Prophecy

A semi-quick piece: some 20' for the first rough sketch (see below), then a couple hours this evening.

Apologies - watercolour

"What timeless hours must it take,   writing my apologies,   on these burning rocks,   grazed by the dust and the wind and   shaked by the storms and   in ambiguous dismay or delight at a clear bright sky,   my eyes hurt."

Quick illustration of a story-in-the-works. This one is not mine, but it also belongs to the Sunraze world.

Sunraze (watercolour)

Another take on the original Sunraze scene, this time in watercolours.

The result could be better (I suppose it will be a while before I get the hang of watercolours, barring any 'happy accidents'). The paper was not made to take as much water as I loaded it with, glazing after glazing. I will need to to improve my blending, too.

The tree figure was done a bit haphazardly: started with sepia first, then the reds, then I inked it a bit, and again sepia/red. I'm too used to adding the highlights on top, so I got confused. :}

Well, on to the next piece!

The ambassador

A character sketch from a setting- and story-in-the-works. He's probably my favourite one. :)

 About half an hour, photoshop, used some reference for the crossed arms only.
