I did a quick page of Iria meeting Frederik for the first time. Currently captured by bandits that ambushed her carriage, she's contemplating her next steps, when one of the bandits looks to be more than he seems.
#troubadoursdescort
Iria sits in a camp next to a hooded figure. She thinks 'I convinced them not to kill me, at least. How should I proceed?' She watches the figure next to her pick up a jug, open it, and slip something inside before replacing the cork and setting it back on the ground. 'Did he...put something in--Surely not--' The figure, who is revealed to be Frederik, sees her watching, and puts a finger to his lips in a gesture to be silent. Iria turns forward, alarmed. 'Oh. Yes, he did.'

a peaceful afternoon
#troubadoursdescort #oc #art
Art of two original characters. Iria sits at the pool, her feet in the water. Juthiel sits behind her on the wall. He is holding a cup of oil in one hand and has Iria's hair in arm, preparing to apply the oil. They are looking towards each other, smiling. They are surrounded by bushes.

I'm working on some art that is taking a little while. I also love drawing characters inside circles. So while I work on the other art, here is just that. My characters inside circles.
#troubadoursdescort #oc
Art of four of my original characters. They are facing to the side, each one's head inside circles of different colors. The circles and space around them are decorated with varying lines and swirls. Their expressions range from peaceful to distraught.

self-destruction
#troubadoursdescort
Art of a man in an ornate tunic holding a lyre. The lyre's strings are made of his guts and he is destroying those strings. Blood stains his tunic and is falling from his eyes. A cracked circle halo and laurel motif is behind his head.

The group has made it to the big city, just in time for a large festival taking place near the city's iconic Sister Towers. Excitement is palpable, with the exception of Frederik, who is focused on driving and just wants to arrive without incident (me too).
#troubadoursdescort
Four characters in a carriage. Two are riding outside in front and two are looking through the front window from inside. Juthiel has pulled his upper body through the window, accidentally pinning Erinir below him. The dialogue reads: Juthiel: Oh! I've never seen the Sister Towers so close! They're beautiful! And so many tents for the festival! How exciting! Erinir, who is stuck pinned under Juthiel, is calling his name to get his attention so he'll stop crushing him. Iria: Are you excited, Frederik? Frederik: I will be when we get through this overcrowded street.

It was modern AU fashion dress-up time this week with the bards, plus a fun page of interactions. I've been wanting to get more art of their relationships out there, rather than another portrait or something, so I'm happy.
#troubadoursdescort
art of four original characters in a line up, each wearing various fashions. From left to right: Frederik in a stately but casual outfit, Erinir in a boxy, wide-legged outfit with ruffles, Iria in a sleek outfit featuring a large velvet coat, and Juthiel in a shiny, dramatic shirt and plain jeans A black and white sketch page of original characters in various pairings interacting. From left to right: Juthiel and Iria at the beach, Frederik and Juthiel being close and intimate, Erinir and Iria at the opera, Erinir and Frederik sharing a drink together, Erinir reading a book while Juthiel leans on his shoulder, and Frederik and Iria on windy day, trying to keep Frederik's lighter lit and away from the wind.

Wanted to practice comics more, so I sketched a page tonight, featuring OCs Juthiel and Frederik in an intimate moment.
#troubadoursdescort
A sketchy black and white one page comic of my original characters. Panel 1: Frederik kisses Juthiel's hand. Panel 2: Juthiel smiles at him. "So gentle your touch. And your eyes, as silver as the stars." Panel 3: Frederik: "A bit excessive, but-" He smiles awkwardly. Juthiel's hands are reaching toward his face. "With a smile such as that-" Panel 5: A small panel of a close up of Juthiel's thumb touching Frederik's lips. Frederik: ".... I can accept it." The last panel is of the two of them kissing, with melting candles in the foreground.

betrayal
#troubadoursdescort
A fantasy art illustration of my original characters. One man is on the ground wounded, reaching up to his friend. The friend is grabbing the first man's hand, and unbeknownst to him, a hooded figure with sword poised to strike is looming over them. On the sides of the work are filigree-type elements.

Art of two of my characters. Juthiel carries Iria. Iria has brown skin and dark wavy/curly hair. She looks at Juthiel lovingly as she places her hand gently at the side of his face/neck. She's wearing a long blue robe with orange sash and yellow decoration. Juthiel, carrying Iria, one hand placed at the small of her back, stares happily back at her. He has pale, freckled skin and red wavy/curly hair. He wears a puffed-sleeved shirt with a brown embroidered leather overcoat and yellow sash. His large-brimmed hat is falling off of his head.

A rough painting inspired by the mermaid month. A design based off of a bowfin fish.
Art of a merman submerged in a river/swamp environment with cypress roots. He swimming underneath a raised root. His design is based off of a bowfin, with green and brown scales and a rounded fin with a tear in it. His long dark hair is flowing up towards the surface. He is smiling at the viewer.

A focus on those two figures. Of course, it's these guys. Juthiel once again enjoying the flowers while Erinir is annoyed and wants to go home.
A sketch of two of my original characters. One man is looking at the other and smiling, one hand with flowers in it and the other hand on the other man's shoulder. The second man looks irritated as he looks forward.

Lament
#troubadoursdescort
A piece of fantasy art. It is a starry night on a beach with a cliff in the background. The ruins on the cliff are crumbling into the ocean below. In the foreground is a man on his knees in the water on the shore. He is playing a lyre and is looking up to the sky, tears in his eyes. The night colors are blue; the man's clothing is yellow with blue birds and accents.

Of course, characters and a story formed after I made my last piece, so here's another drawing of the castle bard.
Art of my castle bard character. His name is Ambrose. He's standing in front of a window in evening light, holding a book in his left hand and a quill in his right hand. There is a border with flowers on the left and right.

The Knight and the Castle Bard
Fantasy art of a bard in ornate clothing, sitting on a raised chair and holding a lute. Strips of the formal clothing hang down from the chair, one of them being held by a kneeling knight in armor and a cloak. The bard looks down at the knight, smiling, while the knight looks down seriously at the cloth in his hand.
