The Art of Rowan North

11 out of 12 (finished on 11/12 would you look at that) Remember how I said these keep getting more and more complicated? Yeah this happens every time I work on a long-term project. I went through a couple of iterations of the same idea-- I wanted to reference the Dialga and Palkia fight but focus on Volo and Giratina as the far more prominent story figure at the Spear Pillars. A lot of pushing and pulling the colors for this one- it's tricky to have so many similar values in the same place with a busy background and still have them stand out I THINK I succeeded after a heckin lot of tweaking. Might still make a couple of edits before I post the full thing.

9/12 done. And each one I keep thinking is my favorite until I make the next one.

I listened to this song the entire time I drew this to make sure the vibes are just right:

Still plucking away at this (just have uhh had a whole overseas trip I've been preparing for/going on between these drawings)

Always love images of Emmet being haunted, but have you considered Ingo being just as haunted by things he can't quite remember?

I needed a warmup sketch and only just discovered the snapcube dub a few days ago. And this lives rent free in my head. I have never done Sonic fanart and will probably never do Sonic fanart again but enjoy : D

Plz help I keep making these panels more and more detailed Still working on them, I have 6? ish? done? But I wanted to share my favorites before I put them all together in context of each other. Ultimately it started as "This song reminds me of Ingo in P:LA!" to being more Akari focused, whoops!

Still working on that lyric thing, but I did that thing where I accidentally put too much effort into one of the panels, so now I gotta go back and make the others match the style and quality of this one... Anyways, in the meanwhile I'm so proud of this one I decided to post it as a stand-alone image! Enjoy!

"Met a ghost of a king on the road Words of fire He said, "You are a lonely soul With a heart of stone That rakes against your thirsty bones Such a lonely soul" Said, "I can show you what can save you But we need to go Where no chariot can take you" -Ghost of a King, The Gray Havens Had this image in mind for a while, then thought of this song and thought it fit Ingo FAR too well. So my hand slipped. Probably will do more of the lyrics for this song later. Also HEY my little drippy crownsss I haven't drawn one of those in years.

Kris Sketchdump!! I haven't done a lot of drawing the past few months-- I changed jobs and dealt with the emotional whiplash of all of that, have been working on a cosplay for FanX Salt Lake, worked on a whole entire tabletop campaign, and have been playing some Vidya Gaems (Got another Minecraft hankerin, played more of My Time at Sandrock, tried to finish Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and started Pokemon: Black and White) But here's a few sketches I've worked on since then! 1. Idk, some variations of Kris's armor. 2. Kris from an AU RP, a Lightner variation of the Knight with some Everyman Butterflies (But Soul Flavored) 3. Rough Sketch for Adult Kris (This was while all the Older Kris concepts were coming out). I imagined they'd be a bit more punkish. And then a study of Older Kris's figure and body shape. Some more well-defined muscles, made for someone who Consistently Remained a fighter in the Dark Worlds. 4. Another random sketch/study. Idk, I like their hair tied back. And the Dark Scleras are a Vibe. Also, I got these garnet heart-shaped earrings and they make me think of Kris, so they're wearing 'em.

Been a hot sec!! Been busy recovering from my convention (And training at a new job in the interim!) Here's a photo of my booth from AWU! With aaaall the lil crafts and things I do beyond just Deltarune fanart (Like handmade paint, jewelry, and handpade paper!!) I pushed myself pretty hard prepping for this, so my burnout and recovery was real. Just been taking the time since then to recover my home from the absolute thrashing con prep does and play some games. I have some sketches I hope to post soon tho!! Also yes I am the Espeon! Hello!!

Have some unfinished Deltarune sketches! First is Kris and I started this sketch traditionally before transferring it digitally, I was just having one hell of a time figuring out sword poses. And then Dess!! I always love the imagery of the Hunted Deer and had a lot of fun figuring out the pose!!

Another fox Kris. This technically was the first fox Kris I drew, while trying to finalize my take on it. It was a lot more fantastical than what I settled on in future sketches, but boy it was fun!! This time I was inspired by that DTIYS by mosseater3110 on Instagram and people's takes on that, but feral fox Kris. (I have a different, actual entry to that DTIYS I'm working on slowly but con prep is a thing I am still doing first)

This is the last fox Kris I swear. Probably. Maybe. Idk. Fox Kris Trend was started by @mint-chocolate-rooibos , go check their stuff out!!

Another fox Kris, but as a real-ass wild fox. There is a thought in my head where Kris is some sorta werefox and just occasionally becomes a full fox but it's so much funnier to think they are just a really frustrated wild animal that these monsters are trying to raise like a human child. I think the fox Kris trend was started byyy @mint-chocolate-rooibos ?? I could be wrong! But check out their art!!

So recently there's been a trend of drawing Kris as an anthro fox... I see that and raise you draw them as a real fox, you cowards /pos

The Dreemurrs need to stop raising a wild animal like a human child it's really not going well

Anyways here's my take on the idea. There's a few people who have been doing the trend but the ones that have been my favorite so far are from @em7raen and @mint-chocolate-rooibos

I've had this sketch around for like, FOREVER. But I decided to add some fun textures to it. This was me at 2 am one night messing with new PROcreate brushes, drawing an obligatory angsty Snowgrave piece

Idk have a quick sketch of Kris cause I like trying different clothes with them. Also missing cozy sweater weather and it's a bit of wishful thinking Been very busy with prepping for an art booth at a local con towards the end of the month, so there's not a lot of time for art but damn have I've been itching to pick up a pen. I've got a bunch of small sketches I might share though.

*Chants* Holo prints, holo prints, holo printsss Big thank you to Catprint- the first round of these had one of the corners get super damaged in shipping and they sent me a reprint!! They also turned out SO beautifully. Probably am only going to sell these at in person events because this is a hobby, not a business and I'm trying very hard to keep it that way. But they just turned out so pretty so I had to share
