Grisn the Kaprik-Uusshu


This is a drawing of Grisn the Kaprik-Usshu, a character we meet in The Archer From Kipleth. He's pretty huge and very grouchy. That's all I'll say... spoilers. :)

cheers,

Kurt

Baalenruud at the River Miriam





I was getting kind of burnt out with Veranelle dae Galehthaire. But, I promise it will be back and finished. We're just getting to the good part.


In the mean time, I set brush to canvas and came out with a pretty good painting of wounded Baalenruud at the River Miriam. This tableau would have occurred just after the short story Ragherei'au, and just before the poem/song Veranelle dae Galehthaire begins.


My son, Roy, suggested she have a python-esque tail and that suggestion was fantastic as Baalenruud's tail is my favorite part of the painting.


This took about a week to complete. I started with tempura paints, but didn't like how the medium was clotting, so switched to oils. 
I'm getting better by the painting. Just compare to the cover of Ragherei'au click here for cover art. I expect the next one to be superb.


cheers,


Kurt
