Printed out the first 15 first unedited draft pages today. The culmination of August's work - almost. There are actually 21 chapters in existence as of this writing. But it felt good to do this and hold pages. #writing #novel #manuscript #firstdraft #oslund

Been slowly assembling my characters to paper, the collection grows. I have worn out Copics to refill level, killed several colored pencils. Destroyed pencils and ink pens. Worth it. My visual library of my characters I am writing about. #illustration #writing #darkfantasy #fantasyart #oslund

I grew up with Tolkien and old school DnD. Now I use my skills and love to help visualize my own fantasy world in pieces as I write about it.

Stayed up way too late to complete both of these. The near kiss is almost better than an actual kiss sometimes. The second has nothing to do with kisses. #writing #illustration #copicmarkers #fantasyart #oslund

CitizenGrim @citizengrim.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Decided to start this one over. The original's hair was bothering me. She is supposed to be wild, but also fairly innocent and gentle underneath that. #writing #illustration #copic #drawing

Of the six or so drawings I have done over the week, I think these two I like the most. Though the second is still a bit WIP. #rpg #tabletop Intent and Consequence #art

Been drawing by pencil again. Slowly getting it back. Unfortunately I also need to get a scanner instead of taking pictures of them in bad lighting and getting bad distortion.
