The Science Teacher: Jaan, one of the human characters in my villain-centric novel. He is a very nice man who lives in a small village on the border of a vast forest.
Twin Stars. These are two of the powerful nature spirits who populate part one (and world one) of the villain-centric novel I'm writing. It's a story about 'big bad' type villains that spans creations. The spirit on the left here is one of my disastrous antagonist-protagonists, while the one on the right is the 'sibling' who cares about them deeply.
Spirit of Light (and nothing). Antagonist-protagonists of a novel I am currently working on, which I refer to as my "villain-centric novel". Procreate drawing.

My son...
Okay, not really, but he's the character from my novel I have the most tender authorial parental feelings for. Which counts. The Lonely Sorcerer, the only living sorcerer of his age. His power is considerable, literally earth-shattering, but as his control over it is limited, he risks breaking himself apart when he uses it. Pen sketches.
Historical figures. Prophet, Sorcerer, Witch, Emperor. Characters from a fantasy novel I'm working on. They lived in the distant past, but they impact the present in surprising ways. Ballpoint pen sketches.
Digital doodles. I’ve been playing around and fingerpainting on my phone lately, just for fun. Here are some rough OC portraits.
Clockwise from top left: 1. Cynical Grump Knight. 2. Mystical Science Teacher. 3. Traveling Merchant-Witch. 4. Disgraced but Good-Natured Ex-Knight.

Original characters: fairies of the aether. My novel Goldenhour (working title) features two types of elemental fae-like peoples (of aether and water). These two here are of the people believed to be from the “aether”, though some also believe them to be spirits of air (they’re not telling), due to their light, airy, sometimes insubstantial nature. Their horns are symbolic manifestations of their magical power, so to see individuals with prominent horns like this means they are rather formidable.
In the world of Goldenhour, to state it as simply as possible, the human realm has long been conquered by the “fairy” realm. The fairies who have taken form in the human world have adopted human names. Top: Lysander Sorrow. Bottom: John Good. Some of them, like John, are sympathetic to humans and want to help them. Others—not so much.

Father & Daughter: sketches of two of the characters from my novel Goldenhour. Sir Bertrand and his daughter Branwen (as both a child and a young adult). Branwen is a storyteller who comes of age in her father’s shadow— and must come to terms with her heritage as she struggles to uncover the secrets of the family she never knew.
