Hey Apath,

Yep, use references for everything! Usually I collect maybe 5-10 images and then take elements from each that I like and then turn them into something completely new.

When I use reference I'm not trying to copy the pieces in, just trying to take something. It could be using the proportions, or the shapes. For these sketches I'll use my fantasy interior pinterest board and look out what furniture they have. Or how they have designed the walls or columns. Then I'll see if I can take some of that design and reconfigure it into my own

Slowly making progress on the lineart.

More progress! Linework is taking hours upon hours to finish. But starting to look pretty cool! Any critique/ideas on how to make this Viking Hall even cooler?

More progress, in the final stage now. Just adding some story telling elements throughout the piece. I think looking back, I might have tackled too large of a room. Might start with some smaller projects to begin with.

Bada Bing, Bada Boom! Finally finished, much faster than last project but still need to work on my speed! Let me know what you think and if you have any critique!

Working away on my 3rd project - Prop Design and spending a few hours a week on painting. Here are some thumbnails for my 3rd project (Please tell me your top 5) and a head painting that took me roughly 2 hours.

First rough finished for design 1. Going to make at least 2 more variations on this design before I commit to a final line art drawing. Any ideas what you might bring on a fantasy adventure?
