Dig Site #1 (Digital, ClipStudioPaint 7/14/2026) Based on the actual Antarctic worm (eulagisca gigantea). Luckily the real animal is much smaller and less likely to burrow into your science experiment :)

Digital painting depicting a large worm with a purple head, large beak, and white underbelly. Many protrusions poke from it's sides with gold-like appendages spreading from each.

Asterion (Traditional | Casein on Canvas) Did a draft of this piece digitally forever ago, but I have slowly been working on a traditional, more fleshed out piece for it. My heart still bleeds for the abandoned son of Poseidon. That divine, but sacrificial lamb of Crete.

A minotaur with two heads bleeds against a rock at the center of congregating lakes. The sky is red as Crete celebrates.

There's a barred owl that has been hanging out and hunting near our apartment complex lately. Luckily my walks have been perfectly timed with a lot of their outings

Forgot to start recording the timelapse again... but at least I remembered before working on the coral reef. Originally, I had a dolphin-esc eye on the boy, but I ended up changing it to a washed out, pale eye more at home on a deepsea fish. Ignore the blinking reference images :)

Happy #mermay and all that. Had a lot of fun working on some of the underwater scenery in this one. Something about the high saturation colors makes a lot more sense in my head, I generally find it easier to get down on the page.

WIP

A digital painting depicting an aging gentlemen dressed for cold weather in a red sweater and green knit cap. He watches a squirrel in the parking lot of an snowy apartment complex under a bright street lamp. The scene is quiet, as the light catches on the frost covered branches, but the lingering image of a ghost haunts the image.

Remembered about half-way through that I wanted to experiment with exporting the time-lapse for some digital paintings this year. Think it's a fun way to quickly break down the general process. Main pieces missing from the below are the pencil sketch and bw character shading, etc.

A Chance Meeting (CSP, 2026) Making new monsters and putting ourselves out there

A digital painting depicting a middle-aged man and a monster standing on a street corner. The middle aged man is pale, with short black hair and a goatee, wearing a light blue, collared shirt and khaki shorts. The monster is a massive, fleshy creature with a thin, humanoid body - it's head is made up of two cyclops faces, melded at the edges, with wailing male heads for tongues. Behind them is a street sign, and a convenience store.

Starting the final act of my D&D campaign. PC's had a heart to heart with the Raven Queen last night and I've been thinking about it since.
