Recently on the DND campaign the crew accidentally pissed off a very powerful creature, though to be fair it's uncertain if she was mad at them or just taking her frustrations out on them. The second was a fun exercise in using the white ink to represent sea foam. #art #DnD

"Bothered by the Judges" A lot to do today, but i found some rest to make a quick charcoal comic. #art #comics

A quick one panel comic to occupy my hand and mind a bit during a break from DnD prep. #art #comic

A Wizard explains that he may have had something to do with the castle being on fire to a passing knight.

Art from my DnD campaign. The last picture isn't naturally that dark, but i couldn't find another way to remove the glare from my set up with upping the black point in editing. I do like the outcome a lot for that one, and all the rest of them. #art #DnD

"Life in the Dreamscape" Ink I was frustrated after work yesterday so I sat down and went crazy with my color inks. Eventually a vague image started to form, and early today I went in and added the definition. #art

Real late character sketching I have no idea what or if i'll use it, just kinda let my gut guide my hand so to speak. #art

Recent stuff I did from the Fetcher Sketchbook #art #sketchbook

Johnathan Ward @adobecoyote.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Wanted to focus a little on magic and place for these sketches. I wanted magic in the world of Fetcher to be natural so magic sources are seasonal storms, floods, earthquakes, etc. Plus outerspace for a little spice. I might use the Colored pencil look for opening pages of chapters. #art #sketchbook

I was in a slump for a bit where I didn't wanna make much of anything, just been real tired recently. Trying to break that with some water/ink work in the sketchbook #art #sketchbook

Getting back to the sketchbook tonight. Decided to try and emulate the art style of an old webcomic I used to read called Hemlock...or well emulate how I remember they looked. #art #sketchbook #sketch

"Crowd in Color" Colored pencil My sketchbooks sometimes feel stark with all the ink work I do, so it's good to shake it up with some water colors, markers, pastels, or colored pencils like this one. #art #sketchbook

Doing something using all nibs rather than mostly brush. It was anatomy practice to. Think I did poorly. Hand holding the halberd looks wrong, bro looks like he's leaning when he shouldn't cross hatching on coat is not great...i can do better. I'll do a take 2. #art #sketch #sketchbook

Charcoal work in from last night. New sketchbook, breaking it in with a few sketches such as this #art #sketchbook

Since i'm using Roll20 for the campaign I figured i could have some fun with it akd design some if the maps to be almost like screens in a point-and-click adventur game. Even have a few dramatic intro maps like the miners or JRPG style battles like the Ooze battle. #art #illustration #dnd

Johnathan Ward @adobecoyote.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Additional notes: originally Serene would be more grays since she's a knight with red as accent; but I think adding more looks better. Her and Caius' face structure aren't quite what I want them in the main image. Color pencil sketches look closer to what I want.

Reworking character color scheme for Fetcher. Orks evolved from pigs/boars so ditch green for Katie and follow Dungeon Meshi's lead: pinks, greys, etc for orcs. Goblins are from lemurs but i didn't want stark black and white, so grey blues for Goj. Caius and Serene are unchanged. #art #sketchbook

"Afterlife on Winter Waits: first of Set 3" One panel comic Finally getting back to this after a long break. Wish my handwriting was better, but overall happy with the piece. #art #illustration #comic

"The princess' birthday" Marker and pen I meant for this to be a quick comic. The princess sleeping in the foreground and the eindow would be 4 pakels of other servants around the house, but prepping for DnD took up too much time. #art #sketchbook #illustration

A few more art pieces from the campaign that appeared in session 1. Gonna break from making assets since I got just about all I need for session 2. I gotta get back to the Velupus Raptor rough-draft and a one page comic I ment to have done weeks ago. #art #illustration #dnd

Now that I've officially debuted my DnD campaign i can show off some of my favorite art pieces i made for it, and not worry about it accidentally spoiling the players. #art #illustration #DnD

I haven't done one of these four-five panel scenes in a while. Usually they are kinda random in their subject matter but I decided to have this one follow a rough theme of nature contrasted with human settlement. Relaxing overall, though some didn't turn out as i wanted. #art #illustration

A page of four panels featuring different landscape scenes.
1st Panel: the abandoned home and vehicle of a wealthy person, covered in vines.
2nd panel: a cave opening that has been converted to a Makeshift home by an unseen person.
3rd panel: a shot of murky retention pond behind in a neighborhood.
4th panel: an abandoned shopping cart in an overgrown ditch.
