Witchy crows 🐦‍⬛

in morning lounge wear and drinking tea, Zagel contemplates the similarities of wall scuttling activities that poodle sized beetles and multi legged spindle wolves delight in doing, as Bernard (poodle sized beetle) scuttles playfully across the apartment walls.

Zagel carefully puts on Bernard's harness and clips the lead to it, while the poodle sized beetle excitedly yet politely wiggles all of it's appendages. WALKIES surrounded with many hearts is written in the background to make up for the fact this was doodled at like 3 am and was unsure how visually clear the harness was

Zagel, in longue wear sits curled up on the vague notion of a couch with legs crossed and tail wrapped around. Bernard is flopped in his lap, no thoughts head empty full of bliss, as Zagel drumroll taps his fingers across the poodle sized beetle's shell while reading some letters.

Zagel, standing, has hefted an entire poodle sized beetle into his arms, which was the only acceptable reaction to Bernard being so excited to visit his beetle-sitter. One of Bernard's leggies is caught up in and messing up Zagel's hair, but Zagel is still happy to affectionately hold the beetle he wasn't expecting to make friends with.

i was asked to cross post my bernard doodles from my Fallen London tumblr to here for all the beetle lovers, and how could i refuse. i'd do anything for bernard. #fallenlondon #ESspoilers

Contrary to what you might think, we've actually 𝑛𝑜𝑡 been sleeping and / or dead since launching Dread Delusion...

You got this!
I have no freaking idea how, but you got this xD

First panel of a blue-hued comic where the Grim Reaper / Death, hodling a scythe, with a crow on their shoulder, is looking for a deceased soul under the moniker of the Hound knight.

The Hound Knight calls to the Grim Reaper and their crow companion from off-screen.

A cute white dog in armor with two arrows sticking out of his body says he is the Hound Knight. He speaks using Japanese Kaomojis (such as this (￣ω￣) ) to punctuate his sentences.

Hound Knight asks if the Grim Reaper is looking for him.

Grim Reaper [ 1 ]
Part 1 or 2.

I left little critiques on lots of game trailers so here's a thread with the most common issues (and additional reading) 🧵

1. Don't put logos at the start. It's just dead air that could be gameplay, which is 100000000X more interesting.

Four additional WIP thingies:
1. A trace/colourpicked study first, to get a feel for the piece (probably why I stuck so close to it xD)
2. Thumbnails I did for alternative compositions, even if I didn't end up going for them^^
3. WIP of the final piece
4. Notes I took before the study on a print.

Witch on a broom with a cettle in front of an evening sky. Cat and witch look directly at the viewer with piercing yellow eyes. Birds are flying around them and towards the viewer.

Challenge entry for #Mads8kDTIYS !
Even half hour left before deadline ends. (hopefully 😅)
Very happy how it turned out, and learned a bunch.
Maaabye stuck a bit to close to the original, but hey.
Had a blast with this one regardless^^

There's a direct line from "no kink at Pride" and "no sex in movies and books unless it Serves The Plot" to payment processors feeling completely empowered to censor art globally

On this day eight years ago, we launched our third game, Pyre. We went on to make Hades, which is different in many ways, yet builds on shared ideas and themes that still inspire us.

To all those who led the Nightwings to the end of their journey, thank you! Noxalas!!💫

Lost in endless dreams of hunting seven headed birds in preparation of a honey scented prey in the far far future.
Only disrupted by running eclectic errants in service of a multi voiced furnance on a weekly basis.

I love art. I love this craft of visual romanticization. Seeing how people interpret the world around them with their feelings and thoughts poetically laid bare in line and color. Art can ignite the imagination and passion in others and it’s all done by moving a stick around with intent and emotion.

*taps the sign*

Tiny, colorful baby scallops — a total cuteness overload in one dish!

You might think, “This person posts the same creature every year!” But honestly, seeing the same life return year after year is something truly wonderful𓂃🫧‪

Sketchy digital drawing of an Acorn Woodpeckers upper body.

Loving the close-in shots, so fluffy and adorable!
Had to some quick study/sketches of em^^

Thank you so much for sharing your workflow! 💪🎉
I've been enamoured with your style for a good long while now, very happy about the insights into how the sausage is made!

I'm really hoping that one day I'll be able to continue with this! I had so much fun with it.

Ahh how did I miss the shot of the bee creature getting pats in the trailer!! Heck yeah^^
Also, not sure if it's just me, but clicking the link only leads me to the steam store main page 😬
Clicking the picture below worked fine though :D

Photo of a sketchbook page showing a Fineliner & watercolour drawing/painting. It depicts a bearded man on one knee, inspecting a glowing correspondance sigil on the floor in front of him. The smoky image of a tiger with a cigar hovers over him, his hat adorned with alchemical vials is exeptionally alive, a pin in the form of a golden apple adorns his grey labcoat and he wear strange strange green gloves. there is also a ghostly candle, a bloody bone harpoon and a sedan chair cluttering the background.

Realised I've never created Fallen London Fanart, despite how much I love it.
Very unbothered about doing it "correct/clean" with this one. Just went and had fun and tried to get as much as possible from my characters Watchful "outfit" into the picture :D

Artistic rendition of a moment in Elden Ring, with a large Dragon facing of against a very ambitious, albeit far smaller, crawling hand. The location is full of ragged rocky cliffs. Colours are mostly keept in greens and reds. A Character called Slaybell is in the forground and another called Lady Jingle further into the picture.

Study/Fanart of a fun moment from EP 34 of the Playframe Elden Ring Randomizer Co-op run :D
Little crawly hand is gonna get that dragon, just you wait!

Digital Drawing of a hand raised to reveal it's back, with a small green snail clinging to it. A somewhat blurry background shows green grassy patches leading towards a river in the background.

Loved the lil snail on a post from @squiiji.bsky.social on their discord, so I did a study of the pic.
Been watching the streams for a while now. Great fun, lovely cozy vibes and so many small and big art learnings to be had^^

Not sure if it applies, but still tagging it as #ijistrations :D

Digital Painting of Storyteller & Visual Artist Morvern Graham standing with one arm outstreched and the other in front of her body holding a handful of long wild grasses. Her outstreched arm unfolds a colorful blue and red patterned cape, the background is smudged greens.

Sketchy black and white lineart studies and a trace of Morvern Graham in the same pose as the first picture. There is no background and three version in varying levels of detail and size of the same pose are arranged on the page.

A picture by morvern.studios and the accompagniying self-reflective Pride post on Insta stuck with me for a good while. Did a few studies of it as a result.

Menagerie of Unbearable Things, a system neutral, art/story heavy tragic bestiary, is launching later this month on Kickstarter. I'm working day and night on it and I really like where it is going!

Photo of a Black Fineliner drawing. It depicts a smiling woman looking at the viewer as she shimmies through a high, dark and narrow cavern. Water has filled the cavern up to her shoulder.
