I've been working in sketchbooks more as part of a class assignment; here are some of my recent sketches 👉👈 I've been trying to draw what comes to me in the moment, and not worry too much about the output or making everything perfect, but also put time into each to make it feel 'done' as a sketch.

Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a woman with stylized hair

Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a figure with a stylized owl headdress. The wings of the headdress cover the figure's eyes.

A graphite sketch of a a face surrounded by a sphere of churning, splashing water

A graphite sketch of a beared man with a sword plunging through his forehead and out his chin (in a stylized, non gory way).

KEEPING TIME returns, as promised!!

#KeepingTime is a bittersweet bummer of a gay band romance that just started its 4th chapter, which means there's already 106 pages for you to dive into. #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com

Full page spread of a close-up of a bulletin board. A flyer that reads, "Chapter 4: My Father's Dreams" takes front and center of the spread. Around it, numerous flyers and business cards are pinned to it with colored thumbtacks.

World of warcraft fanart coloured sketch of an Elven mother and baby cuddling. The baby has curly light brown hair and is sleeping with a toy lynx. The mother has long, blond hair and is wearing a red headscarf with geometric embroidery along the edges.

Overlaying the image is text that reads "SPACELING.ART," indicating the artist's name, along with links to their Patreon and Ko-fi pages. There is also a note stating "NOT FOR RESALE, NFTs, OR AI," emphasizing the artist's rights regarding the artwork.

I hear it's international lesbian day 💕 if you want to share a fellow lesbian's art, here is some of my favourite works with my lesbian blorbos 💕

#art

An artwork based on Romeo and Juliet by Frank Dicksee. Ipomoea is wrapping her arms around Reignn, stopping them for one last kiss as they are sitting over the balustrade. Reignn embraces her back, their lips almost close to touching. On the background a city can be seen, with mountains in the distance.

In the middle, Elaine is standing while holding her sword, while the personification of the moon is sitting behind her and almost embracing her gently. On the left, Elaine is holding a white lily, the bottom decorated with more white lilies and ipomoeas. On the right, Elaine's hand is showing holding her sword. The same flowers decorate the bottom of the scene.
The phases of the moon are shown across different parts of the artwork (crescent/waning moons at the bottom, half moons on the sides, full moon in the middle scene).

Camellia is holding Ametista in her arms as she pierces her heart with her sword. Ametista looks peaceful, her arms wrapped around Camellia's shoulders.

In the background there is a scene from their past. Camellia and Ametista are kissing in the gardens, a warm light pouring over the scenery.

The artwork has a golden frame with ornamental swords at the bottom.

On the right, Thalia leans forward Eirwen with a red flower in her hand. On the left, Eirwen reaches out, her fingers delicately brushing against the petals while her left hand brushes through Thalia's hair. Around them winter is thawing, flowers and foliage emerging still covered in a little snow.

It's Loving Wrathion Wednesday

The image is official art of Wrathion from World of Warcraft.

Except if someone bedazzled the vignette with pink and white sparkles, and a neon cursive heart.

The image is a frame of a cinematic, showing Anduin from World of Warcraft. The image is edited to show he's saying the above "It's Loving Wrathion Wednesday" post, including a speech bubble, which is barely containing the sparkles of the previous post.

Okay. Random Anduin and Wrathion facts whenever I think of them. 🤔✨️

For example - as we head into Midnight and The Last Titan is next on the horizon... Did you know that Wrathion has already been to Northrend in regards to his research?

The image is of in-game from World of Wracraft. The quest text is from the BFA quest where you collect Wrathion's torn journal.

It reads:

My hope was that the Vault of Archavon would hold the answers I seek. Unfortunately, though the Vault contained much material for me to study, the giants who make it their home were... less than cordial to me upon my arrival. I cannot say I blame them, given their previous encounters with "visitors" from the Alliance and the Horde.

"Let me look after you." 🌙

(Commission by the wonderful @varliona.bsky.social 💜)

#Warcraft #Anduin #Wrathion #wranduin

The image is of Anduin and Wrathion from World of Warcraft. It is a commission by @varliona for @ClaretAsh. The image shows the pair in a cosy tent, with Anduin sitting in a low chair, as Wrathion sits on a pillow on the rug covered ground. Anduin sports his TWW look, and has been injured and is slightly bloodied, but is sitting calmly. He has removed the armour from the top half of his body - he's naked from the waist up. He has been bandaged on his right shoulder, and now Wrathion is bandaging his left arm. Anduin doesn't look stressed despite his injuries, and he is looking directly at Wrathion. Anduin has his left hand nestled at the back of Wrathion's neck as he allows the other man to care for him. Wrathion is smiling earnestly as he bandages Anduin. He's making sure Anduin doesn't over exert himself with the Light, but instead applying some good ol' fashioned first aid... which lets him get close to Anduin. It's a tender and intimate scene, and both men are focused on each other.
