"What will you do now?"

"Oh, [...] grovel, I suppose."

The Queen of Attolia, Megan Whalen Turner

Attolia Irene The Queen's Thief | Charcoal on paper

"She thought of the hardness and the coldness she had cultivated over those years and wondered if they were the mask she wore or if the mask had become her self. If the longing inside her for kindness, for warmth, for compassion, was the last seed of hope for her, she didn't know how to nurture it or if it could live." - Megan Whalen Turner, The Queen of Attolia (The Queen's Thief, #2)

The Queen's Thief is one of my favorite book series and I've had this drawing brewing in my head for a while. #WinASignedSetofTheQueensThief2024 was a great excuse for me to finally get it on paper!

Costis and Kamet reading ''Thick as Thieves'' For Hamiathes's Gift Exchange for @allcanonisrelative :) <3

aaand a secondary gift with Teleus and Relius

And Costis heard, as clearly as he'd heard the king speaking, another voice. It said, "Go to bed." Eugenides the man and Eugenides the God, an illustration of one of my favourite scenes from The King of Attolia! This was my gift for @etoilegarden for the @hamiathesgiftexchange!

Trying to get used to Clip Studio Paint, I started doodling and who should appear but... Attolia Irene! Nobody is surprised!

I'm too lazy to dig up old drawings I've done of her to post side by side... maybe tomorrow. I need sleep.

Audacity incarnate.

Marika and Messmer frames from my Elden Ring animatic “Blue”. As she dies from the shattered ring, Marika reminisces of the past and the son who loved her the most.

- “Sorry, mom. If I was only... normal”

- “Hey

Blue food isn't normal

Blue food is strange

And that's why it's my favorite

I never want it to change

To make it boring orange or green

Why be blah

When there's aquamarine”

———-

A mix of frames using a couple comic bases my tutor sent over, and some from imagination using Marika’s sculpted head from the end of the game.

a path, but not a plan

Sophos and Irene in A Conspiracy of Kings, a gift illustration I made for @alecjmarsh as part of the @hamiathesgiftexchange

I'm trapped in quarantine so I've decided all my male practice art is just going to be Gen :' ) it's giving me the opportunity to actually paint in clip studio and boy I am struggling

Eugenides Attolis

Eugenides leaving earrings at the altar of his god then leaving earrings for Irene I'm firing myself into the sun

[linovadraws]

Thinking about The Queen's Thief series again so I have to update my Eugenides headcanon

[eddisfargo]

Doing this now because I am LITERALLY in capable of doing anything not at the last possible minute, and because this contest ends on Nov 1 (if it's EST I'm coming in a solid 2 hours before the deadline, unless it ends earlier today, in which case the real prize was the arte I made along the way!)

So, my all-time fave, @meganwhalenturner is doing a contest to win a signed set of the gorgeous new QT editions!

One of the things she requested was a new version of an old fanart, to see how much you've improved. Don't mind if I do! As the self-appointed High Priestess of the Mole God, I make strictly incredible arte.

Way back in June of 2020, I created my first QT fanart pretty much by accident. I remember a legitimately incredibly talented artist had just drawn something with a lot of stairs, and was mentioning that it had been a bit of a pain. So I kindly offered her a tutorial on easy stair drawing:

(Quoth a younger me: draw a line. 90 degree turn. 90 degree turn. 90 degree turn. voila!)

I drew a quick sketch, that I then thought it would be funny to turn into a depiction of the same scene.

And I was right! It was hilarious!

But since that day four years ago, I think I've really come into my own as an artist.

(For added hubris, I'm writing this before I've finished the new version of the picture).

Please see under the cut for my new techniques!

Note my new talents!!

I've learned to draw perfect circles, freehand!

I've become acquainted with the magic of speech bubbles!

Action shots suggest MOVEMENT!

Sometimes people have HANDS! (Sometimes)

I got rid of that little screenshot square from the first one!

I have forgotten what clothes are!

Are goats different than sheep? Probably not, right?

Thank you for coming on this journey with me.

I read Queen's Thief over the last year. Have some crappy fanart. It didn't quite come out as what i had in my head

[artbymyth]

Entry one for #WinASignedSetofTheQueensThief2024 ! I really love this series so please forgive my younger fanart. We all learn and grow and figure out proportions eventually… 😂
