Arelith

sometimes i look at stock images to get inspiration
sometimes a stock image will slap me across the face with the hand of god and compel me to grasp feebly at its essence in a knock-off imitation of their perfection

i present to you
Stock Image Smiling Sydney Harrow Wearing Suit Pointing Gun At Nasty Illithid Tadpole



please commission me

LOL, I hope you do more of these. I love it! There's all kinds of insane stock photos to pick from.

omfg.

with my commissioner's permission, i now present irrefutable evidence of the fact that i draw things for people in exchange for groceries



inspired by in-game events no less! i am reliably informed that the scene depicted was very fun for everyone involved, and i hope i did justice to the energy and personalities of all those illustrated

a commission i completed for the lovely CharonsClaw, featuring the Illustrious Lady Xull'thrae Xun'viir & the Immaculate Matron Ilphaeryl Xun'viir!

now that im out of work due to You Know What, ive had a lot less doodle time, because doodle time has been replaced by social isolation induced emotional breakdowns and frantic commission illustrations to make money to survive the fresh hellscape that is our global reality. and also, actual drawings instead of crappy pen doodles. eventually i hope i can actually finish em:

so good

Fantastic stuff, once again.

Said it before, will say it again. Love it!

Made in honor of the funniest screenshot I have ever seen come out of Arelith

Bonus:

hey so i make youtube videos now if anyones interested
(it took me way too long to make this video tbh wow i need actual video editing software)

i put lines on this work in progress right here:

Magistrasa - Love these!

Do you have photoshop skills?
(Have you considered taking a NWN landscape screenshot and dropping your character drawings in?)

I have general knowledge of the tools and interface, but alas, my wallet is not powerful enough for Adobe to bless my harddrive.

As for the second question - i had not considered that, no! Though something tells me there's gonna be some unfortunate stylistic dissonance that'll keep it from looking as nice as one would hope. Still, maybe I'll try it one of these days just to see how well it works.

I have no idea what this gif means but it still made me chuckle.

Also I made another lyria doodle last night while trying to figure out how my new art program works. My girl's all grown up...

still testing out this new art program. which ive decided to do as a form of self-torture as i have to struggle with an unfamiliar interface while popping advil like theyre candy to fight down this terrible migraine. ever have a hangover without even having had anything to drink? ladies you know what im talkin bout



#SharSquad values the lives of its members in the same way it values everything else. which is to say, life is meaningless and there's no value in anything.




i miss tebryn

also this last one's a bit older but i was commissioned by the fantabulous used car sales imp that is Gylrip. i hope i accurately captured her Can I Speak To Your Manager look

well when you look at it that way nihilism sounds pretty appealing

and, inspired by tonight's events:


i also got a really awesome commission done but i cant show it to anyone because i typically dont post commissions unless my commissioner says theyre alright with it and i never ask for permission myself because i am a spineless coward who slithers away from all social interaction on my belly like a slug

This is my favorite commission that I've drawn so far. It took me a month (and two different doctor visits to figure out if I was getting carpal tunnel) but god was it worth the effort. So happy to have had the opportunity to really sit down and take the time to illustrate some of my favorite people I ever played with. (It doubles as a widescreen monitor desktop background!)



From left to right we have the Nightingale, Umbra, the Sojourner, and the Wanderer.

And as a bonus, this is actually one of the first commissions! Here's Akorae - and I would say something nice about the character but her dad would yell at me. ;P

You know that big ol' thing just a post above this one? Yeah, well, I (mostly) recorded myself while I was working on it. Now I've finally uploaded the speedpaint!

Here's some detailwork on the big ol' thing while I'm here - it's so big it tends to get squashed up on people's screens.

even if its a serious drawing i inevitably find a way to turn it into a joke







and if youre wondering why my style seems to swing around so drastically for these past couple pictures - its because im experimenting a lot with this new art program. also i dont actually know how to draw, im just pretending to know what im doing, lol

Never stop the meme train, I love it.

Amazing!

May I speak with your manager, by chance? Aha! Who am I kidding. I am your manager! You're fired, by the way. Please pack your bags as slowly as you can because I would like to revel in the pleasure of your final moments here, I will miss you dearly. I assure you!

By the way - it's worth pointing out that I take requests here too. No guarantee that I'll draw what you ask for, but on days like today where I feel beat up and need a little push for some extra inspiration, having someone feed me fun art ideas is a huge motivation. Especially if they come with pics & references attached.

Anyone who requests nonsense like "durr how bout a T-Rex with a jet pack" is getting BLOCKED & REPORTED (unless you're DM Rex)
