The High Heart

A drawing of Sir Able, the eponymous hero of The Knight. Not exactly how I pictured him, but good enough for a sketch.

Gene Wolfe is one of those writers who makes me pick up a pencil nearly as soon as I put down the book.

A pint between mutually suspicious friends.

Ourobo


From this doodle:

It's Spelled "Rogue"

I guess I missed that informal deadline I set a while ago, but the time's been put to good use. Here are some of the Lianna-as-rogue sketches I drew in the interim.

Driving Miss Verilyn

Lianna Verilyn is sort of the Elhaym van Houten of my brother's fictional works. She's a perpetually recurring figure who has appeared in nearly every one of his myriad universes. Naturally, there's a D&D version, too.

For Christmas, I thought I'd use my fancy college-learnin' to take another stab at drawing her. This:


was as far as I got before my brother announced that the character had undergone a sudden career change from Warlock to Rogue.

Just as well. File this one under the "unfinished WIP" folder, and expect a new Lianna (hopefully) by the end of next week.

I Guess I Like Knights

Kind of old, but I thought I'd post it before I forgot about it completely.

This is a speedpaint-secretly-yearning-to-be-a-longpaint based on an early scene in Gene Wolfe's The Knight. I started it about a month ago, but I sort of doubt that I'll be working on it anymore.

Bodachan

Wolfe-inspired morning sketch.

P.S. -- Gravity Bone is wonderful.
