And as always, here are sketches & exploration concepts. The concept phase here was very long, as the client wanted to explore several ideas for the piece

This is an illustration of a mindflayer dragon + dragonborn I painted for an anonymous client for their ongoing campaign, inspired by Baldur's Gate 3 #bg3 #dnd #illustration #art #dndart

And traditionally, here are some sketches and closeups

I previously designed a Banshee, but I had problems with it (problems including the pic being in 72 dpi RGB because holy heck I am NOT smart). The new one is 100% printing-prepared. I will also refresh the old design, but I wanted to draw a new one, to free myself from the constrains of old concept

Here's a new bug elf for you! Well. Old-New. This is a Banshee, a Mantis Elf. This one is in calm form, veil on, not currently mourning, just walking. Mourning Banshees are incredibly dangerous (I will paint it soon) This design was painted for my D&D setting called Gaol #sketch #fantasy #dnd #art

New Banshee design. Because I just felt the old ones, based on Mantis insects, were not exactly what I had in mind Hope the idea is more clear now #sketch

And here's some sketch explorations I did in the beginning of the comm

This is a mantis fairy I sketched for a private client. This one was a bit of a challenge, but I hope in the end it works <3 I love it when people come to me with their own bug characters #sketch #art #sketchbook

And here are some closeups (this is still not 100% size of the piece). 300 DPI CMYK so long is enormous and I wanted to make sure it is best quality in print, so I painted on 2x zoom

Here are images showing how it was concepted and painted

There is no good way to post it (art too long) This is DM Screen I painted for Adventure Calls Entertainment (ACE) company. This illustration is ~110cm long and I spent months painting it. I got tasked with painting a group of bug adventurers #illustration #ttrpg #dnd

Hah ^_^ With these two I've been sitting down and sketching their designs for a long time before I sat down to painting The brief was quite detailed and I wanted to make sure I'm getting everything right. We also had several tries with the concepts, to make sure I get the client's vision correctly

I'm in progress of rendering a double dragon piece for a client. Work going slower (I got a bit sick) but I'm slowly crawling back to my normal speed. Today I've done the mountains in the background and the jaws #wipart

And traditionally, here is the closeup of the render and the sketch work

This is an illustration n of an ancient deity conceptualised and painted for a private client. This was a partial character design work, as I received a pre-owned design. They are pretty different from each other, but I thought it's good to know #art #fantasy #horror #illustration #characterdesign

This is my D&D team I'll be DMing for (part 2, the positively crazy half of the team). We'll be playing 5e (with some modifications) on a custom setting called Gaol. The group will help me to playtest the custom species, mechanics and subclasses :3 #dnd #ttrpg

And as always, here are some extra slides with closeups & other stuff.

Here's the second Weeshee I drew. They are elves based on glowworms :3 This one is definitely creepier but it also shows the anatomy better. It's part of a series of my bug elves, which portray playable species for my D&D 5e setting. #dnd #sketch #art #characterdesign

Here's a sketch for a commission in progress! I was tasked with designing this eldritch creature based on provided horse (?) creature reffs! This is not full character deign, more like, re-design. I can't wait to render all those organic textures <3 #sketch #wipart

And here are theh closeups showing each of them! Sylas, Firgalioin (unicorn firbolg) Druid Ignis, Seeva (half-elf fetch) Cleric Percy, the Hobgoblin Bard Nori, Brunaidh (mouse gnome) Rogue

This is my D&D team I'll be DMing for (part 1). We'll be playing 5e (with some modifications) on a custom setting called Gaol. The group will help me to playtest the custom species, mechanics and subclasses #dnd #ttrpg #5e

Here are some closeups and a sketch I made :3

Here's the new bug elf, finished! This is a Weeshee, the glowworm elf. This species are trickster spirits, whose sense of humour may be anything from pretty harmless to straight up malicious #conceptart #sketch #dnd #art #fantasy

And here are the sketches and character explorations I did! The client picked the top left sketch but asked me to introduce different colours to the design

Here's a halfbody art of a Siren/Water Nymph named Rhea I painted as a commission. This was not a character design, more like a light re-design of a pre-existing concept

Glowworm Elf part 2 I added colours yesterday and it looks even more scary/grimm. I wanted to do a prankster/light themed seelie fey but ended with this. I still want to render them. I'll just need to change mechanics a bit to match the look I design the glowworms for my D&D book #dnd #sketch #art

I got some extra free-work time in between commissions so I started working on the next Bug Elf for the book. This is an elf based on a glowworm. I wanted to make them cute and whimsical, but I started getting ideas midway shape study and I ended up with a haunted skeleton :V #sketch

And for those curious, here is how the dragon was made step by step, from early sketch to final postproduction

Hi hi! I remember a few of you really enjoyed this dragon, so here's the finished version! I was tasked with doing a creature design of a dragon with two heads but one head at the same time. This is what I came up with :3 #digitalart #dragon #art

Magister Profesor Eberhardt Orza One of my characters I especially love. Quick warmup before serious work #sketch
