I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

Layouts: hell

Took a bit of a break from drawing, was able to come back with a tree drawing. I found this tree standing with its rock in Cannock Chase Forest. Lots of beautiful ancient oaks still hanging around there and summertime is really beautiful in England, it’s hard not to draw it Graphite on paper

New work! May Day, an ancient oak tree. Drawn in pen and ink, coloured in Procreate #SciArt #treeart #treeartist #oaktree #ancientoak #illustration #penandink #inkdrawing #handdrawn

From an original Story idea by John Reppion, alas, this project never came out. But I loved the idea. #bowman #fantasy #penandink

i picked this up over the weekend and kept grabbing my husbands face to make him look at how stylish and cool the art was

i do a handful of illustrative work in between comics (mostly for ttrpgs) and thank goD because it makes me realize i actually DO love drawing!! who would have thought!! (im sorry to this current book, i do love you, but its so long, i will pull through)

Day 3 of #pleinairpril - i snapped some blurry photos from the car yesterday evening because the fog filling downtown Toronto was so pretty, and chose one to paint today! #gouachepainting on wood panel

The Roun. The first civilization to span the Thousand Moons and now haunting their own ruins. Faction art for Realis. (www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...)

taking a few bird + plant sprig commissions! email [email protected] with your bird, your plant, and any relevant reference

go make them in whatever form you want. you'll definitely do it wrong and badly no matter what advice you take, but theres no such thing as wasted time when you're creating.

Vestina, one of the many moons of Realis. (a new ttrpg which you should back www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...)

Halfmoon, Twaincut. Done for Realis. I just put up a post for my $1 tier talking about the process for Halfmoon Twaincut, as well as a layered PSD of what my layer stack madness looks like if you're at the $5 tier. www.patreon.com/posts/145625...

👏👏👏👏👏 So excited for this!! The way I gasped when I saw the cover @badbucket.bsky.social drew, it looks sooo good. (oh yeah, I also drew a bunch of art that will be in here!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

Forest study! I'm in love with how dense the underbrush is in the pacific northwest, and I want to be able to draw it so bad

hi #PortfolioDay! i'm zack, an illustrator+comic artist who likes to draw horror & fantasy 🦇 i'm available for illustration and comic gigs! #oc #illustration #comics VGen Portfolio Links

OBSCURUM, 64 pgs historical #comic! #comicsky The decades following the fall of the Western Roman Empire, with its tapestry of vicious personalities and battles, could be mistaken for fantasy saga, but it’s #history. Available for free, in full, on itch: illuminatedcomics.itch.io/obscurum-vol-1

Chapter 1 is up! anniversarycomic.neocities.org

anyway, i decided to go full purple pink hair

got about 70-ish pages left of this book to draw and im so...over it 🫠 each page feels monumentally hard, despite them being way easier technically than drawing the 50 horses and men in armour of previous pages.

Some more frames from Hermann

Both are examples of parallel written narrative and illustrations that while not precisely comic-like, still inform and compliment each other to create sequential work (2/?)

THE IRON BARGE⚔️ Book 2 is now in pre-launch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/meg... Check out the preview page for our post-apocalyptic talking animal story!

sent off round 1 of my script+layout for my next book and im so.....excited to start drawing but i must finish this CURRENT book first

And the whole test page! For Elysian Fields: Reborn, a Kickstarter comic.

Can't sing @sambeckdraws.bsky.social's praises enough for her work on Renegade Royale. Love this shot of Tonya facing down twin Vampire Assassins in a spooky church.

after 5 days of no sleep because my son was sick (and then my husband, and then me) i got some fantastic news at the cafe

"That Box We Sit On" A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? One of them lets his imagination run. The other mostly jokes about it. get a physical copy at the link richiepope.com/that-box-we-...

The excellent @sambeckdraws.bsky.social and I have collaborated before, but not on anything we’ve shared with the public. I am so, so excited to have Sam join us to flex her considerable fantasy art chops on Swords Without Master!

Carved in Stone is a comprehensive setting guide for early medieval Pictish society, and as such my work on it was wide and varied and included illustrating real artifacts, speculative penannular brooch designs, and even the animals that would have inhabited their world.
