Heretic Star Sketches Timelapse (Clip Studio)

Vengeful 1 . 2026, Clip Studio Paint & Cinema4D Artwork for the Litpins & Co collectors' edition of Vengeful, written by V.E. Schwab

Portrait of Sydney, a young woman with a blonde bob wearing a bomber jacket, super-imposed over a dramatic art deco cityscape arranged in a V shape.
In front of her is a raven, disentigrating into loose bones and feathers.
Below the portrait is Victor, screaming and unleashing supernatural powers as the ground cracks beneath him.
Weaving throughout the composition are glowing threads whirling through the various elements.

The full wrap artwork painted for author Dylan Sanchez's novel "The Secret Among The Stars" (sorry I put the wrong title in the first post). I updated the artwork recently to balance it better ( @captain-ventris.itch.io let me know if you want this hi res version )

Full wrap artwork showing a back and front cover. A cadre of warriors wearing space marine armor stand heroically on a rocky outrcopping splashed by waves of black water. In the distance are nebulae, stars, and a glowing orange eye surrounded by translucent tentacles. The left most warrior is a young black man with cropped hair in dreads, dual wielding three barrel pistols. Next to him is Bry, a light brown skinned woman with a short wavy pixie cut looking up at the stars and holding a futuristic pistol, wearing intricate bronze and blue armor. To her right is Bel, a stout and hulking alien woman with scaled green skin and braided golden hair pulled behind her in a ring. She holds a large sci-fi sword and shield and wears red, pointy armor. Behind Bel is a tall goddess-looking figure named Nef with gold skin and long blue crystal braids framing their face, wearing intricately etched gold and silver armor. The heroes are bathed in pink and blue light from the nebulae behind them.

Process write-up for The Crowned Man from Patreon

Illustration 12: The Crowned Man

THE BIG GUY!!!!!! The Crowned Man himself, and the first illustration I drew for Blight's Hollow/the image we used to drive interest for like, 3 months before I finally carved out some time do more. I love The Crowned Man, and am so happy with the haunting perfectly round owl eyes that have defined a lot of the vibe of Blight's Hollow, as I think they perfectly communicate the tone--the world is frightening, unknowable, indifferent and often horribly vicious, but it's nothing personal.

"The Crowned Man". 2023. Photoshop + Cinema4D. Artwork for "The Woods at Blight's Hollow" a folk horror TTRPG co-created by Corey Brickley and Sinister Beard Games

A large, imposing humanoid figure with bark-like skin and many-horned antlers looks down at and looms over a child in an old-world villager's dress and bonnet, who is carrying a wicker basket. They are framed by large dead trees warped in a circular shape around the two figures, in a very dark forest.
