Beholder - Digital Paintover 2024

Beholder - Digital Paintover 2024
This is another sketch that I intended to paint over for a long time. The original tiny ink sketch was made in 2022. Finally got around to it in the last week and here's the result. Unfortunately I lost the high-res file in the process of finalizing the image and creating the WIP animation.

Centaur Warrior
This is a digital painting done in 2012. The original was NSFW, I touched it up in 2024 to make it more... user friendly! Entirely done in Photoshop.

Dryad Queen

Dryad Queen Character Design Final
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.

Elric and the Sad Giant

Elric and the Sad Giant
This is an illustration from 2010, done mostly in Photoshop. If you're not familiar with the hero and the story, I suggest you look into it. Highly recommended.

The Duel

The Duel - Warcraft Paladin and Dreadlord
This is a pencil drawing from 2006 (I think) that was colored digitally in Photoshop. It represents about the peak of my art skills at the time. I did this for a Blizzard art challenge that was posted online and the drawing represents a couple of characters from Warcraft. When I look back at this now, it looks terrible, but I still love it.

The Sea of Blood and Tears

A NSFW photo was used as a reference for the figure.  Done mostly in Photoshop, sometime in 2021.

Ars Goetia 61 - Zagan

Zagan - Ars Goetia - King of Hell
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:

Carrier Demon v2011

Carrier Demon v2011
This is a pencil drawing which was colored in Photoshop and probably my favorite take on the Carrier Demon concept. Made in 2011, one of my best art years.
Carrier Demon v2011 Detail
A more gratuitous detailed shot of the back for my own enjoyment. No, I really don't care if you like it.

K'Chain Che'Malle

K'Chain Che'Malle
Pencil drawing of a creature from the Malazan Empire series by Steven Erikson. Made in 2011, it was one of my finest artworks that I am most proud of.

I N F E R N O

Inferno
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.   

Inferno - Detail 5
Detrail 1 is the angel being dragged down into the inferno.
Inferno - Detail 4
Detail 2 is the big demons on the ground.
Inferno - Detail 3
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.
Inferno - Detail 2
Another flying little devil.
Inferno - Detail 1
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!
