the righteous stand before the darkness - and the Maker shall guide their hand.
I’ve had a free chain brushset of two chain mail brushes on my ko-fi since 2023 and never advertised it because I thought that maybe they aren’t helpful (?? ok). Well now I’ve added two more chain link brushes to the set and I’ve redone the cover and the samples! Have at it!

It’s only Procreate but you can see the stamps I’ve made on the cover. Reminder that you’ll probably need to tweak the settings a bit if you‘re right-handed.
Keep your wits about you.
I got to work on two pieces (that I couldn’t post in their entirety just yet) that really pushed me to step out of my portrait shaped comfort zone. You can actually see the results of that in my June, July, September and November pieces! Out of these, I’m proudest of my DABB piece (Nov) and my FoA piece (Sep) because they really hammered home to me that I’m actually moving away from portrait-only art. It’s a slow process for me but slow and steady wins the race, right?
As for my hopes for 2025 regarding my art - I want to get more comfortable with letting my art stay more loose in parts and be less focused on every little detail.
Be kind to yourselves! ( ˘ ³˘)♥
I’m posting this WIP as a threat. To myself.
Maybe that‘ll help me actually working on it omg _(:3」∠)_

Concept process for my DABB contribution!
(1) I started with some PotC studies, followed by (2) some rough thumbnails. I did a few headshots to get a feel for both of their faces in (3). Afterwards I doodled their getups that were just for fun. I worked on their actual designs in (4). Based on the thumbnails I sketched six concepts. For the eagle eyed: I did use some Black Sails promo material as rough reference.
Judgmentally, she stared down her nose, voice cool. “Your soldiers don’t smarten up when you walk by. They don’t respect you.” As he walked up to the bottom of her perch, the Captain leaned forward, folding her arms on the railing. Her posture was loose and comfortable, but her expression did not relax an iota, lips drawn tight. Bryce imagined she was attempting to look down on him, but he felt more like a boy peeking up at a lady’s balcony from the garden. He’d never seen her with her hair down. Being so closed-off and cold was not at all what he’d been expecting from a raider, but she ran a tight ship. A little too tight. Mistakes were punished by her hand with a swiftness and severity that made him uneasy, but her sailors seemed to expect it.

One last great battle at sea will end the Ferelden Rebellion; one final test for both future teyrn Bryce Cousland and notorious raider Eleanor Mac Eanraig. Their antagonism is legendary, but to face their common foe and end the war with Orlais they'll have to learn to trust. There's no one else Bryce would trust as his partner, but is there any point in longing for something more when his duty and her hard-won freedom lie in conflict?
