Opening up some Emergency Sketch Slots as Blank is currently a rat a bit in over his head, and is in real need of getting caught up on a sudden influx of expenses.

-$30 Per Sketch be it a head shot or fullbody, just nothing overly complex please.

Opening up several slots don't have a specific number I am taking. Currently trying to cover expenses due to issues with my Day Job so will be taking enough comms to take care of that.

Please see baronblank.carrd.co for additional information on pricing, extras, and ToS.

Another Sketch Study I did using a Magic the Gathering card as the base reference.

Something new I started to do on a whim. I took a Magic the Gathering Card I had in my collection that caught my eye, and decided to use it as a base reference for study piece trying to recreate the pose, and outfit in my own style.

Sorry for dipping out for most of the summer. This Summer was weird for me mental health wise, but getting back on track.

So for now enjoy this old Shading Practice study from back in 2023.

Also I see we are 1 away from 200 followers you guys are the best!!

A continuation of the previous concept piece I post a few days ago. Can you take a guess which Final Fantasy was my first.

When I said I was spacing my art out at the time I was not planning on spacing it out quite this much, but well here we are lol.

For now enjoy this little composition sketch for an idea floating around in my head inbetween comm work.

A piece all the way back from 2022, and one of my favorites to this day.

Quick warm up this morning to get back into the flow of things.

Going forward I'm going to be spacing out my posts. While the daily posts have been a blast I think I put a lot of undue burden on myself having to post something new everyday.

Also I'll have more time for more finished pieces.

Fun fact this was done for the Blizzard art contest though never submitted. The idea was a militant feline race of light worshippers on the other side of azeroth that had weapons the light in a crystal form creating for more advanced tech and weapons to conquer the rest of Azeroth.

Small world.

Nothing new today just wishing everyone a good Saturday evening.

However please enjoy this really old college age cat race design I did inspired by WW1 Ottomans soldiers.

Today has been a day of non stop appointments, errands, and a mad dash to mow the yard before it rained.

Still I shall not be deterred, and I give you more kitty cat!

Some more witchy kitty brought to you by the @theposearchives.bsky.social

I decided to go with this pose as it felt a bit more dynamic for what I wanted.

Going to base the design on the Norwegian forest cat.

Today's morning sketch was brought to you by the lovely folks over at @theposearchives.bsky.social

Just a quick pose test nothing too crazy as I was in a rush but something I can build off of later.

Continuing with Maélis' armor this morning I have properly customized her crown guard's kit.

Took a lot of inspiration from the German Landsknechts.

Looking forward to finishing it.

Thanks so much. Isella's armor design did a lot of work for me which she is one of my favorite ncps in the setting. I'm excited to customize it to fit Maélis' style.

Finally getting around to working on Maélis' armor.

Armor designed based on @selius.bsky.social OC and Beastworld NPC Isella, who had a wonderful piece of her in her Crown Guard's armor.

Next step is to customize it for Maélis.

I can't seem to get enough of Maélis. What started as a simple warm up sketch took off with a life of it's own.

Another sketch for my wolf Maélis this time I wanted to focus on the working on a back view of her muscles. Even out of armor she is a force to be reckon with steel, fang, and claw.
