Today’s sketches are on lots of little pieces. You’ll see why on Friday. 😉
The Fabulous Dragon is an original sketch, the runes are an interpretation from the Ultima VII pixel graphics, the sword is based loosely on a Denis Loubet illustration, the skeleton is based strongly on a Denis Loubet illustration, and the long serpent is just a silly version of a silver serpent.
No work, no lunch break, no sketch. 😉
Some fan art from my current favorite web comic, Wizard School.
I had a really ridiculous thought while drawing this. I wish I would have thought of it in time to add a sign to the drawing, but have you ever thought that maybe Gordon and/or Finnegan was using the Rune of Honor as a weather stone? The sign would read:
Weather Rune of Honor
| Condition | Forecast |
|---|---|
| Rune is Wet | Rain |
| Rune is Dry | No Rain |
| Rune has Shadow | Sun |
| Rune is White | Snow |
| Rune is Hazy | Fog |
| Rune is Sliding | Wind |
| Rune is Vibrating | Tremor |
| Rune is Glowing | Mages |
| Rune is Gone | Avatar |
I’m admittedly having a pretty shitty day. I wanted to draw something else entirely but my hand didn’t want to stay still. What I *really* wanted to do was pull out a big 24″ x 36″ sheet of paper and attack it with some charcoal. I’m sure this would have made me feel much better. Regardless, this is the drawing that happened today. Take it or leave it.

Another Denis Loubet illustration. I learned today that I already need new pens. It’s a shame. The tips of the Zig pens get too fat too quickly, in my opinion. It’s such a waste of ink.
Anyone out there have any experience with rapidograph pens?
Reference: Ultima Ghost
Another of Denis Loubet’s illustrations, this time with a little interpretation of my own. (The arm movement, not the obvious textual addition)
Interestingly, after I finished drawing the ghost, I gave it a strong outline in preparation to fill the background entirely with black: Progress Shot. I actually liked how graphical and almost graffiti like it looked with this super hefty outline, however, I kept on and filled it in. About halfway through blacking the background, I decided I wanted to put in some lines, but not until after I’d filled in the bottom. Oh well. Plan ahead or carry around some white ink I suppose.

Here there be derp.
Just some mindless self indulgence.
Sometimes I have lunch with friends and don’t get to draw. *Shrug* Life happens.
