Sketch and Color - Gene Leap Pose


This is a random sketch of Gene that I really liked so I decided to throw some color on.

Been a while since I was happy with something like this; very simple and it just ended up looking better than I expected.

Sketch - Gene Doodles

This was done during a really…boring DnD game.
Since the game was such a downer, I ended up doing some sketches and doodles, and here are some of Gene.

I kinda like the small one at the bottom.


Sketches - Gene Expressions


I’ve been trying to do a bunch of sketches to get my art going again, so for today here is a random page with Gene and some expressions.

This was inspired by some work my friend Yark did during a stream, so I decided to try and have some fun with the idea as well.
Besides, I need a lot more practice with different expressions, and it’s fun to see Gene with different looks.

Dragonborn Garrus


Since Garrus here is my newest DnD character I will be playing, I figured I would throw some color on him here.
Not completely satisfied with how he turned out, but I do like his look here overall.
Decided to break away from the typical design for dragonborn just to play around a bit.
Garrus Steelclaw - Male Dragonborn Swordmage

Garrus is a dragonborn that hails from the Steelclaw clan, a small clan that live in the port town of Kelarth on an arid continent that lies in the shadow of one of the pieces of Arkoshian history.
He wields an ancient scimitar; the Grandfather, a family heirloom said to come from the time of the Empire and is his prized possession.

During his military training at a young age, Garrus had started to study the art of sword-making and sword play, hoping someday that he would follow the steps of the ancient dragonborn ‘kensai’. His curiosity grew about the Arkoshian history and during his studies he discovered texts that talked about those who combined sword fighting with magic, the bladesingers and the swordmages.
Fascinated by what he read, Garrus started to study and train in the ancient arcane arts and started to follow the path of a swordmage, even though he wasn’t sure if he would get a chance to use his skills.

While Garrus lead a fairly normal life, things took a dramatic turn one night when he had a quarrel with a friend; Alric Stonefang, and the two left each others company.  That would be the last night he would see Alric alive; later Garrus discovered that his friend had been killed and the dragonborn was arrested for the murder.

Garrus knew he was innocent, but all evidence had pointed to him and very few spoke up in his defense.  Everything looked bleak for Garrus but on the night he was being moved to a new location for his trial, something happened and the guards were attacked by ‘something’ and Garrus made a run for it before he was killed as well.
He knew he would be a wanted criminal now and he had to leave, so he took what meager supplies he had and stowed away onto a ship that was headed out of Kerlath and towards Deepholme.

Now a stranger in a new land, Garrus hopes that someday that he could find answers to what happened to Alric, what had attacked the guards, and prove his innocence once and for all.

Sketch - Gene Crouch


Random sketch of Gene.  Again I tried working on some kind of movement pose or at least some kind of action/non-stiff pose.
 Not sure if I succeeded at all.

Sketches - Dragonborn Character Concepts


Some sketches of two dragonborn characters I made and may end up playing at some point in a DnD game.
Garren the dragonborn monk and Garrus the dragonborn swordmage.

No One Is Coming


“You are an idiot, you know that?  You think you have friends and allies supporting you, but you don’t. You have no one.
No one is coming for you.  You are alone.”

Some vent art, and me experimenting with the Crayon brush in SAI.
