Darantha's sketchbook

[Darantha]

Thanks Tygerson, I've got a bit of a preference for layering and realistic designs :'D Drives me nuts when a costume design have stuff hanging and dangling with no rhyme or reason.

Finished this fun commission for a private client a little while ago. I don't paint enough dragons, was fun to get to :D


Patreon sketches, first a modern wizard and the second a fire dancer.



Lastly some eye and nose studies.

I'm in love with the blues in the dragon painting! Is it the values, orange-y pink, and purples that make them so brilliant?

[Darantha]

Yeah, I suggested the vague pre-dawn light to my client (Who had requested it being night-time) help contrast the blues, and so I could have a excuse to make the desert environment a bit more clear. >_> Was worried it'd end up just being blue upon blue otherwise.


Finished another commission last week.


And a piece of World of Warcraft fanart


I feel really unsure about magical effects so they were both a bit of challenge in that regard. >_>

And last week's Patreon sketch; a tiefling courtesan.

Wow! very good paintings! :)

[Darantha]

Thank you Genesis! :)

Finished another Critical Role piece. It's all fun and games until one of the players just breaks my tender little heart with one single line in that show.



And the Patreon sketches from the last couple of weeks



More colour studies from misc game cinematics

Hi, great art! That green goblin is so adorable! I like how you give a lot of details to your images which tell a story and it's interesting to look at paintings for longer time.

[Darantha]

Thank you Juneau! :) Always worry I try to cram too much into my images.


Decided to be very selfindulgent and paint up something I sketched during a Patreon stream. Mercy and McCree are two of my favorite characters in Overwatch, and this idea of 'mission gone really sideways' had been stuck in my head for ages.


A finished bust commission of a tiefling bard


Patreon sketches

I've been listening to the History of Rome podcast so ended up feeling the late empire-Byzantine inspiration hit for this holy warrior sketch.


Halfling princess. Fell in love with the berets in some late 15th-century paintings. :')


Court sorceress

Cool! your characters have great expressions! and i love how you paint the cat in post #65 over all you have a great ability to express your characters feelings!

[Rainwater]

Awesome characters! My favorite one is that grinning goblin holding the swan statue :) 
Keep going!
