Graphite on paper; 2003
Just a pencil sketch of a dwarven army I
made inbetween painting my new wargaming dwarf army. The army is based
for TSR's defunct Battlesystem (which I still staunchly play)and is
composed of figures from games workshop, harlequin and some old ral
parthas and grenadiers. The sketch underwent a massive transformation
when I got the LOTR Fellowship of the Ring filmbook as a gift. The lead
dwarf was redrawn wearing armor similar to the movie Gimli.Pencils on
board, with additional shading in photoshop.
Filipino National Artist for Literature Edith Tiempo. Ballpen and markers. Edith L. Tiempo (April 22, 1919 – August 21, 2011), poet, fiction writer, teacher and literary critic was a Filipino writer in the English language.Her poems are intricate verbal transfigurations of significant experiences as revealed, in two of her much anthologized pieces, "Lament for the Littlest Fellow" and "Bonsai." As fictionist, Tiempo is as morally profound. Her language has been marked as "descriptive but unburdened by scrupulous detailing." She is an influential tradition in Philippine Literature in English. Together with her late husband, writer and critic Edilberto K. Tiempo, they founded (in 1962) and directed the Silliman National Writers Workshop in Dumaguete City, which has produced some of the Philippines' best writers.She was conferred the National Artist Award for Literature in 1999.
