Kharseth is up for pre-order individually this weekend, so I thought I might as well keep posting updates! They're such a cool model. This might end up as another potential GD entry šŸ˜…

A lunar eclipse rises behind the ruins of a collapsed house. A mysterious figure stands in the ashes. Bats flying in the air. The foreground is draped in mist

Feels such a luxury to get to paint so many character portraits for a project. This was a vampire metroidvania indie game that I helped build a demo level for, Thirst šŸ¦‡

Painting of a birch sapling with a background of loose brushstrokes. The leaves are brightly lit with cool direct light, with some being backlit showing a vibrant green.

Leaf study, 9x12" oil painting of a birch sapling. I love the range of colors in a simple leaf.

I painted the first version of this for myself, and then was commissioned to expand it for a limited edition mousepad

'Entrancing Performance' made the cut for Infected by Art Vol.14!
This was the very last digital painting I did before moving entirely to traditional media.

ink painting of a bloated corrupted knight hefting a giant axe over one shoulder. One arm and hand is impossibly large and clenched in a fist. the armour is corroded and tarnished. Antlers burst from the skull and helmet.
