We've done easkulls with more pitbull flair, here's more bull. A bullskull. I suppose it also highlights their mammal-ness. They're not dragons : o

Hi all!

Despite my lack of presence recently I'm very much alive. Life has been mostly work and trying to navigate everything so my own art took a major pause. All the spare time is spent resting and socialising away from the workstation. It will probably continue bit more. Thank you! #fantasyart

Back when I used to be much more into pencils. Probably around my uni days in 2009 ish

The vfx shots from Mufasa were too perfect to pass on a quick mock up since the skin color was just spot on for an average Ligrys.
It will be a big help going forward with lighting.

I did a redraw of @sythgara.bsky.social 's character Thorn, he turned out better than I imagined he would. Enjoy :>

Guess who got access to a decade old zbrush model and is refining it now? The body is supposed to have slight differences to humans. It will become more apparent with time. The head was the most needed update

(White - new)

We have this short, stocky little squirrel in the garden. Plus the wonky tail! It seems to be doing OK but I've never seen one like this.

3rd time's the charm! It's been few years but I finally like this!
This is Irisia, one of the female Arnuks on my ensamble. She doesn't have a solid place in the book yet but I have some ideas.

A couple of days ago I posted a link to the Durin's Song which has been making rounds on YT. I liked it so much I had this sudden image of a new easkull character singing some of the parts along with my current guys. And there we have it! Still settling on overall colors.

Leah is coming out better and better! I've come to accept the painterly vs quick draw versions will differ in the end. I like the realistic versions when I picture it as a movie, compared to the more Disney/2d feature for the expressiveness and ease of drawing them repeatedly.

I'm trying out a more stylised eye placement without worrying too much about 3d accuracy. I think it fits quite well.
For now this is just a random character, more chunky and broad.

I keep digging through my old stuff to find more material to remaster, and I stumbled upon this piece I drew after creating a new character for the book hehe. God they've changed so much since.

May I direct you to one of my youtube oldies?

My yt is always in the back of my head. Largely unused. Finding fitting, free, music has always been the major hurdle in the process.

If anyone can point me to a good library I'm all ears!

Just wanted to share this with Fellow Tolkien Fans. The voice range, and the poetry of words just transport you back to Middle earth.

'In his wake'

I forgot meant for him to be more insecty in the face, but I defaulted to the old skully look!

Today I finally dug up my gouache paints. And the first victim to practice on is this old watercolor painting of a golem from my story.

Currently it's still a wip but it's getting there. I adore that I can lay on any color on top of the other. Great paints!
