a black and white charcoal portrait of a tiefling with a broken left horn, side cut hair over the right side of his face, stylized bar face tattoos, and jewelry.

grats on 14k!!

this is Domovyk, my darling chaotic-garbage tiefling void & shadow mixed-bloodline sorcerer. a former street rat who joined the BBEG for a way out, his (dnd) party came together to rebel and right past wrongs, learning to trust each other and reckon with their pasts.

i also remembered the timelapse function! flashing warning.

A lighter-skinned woman with long dark hair is pulling open her chest with a shocked expression. It's not gorey, though there are a few cracked ribs, but inside she sees another light-skinned woman, with shoulder length brown hair, reaching out in panic. She is bound by kelp and the background looks like deep swirling water.

I finally finished the other big WIP! it took forever, and I don't think this captures what the initial vibe was, but I think it's good in its own right. and I learned a ton!

An abandoned building by the beach where a window overlooks the sea. The water through the window resembles a painting, so someone has scrawled Free Rothko on the wall.

Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.

Various small doodles with a brush pen, including a skull, a weird flower, Alex Ward's face, a cat scribble, impressionistic mountain ridges

A hand reaches out of a pile of ash. Three of its fingers are bone. There is a bright California poppy growing out of the base of the palm. Thistle grows from the ashes. The poppy is in full color and the rest of the image desaturates as you look further away.

One of my big WIPs is done! Was very excited to work on this and I'm fairly happy with how it came out, for where I am!

A 3/4 view bust of a skeleton in front of a flame colored swirling background. It's wearing a blue veil/drapery with golden yellow trim, and a silver crown with thin upright rounded prongs. There is a greenish gray stone halo vertical behind its head.

powered this out on a plane. 2hr45m, which for me rn is probably a speed paint! it's not remotely how it looked when it popped into my head trying to sleep last night, but so it goes. still pretty happy with it, esp for time spent!

I haven't had much to post because I've been plugging away trying to figure out digital painting with two bigger pieces, but here's a study from last night!

Happy birthday!!

My first commission! Completed in March, the scope grew quite a bit from the original idea and it challenged me in a whole bunch of new ways.

A full body character image of a man with long, flame-like hair, standing with one arm in flourish with a one-armed capelet, as a bullfighter drawing back their cape. This capelet is shaped like a wing with splayed feathers, and is colored in red, orange, and gold. Behind his back is a saber wreathed in flames. His skin is marked with ember like freckles and shining glyphs.

The prior image has been cropped to show more detail of the man's face; including long elf like ears, a censor amulet hanging over his chest, and the gnarled golden gauntlet on his right hand.

I know I do myself no favors posting at 4am, but I'm considering opening one or two slots for commissions soon and decided I needed a good holotype specimen for what I'd offer. Why not my DND character?

I'm having trouble believing how much better these sketches look in some frames from Michael's. Imposter syndrome doesn't know how to deal with impressions of legitimacy!
