DETAILS

Thalion was the first character I created for an experiment involving record keeping, habit building, and 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. It took three years (2014-2016) to level him from 1 to 20.

I didn't put a lot of effort into this illustration because I wasn't sure I was going to like him. By the time he hit 20, though, I did like how he turned out and a redo might pop up later down the line. I'd forgotten to upload him in 2017...o well xD





This illustration has a

video! Watch it at

When I initially finished the raw footage of the speed art, I’d forgotten Thalion had scales (a feature of his draconic ancestry). It was a quick fix to do and I didn’t bother recording it because I forgot (and this little ordeal was how the title came about "By the way...um, he has scales"). Trying to make this video fit for this year's speed art format was enough work. I just slapped the corrected illustration between the progression footage and credits, then sipped my green tea while giving a thumbs up.
