Updated artwork: Blender Inquisitor and Painted Feár Nathair

I haven’t used Blender in a while, but decided to make a render of my old “The Inquisition Is Ever Vigilant” poster. I also think I may have made a grammar mistake in the original, so the text has changed to “We are Ever Vigilant” instead.

A mask that somewhat resembles a gas mask, enclosed within a hood and framed in a spotlight against a wall. Above and behind them are the Irish Gaelic translation for "We Are Ever Vigilant" in a cursive font.

Artwork recordings: Fomorians In Their Own Words

A couple of recordings of artwork that went into Fomorians In Their Own Words. One is a poster inspired by the “Leave No Dwarf Behind” motif from Deep Rock Galactic, and the other is me waffling on a bit about the Fomorians.

Fomorians In Their Own Words collection – coming soon

Two sofas with four people sitting on them. Sitting on the left sofa are a girl in a sailor's dress, hands resting on her stomach, and a boy with his arms folded and with one leg across his other knee. On the other sofa are another boy with glasses, holding hands with another girl in a dark shawl. Behind the first sofa stands a man in a khaki uniform, clasping his hands behind his back. To his left, behind the other sofa, stands a woman in a white apron, frowning disapprovingly at the two children in front of her. The entire scene is in sepia and bears the words "Fomorians In Their Own Words" to one side.

A draft cover for the Fomorians In Their Own Words compilation. I don’t have a release date yet.

Posters for download on BuyMeACoffee

Something that popped into my head on Friday while I was in a pub saying goodbye to some former colleagues: some of my art might make good posters.

Here’s one that I had printed on canvas a few months ago, with some LEDs behind it on the wall of my home office.

The other three are a single panel of my St Patrick’s Day comic, a terror bird lancer, and a recent image of Draugr relaxing in their local hot springs.

New artwork, upcoming story collection

I never got around to filling out the sketch of Kergioo/Debraa that I used as the feature image for Serpentoid Site Scouts, so that is finally filled out and uploaded.

Serpentoid vs St Patrick’s Statue

Happy St Patrick’s Day! To celebrate, here’s a mini comic in which Kerigoo and Debraa, serpentoid soldiers of fortune, are less than impressed with Kerigoo’s sister Sectaa.

Upcoming St Patrick’s Day Comic

As of the time of writing, one of the images in my site header is a humanoid snake trying to look adorable. That’s part of a St Patrick’s Day comic I have planned. Here’s three of the five panels, without any text:

More redone portraits

I seem to be going on a bit of an artwork refactor bend lately. These are intended to go with my next compilation, whenever that will be released, and I have a few more planned.

I’m aware that these aren’t perfect comparisons. In the case of the first one below the fold, I forgot to save GIMP’s .xcf file for that one, so I had to start from scratch anyway.

Character portrait redux

A portrait of an orcish girl in a sailor's dress

A few weeks ago, I decided to try a different art style for my character portraits. Since I’m drafting another short story compilation which involves the girl below, here’s a comparison of one I did a year ago and a redo in the new style.

Short story compilations

I have about 30 stories in the Connacht Disaster Zone series, and a lot of them share common themes or an overarching narrative. So, I’ve decided that I might as well combine them with some appropriate artwork. All of these will be available via a new page, and here’s the first one.

An unsanctioned laboratory underneath Cruagh Island attempts to discover the origins of the Fomorians.

She couldn’t move. 
Her heart pounded in time with the squeak of the trolley wheels as she struggled futilely against the straps that dug into her limbs and chest. The sharp smell of antiseptic assaulted her nostrils, growing ever stronger, and stronger, and-
“Feisty bitch, ain’t she?” somebody remarked. Her head twisted upwards and to the right, eyes locking onto the dwarf who leered at her, exposing teeth that were stained from smoking tea. Emblazoned on his right chest was that logo – that rounded vertical rectangle around those three letters.
