Recent photos from the Queensland Cup in Australia where I got to profight against Astrid, who unnervingly giggles when she gets hits. I beat her this time but with some more training, she’ll be a tank! Also featuring my new green jupon that I made! Photos all by the incredible @chrismitranondphotography
I’ve been waiting for the right photo before posting too much about this years Battle of the Nations but the Australian women’s team came third in the world this year and I am so proud to say that I was on that team. This is a sisterhood that I hope I get to feel year after year.
The first leg of my journey was all the way through France to Barcelona. Our hotel was waiting for us only a few minutes walk from La Monumental, where Battle of the Nations 2017 was to be held. We were in a rush to check in to our room, so we aimed to do the drive in a little over 10 hours, all on the opposite side of the road and car and while we had already been on planes for 24 hours. We got to drive through the beautiful countryside of Bordeaux without speaking a word of French. I would love to this drive again but give myself at least a week to roam the countryside and make the most of the beautiful landscape.
(Phew! Been silent for a while because of various deadlines, but now they’re in the past and it seems I’m going to graduate from the animation course very soon!!)
I eventually got around to buying TVpaint and a wacom and, since I can’t seem to get pen pressure to work easily in GIMP, I decided to try out Krita, and it seems pretty neat.
Here’s my character (in full gear) for an upcoming DnD campaign, an elderly goblin paladin, Mok. Her faith in fate (or destiny?) is so strong that she literally lets a coin flip determine all important decisions for her. I can’t wait to see all the trouble this will lead her into.
The lineart is traditional ink, colors painted digitally in Krita.
Here’s a picture of her being a good paladin, exercising her faith:
I spend so much time in these rocks as a kid but only last autumn managed to return there to take pictures. I do not feel as if I made the best use of the Location, so obviously I need to do it again. Also, never try to be a photographer while wearing all that armor…
