I N F E R N O
Fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin!
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!
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.

Pantiless Assassin 2018
There once was a thread on conceptart.org that ran for many years, of people adding these female character assassins that were not fans of under garments. This original sketch was made in 2008 and finshed about a decade later.
And there's the WIP, this was all done digitally, with Photoshop and Procreate.
The Morrigan
From Wikipedia: The Morrígan or Mórrígan, also known as Morrígu, is a figure from Irish mythology. The name is Mór-Ríoghain in Modern Irish. It has been translated as "great queen", "phantom queen" or "queen of phantoms".
The Morrígan is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death or victory in battle. In this role she often appears as a crow, the badb. She incites warriors to battle and can help bring about victory over their enemies. The Morrígan encourages warriors to do brave deeds, strikes fear into their enemies, and is portrayed washing the bloodstained clothes of those fated to die. She also has some connection with sovereignty, the land and livestock. In modern times she is often called a "war goddess" and has also been seen as a manifestation of the earth- and sovereignty-goddess, chiefly representing the goddess's role as guardian of the territory and its people.
The Morrígan is often described as a trio of individuals, all sisters, called 'the three Morrígna'. Membership of the triad varies; sometimes it is given as Badb, Macha and Nemain while elsewhere it is given as Badb, Macha and Anand (the latter is given as another name for the Morrígan). It is believed that these were all names for the same goddess. The three Morrígna are also named as sisters of the three land goddesses Ériu, Banba and Fódla. The Morrígan is said to be the wife of The Dagda, while Badb and Nemain are said to be the wives of Neit.
She is associated with the banshee of later folklore.
This drawing was updated using Procreate in 2018 but was originally made for a 2008 Character of the Week (ChOW) challenge at the now defunct conceptart.org website.
