Some drawing I did today. I am reading The Lord of the Rings at the moment (and this time I intend to finish it...) I will probably do more of these as I progress through the books! #fanart #lotr #tolkein #illustration #art #frodo #gandalf

An illustration of Frodo and Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings, in Bag End. Frodo is on the left, holding an envelope; Gandalf is on the right, blowing rings with his pipe smoke. A large smoke ring rests in the middle of the frame, circling the front door to Bag End. A line of Dwarven runes borders the image on the top and bottom. Underneath all the imagery is the following text: ‘This is the One Ring that he lost many ages ago, to the great weakening of his power. He greatly desires it — but he must not get it.’

a more recent piece from last year. love the spot blacks on this one but the line art's a bit sterile - trying to break that habit! could also definitely have done with some bloom, specular highlights etc. may revisit! #fanart #art #illustration #design #metroid #samus #nintendo #gaming

Some more laser-cut minis from my university days: a trio of mimics! #oc #art #dnd #ttrpg #rpg

Artwork (key colour line with bold colour fills and hard shading) of three mimics (monsters from Dungeons and Dragons lore). They each have a single green eye and a slobbering purple maw, sticky with slobber and lined with razor-sharp teeth. On the left is a mimic disguised as a chair, rearing up its front likes like a horse, and the backrest is opened like a mouth. In the centre is a wooden chest gilded in gold, its lid opened up like a mouth as in the traditional depiciton of a mimic. On the right is a table, rearing up slightly, an enormous pink tongue lolling out of its underside, in which can be seen another wide mouth.

A photograph of three tabletop miniatures made of cut acrylic standees, featuring 2D artwork of mimics (described in the other image in this post). The miniatures are presented on a dungeon tile of a grassy clearing. In the background is a large orange candle and a pair of sunglasses.

Brand new piece! I'm not sure if the colour works 🤷 (I might try some other options) but I wanted it to be bold. my linework can be quite stiff usually, so I tried to loosen that up a bit too (which I think paid off!) #fanart #art #illustration #design #doctorwho

An illustration of David Tennant as the 10th Doctor. He is staring into the "camera" with an intense expression and holding out his left hand in a dynamic pose. The artwork is coloured in an abstract way - yellow for the highlights, pink for midtones, a red/deeper pink for the darker midtones and maroon for the shadow. The backdrop is a bright/deal blue with a halftone pattern and tiny pinpricks of white stars.

Some goblin minis I designed & made while I was at university - looking a bit worn & well-loved today. Sadly I don't have access to a laser cutter now, otherwise I'd have tried making more! #oc #art #dnd #ttrpg #rpg

Artwork (key colour line with bold colour fills and hard shading) of three green-skin goblins clad in red. They are brandishing worn, angular scimitars and wooden shields bordered with metal. The goblins each have a single tuft of orange hair in a ponytail; the left goblin's hair is orange, the centre goblin's is blue, and the right goblin's is pink.

commission from a few years ago - a DnD character portrait as a secret Santa gift. I don’t remember anything about this guy other than he’s a halfling barbarian 😅 no relation to another certain Grog as far as I’m aware #oc #art #dnd

A colour illustration of a fantasy character with black line work. A male halfling dressed in rough leather armour holds a small handaxe aloft in his right hand, his mouth open as if mid-warcry. On his feet are boots fashioned from wolves’ paws and he wears the pelt from a wolf’s head over his own as a hat. The image is captioned “GROGG.”

I've been teaching myself 3D modeling on Fridays. Started with a basic cheeseburger, then every week I've added something to it, until... well #oc #art #3dart #3D #3dmodeling #blender

Taking it waaaay back with this one - ancient egyptian gods Set and Osiris, for a very early project at my current job. Lots of things I would do differently now. But still lots of things I like! #oc #art #fanart #animation #characterdesign

#animation #oc a disco eagle I animated for a project a while back. I was inspired by verka serduchka's backing dancers at eurovision 2007. PS this is how you will feel if you follow me

Did some more recording with Shelley Byron weekend before last, at Tesla Studios with the impeccable David Glover. Here are some of my snaps (feat guest saxophonist, band WAG and all round good egg Chris)

This is Sammie. She is our 16 year old rescue cat. She likes character-driven RPGs and cosy indie games
