Digital art of a colored sketch featuring two OCs Lunete (who belongs to helsdemon) and Obneus, riding a black horse. Lunete is a teal colored phantom and Obneus a human with tied up long black hair.

Obneus and Lunete spend a looot of time traveling ~ I needed to draw them so casual 😭❀️

These are supposed to be made of crystal/glass, I always struggle a bit with the material. One day I just need to sit down and do a study so the texture looks just right. For now I'm doing it the quick way, not the best way 🫣

This is a portrait of an imperial magister, a bugbear called Oribasius
He's painted for my private DnD setting, Io

Rawr 2: Revenge of the Rawr

New monster I got to paint! This one is named the Scourge and it is basically a mutated water siren thingie. I love it already

I've just started the rendering and I'm still figuring out some the shapes and tones

Quick (censored) warmup sketch, with some anatomy practice on my firbolg Lumin. I got absolutely defeated by that leg. Why did I decide to paint it in such a difficult shortcut? I dunno, apparently I have no mercy for myself :V
No thoughts, head empty

Ahhh πŸ₯Ή I even tried recording, but I have troubles setting OBS, and PS doesn't have that option :'> So I just make screens. In the age of generative content I prefer to always keep proof that I'm human

Also my progress is a complete chaos, half of the time I have no idea what I'm doing πŸ˜†

They are living in my brain right now, fortunately only as creepy ideas :P

Just don't look at the hand holding sword, don't look at it, this hand does not exist, there is no hand, what hand

Thank you! I just need to fix the sword as the hand holding it, I did something very weird with it :') But I'm on my way to finish it asap

I don't know his backstory, so it's hard to tell, but I totally agree! He also strikes me as a creature that the anti-hero turns into while raging. Sort of a demonic possession maybe?

I planned doing them in a totally different way :'> but I couldn't stop myself from doing a rainbow

Dark Soulsy buddy is halfway done! Sorry for spamming him step by step, but I'm super excited about this character design and about this render
I want my weekend so I can finish him, aaaaa

Sketch, this time with colors. I got a green light to color this dark souls like buddy, so I'm doing it right now. Oh, I'm going to be a lot of fun with his textures, there are so many cool things happening here. Also cape! Because capes are cool :3

I apologized and fixed it, and I check the hands twice ever since πŸ˜† This was a few years ago, before genai was even a thing. I didnt need machines to royally screw up the fingers

I almost forgot to add the golden elements, as I overpainted them when rendering the ribcage :'') good thing I always check the first sketch before I have sent it to the client, it would be as embarrassing as the time I have painted two left hands on a commission 😐

Demon Lord time! This design was provided by a private client, and I recreated it in my style. I LOVE drawing weird scary things. Always feel free to write if you want me to draw something like this. Monsters are 200% my comfort zone!

A goblin portrait I painted for Big Empty Blue/Quill's Tiny Quest
It seems that this winter is a goblin winter, judging by the number of goblins I get to paint ^_^

Just as a fun fact, that gesture can stop a lizard running straight at you. I'm specifically speaking about my lizard. It works for some reason :V

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed doing that character design πŸ’™ it was one of the more challenging from last year's batch, but it was fun nontheless

I mostly use square brushes with irregular edges πŸ’™ they are amazing both with blocking and rendering :3

Thank you so much! I prepared two different compositions for the client but I really counted on this one πŸ’™ it was my more favourite

A first sketch exploration for a private client. This is a version before any feedback and reviews, so it may change a lot. But I'm still pretty excited about this one, so I thought I could share <3
