Are your pattern brushes for sale?

they aren’t, I’m sorry! but they’re very simple to make. I don’t have any special brush making skills in fact u could probably say the opposite

Your asoiaf art is gorgeous! Finally someone who draws characters actually looking their age. Would you ever draw Shiera Seastar or Ashara Dayne? Basically, beautiful women😂😂😂 Do you have any future plans, who'd you like to draw specifically? Are you planning on doing most characters?

I don’t have any specific plans to draw most characters because I’m very fickle about having to really enjoy what I’m drawing to care enough to finish, but I do like a lot of characters so I’m sure more will appear over time… just not promising everyone! I’d like to revisit davos because he’s one of my favs. love that guy :) Perhaps joff tommen and myrcella. i think they could be fun. I should probably draw Catelyn eventually. But those are not really set plans, just some ideas floating around!

And I have a few characters in my inbox I’m saving for when I want to do another batch of sketch portraits, so i’ll add your requests to the list :) thank you!!

love your little arya with her fists clenched!!

thank you!! I would love to draw arya again bc I had so much fun w her the first time. currently re-listening to adwd between other books though so not much arya to be found 😔

I love your ASOIAF art, its so comforting to look at. would you ever draw Sansa and Lady? like them hugging or sleeping curled up together!!!!!

this is not quite what was asked of me, but hope it’s okay anyways!!

I feel like I rarely see Lady depicted as a pup which imo is a missed opportunity for big ole ears

Hi! Would you mind if I used your art for my polls? I would link back to the original post and credit you, but no worries if not! :)

I don’t mind! thank you for asking!

I’ve only drawn cersei once when I had only just started fleshing out the general look I wanted to go for in my asoiaf art, so I wanted a chance to go back and update her. cersei’s design is tough because I always think of her hair, but it’s hard to make loose hair not look ahistorical and out of place grrr… This was the solution I came up with in the end. Not perfect, but I think she looks pretty anyways

your stark family fan art is EVERYTHING i love it so much ❤️❤️

I forgot to answer this bc i’m a bit silly THANK U tho <3 I have so much fun drawing them which is funny bc at first I thought I had no interest in it !

I have seen art of the collector but where is the love for the humble fisherman

I just discovered your asoiaf art and I'm crying tears of joy. It's so gorgeous!

thank youuu <3 so glad I picked the series up on a whim because it’s been great for inspiration :)

“Guards!” he heard the wench shout. “The Kingslayer!”

Jaime, he thought, my name is Jaime.

some wildlings (including mance for an anon a while ago!) + jon

I’m extremely normal about the fishing game 👍

If your art requests are still open, will you be willing to draw sansa and bran together. i never see fan content together even when both of are represented by birds (raven and dove)

I wasn’t actually planning on drawing full pieces for requests, but this one interested me so I went ahead and did it anyways !

do you have commissions?

I don’t I’m sorry :( I used to but I found that monetizing my art really took the fun out of it so I prefer to keep it as a hobby.

here’s some of the requests I got! there are some I did not get to that i’d like to eventually, but in the interest of not burning out i’ll return to them at a later date

sam, addam, and loras for assorted anons - pia for @blankwhiteshield - asha for @ziphius - garin of the orphans for @fatipher - barbrey and thoros for @blackbetha - wylla for @amethyinst

if anyone has any asoiaf characters they would like to see drawn feel free to send them in :)

I make no promises but I’m a little in the mood for some simple portraits

I dreamt of a maid at a feast, with purple serpents in her hair

Hi! I really love your art and I'm getting into doing digital painting myself now. If it's not too much of a bother could you share some tips on your process, and what program + brushes you use? <3

thank you!! I would say my process is not that out of the ordinary but I’m happy to share :)

for the first sketch, I start REALLY loose. comically loose. this pass is just to get the general vibe and composition of the sketch. (going to be using jojen and meera as an example bc this file still has all parts of the process in tact).

then I start pulling LOTS of references and working from them. I start trying to get shapes down accurately enough that I have a solid base to work off. then I can clean them up for the final lines

the only part of my process that I think differs from most is that I’m really terrible with color, so one thing that I learned helps me is to do color comps. i’ll duplicate my line art and then shrink it down until it’s small enough that I can’t focus on details or precision too much and then try and work out color palettes. sometimes the first one works, and sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 recolors, but better for me to do these quick versions than go in blind and hate it at the end. (I unfortunately don’t usually save the ones I don’t use. I wish I could share some options I didn’t go with!) Then I can use my comp as a reference and it’s just a matter of getting the colors in cleanly!

As for programs, I use procreate on an ipad, but for years I used a $60 wacom tablet and clip studio paint that I got on sale. I really think it’s less about the program and more about what’s intuitive for the individual. unless someone tells you to use photoshop. that’s the devil speaking.

lastly here’s some brushes I use! the basics are both default brushes on procreate (maybe slightly altered, but not by much). I make my canvases on the smaller side to get the rough pixelated look from my sketch brush. for patterns, I pull from old illustrations or fabric! a lot of mine came from ivan biliban or similar illustrators. the stamp brushes are super easy to make and really make clothing look lovely imo :) pattern brushes are a little harder but they’re doable with tutorial help

I hope that helps!!

I’d been procrastinating drawing Jaime in kingsguard armor bc I was loathing figuring out how I was going to make full plate match the aesthetic I had been going for with other westerosi stuff, but I went back and listened to some of the chapters for inspiration and sansa describes the kg armor as scaled! I decided to lean fully into that instead of plate bc I thought it was more fun :)

your art is wonderful! i really like how you draw Brienne! Your Shireen is the cutest thing i've ever seen ahh!

thank u!! there are a lot of characters I like but brienne stays #1 💪 and shireen is so sweet I had to draw her <3

Dany and her Silver in the Dothraki Sea… (the shallow end at least)

hello! i was wondering where you found references for historical clothing?

hi! I mostly look for medieval russian costumes and illustrations! You can find some really beautiful (non-US) show costumes centered around that period on pinterest, as well as recreations and illustrations. Occasionally i’ll look at Ivan Bilibin’s works but that’s more so for patterns and general aesthetic than exact garments.

they need to turn off the blaze feature for me personally bc I’m always paranoid I’m going to accidentally click it and accidentally enter my card details and accidentally pay $40 to blaze my fanart to the rest of tumblr and get cyber bullied

Throws up

AYEE LOOK AT THE MESS U MADE IN MY INBOX!

Team Dragonstone !! I love their antics

Thanks to @ancientoctagon for tagging me :)

Last song: Rosa — Grimes

Last show: I finally watched House of the Dragon. It was okay that’s my review

Currently watching: nothing... I’m terrible at keeping up w shows

Currently reading: Heretics of Dune by Frank Herbert  (I put it on hold when I started asoiaf so I’m just now getting back to it)

Current obsession: hmhmmh.... I have been messing around in blender a bit for fun. I am not very good at it <3

the Stark Sisters

do you sell prints, i would love to have your brienne on my wall 🥹

I do not :( but if you want you are welcome to make a print/take it to a print shop yourself!

Hey, just fyi, you have your search off-- not sure if it's on purpose or by accident, but it means you don't appear in the tags. If it's deliberate, no worries, but in case it's not, thought you might like to know.

OOPS I’m just an idiot. I turned it off forever ago bc I was worried abt someone lurking on me but it’s back on. thank u for letting me know!! :)
