I always feel bad that I don’t post enough art. So here. Have some more. For the game— I feel like I have to take a big breath to even type this—

Advanced Dimensional Green Ninja Education Preparatory Super Elementary Fortress 555

(Or ADGNEPSEF for, uh, short)

Seriously if you are ever at GenCon or Origins, play this game. It’s hilarious and the main mechanic is candy. You play elementary-age versions of anime tropes and wear silly hats and yell a lot.

iamtoothandclaw:

Did I post this? I can’t remember if I posted this. Done in fifteen minutes for the most bullshit Digital Art class ever back when I was in college. The poor teacher didn’t know that digital painting was a thing.

iamtoothandclaw:

More very old stuff from when I was in college.

iamtoothandclaw:

The best ink thing I have ever done, and again, old, but this still lives in my portfolio.

I was in this really high concept Changeling: The Dreaming game, wherein we played characters remembering their past lives backwards through time, chronicling the important events that shaped modern London. We helped WWI era soldiers, swooned in victorian opium dens, dealt with Charles and the concept of Kingship, and the romantic poets, and Chaucer, and Elizabethian politics, and so very much more. This was Invidiana, one of our re-occurring villains, the shadow queen of Faerie in contrast to Elizabeth.

Our GM took some of the story seeds from this game, the ideas that really stuck with her, filed off all the serial numbers, developed them all to herself, and now you can read the books to which this game was the ancestor:

Marie Brennan’s Midnight Never Come, In Ashes Lie, A Star Shall Fall, and With Fate Conspire

And I will forever pimp them because they are *excellent* and impeccably researched and intricately plotted.

iamtoothandclaw: Doodlin’.

iamtoothandclaw:

Doodlin’.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:35:20 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

This is the best portrait I ever did of this character. Played her in a Changeling LARP for 5 years. Liza, I miss you!

iamtoothandclaw:

Some kids book work. Oh god my inking. I am startled by how very much that has improved in the past year.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:35:02 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

A fun, quick character commission done as a Kickstarter award for a friend. I dig this chick. Like a lot. She needs her own comic series.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:34:51 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

Prince Nuada, done at Origins 2012, cleaned up a little in Photoshop. Cinema needs more Faeries, stat. Especially hot, badass ones.

iamtoothandclaw: Some collected sketches.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:34:32 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

Some collected sketches.

iamtoothandclaw: Progress on a tattoo design.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:34:23 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

Progress on a tattoo design.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:34:12 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

Commission proposal. I like when I get to do abstract illustration stuff! There were some minor changes, and the background was turned into a dark green.

iamtoothandclaw: This first illustration job I ever got was for...

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:34:01 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

This first illustration job I ever got was for Silvervine Games and their awesome world setting, and it was a bunch of these black and white landscape illustrations.

The reference I used for this was a photograph I took when exploring and abandoned quarry cave in Fiesole, the little town right above Florence, Italy. A lot of pictures from that time have become great reference fodder, and instill in me an affection for these images that has nothing to do with their subject or quality. I miss my Firenze very much.

iamtoothandclaw: Designing supervillains for fun and profit!...

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:33:40 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

Designing supervillains for fun and profit! Like, actual profit. Because they’re hopefully going to be used in an upcoming game. Oh god more old stuff! 2010?

iamtoothandclaw: She doesn’t look happy about something.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:33:28 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

She doesn’t look happy about something.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:33:16 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

A pair of Pathfinder characters, twins. I went a little overboard with their costume designs and I am not sorry,

This was before I learned what “textures” were, apparently. 2010.

iamtoothandclaw: Very quick study.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:33:00 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

Very quick study.

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:32:52 -0400

iamtoothandclaw:

Resulting from an online argument about queer folks, I channeled my indignation into doing something bright a cheerful and fucking hot just for my own goddamn pleasure. This is my colorful air pirate rainbow girlfriend and her abs are better than yours. Suck eggs, haters.

iamtoothandclaw:

Fanart 100 Prompt: Mankind

Seriously considering making this a tee-shirt for myself.

iamtoothandclaw:

Evanescence

More playing with abstracts. Appropriate I’d finish this on the first day of spring! These paintings have been really, really helpful for exploring edge and sublimation and color gamuts without making me feel like they’re work.
