My good soldier boy, Mic, and current Tav.

A batch of Magnuses drawn for a live art demo about telling a story with character design that I did last year.

In the lecture portion of the demo, I was trying to demonstrate how to tell a story visually through a character, which is a very complex task, but I broke it down into three core elements: expression, posture/body language, and costume. These were my pre-drawn examples to show how each of those elements can function in isolation, and Magnus served as the example character.

Riel the gharial, a character I created for some digital stickers. Here is his character turnaround, the sticker art, and concept sketches when designing him.

Some sketches of my dracthyr evoker from World of Warcraft.

Teapot the fae dragon for Are on Flight Rising :)

I was invited to be a GOH at Anthro Weekend Utah 2022, which included the task of designing some of the convention merchandise for their theme that year: The Curse of AWUbis. I designed the t shirt, badge lanyard, volunteer & sponsor enamel pins, and water bottle.

Character art commission I offered for a charity art auction fundraiser. :) The character is a Pandaren magic-user

I was introduced to Polyphia yesterday and I've gone completely feral over their music.

Drawings while watching AMC Interview with the Vampire

Some unfinished stuff from last year. I considering submitting a piece for a Legends of Runeterra art contest with a theme of imagining one of the unit characters as Star Guardians. These were outfit explorations I did for the Chempunk Shredder and Baccai Witherclaw, but never took it any further.

Alright US mutuals, if you are interested in, morbidly fascinated by, or anxiously doomscrolling through AI news, including Stable Diffusion, Llama, ChatGPT or Dalle, you need to be aware of this.

The US Copyright Office has submitted a request for comment from the general public. Guidelines can be found on their site, but the gist of it is that they are taking citizen statements on what your views on AI are, and how the Copyright Office should address the admittedly thorny issues in rulings.

Be polite, be succinct, and be honest. They have a list of questions or suggestions, but in truth are looking to get as much data from the general public as possible. If you have links to papers or studies examining the economic impacts of AI, they want them. If you have anecdotal stories of losing commissions, they want them. If you have legal opinions, experience using these tools, or even a layman's perspective of how much human input is required for a piece of work to gain copyright, they want it.

The deadline is Oct 18th and can be submitted via the link in the article. While the regulatory apparatus of the US is largely under sway by corporate interests, this is still the actual, official time for you to directly tell the government what you think and what they should do. Comments can be submitted by individuals or on behalf of organizations. So if you are a small business, say a print shop, you can comment on behalf of the print shop as well.

A sketch of my dracthyr that I coloured up last weekend. I used prismacolour pencils, copic markers, pen and a little bit of acrylic paint to do the spot highlights and edges. Couple of process shots below of building up the colours.
