Morning sketches with dorks sharing a bed.

(And here's usually the part of comics I get stuck upon. When I don't know where to go with a point. Don't be like me, plan your comics before you draw -3- )

"Do you love mama or papa the best?"

(thank you I like both option, it would have taken me hours and a list of pros and cons to decide.)

Don't know how much of a surprise this will be, but there you go with my favourite DA characters.

UPDATE.

Brownie or Muffin spotted! Today they were showing to a pair of very complacent cats who's boss.

They aren't the brightest squirrel around, I gave them a nut, but I had to repeatedly point out where I put it. As they looked, my finger got booped by a squirrely nose. 🥺

Morning sketches, day 6 🌜

It's Saturday, the plan for today is cleaning up and let me procrastinate. I'm doodling digitally some pages with comfort bisexual disasters in the modern au. The plan is keeping this a sketch and silent, we'll see!

Morning sketches, day 5 🗡️💅

Yesterday was a nope, today a pose study with Priscilla, my #dragonagerook. She turned one, and she's definitely a good character with my favourite romance in the wrong context.

Morning sketches, day 4 🦛

Super quick today, I saw a reel of an artist drawing hippos and I realized I never drew one. This had to be solved asap.

Some recent stuff. There are two things I'm proud of, but they're up on tumblr or other websites, as part of an event.

Morning sketches, day 3 🌞🐙😴

Some Gallus and Ghilly from the latest #DragonAge reverse bang. Just chilling after a harsh day of work and learning about modern uses (and skincare routines).

Breakfast sketching, day 2 🌞🐙

Today it's studies over #ghilan'nain anatomy from #dragonage.
Mother of monsters invented carcinisation (aka: made herself more crab-like).
I had allegedly too much fun.

In a bout of fighting perfectionism, let's share sketches.
Morning studies over dancers, just some anatomy practice.

Kinda niche in my own art lately, but I missed these three.

Kudos if you know them, tell me who's your favourite! <3

Post-battle dawn.

Last of a series of prompts done! Tried some more simple shades + light technique.

Make yourself here: picrew.me/en/image_mak...

& then take this quiz: uquiz.com/quiz/eTdXoU/...

Post the results to see what you'd be like as a fictional character.

(... Flirting with everyone. Wow, I'd be mischaracterized so much!)

In a rare instance of "I have nothing to do this weekend!", I tried some oil pastels I inherited from my mom/got in the years.

The experiment had mixed feelings. I liked the vibrant colours, but they're patchy af, and I'm not a fan of having to wash my desk afterwards.

One good use for orlaisian wine.
Or: when Kieran's asleep and Morrigan is finally back from that neverending ball.

Take the fictional character quiz and post the first four you know - test here: openpsychometrics.org

Yeah, ok, it fits well. Very happy about Peggy Olson, and I am a Lane Kim strong supporter (best character with Mrs Kim and Emily Gilmore, hands down.)
