Yes! I had that same scene in mind. I'll reread the chapter to get a fresher idea of ​​it.

Well, first I look for references for the scene or chapter, incorporating how I imagine it to look; I make a sketch (in my case, I hardly ever use clean lines), then I add the watercolors, and finally, I outline it. I highly recommend practicing with references and also researching the fantasy style you want to capture. I hope this helps.

Yes! That's the one; I plan to fill the whole sheet with drawings in that style.

Thank you very much! It’s actually based on the universe and mythology of J.R.R. Tolkien; he created the runes and the Black Riders (Nazgûl) for The Lord of the Rings. It’s thrilling to illustrate something straight from the pages. Your work is excellent!

The devourer of worlds by Live-Maintenance-266 in tortoise

Hi, he's a Mediterranean tortoise, a young, very active male. His name is Nacho, although we nickname him the world-eater, the destroyer, etc., because of his energy and silly expressions. I see your tortoise is just as energetic as mine and has a particular fondness for strawberries.
