Just some regular honest to god sketches today. In a sketchbook?? Who could have imagined it! Working on some bigfoot drawings for a commission. #art #sketch #ballpoint #pen #bigfoot #sasquatch

One more before bed. A vampire, and trying for a more minimal ornamenting look for this one - not as much pattern inside the base shape as with the others. #art #arylic #marker #vampire #monster

Another one of those marker sketches, this time a demon. Not much to add to that really. #art #acrylic #marker #demon #fantasy #D&D #monster

I AIN'T DONE YET! I am not kidding that these are very fun and very easy to do. Here's a lich. #art #acrylic #marker #lich #D&D #fantasy #monster

These are actually quite fun to doodle and quick too. This time it's a celestial warrior of some kind. An angel, an archon a whatever. Just put it in your D&D game! #art #acrylic #marker #fantasy #D&D #folkart

Very happy with today's daily sketch. I often struggle with the folk art/naive art kind of look, my years of education have kind of cooked my brain in that regard. But this one gets close! #art #acrylic #markers #wolf #folkart

Today's daily drawing - a Psoglav. Wolf-headed men with one eye (artistic depictions vary on how that looks) and the legs of a horse. Live underground, eat human corpses and have tons of gems. Perfect D&D monsters in other words. #art #sketch #ink #psoglav #slavic #folklore #D&D

Very loose and chaotic sketch today of a Vine Stalker, one of the species you can play in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. It's a plant with a knife that eats magic, basically. #art #sketch #watercolor #markers #vinestalker #DCSS #roguelike

Decided to just leave it black and white. Also the composition on the page makes this impossible to scan well, so a photo is what it gets. #art #drawing #ink #pen #bugbear #D&D #monster #fantasy

Koschei the Deathless, the OG Lich of folklore. Inaugural sketch in the next sketchbook, it's important to not be precious with it - these are sketchbooks, they are meant for sketches. #art #sketchbook #sketch #watercolor #markers #koschei #slavic #folklore #lich

Decided to just leave it black and white. Also the composition on the page makes this impossible to scan well, so a photo is what it gets. #art #drawing #ink #pen #bugbear #D&D #monster #fantasy

Decided to draw another pumpkin-headed bugbear today, and now I am at a point where I need to decide if this will be a black and white ink drawing, or an ink and wash watercolor one. #art #ink #fantasy #D&D #bugbear #monster

Last night I finally finished my current sketchbook. This one took, as you can see, 4 years to complete. Half of the drawings in there are only from 2026. There is only one single page from 2024. Sometimes, these things take time, and that's okay. #art #sketchbook

And another piece today, as well as the last one in my current sketchbook. Considering I started this one in 2023, it has been a long trek getting it filled. I still need to do some work on the cover and end papers, but it is done. #art #acrylic #marker #undead #skeleton

Started playing in a new campaign tonight, and ran into these things as the first monsters we found in the dungeon. No, I also have no idea why they're called Beak Dogs. #art #sketch #ink #watercolor #monster #OD&D #D&D #OSR

A drawing for the Chef class from here: pressthebeast.bearblog.dev/super-natheq... Absolutely disturbing motherfuckers, these guys. #art #drawing #acryllic #markers #D&D #OSR #monster

I've had a headache all morning, so today's drawing is a quick and rough one. #art #sketch #pen #watercolor #markers #wizard #D&D #getzappedmotherfucker

And for today's drawing I have been trying to finish off a rough ink sketch I did a few weeks ago. This could still use more refinement, but it's at a place where I can call it mostly done. #art #sketch #wolf #watercolor #pen #ink

A drawing for the Chef class from here: pressthebeast.bearblog.dev/super-natheq... Absolutely disturbing motherfuckers, these guys. #art #drawing #acryllic #markers #D&D #OSR #monster

Another quickie today, a caveman for when I inevitably get around to writing up that as a class on my blog. #art #sketch #watercolor #markers #caveman

Today's bit of art is for a flyer I am making for my in-person weekly game. Decided to go for wonky hand-lettering, rather than just writing it digitally. The space underneath is where I've put a QR code for the discord server I use to organize it. #art #ink #sketch #D&D #OSR #gate

Busy day today, and so my drawing for today is just some quick pen sketches of Jenx. A character I have drawn so many times over the years I basically can do so while barely even thinking while I do it. #art #sketch #ballpoint #pen

And here is the fifth and final one! The Pentadrone has been a favorite of mine for a while because of the whole "angry peeled banana" look it has. This one was very fun to draw. #art #sketch #watercolor #ballpoint #pen #fantasy #Modron #pentadrone #Planescape #D&D

Another day, another Modron. The Quadrone I think is probably tied with the Monodrone for most iconic of these guys. #art #sketch #watercolor #ballpoint #pen #modron #quadrone #D&D #Planescape

And here is the finished color version of the tridrone all done! #art #sketch #watercolor #ballpoint #pen #modron #tridrone #D&D #planescape

A #workinprogress for the next modron. Plan is to have this lil guy done early enough today to start in the most iconic one, the quadrone. Also have to decide if I'm doing a rogue modron as well. #art #sketch #ballpoint #pen #modron

In another #ArtILike I am absolutely smitten by the work of Felix Scheinberger. The looseness and sketchiness of his pieces just conveys character wonderfully. You can find stuff on his website: www.felixscheinberger.de including originals for sale at shockingly decent prices!

Did the lines yesterday, but only got around to adding color this morning. Next rank up the modron hierarchy. #art #sketch #watercolor #ballpoint #pen #modron #duodrone #D&D #Planescape

Still on a bit of a Planescape kick (John Grimek notwithstanding) so I sketched a monodrone. Quite happy with this one. #art #sketch #watercolor #ballpoint #pen #modron #monodrone #D&D #Planescape

I just finished coloring this one. I like it for a cover or poster. Recreating a 3 color #risograph or #screenprint . #ttrpg #art #drawing #dnd #osr

I kept saying I was going to have another stab at drawing that photo of bodybuilder John Grimek, so I did. Compoisition is better this time, but the proportions are still not quite entirely right. #art #sketch #bodybuilder #johngrimeck #ballpoint #pen

Working the white slaad concept a bit more, specifically the pose I hope to go for with the finished piece. #art #sketch #slaad #D&D #watercolormarker #fantasy #planescape

Today is an even rougher sketch, since I have had this idea buzzing in my head all day and wanted to put it on paper. This is some quick brainstorming and concept drawing for a White Slaad illustration to do in the future. #art #sketch #watercolor #slaad #D&D #monster #planescape

A Mind Flayer to go along with the Githyanki sketch from yesterday. #art #sketch #watercolor #markers #pen #mindflayer #Illithid #D&D #planescape #monster

Quick and rough sketch of a #githyanki for today's drawing. Between finishing up the Chromatic Mages and my weekly game, I didn't really have much time for anything more detailed. Also always cover up bad anatomy with extra bits! ALWAYS! #art #sketch #watercolor #pen #marker #D&D

Today's sketch is a cartoony, stylized landscape, because sometimes a man just has the urge to draw a castle with a big yellow moon behind it. #art #sketch #watercolormarkers #spooky #landscape #forest #castle

Today's drawing is another bear, but this time a real world one, not an RPG character. Hank the Tank is famous enough to have her own Wikipedia page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_th...) and how can she not? #art #sketch #ballpoint #pen #bear #hankthetank #markers

Some of the most gorgeous dungeon maps I've ever seen.

Quick color sketch of some Chromatic Mages, inspired by the OD&D supplement by Idraluna: idraluna-archives.bearblog.dev/color-coded-... #art #sketch #acrylicmarkers #mages #D&D #OD&D #OSR

Morning sketch today is a quick marker sketch of this wonderful photo of bodybuilder John Grimek. I ended up messing up the proportions and so his foot wound up out of frame, oops! #art #sketch #bodybuilder #watercolormarker

Some more birch trees today, which are always, always so much fun to draw. #art #sketch #ballpoint #pen #watercolor #birch #trees

Despite Jenx being what the kids call my "OC", I realized this evening that I have not drawn this character in literal years. And one of the albums of old sketches I have been making has basically just him in it. So I gave the old boy a go. #art #sketch #ballpoint #pen #watercolor #marker #mage

Today's sketch is of a Chort, which are North and Central Slavic spirits of mischief and evil and, to be real for a second, are just Christian devils basically. #art #sketch #watercolormarker #chort #slavic #folklore #devil

An Alkanost, one of many "bird, but with a lady's face and/or tits" of Russian folklore. This one is drawn in the style of Ivan Bilibin. #art #watercolor #illustration #alkanost #slavic #folklore #mythology #bilibin

Today's drawing is another bear, but this time a real world one, not an RPG character. Hank the Tank is famous enough to have her own Wikipedia page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_th...) and how can she not? #art #sketch #ballpoint #pen #bear #hankthetank #markers

Today in #ArtILike I actually want to share a video! Specifically this lovely look into the sketchbooks of one Katie Stoltze. youtu.be/7pp4bGu8kn4. The first time I saw these they set my mind on fire, and are the reason for the last few sketchbook drawings I've posted.

Another creature from Slavic folklore, this time the Rusalka. The spirit of a woman that died by drowning (either drowning herself or being killed by someone else) who then haunts the waters she died in, luring others to the same fate. #art #watercolor #drawing #slavic #foklore #mythology #rusalka

Today's sketch is a cartoony, stylized landscape, because sometimes a man just has the urge to draw a castle with a big yellow moon behind it. #art #sketch #watercolormarkers #spooky #landscape #forest #castle

A quick sketch of Misha the Wide, a War Bear character I've played in various OD&D and B/X pickup games online. #art #sketch #pen #markers #warbear #D&D #OSR

Late night sketch as I was trying to get at least one thing drawn yesterday. #art #watercolormarkers #sketch #lenin
