Thanks for hosting, and congrats on 1k! 💚

I make fantasy & sci-fi illustration, all digital. Lots of it involves dragons, and most of it is creature concept art. 🐉

Creature Concept: Northern Dragon

A white dragon sits up on a snowy tundra plain. Black rocks litter the ground, and grey clouds cover the skies, which are grey with blizzard clouds. Beneath the dragon's front claw is a human skull.

The dragon has folded pterodactyl-like wings with hairy claws for fingers. Its back legs are also fluffy, and look much like the talons of a snowy owl. 3 horns grow from the dragon's head; 2 short ones from the back, and 1 longer, forked one from the center. The tail ends in a triangular barb made from the same material as the horns, and sensory bristles stick out from the length of the tail like whiskers. Similar whiskers, only shorter, are found on the cheeks and the tips of the ears.

Creature Concept: Southern Quilled Seraph (fictional avianoid)

Digitally drawn concept art of a bird-like monster design. The creature faces right on a dark plane. It is sitting with its wings partially folded, but still somewhat slack. Its long tail twists upwards behind it.

Its beak and two-toed feet are yellow in color, and its eyes are bright green. Most of the feathers on its body are a warm grey shade, with a broad red stripe down its back and tail. Additionally, there is a large patch of red in the center of itis chest. Its wing feathers, as well as some scattered feathers across its body, are a shiny iridescent black. It has a bright red wattle on the underside of its head, which is patterned with black markings.

Porcupine-like quills sprout from beneath the feathers on the monster's back, as well as the backs of its wings. Along its twisted tail there are 3 more (shorter) wing-like appendages. The head has two pairs of eyes; one is large, and located on the side of the head, and the other is small, and faces forwards from a hole on the from side of the beak.

The beak is toothed, like a goose's beak, as is the animal's tongue. The beak also has a large Smilodon-like fang growth on each side. On the bottom half of the beak, a patterned crest sprouts and curves backwards between the fangs. Above the front pair of eyes on the beak, there are hornbill-like growths that shade the eyes.

Creature Concept: Baldhart the Black Flame (fire dragon)

A black dragon with a dull red head, neck, and chest faces left. It stands on a bluish mirror-like surface that is lit up with streaks of blue light.

Its wings are a purplish tag color, and huge compared with the rest of its body. Its tail is also elongate, and is patterned with rows of spiky barbs that can also be found on its neck.

3 pairs of horns grow from its head, two on the top, and one that curves around like a tusk on the back of its jaw. A short beard of black fur grows from the bottom of its head, longest under the tip of the chin.

Illustration: Stormfront (Sci-fi Art)

Illustration of a pale orange stone desert, with mountains in the background. Behind the mountains looms a churning, deep blue stormfront, which is split by a single bolt of lightning that reaches to a nearby floating island, and from there to the nearest peak. Dust blows violently across the landscape in front of the storm, and in the foreground, two dragonfly-like mechs perch on some eroded rock formations. They have scrap solar panels for wings, and twin cockpits for eyes.

Two characters stand on top of the nearest mech; one sitting upon the wing rotator joint, and the other looking towards the storm through a pair of binoculars. In the further mech, the pilots remain in the eyeball cockpits. One appears to be viewing a holographic display within the glass, and the other is looking over his shoulder, eyes shaded, at the storm.

Congrats on the 850 and thank you for hosting, Jacky!

Hi, I'm Manuel and I make mostly spooky art using charcoal and digital means!

Messy mixed media charcoal portrait of a guy with a big teethy mouth staring at the viewer with beady little eyes. The paper is crumpled and stuck with pieces of masking tape.

Digital painting of a cosmic bloom opening up within the flow of time, revealing a glowing mote of swirling light.

Gritty digital painting of a winged character standing in a slightly mischievous, dynamic pose; a single large wing overhead. They are all in black, wearing red goggles. The background is in bright colors. Their head is accented by a halo-like splash of red and white.

Creepy charcoal portrait of a person half in light and half in darkness.

“Continental Drift”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a volcanic wasteland, sitting in between snowy mountains and a sprawling forestland.

18”x24” oil painting of a nebula in red and orange, above a dark forest in shades of purple, blue and black. A cozy campfire brightly lights a clearing next to an old log, and reflects on the surrounding trees. A rushing stream cuts through the forest.

18”x24” oil painting of a graveyard in autumn among a hilly landscape. The sky has yellows, reds, oranges and purples of sunset. A pumpkin sits against a large, bare tree, with gravestones dotting the landscape and into the distance. Grey fog creeps along parts of the ground.

“Amethyst Woods”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a dense forest path lined with bluish trees, filled with purple leaves. The forest floor is carpeted in hues of greens, yellows and purples. Strong sunlight streaks through the middle of the path.

Pen drawing of a large, textured humanoid facing left with a large disc shaped headpiece with silver highlights and a face that has several bronze eyes from the forehead to the chin. Their body has root like and bone protruding structures on it as it stands above several smaller, kneeling and crawling beings of the same species. They are in front of a large wall like structure that has some Greco-Roman style columns behind the being on the right in front of a large stone Eye of Ra structure. Behind that is a webbing reminiscent of neural connections with several electric purple/pink nodes with 3 larger of the nodes with strange script in them and being overgrown by the black tendrils.

Pen drawing of a figure kneeling around and, pressing down with both hands on, a stone with various symbols inscribed in it. Their face is a single point of light with a series of gems down their torso and a head that rises up into something that is a hybrid of a halo, antlers and branches while something resembling branch like wings extend from their shoulders and joining together at a point above the central being's head. This is happening on a throne like structure with faces pointing out to each side made up of twisted root and muscle like structures that flow out into alien vegetation and to the right are several being s with large eyes and extended teardrop bone like crested heads on the right side. In the visible sky are moons and shadowed shapes while a series of black, diamond-like shapes flanking each side of the central being.

Pen drawing of a human with a face that has it's skin distended and stretched, tubes and cybernetics surrounding the head in the armored cowl with the left eye replaced by a single, black lens. The flesh fills the hollow of the cowl while the rest of the body is encased in an armored space suit showing signs of wear as he strokes his pet, a multi-limbed amphibious looking creature with 6 legs while standing in front of a portal that shimmers with purple and blue energy while shadowy forms lurk and try to form in it, hinting at creatures on the other side unable to come through.
