the second iteration of broomface girl.

Nice... Ah but where is shovel nose boy?

This one's still in progress but I'm impatient so I'll share it real quick anyway:



how his design has evolved over the years:


full/shaded version cos idk if I posted it here yet or nah. sorry if i already did oops haha

So whats the story behind this dude?

Wow. I love these! Are they done in pen?

Thank you kindly. Yes, most of my drawings are in pen. A few of them are in colored pencil, marker, or charcoal.

He's a battlemage (and also non-binary!) from a world that I've called Nivaas that's dominated by 3 major clans. His clan is infamous for their use of magic and he was specially bred to be as powerful as possible... which will of course, later on down the road, be the catalyst for some unforseen consequences.

He's a battlemage sentinel, which means he's part of the group that wanders the outskirts of the territory and alerts to any potential surprise attackers. But when the clans all went to war and pretty much annihilated one another, he was sent to the front lines. After the war died down he set off on his own to try to find an artifact that could supposedly undo the damage that had been done.

Very cool... you should write a book with illustrations. Or is that an animated film? Whichever.. you should do it.

Another WIP from latest painting

Wow... your paintings are amazing!

Finally finished this dude:

That guy has to be some sort of monk?!

Sort of! Since he's a warrior I'm not really sure if he could be considered one, but in training and throughout their lives they do quite a lot of meditation exercises to help them control their magic.

Here you guys go!

TO WAR!!

@ Awesome color and lighting job on that character!


This Smilodon fatalis, or saber-toothed cat, would have enjoyed its grizzly bear breakfast had an alligator not interjected with its own predation. Now the sabertooth knows what it's like to have something higher on the food chain than itself!

When I was a kid I had this Zoobooks magazine issue with a spectacular illustration of a Nile crocodile nabbing a male lion on the leg, and I wanted to channel that with the alligator's attack on the sabertooth. I have to say I love seeing reptiles dominate mammalian predators this way.


This medieval Frankish knight, who has chosen to run away from the atrocities of the Crusades, is being nursed back to health by a beautiful nganga (healer) from Central Africa. As you can see, they're clearly enjoying each other's company in the process.

I can't help but think the guy reminds me of the (horribly inaccurate) portrayal of John Smith from the Disney Pocahontas movie. But don't worry, these aren't real historical characters, so there's no real historical events to forcefully hammer into the Disney romantic formula this time.


I made this little map for a small writing project of mine, which has Native American hunter-gatherers from the western Great Plains fall via spacetime warp into West Africa. It'll be my subversion of the whole "Old and New World meeting before Columbus" trope that has inspired a few crackpot historical speculations. They seem to be preoccupied with other cultures discovering the Americas before Columbus or the Norse, but you almost never hear them claim travel in the opposite direction (in other words, Native Americans discovering the Old World rather than vice versa).

In this story's timeline, "Atlantis" is the pre-Columbian name for the Americas, which would make the Native Americans simply "Atlanteans" (hey, it takes only one word to say and it doesn't confuse them with the people of India). Kemet on the other hand is what the ancient Egyptians called their country, and the Mande are the West African people my "Atlantean" characters meet. Descendants of the Mande would later found the empires of Ghana/Wagadou and Mali which would dominate the West African region.
