Growlithe-Shishi
One of the characters I did for 'La Mitologia negli Anime e Manga' by Mila Fois. The book is about the relationship that manga/anime entertain with mythology. Growlithe was inspired by a Guardian Lion of Chinese and Japanese mythology.

This is mostly a fanart of Jem and the Holograms, I changed just a few stuff to make it more appealing to me! But thank you!!

Lucy Westerna - Dracula, Bram Stocker
"How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams."

Shy Tribute to Ozzy 🖤
#illustration #ozzyosbourne #ozzy #ripozzy #tributetoozzy #metal #heavymetal #music

a scene in the animated lord of the rings movie. Gandalf the grey is standing in a lush green forest, wearing grey robes, and a blue pointy wizard's hat while wielding a staff. He's pointing up as if to think of something, and the image is captioned "It's never too late to start something over, including a new version of yourself."

Good morning✌️🍀

If it wasn't for you and Black Sabbath, probably we metalheads would've never existed. Thank you for giving us shelter 🖤

Pizzazz - The Misfits (Jem and the Holograms)
One of the craziest artwork I ever did.
I made a few changes in Pizzazz's outfit, I'm pretty happy about the overall energy and I would like to convey the same vibe to other artworks! Another baby step unlocked!

MerMay 02: A Close Encounter
"She was terrifying, but also so beautiful in her own nature... "
A different feeling in this new one! Will Humans and Merfolk meet again on the next artworks? And who is this man?

Primal
Working on this piece was a biiiig learning journey on so many levels I can't even tell. Also a bit of jungle-ish colours and environment are always welcome!

MerMay 2025 - 01
"Can you hear the songs of the Mermaids?
They're luring seamen again.
From the deep their voices are rising, waiting for men's will to bend. "
That time of the year again and how can I not paint my beloved terror-mermaids?
