Cringetober #2 - Weird colors. I thought that participating in Cringetober will be funny way to explore stuff I would not normally draw. So far I have this radioactive lady.

It has been a long time, but I am finally able to upload something again. Elf commission, you saw that character earlier.

Finished swamp dragon. I removed the teeth, because it didn't look good in the end, same with whiskers. I can imagine this dragon, lurking in the swampy water, camouflaged and ready to strike.

Sketch of a swamp dragon. I imagine it as a quite large, but slow dragon, that spends lots of time resting somewhere near water.

Thank you

Honestly, August this year feels more like October where I live, so can't blame little sharky for mistaking it for Halloween time ;)

What if we would put skin on bird skeleton? We would have a creepy monster, but strangely cute at the same time? I want to make series of those.

Tried something a little different. It turned out nicely, especially because it was my first time drawing a motorcycle

Finished commission, reference sheet of a dragon. I really like this design, reminds me of a forest.

Wasn't uploading for a while but i am finally able to show some illustrations. This one is another dragon reference sheet, but style and quality is changing, the more I draw them.

Few more sketches of Nyctophobia (or just Nycto). He is some form of a demon, boogie man kinda. He is making people afraid of what can be hiding in the darkness, but if you get to know him, he is really sweet.

Reference sheet commission. it was a lot of spikes to draw, but after all, it turned out great.
Why do i like this simple, cartoony style so much? I don't know, but it is so cute and nice to look at.
