheart Infernis, and then my DnD Tiefling which was the origin of my Infernis!

Thanks and congrats! :D
