These are my new girls Fladder and Zoetgras.
Fladder has only been known as a baby so far (daughter of Bloesem and my character Schudspeer), and Zoetgras isn't born yet when checking the info on the sites currently online. Actually her parents haven't even fully recognized yet (her daddy is still a…

Okay, let me explain... This happened last August when my cousin Tineke and me were brainstorming for the big change in our sisterholts (Zonnemeer & Zomerbron) and we were aging all our characters by 50 years.

I was browsing her ZB drawings on her computer and came across the picture you see on the…

Character designs I made in July 2008. Schroef will be under the care of someone else (I just made him older, 'cause I still liked his original design), but Grootwiel is mine!

He used to be troll king, but when he heard whispers that he would be assassinated he fled and managed on his own for over…

Character designs I made in July 2008. My girls in full length ánd in color, for when my character descriptions confuse you. ;P

I came across a picture of a teen band and figured their poses would look great on some of the new youth of our holts. Started the sketch a while back, finished it last weekend.

When I was preparing the picture in Photoshop for uploading, I suddenly had this idea in mind of presenting them as a ban…

Inspired by the 100 themes list (this is 97). Roodklauw doesn't like anything that stings, but he is the helpfull type, so when Hommel asked him he had to take some precautions first...

My cousin gave me this really pretty, rough, grayish paper with white freckles. Yes, freckled paper! And I'm loving it.
I made this portrait of Zoetgras in fur. Drawn and shaded with pencils, highlights with white pencil.

This is a portrait of my storyteller from Zonnemeer Borg, Schudspeer. He is Fladder's father, and the oldest elf in the tribe.

Here's Fladder again, daughter of Schudspeer. Falconer and director at your service.

Had to present you the father of Zoetgras as well of course. This is Lispel, gatherer and inventor. He's only 20 years older than his daughter and so they are more like best frie…

I'm doing some more portraits on the freckled paper.
This here is my character old troll king Grootwiel. His ruling days have been over for many years though, and he likes pottery now. ;P
Drawn with pencils and a white colored pencil.

Here's another portrait on that greyish freckled paper. I was figuring out who I'd place with Grootwiel, and decided to go for Smoes. She's one of the trolls who escaped the great troll war in Zomerbron with her son Turf and her daughter Sleutel. Eventually when she meets Grootwiel from Zonnemeer th…

I've neglected Pinvis a lot since I've created Fladder and Zoetgras, so I decided she needed some attention. Of course she became more of an adult too during those 50 years, and she mellowed a bit. This is her in her new winter clothing.

As I'm browsing through some old pictures anyways (2008), I came across this one I still like very much. It was my reply to a Tekenslurf that was running on the Zonnemeer/Zomerbron forum, where we replied to each other's drawing with a drawing (often with some text).

"Hoopje op Storm!" basically me…

Quick picture I made of Fladder, I was trying to design her falconer glove a bit (probably should've used an example). Ponytail suits her too.

Pinvis swimming for Drawing Day 2010!
I'm not sure the effect is quite what I was going for. I found a great photo for reference, but it was in a pool; I think for it to have a natural effect I should've made it all darker.

An entry for another sketch meme.
Hommel is for my cousin Tineke.

She's got a strong magic in deepsensing (what Suntoucher has, for those who do not know the magic). So strong she doesn't dare to touch others, because she'll feel their emotions wash over her like waves. In this picture she's prob…

A character design I drew a few years ago; sketching this while my cousin gave me instructions of what she wanted him to look like.

Oh, more on our holt can be found here: http://ziltemuzen.deviantart.com

Little sketch I did at work.

After a sketch fest prompt.

From feathers to kite, Brenger's many tries and bruises, Lispel's new invention just might work. Will the search for "the flying elf" finally come to an end?

Another sketch done at work.
I guess I find Fladder easiest to do when I have no examples or descriptions nearby. ;]

After the sketch fest prompt "sticks and stones".

I though of Turf and Lispel when I read this -- they are my problemsolvers, and somehow I saw Turf as stone (strength) and Lispel as stick (brains). The picture shows something they'd solve using sticks and stones...

After a sketch fest prompt.

Long story short; Smoes had a man named Dronk, but a war split them up and she thought he died. Many years later she meets Grootwiel, and though she hesitates a loooong time, eventually they fall in love. Some time after that Dronk reunites with the tribe, finding his…

A picture I made for Drawing Day 2011.

I'm gonna recolor this one, because I don't really like how it turned out. I should've used some examples for this light, the background should've been darker and I don't really like the figures in the back either.
But since Zoetgras herself turned out okay, I decided to upload it here.

Part of a series I started; A4 sized pictures of my Zilte Muzen characters with colorful background done in copic markers.

This is Lispel. I really needed to make a decent picture of him after the timejump, show he looks older but is basically still the same guy. Finally succeeded. His friend Ramme…
