CHAOS ABIDES
The first Leftover & Palette Gremlin for 2024!
The prompt for this came while working on concepts for WIND AND TRUTH earlier this year. The brush marks kept telling me to turn the palette horizontally for a landscape but I refused!
This easily could have turned into a moody Stormlight scene, but I felt like doing an Elric, dammit, so that’s what it ended up being.

About Leftovers & Palette Gremlins
Leftovers are spur-of-the-moment doodles or sketches created with paint left over from a work in progress. (Ever since my poor art student days, I’ve been loathe to discard any usable paint or other art materials!) Many of these quickies end up in the trash, but some give rise to an idea that merits development into a full sized painting.
Palette Gremlins are small creations inspired by random or accidental shapes in my immediate environment. Usually these gremlins are found on a used palette, but nearly as often they spring from an unintentional mark of paint on a piece of paper or a suggestive shadow in my studio.

When Elric wants out, you let him out. Gloomy, majestic, Elric. The vertical is both soaring and constraining. That's the white wolf to a T. Fantastic.
Love seeing a new Elric.
