Hide your naughty little children, Krampus comes round tonight. Wishing everyone a very merry Krampusnacht! (painting from my 2012 novel "Krampus, The Yule Lord")

Trying to get back doing studies.
I guess figuring out to improve my brushwork? Reducing amount of strokes to get across the information and style I want.

Timelapse in comments :)

Everyone's sharing wraps. Here's what I've been buying directly from artists this year instead. Slowly building back what I used to have on Spotify.
Missing METAFIVE that I had to buy from iTunes store.
Some of them were free but decided to give at least 1€ (approx 2500 streams on Spotify) anyway.

Thank youu! Funny thing is this didn't really take any more time than any other painting in the end :D Probably around 60 hours.

A giant demonic human figure with red skin and horned skull for a head framed by a halo is in midst of stopping between a valley of volcanoes. A massive violet cape descends from the sky which is draped on his shoulders. A piece of the same fabric also is fluttering in the wind on his hips and drags on to the distance. A group of demons bow and cheer before the Demon Saint in the foreground.

My new painting "Demon saint of the 66 legions of King Baal".

This was tough one to paint but fun! Feel like I'm kind of finding my "style", Romanticism but not, haha. Learning to use more painterly brushes and Rebelle for final touches.

Owlbear. One of the personal projects I've been working on this year. Started as a 3d sculpt in Zbrush, then 3d printed with photopolymer clay and now I'm in the process of painting a couple!

I designed and sculpted these little animals back in 2015. Molded and cast a bunch of them and sold them at conventions and online. Sadly, the only ones I have right now are the monkeys painted to look like brass.

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

β€œStasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 πŸ–€

Large scene : an ominous festival took over a whole town, and people are dancing in the streets, led by weird medieval characters.

Studied photography, failed to have a career in it, studied film and was hired from interning in a vfx house as a compositor. Got laid off few months ago after 4 years full-time (6 years freelance before that) in the same company.
Now trying to pivot to have a career in art.
