A pencil sketch of a party of adventurers lost in an impossible Escheresque dungeon maze. The maze itself is a rather simple design of a brick crossroad with a set of four pillars in the middle, but it's duplicated six times and oriented in the shape of a cube, creating the illusion of fractal complexity. The three adventurers are lost, each one walking on a different path inside. A skeleton of an unfortunate soul lies out of sight on the left. Text at the bottom reads "Twitch.Tv/Stevesketches"

"Guys, I think we might have taken a wrong turn.... Guys??"

Graphite drawing of goblins playing poker. There are six goblins of various sizes sitting around a dirty poker table. They're all cheating. Another goblin lurks under the table, sweeping up all the cards that have been dropped with a push broom.

Look, I'm a boobs guy, not a butts guy. When it comes to pinup work I definitely favor characters and compositions that have a top heavy focus. So imagine my surprise when I polled my community and found the majority more booty inclined. A long time viewer and frequent client asked me to do a new pinup, proclaiming "I will be the change I want to see in the world!" When I asked if there were any characters that founded his taste in cake, he said "Chun Li. Who else?" So here's a pinup of Chun Li's booty... and more besides cuz I had to make it fun for me too. Anyway, gonna go draw more, find me at https://twitch.tv/SteveSketches

Chun Li
Graphite on 11"x17" Bristol Board

Graphite drawing of a girl encountering a magic portal within the enchanted woods. The girl stands on a boulder on the left, looking up at the ring of stones that shine with the light of another world. Boulders overgrown with gnarled roots hold the scene aloft, a square frame provides space for a simple background to emphasize the light.

Graphite sketch of a Nixie pirate with her magical pet axolotl. Her hair blows in the wind, her ears are fins, and she's tugging at the knot on her shirt as if to untie it. The axolotl blushes and hurriedly attempts to prevent anything naughty from happening. Text: Twitch.Tv/SteveSketches

OMG wat an adorable thug of a pug! The CHIN. Saving this for my next pug drawing.

A fat, pug faced imp of hell with a scorpion tail and itty bitty bat wings. He has a pair of oversized horns tied to his head in an effort to look more impressive. It's not working.

An Imp desperately trying to convince his infernal co-workers that he's important.

Brain monsters with crab claws, these are fan concepts for a video game called The Holdouts. Drawing during an online event with Paul Richards describing his own creature design process for the game.

A follow up doodle where I try to parse some things Paul Richards said recently. Some artists lean into curves, others think in more angular terms. I've been exploring curve-counter-curve, and noticed that it acts as a sort of marriage between the SIN vs SAW conflict that Paul pointed out.

Accidentally touched digital again to revisit some concept art principles I've been trying to understand.

Thank you to everyone who tuned into our discord-exclusive co-working stream with our Principal Concept Artist, @paulrichards.bsky.social

Also, shoutout to @stevesketches.bsky.social for drawing along to Paul's talks! Here's what he created while watching.

I feel like every stream I do nowadays has one OBS crash. Thankfully the crash today happened right at the start of the stream, which is the best time for a bad thing to happen. We're still live, just had a small hiccup, lets hope it's the last one!
