Happy New Year!
Marshal Deguisay (of the Halcian Republic) and bana-Ivolga (of the Bereghin Realm) are ushering in a year of joy, peace and prosperity. Happy New Year, everyone!

A Calendar Problem
Alright, this blew my mind and I have to share. I’m in the middle of designing an Uncharred calendar. Partially because it feels season-appropriate, partially because there’s no way the marshal’s office, which I tinker with on occasion, hasn’t got a single calendar in it. Still, I’m designing it as…
Blender Internal vs Blender Cycles
This is a scene for the webcomic that isn’t happening anymore due to plot alterations. I originally created this scene a while ago (way before I knew what I was doing) in Blender Internal renderer. Now I’ve converted it into Cycles for the sake of adding it to my portfolio….
What.
The two characters had been standing with arms crossed, and then heard Very Unexpected News. This is the reaction shot which I feel worked out, so I’ll just leave it here to be proud of. Or possibly to be ashamed of, a few years down the line. The (yet missing)…
WIP – Cover for Chapter 1 almost ready
I might yet change the logo. And do something with the sword so it looks less like a lightsaber. But otherwise this should be quite close to the final version. Sooo excited 🙂
“Storm Over the Pass” Test Shots
Been working on one of the fight scenes. Turns out, the marshal looks a whole lot less prim and proper when in action 🙂 Snowstorm-in-the-mountains-about-to-happen type of lighting is also starting to work out, even in the cases where magic is turned off there are no extra light sources. Here…
November Update
A moored flying ship is complete. The docks around it, alas, aren’t even started properly. 5 new characters are complete. Halcians: Sergeant Dietman, Lieutenant Schtarz, Master Schielend Bereghins: bana-Ivolga (yep, I’m going with an invented title system, most nobles being styled bann (men) and bana (women), which is inspired partially…
Mountain Castle
I finally finished this location last week. Yep, that’s a lighthouse. Yep, in the mountains. Because wyvern-riders need navigational aids, too =)
Yarik
This week I took a break from the ship and instead worked on the cast. This is Lieutenant Yarosvet Breslav (Yarik to his friends), one of the main characters on the Bereg side of the plot. Bereg is one of my two almost-warring countries. The other one is Halcia, which…
WIP – The Flying Ship
I’ve been building a flying ship over the past couple of weeks. Yes, all right, I wasn’t actually building it, I was modelling it in 3D, but the early stages of the process are surprisingly similar: tons of research and figuring out how stuff works. The ship was originally inspired…
