…he’s a goat!

Cerdic

A respected and feared man, Cerdic is charismatic, handsome, and sly. This Anglo-Saxon fighter is very devoted to his king, people and church.

Robert

Nicknamed ‘the Norman Lion’, this loyal, quiet, battle-weary foreign bodyguard was granted the title of Manglabitēs and often is asked for counsel by the Akolouthos.

Girl of Many Names

Our protagonist: loud, proud, (over) protective, determined, gangly, bright, aggressive  – and has a fondness for goats.

Sigfríðr

Beautiful, kind, organized, strong and eager-to-please, this character strives to be the perfect daughter, friend, wife, mother and hostess – a task not easy under certain pressures (including have to deal with a calf head on her shoulders!). She has a great ally in her sister, whom she loves dearly but doesn’t always pay mind to.

My posts have been few and far between. I hope to break that cycle for a few weeks, but rest assured that I will revert back to my old ways within a month – work is keeping me busy, but so is the designing of a new site! Before summer (fingers crossed) I hope to relaunch my site, to begin anew with a fresh look, proper portfolio and a smartly designed blogged. Fingers crossed.

And so begins one of a handful of posts.

Troll

This character, a ‘half’-troll, is from my in-development-personal-comic-project Tatterhood. As the deuteragonist, he’s irksome, stingy, sensitive, cynical and oh-so-awkward. Why yes, I DID base his personal traits after myself…mainly the awkwardness. Nobody does awkward like me!

So, if you’re wondering what all of this is about, I would recommend reading this.

Yggdrasils has a lot on its shoulders...

This is the digital image that was printed onto transfer paper and applied to a wooden mailbox. The colours may look off (the blue is very vivid for me!) but that’s because this was a CMYK print file, and some of the colours were not too happy about becoming RGB for the screen. I hope to post larger, zoomed-in chunks of the ‘mailbox pieces/characters’ soon. Things are very, very busy at work right now!

A Young Tatterhood

I cannot believe how busy I have been in the past few months – and I expect to be even busier in the months to come. I am still alive, just working. Working on many, many things. There appears to always be so much to do on ‘the list’, and yet I never seem to get any closer to finishing. Thankfully, I am young, so while the image above may be but a peak into a story in the works that will not be completed until a few years down the road, I do have the time to put it on the bottom of the list, as much as I hate to (though I will always be working on it here and there).  Tatterhood can wait.

Boar (Monty Python Black Knight)

I have sadly been neglecting my sketch books. But I have been having a lot of fun at work (how can dinosaurs not be fun?). Please note how the pictures have nothing to do with what I just said.

Griffin

Recently I’ve been doing some spring cleaning, and I’ve decided to sell the rest of the medieval (medieval, renaissance, fantasy, etc) banners from my wedding. There are 13 in total available (currently only 12 are showing up on ebay. I guess the Black Knight banner is just too dangerous to release immediately). Act now! I’m crazy! About selling banners!
