Back to the zombies - I decided to take a bit of a break with the background painting so I could work on one of my other concepts.

Really happy with how this one turned out! Skin textures were def a proof of concept that I'll be taking back to the first one.

#zombie #conceptart #creaturedesign

Image depicts a heavily scarred zombie aberration. It's pale, with intense strictures, boils, and a flayed back that resembles wings. The center of its torso is cracked open in a radiant void. Light pours from its eyes, mouth, chest, and from its open back. Bottom of the image is signed "Umber the Prussian Blue"

With the confidence of my last illustration, I'm pushing myself to do more backgrounds. I gotta stop being such a wiener about it 🤣

Ultimately, this will be a part of a horror/zombie set of creature illustrations.

More to follow (...slowly)

Image shows a work in progress. It depicts a ruined city in greens, browns, and purples, with a cathedral that stands in the distance.

I need to treat my eyes to looking at something different for a minute so I thought I'd give this trend a whack (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

This was more difficult than I thought it would be!

A circular template made up of wedges representing the different colors of the color wheel. Each slice is a different piece of artwork featuring that color. At the center it reads Umber the Prussian Blue and color wheel

commission for @adomania.bsky.social, their character Laz! i fell in love with his design, thank you for trusting me with him 🤍🤎💙

#art

a hips-up digital portrait of a faun character. he has light skin and short reddish-brown wavy hair with prominent white streaks on the left side. the fur on his thighs and hips is a similar shade of brown, and so are the filigree tattoos on his arms, the backs of his hands and neck. he has long horns that curve out from the top of his head and then back towards his chin; the top part is brown with thin carvings, while the bottom is dark blue and reminiscent of a starry sky. he is wearing an elaborate and well-fitted white outfit with golden trims and detailing, the lining of his wide split sleeves featuring the same starry sky as his horns. he is standing confidently, holding four cards in his right hand by his hip, and a fifth in his left, delicately pinching it between his index and middle fingers and covering his left eye with it. the backs of the cards are burgundy in color and feature a golden eye-like design. the background behind the character also features eyes, stylized and simple, one of them framing his head like a halo.

another commission for @adomania.bsky.social, their wonderful faun Lazarus! thank you for the opportunity to draw this boy again ✨
#art

shoulders-up digital painting of a young-looking faun, watching the viewer from behind his hands. he has light skin that fades into a tawny gradient on his forehead, shoulder-length wavy auburn and white hair with the color split down the middle, and large ram's horns that curl out and then in towards his chin. the top side of the horns is brown, with filigree carvings in it, while the bottom side is dark blue like a starry sky. the horns are shattered in a few places, the shards held in place close to each other as if by magic. the faun's eyes have dark sclera, blue irises and bright gold pupils; so does the third eye in the middle of his forehead, embedded into the bone with a few dark cracks around it spreading down the faun's face. all three eyes are looking at the viewer with an intense expression from behind the gracefully held long-clawed fingers, the faun's lips in a slight smile.
the painting is done in a semi-realistic style, with the color scheme that is almost iridescent.

If I could adopt someone and lend them legal financial benefits like you can do with other family - I absolutely would. 😩

Omg 👀❤️ Gallus is so sexually oblivious it would probably take intense flirting for him to figure it out lol. He often relies on false confidence to talk his way around conflict - so I can def see Gallus warming up to Darius. He'd also deny up and down that he's not attracted to him (lieees)

Umber | Commissions OPEN @theprussianblue.bsky.social · May 8

He'd def gravitate to Drex! I don't think Gallus meets other drow he can relate to very often haha. I think, yeah, he'd be intimidated by Rana - but curious. He'd try to mask his unease with intentional cool-guy friendliness because the big scary is better on your side than not 🤣

Umber | Commissions OPEN @theprussianblue.bsky.social · May 8

Hmm, probably wouldn't romance - but definitely befriend! They seem fun :D

Umber | Commissions OPEN @theprussianblue.bsky.social · May 8

#TavQOTD Share your tavs/durges and let people say if they’d romance / befriend them if they were a companion!

Gallus is a trans-masc Menzoberranzan escapee (fugitive?). He's clever, sarcastic, and overly observant of everything except for his own two feet. Actually very shy and easily spooked.

BG3 screencap featuring Gallus, with Karlach and Lae'zel in the background. He's wearing a fancy black overcoat with gold details.

Gallus in his armor - bright red hat, royal blue robes with gold trim, staff. He has his arms crossed and is rolling his eyes.

The boy - Gallus. He has dark drow skin, white hair pulled in a half pony. His ears are pierced, wears heavy black eye makeup, and has the beholder neck tattoo. He has a wide burn scar on half of his face.

Happy Saturday! Thanks for the #artshare !! 💚✨

I'm Jacq, an illustrator and aspiring concept artist working on various fantasy art projects, such as a tarot card deck based on a D&D campaign I play with my friends!

A fey mumanoid posed in a creepy "performer" like manner, wearing ripped-up circus clothes with ballerina slippers and a ruffled collar. Her eyes are black, and she has razor-sharp fingernails.

A drow and wood elf couple hug while standing in the feywild.

A portrait of Messmer the Impaler from Elden Ring.

The Hermit tarot card depicts a robotic humanoid looking into a cracked mirror, whose reflection shows a dragonborn looking back.
