Yep, It's art recap.
So what do we have...

Lots of fanarts this year (of my fav games).
Also tried drawing comics for the first time in forever, so that was an experience.
Some short stories (related to death, magic and/or fey) of my OC.

In Summary: Melancholic as usual.

Update:

(WIP)
Still working on this. Left side is almost ready. And by almost, I have to figure out and add the background. Or should I keep it minimalist...
On the right side three prominent characters left to illustrate: Crusher, trapper and sneaky Zealot. Plus some poxwalkers running.

(sigh...)

Current WIP

It feels like it's going to take a while to finish.🤔

With new introduction of Arbites and the dogos, I decided to make another fanart with my characters.

"Vampire child and Yearning for Motherly Love"

Sketch & Finished work

Slight changes in the narrative:

"Mother" is awake and horrified vs "Mother" is charmed and "peaceful".

Also I decided to change the partner to be more ambiguous for my own sake.

"Vampire child and Yearning for Motherly Love"

The woman used to pray countless days for a child she could love and care for. One evening a lonely creature of the night heard them...

Here some sketches:

Moment of respite - Ogryn, Darktide warhammer 40k fanart

"Ogryn Gromm sits deep in thought. Only Emperor knows what he is thinking"

Progress so far.
Added color and some lighting.
Mostly finished detailing Ogryn (the center), maybe I'll add some tattoos later on.
Working on Plague ogryn atm (monster on the left). He should be covered with more blood and rotten flesh. And maggots. Lots of maggots.

Ogryn (Gunlugger) Darktide fanart sketch.
Moment of respite
(Planning to make for all chars)

The progress is slow, but it always has been.

IRL returned back home from the trip. And decided to start with a fanart to warm up before doing personal work

This one is from 2014.
"One's nature"

It is quite old, and even though I don't draw in this style anymore, I still like it (partly because it speaks to me on a personal level but nvm).
My little inner child.

2018, Imp, dnd character

fanart sketch of one of the characters in “the Nameless ones” (campaign on Tablestory)

2022, Kenku, Voice stealer-Attack at the Inn

“Listen up. They call him voice stealer or collector.
He is essentially a crazed individual, earned his infamy by stalking and maiming people with what he considers "beautiful voices", mostly bards, orators and such…”

Just for comparison:

Chaotic good/neutral thief
Vs
Neutral Evil druid

2021, Worshipper of Lolth 🕷️

Drow have always been my favourite. I usually play as good/neutral aligned drow/elves thieves in video games but for the evil run (in bg3) I decided to try out just a slight different character.
Lolth sworn drow Druid.

And thus later on in 2022 and 2023 these two were created, carrying the same theme.

Wild ones (faeries) - Rite of passage
SM and V. To Valhalla!

I’m not a believer in afterlife though I understand the appeal. It’s the deeds, painting, joy, feeling worthy that soothes my brain. For a time.

2018. Sisters

“Until death reunites us”

I suppose at that time (still now from time to time) my head was getting preoccupied with thoughts of one’s mortality. The inevitability and eternity of nothingness - concepts my anxious mind was struggling with. To visualise, to imagine.
