Demon - Pencil Drawing from 2009

Yup, made this in 2009, still one of my favs.

The character is a lesser demon from the Eternal Seven storyline.

Demon Wing

Ink sketch from 2011, which has been modified in Photoshop to give it a more 3D look.

Hellguard

This is a pencil sketch that got painted over in Photoshop, made sometime in 2008. At the time I made this it was among my better illustrations and showcased my level as an artist. When I look back at it now there are many things I would change. Maybe this just needs to be redone!

However, this drawing was a huge step up for me in may regards. First off it was inspired by the work of an artist who went on to work for Blizzard. While making this illustration I feel like I actually learned a lot, even though it didn't necessarily translate to a better artwork.

This is also one of my first images I started doing WIPs for.

Kissable

Ink drawing modified in Photoshop, made sometime in 2022.

Demonica 2010

Digital paining from 2010.

Cthulhu

This is an illustration I created mostly in 2021, though the original ball-point pen ink sketch was made about an year earlier in 2020. This particular piece was selected as a Daily Deviation on deviant art and is what I would consider my most popular artwork today in terms of how much exposure it got.

A detailed zoomed in shot from the final illustration.

Here's also a WIP GIF which showcases some of the stages of the artwork as it came along.

Amalgamation

This is probably the first time in the history of this blog that I am actually posting current work! This guy aims to answer the question "what would happen if your already thick neck grew an extra set of arms?" ... and stuff!

This is the original ballpoint pen ink sketch from 2022. As you can see it didn't change much between the original and the final painting which was done with Photoshop.

Zalei Ironhand

This is the original, first art, of a character from the Eternal Seven story. The concept has since been refined, but I love this old pencil drawing made sometime in 2006. Color is a simple overlay done in Photoshop.

Empath Demon

This is an ink drawing from 2015.
 

Ironically, this is also my most stolen artowrk. I've seen multiple instances on the internet where this artowrk was claimed/stolen by other artists, in some instances generating quite a lot of likes and comments. Once again proving I'm terrible at marketing myself and generating exposure for my art. It's ok though, at least I'm making the art. Maybe long after I'm dead my art will be worth something. For now it's just a release for me, and that is the ultimate point in art. Cheers!

Ars Goetia 61 - Zagan

Zagan, one of the nine Kings of Hell.

A very powerful entity who commands over thirty three legions of demons. Listed as the sixty first demon described in the Lesser Key of Solomon. He is classified as both President and King, both titles symbolic of the power and sway he has within the infernal abyss.

When summoned, Zagan often assumes the shape of a winged bull, but will transform into a man some time after being conjured. He has the power to turn water into wine, blood into wine, and back again. He also has the power to turn any metal into coins. It is said that he can impart great knowledge upon any man, and even turn a fool wise.

Personal illustration from 2021, done in Procreate and Photoshop.  Here is the WIP:

One with the shadows and fire

There can be no shadow without light. Ink sketch from 2022.

Aptorian and Kalam

The Aptorian demon is a creature from the Shadow Realm described in the Malazan Empire series of books by Steven Erikson. It is a three legged demon, with a massive fasceted eye, and this is my take on it. Kalam is also a central character that features in many of the books, and notably has a story arc with the Aptorian demon. This is a tiny pencil sketch, when I say tiny, it's about 2 inches across, which I made in the margin of a notebook sometime in 2013.

I N F E R N O

Fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin!

It's a quote from Dark Souls, the Ringed City, but it spoke to me in ways that are depicted in this picture.  At the time I made this artwork I wanted to push myself, to see what I can actually do as an artist.  I worked on this a long time, and I'm rather happy with the result.  Looking at it now, there are things I would change, but I suspect more art in this vein will come in the future.  

This digital painting was made in 2021.   

Detrail 1 is the angel being dragged down into the inferno.

Detail 2 is the big demons on the ground.

Detail of Flyer! These guys in and of themselves were in line with the usual quality of art I produce in a full piece, here they are just lost in the big picture.

Another flying little devil.

The last of the gratuitous detailed shots. This artwork was entirely done in Photoshop and on stream. A print is available for sale in my artstation shop. Hope you enjoyed!

Long Tail

A long tail can really be useful at times, and problematic at others. You can step on it, even trip on it! But hey, you know what they say? It's the motion of the ocean!

Ink sketch, colored in Photoshop.

Carrier Demon - June 2021

This is another iteration of the Carrier Demon concept from the Eternal Seven storyline.

Here's the original ink sketch which was scanned in and painted over in Photoshop.
Don't let the bed bugs bite!

Hope

This is a ballpoint pen ink illustration I made over the last week. It represents hope. Speaking of hope, I hope 2024 will be a better year for art. I am feeling the urge to start drawing again despite all the distractions and demands placed upon me. Cheers y'all!
