got inspired by looking at some of those year end wips (by artists way better than me) and decided to post some old sketches i could find bc sometimes i enjoy the sketches more than the final illustration lol. so without further ado:
similar to the one of jon i posted above, here's a really ancient one of arya. don't know where i was going with this one i think it was just a doodle
here's a progress pic of the sansa collage i posted way back that looks godawful to me now but whatever. hashtag behind the scenes
i made a whole bunch of collages that i never got around to posting (i should). here's a progress pic of one of those (as you can see i colour the necessary bits first, then add the cutouts, then the final lineart):
and here's a screenshot i took in the middle of drawing the cat and brienne scene. i actually think i overworked it a little, i liked it better with flats (also the colours look like ass here, they always look more vibrant in procreate but when i export the pics they end up super desaturated. idk why)
NOW to the fun part! so when i first read the books way back i had this notebook that i doodled scenes that i liked or made an impact on me (i guess) in. i might or might not post some in the future - they're simple pencil doodles and super old and certified rubbish but they're still kinda funny because of that lol. in any case here are a few of them in the rough sketch stage:
arya and gendry playfighting at acorn hall, mel visiting davos in jail (LMAO)
jon and ygritte first meeting (you can barely tell what's going on there at all lol). sandor and beric fight
Ok so now it's theon time. in that drawing i made of him with reek!ramsay in acok i initially yassified his crown and had to stop when i remembered it's supposed to be shit.
"crown" (it does look a little like worms at this stage so i guess it's not so ill-fitting after all)
uhh anyway you all know what this next one is about. love this delusional child <3 (might just refine it to make it post-worthy so look forward to that i guess...........)
and finally the Tree drawing but it's just the lineart bc my colouring skills are... lacking
Just what it says on the tin.

The Book of the Sun is pretty much print ready and finished. I'm currently working on setting up a campaign to make this labor of love real. If you are interested in supporting me, please consider signing up! The newsletter is free.
Today I decided to play Fallout in peace and I got this bug again
I don't know why the terminal doesn't want to open this door. I remember in first playthrough everything was fine.
But this bug makes me want to think that Kellogg just broke the terminal and we never got to him haha
the consequence of getting really really invested in something you can’t ramble about is that you just channel all of your energy into drawing for it instead. anyways im making oc art
