So guess who's working on their second card

These are two early sketches of possible designs:

Just from the pictures, I'd have to pick the second. Though both are pretty goddamn awesome.

[Talvieno]

Yeah, the second (though both are cool). I think your strength is in landscapes. (Doesn't mean you should give up on everything else, though - just practice it, you know, all that jazz.)

[Jopax]

I think that's atleast partially because  I personally liked the idea of the second one more so I gave a bit more time to it. And it's generally more interesting and has more narrative potential. The first one is just "magikbooklel" while the second gives quite a lot of questions, and I love me my questions

That dripping water from it really gives a great hovering impression, as if it has only recently popped out of the lake all like "HEY GUYS WHAT'S GOING ON UP HERE?". It's quite obvious that you were more inspired for the second one, really. :v

also last thing of my tiny commission backlog for now

i am pleased with the given idea and also pleased with how it turned out

dat signature, man

[Araph]

Comissions?! Shook be goin' places, yo

Seriously, grats on being able to monetize your art! Is good. Also, you've improved a ton since way back when.

<oldman>Why, I remember back when you first posted saying you'd got a tablet...</oldman>

dat signature, man

You mean that snake with a sword? 

[Shook]

Technically it's a fartsy bastardization of my first name ("Søren", i'd be surprised if you could pick out more than an S and Ø in that signature), but i think i like the "snake with a sword" explanation better, on the basis of it being totally viable and in character for me. :v (i also tried to give it eyes and eyebrows, but that took more effort than i care to spend on what is supposed to be a super fast signature)

Thanks mate, and all ye other mateys for yer kind words and maybe thoughts although i can't read your minds. <3
Hopefully it's the baby steps to something bigger, although frankly, it's also pretty neat to not have a million things that need doing. Studying and Angry Laser Space are already taking a lot of attention. :v

It's rather quaint though, in the past year or so, the only thing that has changed noticably is the fact that i found the new brush in Krita, which made quite a noticable change due to it being... Well, different from the fat pencil in Paint. Beyond that though, there's surprisingly little difference to be found between now and then.

i would write/post more now but i am in very legitimate danger of falling asleep on my laptop so yeah beep boop

A rado segment from a story I was working on. I'm changing a significant portion of the story, so I have no idea I'll end up using thi bit, but I figured I'd share it anyway.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gisela hurdled through the empty void of space, suspended on a beam of incandescent sunlight. Her golden-white wings spread as far as she could stretch them, to pick up every stray photon, and make her journey just a moment shorter. Her eyes scanned the vast expanse of stars ahead of her, and fixed again upon the bright dot of Thalia Major.
How long had she been at this duty? Nearly seventy years now. She shivered in remembrance. Though her frame was as young as the day she ascended, she swore she felt the weight of every year.
Her eyes focused more carefully on her distant destination, crunching the numbers as she had been taught. Three more days. She was making good time, then. A smile lit up her face. Soon, she’d reach the edge of the system, and begin decelerating from her unfathomable worldcrossing pace. Almost there, she thought blissfully.
At the edge of the system she sought, another force entirely was arriving. From a hole in space blacker by far than mere emptiness, Demons poured out. They were a terrible sight, with their skin mottled black and red, studded by the occasional flash of white bone. Their flesh was warped and twisted, with cruel hooks and sharp ridges reaching out to snag and tear anything that got close. Their gibbering howls were horrifying, even through the cold void of space.

Before the first demon had so much as exited their dark rift, alarms were ringing across the system. Alerts were sent out to nearby systems, battalions were rallied, defensive beams were aligned, civilians were escorted to safety. Thalia Major prepared for battle.
This commotion wa not lost upon Gisela. She beheld the demons with surprise, and then alarm. Thalia Major was neither a frontier world, used to the frequent assaults, nor an inner bastion, hardened over the centuries in expectation of an inevitable siege. Their defenders, though vigilant, would not be prepared for an attack of this magnitude. They would not be able to muster their forces in time to defend against this threat. The demons would overrun them, and would deal a critical blow to the world’s defenses. Millions would die before they could be repelled.

But there might be a way.

She was close enough to intercept the demons. She could fight them. She could stall them long enough for the defenders to prepare a counter attack.

This way, only she would die.
It took her only a moment to make her decision. Face set, she adjusted the trim of her wings to bring her path about, out of the sunlight - into the darkness. The demons, for their part, quickly began to sort themselves out, and it wasn’t long before one of them sighted her with a shout of glee.

[ShadowHammer]

Well done, Shook! Hearty felicitations!

In a strange coincidence, I made a couple of drawings that relate eerily closely to Angle's story:

I'm not sure whether or not it was good to cross-post this so much.

[Spehss _]

Haven't drawn in a while.

So, I uh, meant to be sketching a semi-realistic sketch to practice the human figure and proportions. Instead I branched off and made a surreal-horror sketch after I accidentally made the starting line of her nose too big. I like where it went from there.

The black lines and blue planning lines are on the same layer, otherwise I would've cleaned it up more before saving it. Don't feel like redrawing the black lines in a new layer.

[WillowLuman]

Sometimes leaving planning lines in can add a certain quality to a digital sketch, makes it look like it has more detail/rudimentary shading.
