Can't do tablet work, so back to Traditional I go.

I've been unable to use my tablet for a while and have been struggling with a long, painful art block. I'm trying desperately to get back into the groove of things, so I just picked up a sketchbook and started sketching. This is some fan-art for my World of Warcraft troll hunter, Tanin, and his spirit beast, TanAlarion.

Pen on paper, sketched using a #2 clicky pencil and inked with a cheap BiC pen.

[Edit]
Something about that last sketch helped to bust through into something creative, and I did another! Something about troll hunters, really. This one is a little fan-art for a friend's RP'd Beastmaster, Zulabachi, and his favorite carrion bird Walder. I pulled this one into Photoshop and slapped on some color.

Wow. That is very impressive!

Hope you get over your art block soon. Those things are absolutely horrible. D:

That is gorgeous! I wish Loque actually looked like that in-game. :D

Also, that Troll gentleman is very hot. :P

Oh this is lovely! And I agree with Mozag, I do like Loque as he is ingame, but he'd look even better like this! Love the details on the troll. :D

I'm generally not a fan of male trolls but THIS guy is definitely something I like! :D

Wow, I wish I could "sketch" half as good as the people on these boards. Amazing work!!! And I agree, Loque might have stuck around with me if he looked like that. :)

Thank you all for the positive feedback, it helped push through the burnout and do another one. Death to art blocks, woo! If I could send hugs through the internet, I would. :)
