Benthicben@benthicben· 22d Maybe the background is done-ish on this WIP?
The mountain pagodas are in! Now for the foreground plants.
Finishing the background early feels like eating veggies before dessert but it might help the lighting when I get to the character.
Commission in progress for Arty

Benthicben@benthicben· 26d More progress on Arty's commission! FINALLY did some line art but there will be more for the rocks and (shudder) armor! I'm considering coloring the line art but it depends on how the rendering goes?
How is the line art so far?

Benthicben@benthicben· 29d More progress on Arty's commission! Thanks for the suggestions with the anatomy and pose, gonna commit to this unless there's something weird going on with the pecs and deltoids?
background based on photos of Huangshan mountains. Still gotta render so many trees on that...

Benthicben@benthicben· Jul 11 Commission in progress for Arty! How is the anatomy and composition on this WIP?
I intend to portray a bamboo backpack and gear/armor behind him.
The lighting is intended to be clarified later on as a purplish sunset.

Benthicben@benthicben· Jul 7 character sheet WIP
I'm not sure if taking the time to model her head out in Blender for perfect antler symmetry counts as procrastination at this point???
Both eastern and western dragon features in her design

Benthicben@benthicben· Jun 16 Flashbanged some friends in Gartic Phone lol

Benthicben@benthicben· Jun 11 How big are Mina and Hornet anyway?
Mina the Hollower accidentally digs up Hallownest's Princess.
Scaling speculation in both size and combat abilities are very welcome! Who is having a boss fight and who is just getting annoyed?

Benthicben@benthicben· May 7 Ah'lina palace baths, lioncloth edition
Couldn't resist the pun.
Thanks again to @ahlina.bsky.social for the full illustration commission!

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 30 Ah'lina Palace Baths
So is having oil lamps floating IN the bath a fire hazard?
Might be worth the risk for the vibes!
Thanks to @ahlina.bsky.social for the commissioning this full painting! This was very fun and I got to try some new things with brushstrokes and composition!

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 7 Ah! fixed the elbow to clip behind the architecture

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 7 WIP 2 on Ah'lina's commission
Progress on the line art!
How's the thigh foreshortening to your eye? I might need to fix a few things there....

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 2 Palace Baths, in progress for @ahlina.bsky.social :D
I made this composition planning mockup for art in progress! How's the anatomy? Did I miss anything? I'm particularly concerned about the upper torso muscles...

Benthicben@benthicben· Mar 24 I was inspired by the new Spinosaurus Mirabilis species reveal, which comes with the ASTONISHING unicorn horn crest! He came out looking a bit like a flashy dickhead but I guess that fits.
Yup, that's a gummy ochnopristis

Benthicben@benthicben· Mar 10 Spinosaurus Mirabilis WIP
Designing a character based on the new spino reveal with the unicorn horn! Mirabilis apparently means "Astonishing"
Trying out some colors for the WIP

Benthicben@benthicben· Jan 20 Commission for Nico Di Löwe, his character Yvrelle
She is a royal even among the dragons, being a daughter of the most powerful dragon to live. Martial arts are her forte and her powerful body makes them lethal.

Benthicben@benthicben· Dec 11 By the way the wing finger in B is intended to go like this, which is potentially confusing

Benthicben@benthicben· Dec 11 Which wing looks better?
Commission in progress!
Wing A is for clarity to show the left wing to the camera, whereas Wing B is intended to have the left wing reaching away to the background and showing less of the structure clearly.
Which might you prefer?

Benthicben@benthicben· May 7 *Furry Art Arc* is delayed until June!
At least it's because something GOOD happened, no need to worry.
I guess I can do reposts or uh filler episodes or something
Here's that Howling Ace for now, and see you later

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 23 Kaii the marble fox, commission
Commission for Nico Di Löwe, for a Vulpine Imperium character!
Kaii was born into small nobility, but despite his smile, he's seen many tragedies and hardships. I intended it to show in his eyes...
thanks again to bsky.app/profile/nico... !

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 19 *grumbling, flipping, zooming and unzooming

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 19 Comm WIP for a Vulpine Imperium RPG chara! The characters in this world seem to be smaller than the usual build I draw (fighting game style dragon people).
My main worry is making the arms too big or long in this style. How are the arm lengths and hand sizes to your eyes?
#art #furryart #furry

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 16 Ah'lina commission, 2 versions!
Thanks to Ah'lina for ideas with the final touches! ahlina.carrd.co
Here are 2 treatments with the line art
A: one thinner with a bg backdrop
and the other one with
B: no bg and thicker outline lines. Which looks better on your side?
#art #furryart #furry

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 15 Redesigning his redesign AGAIN again!
I wanted his tail to be thin enough for him to put his watch on it when he's doing food safety as a barista.
It was a MISTAKE to design his outfit before making final decisions on his anatomy. I Needed to change his pants, twice.

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 10 Thanks to everyone who suggested mixing both fluffy and scales in her design! How is this mix of scales and fluff in different areas?
Meet Miel in all her dangerous majesty. I'm still pondering if I will use the digitigrade feet with the raptor claws.

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 5 Art commission for Ah'lina the Lioness!
What final touches can be added before wrap up and delivery? Did I miss anything?
#art #furryart #furry

Benthicben@benthicben· Apr 1 Commission in progress for Ah'lina the Lioness
How is the anatomy? I'm aiming for dynamic, expressive and with some exaggeration but I don't want it to look unnatural.
I'm mostly concerned about her shoulders in relation to the rest of the torso. I posed the reference in magic poser online.
