I’m busily working away on my latest commission piece, which is without a doubt one of the most complex and challenging pieces I’ve ever attempted. It’s a role-play based picture and has 5 non-human characters, including 2 gnomes, and a bunch of humans hanging around in the background. It’s going to have 9-10 characters in…
