I wanted to finish this one so bad today, but it wasn't in the cards for me, alas. Pro tip: don't do perspective when you've got a cold. Happy Heartbreak day, Julia!

Fanart! Charge of the LD Rangers, taking a break from venting to a punching bag

Digital drawing of a brown-skinned woman leaning against two elastic bands. She is dressed in sports clothes and has her hands wrapped in boxing bandages. Her top is branded, blue and white forming a stylized lightning bold, with a stylized R on it. She has her short hair held back by a white bandana. She is looking to the right, brow furrowed and pensive. A close-up of the woman's face.

And one more image of that Peter Pan inspired collab: have a look into the interior of the forest. When I say some of the trees are huge, I mean they are ✨huge✨. Big enough to build houses on top!

View of a fantastical forest. Several small trees crowd around a huge tree trunk. Ferns make the ground invisible. On one of the trees in the lower left corner, a child is in the process of climbing back down. Sunlight streams through the canopy above.

Here is another bit of the collab inspired by Peter Pan I worked on. Neverland is home to a species of huge trees--we're talking taller than a redwood! Magic is a liquid here; you might be able to spot it flowing down the mountainside 👀👀

#conceptart #peterpan #photobashing #art #digitalart
Bird's eye view of an island shrouded in clouds and surrounded by the deep blue sea. Most of the island is covered in forest, with a few huge trees rising above the rest of the canopy. The forest is bisected in two by a river and sports two lakes. On the right-hand side, a tall mountain disappears off-screen.

Last year I did a collab with some amazingly talented people inspired by Peter Pan. One of the highlights of what I worked on: the home of the game's protagonist!

Digital painting of the interior of a house built into a cave inside a tree. To the left, a skylight leads down into the room via a ladder. Behind the ladder on a wooden pedestal stands a chest that looks like a huge coconut. The lid of the chest is tethered to the roof of the room by a rope going through a pulley system. Past the chest, in a halfway closed-off cubby, is the bed. It consists out of a fluffy blanket and several pillows laid out on a net. A huge leaf hangs over the bed like a canopy. To the right of the room is a table, which has golden filligree on one end, and above it a window. The walls of the cave are decorated with white paint in several places. Part of the roof of the cave are the lamellae of a mushroom.

I had a ton of fun seeing this matte painting come to life. The Last of Us zombies are so freaky, they're great XD XD XD

#mattepainting #conceptartist #conceptart #lastofus #lastofusfanart #lastofuszombies
Matte-painting of two zombies of The Last of Us in the hallway of a derelict building. One zombie is hiding behind the other and shrinking back from the viewer. The hallway is filled with rubble and puddles on the floor, in which plants have started to grow. RAW images for the matte painting of the zombies. The hallway is noticably brighter and the zombies don't fit with the background.

A spaceship fit for all your traveling purposes. I hope you have arrived safely in the new year! (Left image is the finished artwork, right image is the raw photos)

#conceptart #conceptartist #photobashing #digitalart #spaceship #cyberpunk
A spaceship taking off in a tunnel-like hangar. The only thing visible of the spaceship are the three thrusters, which are glowing and pointing towards the viewer. In the hangar there are three people with their back to the viewer. They are visible only as silhouettes and are watching as the spaceship departs. The raw images out of which this piece of photobashing has been constructed. What becomes the starry sky in the final image is actually a metal-plated wall. The illumination of the hangar are stripes of laser. The thrusters of the spaceship are turbines. The three people are missing.

And the last one in this series! Same character, different age. I gotta say, aging her up was a challenging but fun exercise

Same character as an adult! She climbs buildings for a living, and the neon patches on her clothes help her blend in with the city's ever-illuminated nightscape.

First post! This was a little character design exercise that I liked the result of. Hold my hand and I'll take you into a world of glitchy cyberpunk imagination ^^
