A pencil sketch of a small, segmented creature called a Scatheleech, drawn on cream-toned paper. The creature has multiple legs, a curled tail, and a pointed head with a circular eye, giving it a slightly eerie, unnatural appearance. The body is shaded in graphite with a matte, ink-like texture. To the right of the sketch are four dark green and brown pencils, neatly arranged. A black tablet or e-reader rests at the top edge of the open sketchbook. The words "Scatheleech", "T.J. Hassall", and "2025" are written in calligraphic font on the page.

Sketch Saturday: Scatheleech – Worldbuilding Creature Art

Sketch Saturday: Scatheleech For this Sketch Saturday, I’m sharing another creature from Lunaaris (also seen in Viridorn). It is small, strange and a little bit of a sucker, so to speak. It’s the third entry in my creature sketches, and I was pleasantly pleased to create it despite its form. I didn’t want this to…

A pencil sketch of a plant called "Baethirvein" in a soft-toned sketchbook. The plant has broad, textured leaves with subtle vein detail and a single, small five-petalled flower blooming at the top. The flower is lightly shaded to stand out from the graphite tones of the leaves. Three green graphite pencils are placed on the right side of the sketchbook, and a black Kindle rests on the left. The name "Baethirvein" is written in elegant digital calligraphy at the bottom of the page, along with the artist’s signature: “T. J. Hassall 2025.”

Sketch Saturday: Baethirvein – Flora Sketch

Sketch Saturday: Baethirvein Flora Sketch This week’s sketch is something a little different and a little special. It’s my birthday today, and although I struggled with this one more than expected, I wanted to keep my Sketch Saturday series going. Here it is: Baethirvein, also known as Bittervein, sketched during a rare flowering moment. This…

Sketch Saturday: Esocling – Worldbuilding Creature Art

Sketch Saturday: Esocling I didn’t manage to share a map post this week, but I’ve finished the next few maps and will start sharing them over the coming weeks. For this week, I’m returning to creature art sketches with my second drawing in the series. This is the Esocling. Drawn in pencil, this small lizard-like…

A pencil sketch of a single flower called the Aescinpetal, drawn in a soft-toned sketchbook. The flower has layered, ash-grey petals that resemble swirling smoke and a delicate stem with two sets of leaves. A faint white ring of ash circles the base of the stem, drawn beneath the plant. Three green graphite pencils rest beside the page. The name “Aescinpetal” is written in elegant, digital calligraphy at the bottom right.

Sketch Saturday: Aescinpetal – First Flora Sketch

Sketch Saturday: Aescinpetal Flora Sketch This is my very first flora sketch, and I’ve been super nervous to share it. Until now, I’ve only drawn creatures for this world. I’ve finished four so far, but recently, I started exploring the flora, and Aescinpetal was the first on the list. It seemed like a good place…

A pencil sketch of an insect-like creature called a Khautfly, drawn in a sketchbook. The creature has semi-translucent, blackened wings with faint rune-like markings, a thin sooty-grey body, and void-black eyes. The page shows delicate linework and some pencil smudging. The name “Khautfly” is added digitally beside the drawing.

Sketch Saturday: First Creature Sketch – The Khautfly

Sketch Saturday: Khautfly This is the first time I’ve shared one of my creature sketches from the world I’m building. I’ll be honest, I’m a little nervous about it. While worldbuilding, I realised I needed to see what I was describing. So I took my list of Lunaaris creatures and decided to start sketching them,…
