#PortfolioDay

Hello! Name's Ben. I'm a story artist with a few years of experience under my belt. I also dabble in Background and VisDev. I'm currently looking for in-house or contract work!

And finally, the reference I've used, including showing height differences. Also, some canonical sketches #Harrison keeps on his person.

A picture of Harrison and Wesley side by side. Wes is about a head taller than Harrison, but Harry's ears make up the difference.

An assortment of sketches of Harrison and Wesley on old paper.

We also had a animated version we used, once again animated by the amazing @/pokefan1241!

Some last little bits and bobs from the recent #Harrison lore drop. There was a flashback to their wedding day :) They're wearing each others' colors (blue and red respectively), and the purple you see is a combination of that.

Harrison Harkins, a harengon, holding a glass of wine. He's smiling, and is wearing a black suit with a purple flower and red tie.

Same as previous picture, but Harrison is holding up the glass, with his eyes closed and mouth open, like he's making a toast.

Wesley Harkins, a coyote folk, wearing a white suit with a blue band and purple flower on his top hat. He's holding his lapels, and his tail is wagging quickly behind him.

Some more poses for Wesley and #Harrison, for when different emotions were needed.

Wesley, a coyotefolk, in the same pose as the prvious but with a scared look on his face.

Harrison, looking scared, with his hands out, open, in front of him.

Here's the set of the boys. This was taking place when #Harrison accepted being Wes's deputy.

Harrison, a harengon, with his arms folded and looking at the camera.

Same as previous, but looking to the side with his mouth open.

Wesley, a coyote folk, grinning and winking, with a hand on his hip and his other hand tipping his hat.

Wesley, same as previous but not winking and mouth closed.

We've finished illustrations, but because we use pngtubers for our dnd sessions, I drew a lot of #Harrison Backstory avatars for his big backstory reveal! Here's the start of it, baby Harrison and Teen Harrison!

Harrison as a kid, with his shirt untunked and his fists balled. He looks determined, with buck teeth and one of his ears drooped.

Harrison as a teen. He looks sullen and beat up, with a bloody nose and a black eye. He's got the whiskers of his mustache he gets as an adult. He is also wearing overalls.

Same as before, but with his clenched teeth visible, and looking more annoyed.

Of course, things didn't stay good forever. And tragedy struck with a seemingly random stampede of monsters. It left #Harrison alone, with everyone killed. And, somehow, he survived, being haunted by shadow folk that wanted him dead.

This is a thumbnail illustration. Animatic in replies!

Harrison, a harengon cowboy, kneeling and holding the remains of a tattered scarf, looking devastated. Ruined buildings and dust clouds are behind him, with a bright sunset descending. There is a trail of blood splattered in front of him. The words PAD THAI hang over the scene, which is the name of a song by Jack Strauber

I've been doing a ton of storyboarding lately so I'm swinging back around to do some painting/anatomy practice ft. Gonzo

Original sculpture sans leaf is by Katherina Pilnikova

Gonzo is dark blue minotaur. He's sitting on a rock with his arms crosssed, copying the pose of The Minotaur sculpture by Katherina Pilnikova. It's done in a painted style. He is wearing nothing but shorts

The Minotaur sculpture by Katherina Pilnikova. There is a convenient but crudely drawn leaf over his delicates.

Wesley was the one that proposed. Both wanted a small ceremony, but the small town made it the biggest shin dig they could muster. They loved their town so they didn't mind, in the end. It was, at this point, the happiest time in #Harrison 's life.

Harrison, a hare furry (or harengon ) and Wesley, a coyote furry. Wesley is behind Harrison with his hands on his shoulders, and kissing him on the side of his head. Harrison looks delighted. They both have rings on their fingers.

After an intense argument, #Harrison straight up confessed. There was a lot of kissing. Later they found that their town, Clearwater, had all taken bets on them. After they wouldn't stop badgering them, Harrison gave them a little what they were looking for and dipped Wesley into a big kiss. :)

Harrison, a hare furry (or harengon ) and Wesley, a coyote furry, kissing. Harrison has his eyes closed and dipped the larger man off his feet. Wesley looks surprised but very happy. There is a box with a sunset depicted behind them.

The pictures might not quiiite line up with the lore i'm drip feeding lol. But it works well enough.

Also, while we were roleplaying this story out, The DM and I joked their horses were homophobic, so here's the meme version XD

Same as the previous picture, except in the bottom right corner is a Live Slug reaction meme, with sketches of their horses side eyeing each other.

It took them AGES to confess their feelings. At least, in a way they could each understand. #Harrison was aggressively flirting, giving compliments etc, but just went over Wesley's head. Meanwhile, Harrison was very confused by his boots getting cleaned mysteriously, or finding extra food. idiots XD

Harrison, a harengon hare furry, and Wesley, a coyote furry. They're sitting around a campfire out in the desert. Harrison is giving Wesley a wink, and wesley is shielding his face with his hat, blushing and tail wagging.
