I’m working on a new character for the webcomic. Her name is Olminita, and she’s not going to actually show up on page for a while yet, but I thought I’d document the process just for fun. If you’ve been wondering how I make the characters for At War’s Edge…
I did not make that word up. I feel compelled to point that out because I do make words up. Sometimes. Not that one. This here thing is really called a vihuela (pronounced bi’wela if you’re Spanish) and is basically a 15th century precursor of the guitar. Or a close…
Colonel Breiden and Dr. Orgerd are having a… conversation while awaiting the return of Reg’s unsanctioned patrol. And I’m having heck of a time trying to pose Breiden 😀
Started a new location today. It’s a bit of a challenge because it’s one of those locations I hadn’t world-built at all beforehand, so the reference search was long and painful, albeit educational and eventually rewarding. I had no idea Dutch houses in 17th century had ceilings this high 🙂…
When a part of your brain wants to focus on finishing the location for the next scene and the other part of your brain goes “but we just learned compositing, gotta composite something!” So my (as yet unnamed) planet now has it’s own Blue Marble Image. Or at least a…

I’ve been very quiet all January. I apologize. I’ve been extremely busy with school – I’m approaching the end of my studies and working on the final project. On the bright side, this project happens to be Prince Meled’s study in the Shelisk Citadel 🙂 The project itself will be…
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…
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….
