As the warm weather finally comes to a close, I can't help but think of spending time on the coast in summer. It all goes too fast.

#art #digitalart #lighthouse #coast #sunset

A piece of digital art by VerusAstrum depicting a coast at sunset. A few rocks dot the water, and a small landmass is seen in the distance with a lighthouse. Beams of light pour out across the canvas from the sun.

The ligher parts of the piece use warm tones, mostly red, with the shadows being primarily deep blue and purple.

Such an amazing gift, and completely by surprise.

I'll cherish not only the piece, but the memories that inspired it.

Here's an extended version of my last piece since a friend wanted to make it their phone background. There's some minor differences too, so I'll leave up the original.

#art #digitalart #clouds #lost

Orange clouds cover a dark blue sky, with a scattered transparent walkway running through them. Beams of light shine downward from the top left corner of the piece around the walkway. The perspective of the piece is from at cloud height looking toward the horizon created by the walkway.

The piece has a watermark for VerusAstrum.

A small revenge piece for Artfight that I worked on today.

Sunset Rising!

#art #artfight #sunset #dragon

A dragon flies high into the sky amid a purple sunset, leaving a spiraling trail that goes above a forest of pine trees and into the clouds. The dragon serves as the vanishing point of the piece, with a fisheye view.

The piece has a watermark for VerusAstrum.

I recently took part in the little Undertale thing that Toby's doing, and had a ton of fun drawing my kobold in the Undertale style. I wanted to go a little further with the idea and practiced some expressions today!

#art #pixelart #Undertale #kobold

Black and white pixel art depicting 15 portraits of a fluffy kobold, showing various emotions in the style of Undertale.

The piece has a watermark for VerusAstrum in the bottom left.

Appreciated is an understatement. I absolutely adore this, and am so thankful to you.

Some more old pixel art I made as Twitch badges. I quite liked these ones, but they were short lived because we wanted to transition to a set which made it easier to tell which month / year of sub badge someone had at a glance.

The diamond arrows were never used.

#art #pixelart #maplestory

Pixel art titled "Arrows of Maplestory" done by VerusAstrum in 2023.

14 sets of blue quivers are featured, growing in ornateness and alternating between bronze, silver, and gold embellishments. Also featured are three ornate arrowtips, and a set of three singular arrows with large diamonds for tips.

Salty air rushes
across the coast, bringing life
to vivid flowers

(old work)

#art #digitalart #beach #coast #lighthouse #landscape

A piece of digital art by VerusAstrum. The piece depicts a coastline from a perspective low to the ground, below a mix of wild grass and flowers. Rocks dot the water, and two lighthouses are presented - one near the foreground, and one on a distant island that's reduced to a silhouette.

The piece is largely done in vibrant flat colours, with exceptions for the sky, water, and distant island, which use soft gradients.

Gentle waves rise high
The sun sings its final song
A duet in motion

#art #digitalart #beach #sunset #landscape #lost

A piece of digital art by VerusAstrum. The piece depicts a beach during sunset, with the horizon line slanted downward to the right. A transparent figure sits on the sand in the foreground, and gentle waves can be seen just barely reaching them.

The colour palette is warm, mostly using orange tones for the sand and sky, with a soft fade to purple for the deepest water.

Will you listen to my song? You remember, right?

#art #mountains #landscape #maplestory

A piece of digital art by VerusAstrum. It depicts a snowy mountain range during the twilight in a mix of both warm and cold hues. A river runs through the basin of the mountain range, and a cliff edge lies in the foreground. A small cairn sits on the cliff.

Old work.

I made the version that's just the scene first, but later realized that the piece reminded me of a character from someone I know. I scrambled through quickly adding them in to send as a gift at that point.

Character art is a struggle.

#art #digitalart #lost #amara

Digital art by VerusAstrum. The piece uses solid shades of yellow, orange, red, and blue to depict a vague scene that's open to interpretation. Structures loom towards a central vanishing point from both sides of the piece, and a red circle is seen at that point. A heavy distortion and chromatic aberration is used on everything in the piece.

"Get your head out of the clouds"

Another old piece. I was experimenting with a lot when I made this, and I learned some useful tricks in the process.

#art #clouds #lost

A piece of digital art by VerusAstrum. The piece depicts sunlight beaming down on a set of four transparent white structures that fade into a wave of clouds. It's unclear exactly what the structures are. The piece uses vibrant warm tones for the light, and deep purples for the shadows. Parts of the image are displaced around the edges.

Thank you for the kind words! I think the fish might just be my favourite too. haha

More old work.

I long to see the aurora myself one day.

#art #aurora #mountains #landscape

Digital art of a snowy mountain range in front of a motionless and highly reflective lake at night. An aurora hangs in the sky above the mountains, and an empty dock sits in the foreground. The piece uses entirely blue tones, and was created by VerusAstrum.

A set of Twitch badges I made for someone back in 2019. They never got used, which was unfortunate. If I were to start streaming again I suppose I could use them myself so they don't go to waste.
