Description Hullo all! Apologies for the absence of my usual gushing comments on all your lovely drawings and stories recently; I'll get back to it from now. Long story short - a long term chronic issue with my appendix finally manned up requiring me to have appendectomy surgery. Thank goodness for the NHS! My recovery has not been without its bumps and I've found it difficult to find the time or energy to put pencil to paper (my rediscovery of how much I like sleep hasn't helped either!) So here is a collection of various bits - some old, some newer.


- A finalised design for Arcis (plus the first ever concept art of her, when she was a very different character)

- Poster and character uniform art (starring Mara) for a roleplay I'm in over on the Felarya forums - High School Silliness

- Pictures from my trip to Settle to visit Victoria Cave, which is the basis of Tarynn's cave and its surroundings (you can normally rely on Yorkshire to provide the kind of gloomy weather I needed - Sod's law gave me 26oC sunshine!)

- 1st draft of Tarynn's cave lineart (with Tarynn shown for scale)

- "Painting" based off one of the pictures I took (actually just the result of a lot of photo manipulation, forgive me!)

- Concept drafts for a male fairy character I'm developing

- I rediscovered the first concept art I drew for Tarynn - she had red hair in a centre parting, headband, ponytail and big empty eyes. I soon scrapped it when I realised how similar to Ravana3k's Jora she looked!

- A snippet from the next chapter of the Tarynn comic (nowhere near finished, sorry!)

You're quite welcome! The bottom right pic of Tarynn falling over had to be my favorite of them XD

Great to see you back dude!  You're presence is always very much appreciated here!  


These doodles are both very nice to look at and a fascinating look into your creative process.  I really love the look of that cave, and then when your remember how large Tarynn is, and realize just what a yawning cavern that place is from a human perspective.


Also, red-head Proto-Tarynn looks very tsundere to me for some reason, and then this popped into my head:  "I'm not eating you because you taste good or anything, I'm just hungry. Baka."

I got excited when my messages notified me that I'd been mentioned in a work, but then I saw that it was just the art I'd already seen. Then I got excited again when I saw that it was from you. ^_^ I hope to see you around a lot more, and sorry to hear you had to go through all that.

its great to hear everything is going pretty well with the surgery aftermath and to see more stuff from you ! What in the world happened to Tarynn in that last pic?! lol

that drawing for Tarynns cave is awesome, its pretty massive fit for a giant for sure .  lol and nudie Tarynn there checking it out, i guess she hasn't got around to fashioning those garments yet.


I gotta check out the rest of these chars you included too

Ahh I was wondering why that last pic looked like Tarynn and Jade had their DNA put in a Walfas Cloning Machine. Aslo sorry to hear about your appendix! Ironic since I've been watching MASH too. o.O Just heard B.J. Hunnicut make an appendix joke today actually!

  Yeah I think I like her classic look better. The green blonde hair seems to suit her more. Heh Tarynn in the last pic looks at bit like Smigul from the Lord of the Rings movies examining her new realestate and waiting to devour small theiving Hobbits. XD Arcis (Ark-is? Or Ar-sis?) looks pretty nice too. I see you finaly decided on the color with her. Love that boots and the cute short sleeved pink coat! X3

All in all very nice work! ^_^

Yeah, I'm glad I avoided the redhead look now! Haha, when I came up with the name it was Ar-sis, but I find myself saying it in my head as Ark-is now Thank you for the comment!

david-dent-jedai In reply to SimonLorimer [2013-12-10 05:38:09 +0000 UTC]

Oh she wouldn't have looked too bad, but green is so much more her color. Especially that sickly green. ^_^ I think Ark-is is much better. XD Terrible idea to give you friends the right to call you Arse. Though it would be amusing.

Tam: Hey, Arse!

Arcis: *Reaches out and pulls on Tam's pony tail* WHADYA SAY?! >8O

Tam: Oww! Sorry! But it's your name! T_T

It's great to see you back dude   Those doodles are all really interesting in their own right !  I love the sense of scale you gave with Tarynn's cave   And Mara in school uniform is just cute XD

I like sleep too..it's far too comfy to be right really!  Anyways, sorry to hear about the appendix stuff... I do hope you're all ok now, or if not very soon heh.  Anyways though, fun set of doodles- those high school things sound bizarrely amusing just imagining just what it could be like with that XD.  The panel of Tarynn and the cave though is really striking, just seeing that big somewhat imposing cave there...just draws my eye there.  And really, poor girl, she looks thoroughly traumatized in that last panel!  Her life just never seems to catch much of a break dpes it heh?

SimonLorimer In reply to Asuroth [2013-12-09 19:02:45 +0000 UTC]

Yup yup, all on the mend now thanks! Haha, it is a pretty strange RP scenario - currently she's trying to dodge both injury and attention from some unsavoury characters in gym class! Well now, if her life caught a break it wouldn't really be her life would it? Thanks for commenting!

Tarynn was a red head? Huh, you learn something new everyday. Hell, Kain was not only originally a giant, he was originally supposed to be a SHE. But then I decided to go with the final design.

What happened to Tarynn, she get violated by Vivian...and hated it?

Funny how times change isn't it? Haha, not quite, although I imagine such a scene would have a very similar outcome to this

I'd pay good money to see that. Probably be busting out laughing the whole time. Sad part is, my guys have had a run in with her. They don't like to talk about it.


(great, I think I'm going insane...)

Yes, Tarynn in pain - most bizarre! Happens almost as rarely as Jerid keeping a straight face!

What have you done to Tarynn in that last panel / the comic? Leave her alone!


Interesting ideas in this combination of doodles. I can just imagine what's going through Tarynn's mind as she looks upon the cave (for the first time?).


Sorry to hear about your operation... Sounds rough.

SimonLorimer In reply to FS-the-voresmith [2013-12-09 18:56:56 +0000 UTC]

She's had worse! Ah, that's just a doodle to show the scale of the place - although it'd be the same miserly thoughts every time she sees it I suspect Thanks for your concern, and the comment!

SithLordNergal [2013-12-04 17:49:06 +0000 UTC]

Nice doodles and nice pictures. Hmmm, I say we get poor Tarynn a better cave to live in. Something comfortable, warm, with plenty of soft, comfy places to sleep or relax on. 8D ...Wonder how long she'd let me work on that before she ate me.

SimonLorimer In reply to SithLordNergal [2013-12-09 18:55:27 +0000 UTC]

She'd probably see it as one of the perks of her new cave - like the mint you get on your pillow when you stay at a hotel! Thanks for commenting!

Those are great pictures, but I still haven't gotten a reply to the note I sent months ago.  Also, I finished writing an entire story arc by the time you were gone, so... marathon time?
