Announcement rolling in! Last week was good! I streamlined my schedule and organized things better so that art/literature/music workloads cohesively overlap throughout the week and I'm not getting mini-burnouts. At least, not from In Extremis. Anywho, let's look back at the week: More Poria artwork (seen below): more posted on both facebook and twitter (so …

More experimentation in species variations. Poria don't have eyes, nor need eye sockets and traditionally have them to please other Sentient Species. Poria usually also do their hair by sparks, but I couldn't get that looking right so I'm not sure what direction that will go. Culturally they have little room or need for self …
A little late today, but a little preview of what will soon come. These variations are hard to express in the outlined art style with the simpler colour palette, so I've decided to show species' and racial variations, whether face paint, gender, age, weight, hair (or lack thereof) and more in a more painterly art …
A while back I started sitting down every morning and doing a quick environment thumbnail to get me in the habit of at least drawing something every day. I've done a couple sets, and I'd like to unveil the first set today. These might show up later down the line in more high-resolution environmental paintings, but …

Well, as unsurprising as it is, April continues to be a dead month for this site. Darn end of academic year and all. May wasn't that great either -- I ended my undergraduate career during May, so it makes sense. Things have picked up since, and here we are, back with the ball rolling. …
Back again with another piece of artwork for Chasing Shadows. Va Uavtieo is pretty much the final piece of support for Chasing Shadows. So, let's talk about her design. Without spoilers, she's a Turath that has studied several different aspects of the other sentient species, most notably the magik of Sham'ayn and the Sha'an. This …
Back again with a short post about Redcloak, or Rey'ynar. Again, as spoiler-free as possible.Redcloak referred to as such, because for a while all we know about him (through Chasing Shadows) is that they wear a red cloak. Here, we can see the two different cloaks, or a cloak and a robe, that they wear. …
Back with more artwork of Rey'ynar. This time, just his masks. Again, I'll try to be light on the spoilers from Chasing Shadows. I haven't picked his final mask design, but I took designs from the last time I worked with the character and elaborated on them with different shapes and finally colour. The first …
Without spoiling anything from Chasing Shadows for those who haven't read it, Rey'ynar also known as Redcloak is an important character. His wardrobe isn't really described in the book so my work for a while was figuring out what he wears and how he wears it. Still haven't nailed it down completely, but I've got several …
