Forth Eorlingas! and other forays into digital art

“And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns, in dark Mindolluin’s sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the north wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last.”

After almost twelve years of working purely traditionally, I started using Procreate on the iPad this year, and I’m liking the results more and more. As opposed to Photoshop, Procreate almost feels like traditional media, and it allows me to zoom in and do details that I haven’t been able to do since the onset of my eye disease in early 2018.

SquirrelPunk

Late 2020, I started working on a series of images for a setting I called “SquirrelPunk”, which I planned to turn into a book (of paintings and sketches accompanied by writing snippets). The project remains shelved for now, though, as financial contraints don’t allow me to work on a non-paying project for longer periods. Better days will come, and it shall be the days of the squirrels.
