God I absolutely love RDR2. If you've not played it yet, give it a chance. An incredible game with an incredible story and an incredible cast.
I know he wasn't one of the top voted, but I was sat minding my own business when this image popped into my head and would not go away. Arthur is easily one of, if not my absolute favourite protagonist of any game, so it was only a matter of time until I painted him I suppose.
Thank you so much for all your suggestions!! Halsin on top, as always (pun intended) - he is one of my absolute favourites but in the end, this is a bit of a democracy, so if the winds had changed I would've taken that to heart. And your suggestions always give me so many ideas and inspiration for other paintings too!
Some always wish they had known a character had been highly suggested so that they could've added their voice to it. Here's your chance.
Is it semi-regular if it's twice a year? I think so - thus it's suggestion time again! If you ever thought "I'd love for Naar to draw this", this is your chance.
They can be from any media; literature, games, animated, etc. You can suggest folks I've already drawn. Bon...
one of my spiciest sfw versions, probably. nothing like a semi transparent chemise to get things going. doesn't quite fit the DAV fashion but fuck it. as long as they're having a good time, that's what matters.

Lucanis and Davrin really settled their differences over a nice meal.
I’ve been freelancer nearly a decade, and done hundreds of projects for clients in that time, in addition to launching several projects of my own. But this past year (as you know) I’ve been working on something very special: the Ultimate Artist Guide.
I’ve made thousands of mistakes attempting to navigate self-employment, the commission process,...
this went a completely different route that I had first imagined, this is so far from arcane style haha. funny how that sometimes happens. but I do believe these are the best breasts I've ever painted, so there's that at least.
Hope you all had a great holiday! took me a bit to get back into painting as I was frantically finishing up the ebook for the Ultimate Artist Guide (which comes out in two days (absolutely freaking out!)) but now I've finally gotten back to my true calling: smut. my plan is to fini...
Finally!! This bad boy can hold so much advice. and available in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS?!
lets just say I learned a lot about book design, both outside and inside, since last I last talked about this project. also hired an editor who edited for 3D Total Publishing to help me make it into the best version of itself it could be. that's how serious this is.
and the end result is a full blown book full of tips and tricks about finding work, contracts, pricing, mental health and social media. turns out amazon doesn't do preorders for p...
i know i said I would try arcane style but the soft light was calling my name, I was helpless to resist. its just how it often is, plans go right out the window and you just gotta go with your gut.
It's been a tick since my last update. I had an eventful December so far, including a few commissions, working on the Ultimate Artist Guide, and having a camera shoved down my throat. fascinating to see the inside of my own stomach, but a bummer to hear that they've no answer as to what's wrong with me. but that's a story for another time!
to be honest, I thought I had scheduled some more posts here to keep you company in my absence. but I hadn't. oops. hands up dropped the ball there!...
congrats to the few of you who guessed it! I've finished Dragon Age Veilguard, and while it didn't capture me like Baldur's Gate 3, it's still a very solid game that deserves a lil' fanart. I went through a little "why choose" moment between Lucanis and Davrin so in my head we had a poly situation going on.
this was supposed to be sexy and then it just turned into cosy
in other news, I've finally started Dragon Age and I'm enjoying it a lot! it's not quite the masterpiece that BG3 was, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. might do some art for it! (no spoilers in the comments though please, I'm not finished yet!)
You already know this one was in the works - I was lucky enough to work with Carissa Broadbent again to bring her characters to life! Already painted Oraya and Raihn, and now it was Asar and Mische's turn, as their book is coming out shortly. The Crowns of Nyaxia is one of my favourite series out there and Carissa is a fantastic author. <3
warm earthy tones just fit him so well istg, it's either this or bright nature green I cant draw this man any other way.
now I'm gonna play Veilguard and if any of them take my fancy, then we might... might not... might not get any Halsin here??? what??? i know, the thought makes me sad too, but it's healthy to broaden our horizons and find other pixels to fall in love with occasionally. though I must admit from the lineup I don't think any of them are gonna scratch my itch. b...

In other news I've decided to not have a patreon poll this month as dragon age veilguard comes out SOON!!! and if I fall in love with any of the companions you'll know I've gotta draw them to get them out of my system,
but to be honest its a pretty big if. they just don't get better than my man halsin, lets be real
finished reading Carissa Broadbent's The Songbird and the Heart of Stone ARC today and I had to do a quick sketch of Asar to deal with my feelings. (I wont spoil anything but just !!!!!!!!!!! READ IT ON NOV 19)
god I love drawing long haired men. he still needs some piercings and neck tattoos, but I wanted to show off a bit more of the commission I'm working on these days! it's been so long since I painted a portrait and CLOTHED PEOPLE (??) it almost feels like a brand new experience. rest assured we're going back to a more nudist approach soon, though.
interrupting the bg3 spice with some bookish content. work in progress! I don't do a lot of commissions these days as Patreon work takes up nearly all my time. but I couldn't not finish my dust jacket collection - already did 2/3 after all, and now it takes one final push to get the collection complete. Dust jackets take a surprising amount of work, with a lot more technical specifications to keep in mind than a usual illustration, not to mention the typography.
although hofas was far from perfect, bryce and hunt are spe...

"What's better than a devil you don't know?"
He's finally done! Enjoy.
He gave me quite the challenge, not only because the whole piece is very close in hues (reds and oranges) and I find that quite difficult, but getting the shading of his red skin right was an unforeseen challeng...
