An endless source of energy and enthusiasm, we have no trouble motivating Alika to participate in classes. She is a wonderful flier with a natural ease in the air, soaring steadily and neatly for hours at a time. She is friends with almost everyone, often leading the way and encouraging her fellows to join her. … Continue reading Alika
Amber is a lithe creature from the warm sands east of here. Typically these gryphons need no help with flying, but that is not why she is here. Amber wishes to be an explorer. It is no use to master only the warm winds of the desert if she wishes to travel the world. She … Continue reading Amber
We may as well also speak on Duke’s best friend, and frequent accomplice in the “sun-dazzled” routine, Pan. Many friendships arise when soaring through the air together, but Duke and Pan seem to have a very strong bond, founded mostly in mischief. Pan, thankfully, is the calmer of the two, and because of his multiple … Continue reading Pan
We cannot improve without the odd trip or stumble. Poor Aspa, however, has fallen more than any student I have known before. As a teacher it can be frustrating to watch. Like all of his kin, Cloudtop dragons are naturally very good fliers, sailing on high winds with barely a flap of their wings. For … Continue reading Aspa

In order to better control my time and keep track of my progress, I decided in January to work only on the larger spreads and full pages for Silver Jill, getting the bulk of then … Continue reading Week 09 – Inking Complete
After so many neglectful weeks away from regular posts, perhaps a recap of events is in order. Though progress is presently slow, I am gradually plodding my way through the many Silver Jill pages, and I’m mostly happy with the work done so far. The odd one or two spreads may see some elements replaced, … Continue reading Weekly Review – 08
For Inktober this year, I decided to make artwork for an eventual end product - a highly requested colouring book. These Inktober dragons were well received on Instagram, which in itself is encouraging. With October long gone, I finally got around to ordering and listing the print versions of the colouring book - only for … Continue reading Week 48 – Colouring Books & Listening to your Fans
This week, I did something a little new: I tracked my time usage. It’s not overly riveting, but it is helpful to see how effective or ineffective I am throughout the day. I simply write when I start a task, and what the task is, and make notes of relevant interruptions. Working freelance and from … Continue reading Week 29: Time Keeping
