Character design of a winged moth man carrying a sword and shield.

Here's another Character Design Challenge I did, with the theme "Insect Warrior". The fierce moth warrior Prince Ermine uses a shield to make up for his fragile body, as well as potions that dissolve webs when fighting spiders. Lots of fun with this one!

Thank you! ☺️

Oh, that's wonderfully dark and creepy! Great job!

Thank you! There is something haunting about that indeed, like post-apocalyptic worlds that tell a story of what used to be.

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you! I just started using Bluesky, so I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate the site 😄

Beautiful work! I love how clean and intricate the pencil lines are.

I just watched Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro, and it's an absolute masterpiece. A wonderful blend of beauty and horror at its finest, and surprisingly touching. Go watch it on Netflix now!

I made this painting for the #CDChallenge when the theme was Middle-Earth (I simply couldn't resist it!). This is the Vala Oromë and his horse Nahar, hunting evil in the woods.

Thank you so much! 😊

Different stages of the vampire Lestat, going from starved zombie to fully revitalized by blood.

I read the Interview with the Vampire books a few years ago and got inspired by how zombie-like they appear to get when starving or near-dead, as opposed to hauntingly beautiful after feeding enough. So here are some different stages of hunger, featuring Lestat!

Here are the three covers I painted for D&D's 50th anniversary core books. I'll post the back pieces separately. It was a real honor to come back and design some of these again after a decade. #dungeonsanddragons

Haha, they are desperately hoping their stealth check is good enough 😄

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!

I’m a freelance concept artist and illustrator from Norway who loves creating characters, creatures and stories that belong to a different world.

Books, movies and D&D are my main sources of inspiration✨

Haha, yes, it is indeed just fan art 😄Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Oh, this one hit me right in the feels! One of my absolute favourite book series, and this is such a lovely painting you made of them ❤️

illustration by Abigail Larson inspired by Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein". The scene depicts Frankenstein's monster carrying Elizabeth Lavenza.

Take me with you 🫀

man the chokehold this movie has on me #frankenstein

Dragons are my favourite subject to draw and paint. If I have a blank page in front of me, it's very likely that a dragon will appear!

Another painting I did a couple of years ago. I've always loved warrior women with proper armor!

I should probably start posting some of my artwork here on Bluesky, starting off with some fan art I just made for
"The Legend of Drizzt" book series by the amazing R. A. Salvatore. A challenging and very fun illustration to make!

Photoshop, 2025.
