I have Horizon brain-rot 

[thedustyleaves]

Second commission for PMG features Aloy! I picked the Tenakth Recon armour from Horizon Forbidden West, because I've been in love with it since I first saw it <3

His name is Alex btw (or Alexander). He’s an angry fairy whose markings change with age (and sometimes mood) and will eventually cover most of his body. He has some magical skills as well, inspired by Danish lore and sirens, but using them too much makes him nauseous so he’s never properly learned how to utilise his gift.

That’s the gist of it ✨ there’s a bunch of other stuff but that’ll come later, if it’s approved for the group 👀

Made a character for an rp group a friend of mine has created! I haven't been in one for years, it feels very nostalgic to join one again ❤️

Background lineart left! It's taking ages because I only have a few hours every other evening to work on it

[thedustyleaves]

hi love your art so much and your comic!! and you're one of my fave artists 🥺 i was wondering if bellum pulchrum is available as a print book? i'd love to buy it

Thank you for the kind words! ❤️

Unfortunately, I only sell my comic at a single convention in Denmark, as I can't really figure out a viable way to do it online without getting overwhelmed, but thank you so much for the interest!

Lineart (and gremlin) WIP!

[thedustyleaves]

have you ever spoken about how you decide on your outline colors? i notice you use multiple that sometimes change within the same character. adore your art, by the way! the skill! i just want to... idk, eat it, it's so bouncy and welcoming

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say! :')

I select a color close to the line I want to fill and manually darken it by a few shades. It softens the overall feel of the line art and is a neat way to add details, such as for the eyes and eyebrows, so they're not just black blobs.

I only colour line art that's within a shape and leave the outermost outline of a character alone. Typically, I refrain from adjusting the line art in shaded areas as well, as the color will be so close to black anyway so there's no point in changing it hah.

So for this one, these are the areas where I coloured the lineart!

And bon appétit

Another WIP! I think I’m done with the sketch now 🤔

[thedustyleaves]

Finally drawing again <3

[thedustyleaves]

I just realised that I’m poor and I should be asking for art trades more than commissions :’)) SO if anyone is up for that, let me know! 🙏 doesn’t have to be something hugely detailed and in colour or whatever, I’m very much down for sketch trades as well ❤️
