Sketchbook
I don't draw as often as I used to, but I'm trying to coax myself back into it.
This is mostly stuff from 2019 and 2020, with a dusting of 2023 work. Don't ask about the 3 years in between.
All the aliased pieces were drawn in paint tool SAI with a bamboo tablet, the antialiased pics were drawn in procreate with an ipad.

The vault
Oh now you've done it. You've found my old art.
This stuff ranges from 2012 through 2019. The images are in no particular order.
If it looks a lot higher effort than my later stuff, just remember I was unemployed for most of this era.
There is a distinct point where I finally learned to turn tablet sensitivity on. Apologies for the before times.
I'm sure you'll endure.
![Concept for a kurai. Don't remember if he was a proper character or not.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/beef.png)
![My first pass on the nokai. The only real change is I gave them 5 fingers, and the antlers should be black.<br>Based on the costume design, this was obviously the basis for Yevekai.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/naiko.png)
![Not the first take on a sephus, but one of the first. I'd eventually give the talons to the iroth.<br> Not sure why I gave him snake eyes. Definitely not a vesian trait.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/sephus.png)
![Anzo, back when he was a human character in since-abandoned worldbuilding project.<br> I liked most of his design and recycled as much as I could afford to.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/anzoearly.png)
![Early Anzo design. Who's the guy with one leg? I sure don't remember.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/am.png)

![An old monster that I should probably bring back.<br> He started out with four arms, but I got tired of drawing that many.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/dange-o.png)
![Another monster from the same project. I bet she'd fit well into shadowside.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/wrecked.png)

![One of my old neopet designs](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/jaihu.png)

![A creature design who I should definitely use for shadowside](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/monster1w.png)
![Some very early Aphelion concepts!<br> The <i>kaleesh</i> would become the jaishaid, but the base concepts are already evident.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/mounts.png)
![This was a really cute design. I bet I could get away with recycling him.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/sin.png)
![Nazir as a neopet](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/slick.png)
![One of my earliest takes on what Grenvel should look like. Lots of minor changes, but the vibes are there.<br> I'd like to revisit the northern basin and range idea. Also Pyrox was a great name.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/grenvil.png)
![Bones, my New Vegas courier. He fucking sucks.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/bones.png)
![Bones is like 5'3'' and none of his clothes fit right.](https://shattered.world/img/sketch/bones2.png)
