Female Centaur

This is a digital painting done in 2012. The original was NSFW, I touched it up recently to make it more... user friendly! Entirely done in Photoshop.

Acid

This is a creature I designed as part of a challenge on conceptart.org with the prompt "Deaf, Blind, Acid Spitter." The idea I had about the creature is that it really wasn't blind despite not having eyes. The spikes on its head are hollow and function similar to antennas, such that they can pick up vibrations. The creature is able to sense the vibrations around it and actually have a very good sense of its surroundings. This creature is not actually too large, but is extremely fast and dangerous. Its sharp teeth and claws can shred flesh instantly, and the acid spewing, spike covered bulge on the tip of its tail is a weapon able to crush hard targets and inflict acid and deadly toxins into the bloodstream.
This started as a pencil drawing in 2011, which was then painted over. This was also a pivotal drawing for me, as it caused me to leave the CG Society website. This website was a great resource, but as I went to post this article into my profile it was not allowed because of of the admins there was a royal cnt and had it out for me. Rather than try to seek clarificaiton I just left the website and never looked back. I did see the entire portal went down recently, hope the worst for that admin. For anyone who was around that website, you can probably guess who I'm talking about.

Forkrul Assail - Sister Calm

This is a digital painting concept art of a member of the Forkrul Assail race of humanoid creatures described in the Malazan Empire series by Steven Erikson. It's my take on it at least. Originally this image was NSFW but it has been "cleaned up."

At the time I made this drawing I would consider it one of my more polished up character designs. Really enjoyed working on her.

Pencil sketch of one of my favorite video game characters. Made in 2012, kuppo!

Dryad Queen

This was a digital painting done for one of my favorite art streamers Stumpyfongo. He used to stream a lot in the midst of COVID, and I hung out there quite a bit while trying to do other stuff in the background. This specific drawing was done as part of a Lost Woods challenge, where participants had to draw characters they would find in a deep fantasy forest. I loved it!
The original concept sketch, I settled on the left one.
And here's the WIP GIF.

Tree Dragon

Done sometime in 2009, as part of a COW #154 (Creature of the Week) challenge on conceptart.org with the prompt of "Hanging Upside Down." This was all painted in Photoshop.

Beholder Drawings 2009

This was the year in which I went back to an old concept regarding Beholders, having these really bright burning central eyes. The drawing above was done for COW #156 (Creature of the Week) prompt on conceptart.org with the prompt "Red Hot Doom." Below are a couple of sketches with the same theme.

Black Tooth Cave Dweller

This was done sometime in 2009 as a COW (Creature of the Week) #154 over at conceptart.org withg the "Hanging Upside Down" prompt. The idea is that this little cutie hangs in caves, waiting for guests to arrive.

Dragoner

Hard to believe, this was from 2009. I remember making this drawing, I guess it was one of my better ones at the time. The girl was modeled after a photo of Kate Beckinsale. All painted in Photoshop. Here's the WIP:

Naga

This started as a really cool ink sketch. However, it scanned horribly, there's something about the ink which reflects during the scan process and makes the entire image look bad. I actually made this drawing sometime in 2023 and have been fiddling by painting it over in Photoshop in an attempt to make it look decent. I'md rather happy with the end result now and want to move on to other pieces.

Dragons - Ink Sketches from 2019

Here are a couple of sketches I made in the year of our Lord, 2019.
This one is a baby dragon on top of an egg that hasn't hatched yet. This sketch would serve as a basis for a digital painint I made a couple of years later.
Dive bomb! Dragons are never far from my mind. I grew up roaming the hills looking for lizardss and snakes. I love scaled things that are cool to the touch! Do you feel the same way?

Scaled Hounds - Sketch from February 2019

One of my favorite things to do during meetings is to draw. Sometimes people think I'm not listening, but I can breathe and chew bubble gum at the same time too!

Into the Sky

In times of peace or war, rain or shine, it's important to take your dragon out each day.  There's nothing quite like the exhilaration of falling into the heavens.


Digital painting made in Procreate and Photoshop, April 2018.
