Jim mentioned to me politely that perhaps I have too much work available for you to flip through to get the best idea of my Character Universes. And he’s right… I use this space to call your attention not to the best looking posts, but to particularly good examples of process. Get Thee Back! –Continue reading “Submission Notes: Please Read!”

Lo-Fi Printmaking: FINAL!
Don’t bother sitting down, because you’ll only stand right back up again: ahead lies the final print edition! Delightful! Although I had been really struggling with the workload of this term, this module has always been a breath of fresh air. It was a chance to step all the way back and look at thingsContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking: FINAL!”
Writing – In The Spa 2/2
As the thick doors clicked to behind them, Antonia and Mitzi were filled with relief. Now they were indoors, they could talk and move freely. They explored, looking for a room further back that they could use: the front room looked down onto the village, but all the other bathhouses were hidden from this angle.Continue reading “Writing – In The Spa 2/2”
Writing – In The Spa – 1/2
“So… You’re Whackus Bonkus?” There was no-one in sight as Antonia spoke, and on first glance you might be forgiven for thinking she was insane. As she looked down, it became clear that she was addressing the huge, ornate sword laid across her lap. “Mitzi named you that, didn’t she? I haven’t known her veryContinue reading “Writing – In The Spa – 1/2”
Writing – Baking Bread
This piece is set four or five years before the main plot of my fantasy story takes place. In a city to the West of Stellaria called Altor sits a famous Academy of Magic, known only as The Academy. Two of its students were Techo and Ludwig. Techo’s esteemed father ensured she would get aContinue reading “Writing – Baking Bread”
Visual Diary – How do I wash my clothes?
If I was feeling cheeky, I could have stretched this over two days’ worth of visual diary. Lots of good fun work, getting back into the sketchbook to make some physical work. The ink loosens my hand and makes me happy. I think I’ll probably upload my writing on here in full today, because IContinue reading “Visual Diary – How do I wash my clothes?”
Lo-Fi Printmaking – Lino Layer
oh YEAH babey! The image below is actually upside-down, and is all my test prints resting on our drying laundered bedsheets stretched across chairs. Just so you know what you’re looking at. So, registering the lino was always going to be hard. Because I was combining printmaking methods, one registration matrix would not be appropriateContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking – Lino Layer”
Visual Diary – Guide to my Page
For the new year on Instagram, I spent some time creating a baseline guide to identifying the characters I love so much. This is good, because I occasionally get new followers, and I know how hard it is keeping track of other people’s characters. This is a simple who’s who that you can hold upContinue reading “Visual Diary – Guide to my Page”
Visual Diary: Well, Well.
I keep meaning to make more sketches, but quickly colouring work to give it the sense of atmosphere I need it to have is quite good fun. I spent some time working with this one and I’m really happy with the mood it gives out in the end. The character speaking is the sword, WhackusContinue reading “Visual Diary: Well, Well.”
Lo-Fi Printmaking: Lino Cut!
Huge progress as I finished the lino cut! I am utterly sideways with excitement for how this turns out. I’ve actually done the stencil now but I’m making it two posts because I’ve been putting off writing this one up. And my bandwith is all tied up dealing with a drive video, so I can’tContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking: Lino Cut!”
