Thank you so much, I really enjoyed making those. I felt like it was a side of the story that rarely got told.

But yeah it's true that confort zone need to be built, I guess it's about taking enough time and accepting that they need to be constructed.
Thanks !
I love painting creatures and but I wish I could get better at other subjects. I really want to do more sci-fi stuff but whenever I never finish thos kind of sketches. It's hard to exti a confort zone
Reposting some personal works I made during the last years.
I wish I could be more ambitious with my own work but I often end up doing very safe illustrations. I really like them but I wish I had the energy to try some new subjects

I love painting faces and was really looking forward to all the cool creatures of Lorwyn since the first one was before my time. But I guess someone has to paint a horrific creature with the absence of a face. π€·ββοΈ
I'll try to do that before going !

The sketches !
Chasmfiend are big, have a lot of legs and are quite low to the ground so finding the right pose was challenging. Figuring out how it could move and how to have it emote was an interesting task. I used the front legs to show weight and stability and make the composition flow.

Illustration made for the Cosmere Rpg.
I was reading the Stormlight archives a second time when I got the opportunity to make this so I was fully hype ! Bringing to life such a cool creature was a treat
I was also making this little guy, but it is still in the unfinished folder

Let the Helldivers devs and Game Grumps know I'm available in the late fall and after. For whatever :)
Thanks !
I'll try to share a few stuff when i have time. I'm planning to do a 3D animation that leans more into sci-fi like blame but I have no idea when I'll be able to work on it.
The card ! It's a cool and weird design, I love it. It feels very mtg

While I do not often draw sci-fi art I'm a big fan of the genre. So had a blast painting this illustration for mtg, the black hole was especially fun

Clouds loom high over a distant lighthouse. A small sailboat passes in the foreground, and above a massive woman towers in the clouds, flanked by two owls. The woman is surrounded with pale drapery that mimics the color and shape of the clouds. She looks down upon the lighthouse and boat.
gonna call this one done, I think π€
