It is no secret that the artwork I show here is mostly from my current fantasy project, a book I'm writing. This is a project that has been going on for little over ten years, on and off in periods. It has been rewritten, edited, scrapped and revived several times, and I'm still not quite satisfied with it.

That's why I started my own fantasy RP. I've been roleplaying for many years, but I never actually tried to tell a story of my own. My RP was mostly a form of experiment; Did the world I had created work? Was there any flaws and if so, how to correct them? Did the races work? The story itself, was it intresting to experience? And so on, and so on... Many questions needed to be answered. The RP has been going on for almost three years now, on and off in periods, mostly due to IRL things like jobs, studies and people moving. The adventure is reaching it's end, and when I look back, it's been a great journey. Not only because of the story, but because of all the question that I got answered, all the things I learned about my world and its inhabitants.

I have been asked by some people to post parts of my story here on Deviantart. While it flatters and inspires me that you take such intrest in my works, I will not post any parts of my book here. The reason for this is not only because I'm shy and hesitant to let others read what I write, but because I write in my mothertounge - swedish - and I fear that most of the atmosphere of the story would be lost in translation. I do not consider myself capable enough to translate from one language to another and keep the atmosphere, plus my skills in grammar and spelling is also limited. But to know that some of you take such intrest in my story gives me the strength to continue trying to realize my dream.

I will however keep posting artwork, and through those you get a glimpse into my world and get to take part of my story. I will soon reorganize my gallery and most probably remove - or relocate - some artwork. I might find the courage to post some character concept sheets as well if anyone would be intrested.

Phew... so much to do; writing, drawing, story telling... I gotta find the time to enjoy the beautiful summer as well!

Until next time... :wave:

You've got a good gallery there ^^ Lot of different kinds of drawings and so.
It was pretty nice to see improvement there through time. While comparing older pics to newer ones for example it can be seen clearly that anatomy is going better. Folds of the clothes too are starting to look more and more realistic.

Your project on writing a fantasy novel also caught my interest. Do intent to illustrate your book by yourself? That would be great to see. ^^
As finnish person I kind of could read swedish if you changed your mind and put your story up here but then again my skills are not so impressing... u____u'

Anyway, good luck with the story ^__^

wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all
how sweet is the day

Thank you very much for your kinds words. It's heartwarming for hear that the impovement is visible, not only to myself, but to others as well.

As for the novel, I do not intent to illustrate it myself, although I would like. But I do not think that I'm nearly skilled enough for it yet.
As said in my journal, I won't post my novel here, or any parts of it. Perhaps to explain a scene that I've drawn, but no more than that. I'm very happy to hear that you take interest in my novel, though. It's encourageing.

Thank you very much for your visit and comment!

Hey luvey, My friend needs to survey fantasy artists for her report that's due on Tuesday, so if any artists want to go and answer the questions in my journal [link] I'd appreciate it x3 :heart:
