Here's a new bug elf for you! Well. Old-New. This is a Banshee, a Mantis Elf. This one is in calm form, veil on, not currently mourning, just walking. Mourning Banshees are incredibly dangerous (I will paint it soon) This design was painted for my D&D setting called Gaol #sketch #fantasy #dnd #art

New Banshee design. Because I just felt the old ones, based on Mantis insects, were not exactly what I had in mind Hope the idea is more clear now #sketch

This is a mantis fairy I sketched for a private client. This one was a bit of a challenge, but I hope in the end it works <3 I love it when people come to me with their own bug characters #sketch #art #sketchbook

There is no good way to post it (art too long) This is DM Screen I painted for Adventure Calls Entertainment (ACE) company. This illustration is ~110cm long and I spent months painting it. I got tasked with painting a group of bug adventurers #illustration #ttrpg #dnd

I'm in progress of rendering a double dragon piece for a client. Work going slower (I got a bit sick) but I'm slowly crawling back to my normal speed. Today I've done the mountains in the background and the jaws #wipart

This is an illustration n of an ancient deity conceptualised and painted for a private client. This was a partial character design work, as I received a pre-owned design. They are pretty different from each other, but I thought it's good to know #art #fantasy #horror #illustration #characterdesign

This is my D&D team I'll be DMing for (part 2, the positively crazy half of the team). We'll be playing 5e (with some modifications) on a custom setting called Gaol. The group will help me to playtest the custom species, mechanics and subclasses :3 #dnd #ttrpg

Here's the second Weeshee I drew. They are elves based on glowworms :3 This one is definitely creepier but it also shows the anatomy better. It's part of a series of my bug elves, which portray playable species for my D&D 5e setting. #dnd #sketch #art #characterdesign

Here's a sketch for a commission in progress! I was tasked with designing this eldritch creature based on provided horse (?) creature reffs! This is not full character deign, more like, re-design. I can't wait to render all those organic textures <3 #sketch #wipart

This is my D&D team I'll be DMing for (part 1). We'll be playing 5e (with some modifications) on a custom setting called Gaol. The group will help me to playtest the custom species, mechanics and subclasses #dnd #ttrpg #5e

Here's the new bug elf, finished! This is a Weeshee, the glowworm elf. This species are trickster spirits, whose sense of humour may be anything from pretty harmless to straight up malicious #conceptart #sketch #dnd #art #fantasy

Here's a halfbody art of a Siren/Water Nymph named Rhea I painted as a commission. This was not a character design, more like a light re-design of a pre-existing concept

Glowworm Elf part 2 I added colours yesterday and it looks even more scary/grimm. I wanted to do a prankster/light themed seelie fey but ended with this. I still want to render them. I'll just need to change mechanics a bit to match the look I design the glowworms for my D&D book #dnd #sketch #art

I got some extra free-work time in between commissions so I started working on the next Bug Elf for the book. This is an elf based on a glowworm. I wanted to make them cute and whimsical, but I started getting ideas midway shape study and I ended up with a haunted skeleton :V #sketch

Hi hi! I remember a few of you really enjoyed this dragon, so here's the finished version! I was tasked with doing a creature design of a dragon with two heads but one head at the same time. This is what I came up with :3 #digitalart #dragon #art

Magister Profesor Eberhardt Orza One of my characters I especially love. Quick warmup before serious work #sketch

Just some quick warmup sketches of two hobgoblin NPC's for my upcoming campaign. Hobgoblins are my favourite classic D&D species <3 Anyway, these two are called Maorice and Vakh #sketch #dnd #dndart #hobgoblin

Here's a full of as tick elf. I know that I've been referring to this creature as Weeshee, but during writing I decided to change it into the Adhene. Weeshee is too whimsical of a name, and it will be connected to another bug elf - the glowworm, who is yet to be painted #sketch #conceptart #dnd

Here's a mid-progress character design/portrait for a client I don't know, I'm just having so much fun with this :D #illustration #dragon #horror

Some time ago I was requested to paint a demon called Xenikk for a private client. The client later returned for a full illustration portraying the character once again. This is what I came up with - hope you like it! #illustration #demon #fantasy #art

Feylights of Gaol (the book) will require dozens (if not more) artworks painted and sketched. I need to figure out a quick way to paint, so this is one of my attempts. I can feel it in my bones, I'm gonna be sick of trees very very soon :'> #sketch #painting #art

This here is one of my bugelves! It's a bug tick. I know she doesn't look this way, but under that flower crown, where the petals touch the scalp, hides a bug. And it pupeteers the body so it can surive in the material world #conceptart #dnd #sketch #characterconcept #ocart

Here's the full artwork of the Rosy Maple Moth Fara (moth elf) I painted recently! This character was designed for my D&D player/friend <3 He will feature in our upcoming campaign. I called him 'The Collector' #conceptart #dnd #moth #sketch #art #characterdesign

HI! I'M BACK! I did NOT plan a break, no sir. Fortunately my LOQ is back and I can create again. I mean - I was creating all the time, but not art. I was sketching maps :3 But anyway, here's part 2 of the collection of portraits I painted for different D&D charcaters #dnd #portrait #art

I'm taking a small hiatus, hopefully ~1 week. My LOQ crashed mid critical BIOS & VBIOS update and never booted again. It will be sent for a warranty on Monday. Hopefully this is just a corrupted BIOS. All commissions delivery times should be safe! If this extends in any way, I'll be updating you all

A book I worked for as Illustrator, the City of Sirens, is live on Kickstarter! I'm super excited about the project, I painted quite a few arts for it already. Here is the splash art for the Onogokkoi species (shapeshiffing sirens) I was given a ref link as well: www.kickstarter.com/projects/qui...

In July I'll be running a new D&D campaign! I gathered an incredible team of people that will be playing Gaol and using the mechanis I wrote. This elf based on Rosy Maple Moth comes from the player's backstory. He is called The Collector (as elves prefer titles than names) #dnd #elf #sketch

Here's another image I'll be rendering soon! It's a demon creature I painted earlier this year. His creator decided to come back for a second picture and I'm very grateful! . To paint the image in the background I used a free royalty free photo from pexels as a reference

Here's a collection of potrtraits! Three of them were painted for a D&D group, one was painted as a gift to one of my players for an upcoming campaign <3 #dnd #portrait #fantasy

Two sketches I made as a part of an illustration for a client This will show a dragonborn and dragon corrupted by mindflayers :D so trust me, I'm SUPER EXCITED #dnd #sketch #wipart

A commission I did for @ionstrider.bsky.social It's a very big, buff Satyr person!

This is a remake of one of my bug elf species. I really wanted to make a tick. Weeshees were one of the concepts I had at the begining, not the best fitting. And so, I made Weeshee into a flower tick who catches to the head of a humanoid. Wouldn't you like to keep one? ;3 #sketch #art #dndart

Sketching some ticks during a con in Warsaw 🪲

Hours before departing to con, I'm trying to relax. And the best way is to sketch. I'm drawing a bug elf called a Weeshee. Weeshees are not based on a particular bug, but rather on a biological phenomenon of mimicry. I mean pouyannian mimicry to be exact, especially noticed in orchids! #sketch #art

Here it is! It took more than one try, but I finally have put my dragonflies together in a way that most look like dancing <3 I sent them to the printroom immediately and I GOT THEM. They are printed! ko-fi.com/spikulec

Here's a new elf I'm making for an upcoming convention. It shows a Gancanagh, a dragonfly elf based on an Irish fairy! I can't wait to show you the full print

Here's urban-themed illustration of a very cool monster. I painted it for an amazing artist, veellzy! This character here is named Ny’rath #illustration #monster #art #creatureart

Some portraits for the last draconid character I painted Her horns barely fit on a canvas :V #dragon #dragonborn #digitalart #dnd

I am re-painting some old bug designs so they fit better in the DnD book I’m making! This is a Gancanagh, a dragonfly elf I designed December 2024, when I was just starting exploring the bug elves as an idea. That concept art was rough. So I decided to update its quality :3 #dnd #sketch #conceptart

Here's a draconid for my D&D settings. Draconids are human beings fused with the dragon parasitic larva, creating the hulking monster that later has potential to grow into a full dragon. This one here is named Sotira and I love her very much <3

Six sketches for a D&D team that came to me to portray their characters! I will be rendering them very soon #dnd #dndart #sketch

I'm expanding already existing bug elves collection, so I can make even more prints. This one is Arleen, the Atlas Moth Fara. Arleen will be an important character in both the campaign I plan to start in summer, and the book I'm writing. Hope you like him! The prints are here: ko-fi.com/spikulec

Owls ✨ I used to draw birds all the time as a kid so they’re still smth very familiar to me. I just really loved them. My favourite are the toasted barn owls 💕 #art #owls #animalart #wildlifeart #digitalart

This buddy here was painted for the City of Sirens 5e book that is coming to Kickstarter soon. The monster's name is the Corrupted Guardian. I couldn't stop myself from rendering ALL the mushrooms. I've heard corrupted? Say no more, let's do some creepy fungi #dndart #dnd #mecha #fungi

I have to share my dragon series! Very proud of these creatures 🙏 @oppyvett.bsky.social @spikulec.bsky.social

This is an illustration I made for a client! This is Ames, dragonborn wizard and a wisteria dragon familiar! It was very fun to illustrate this image, and I'm so happy I got such a fantastic duo to illustrate! I hope you will like them both <3 #dnd #dndart #dragon

art trade with @horrorscopes.bsky.social ! <3

If you ever task me with drawing something hot, you have 50% chance I'm going to paint you a bug, and 50% of chance it's going to be a chonky muscly wood monster Throw in some occasional troll or draconic creature and you have my whole aesthetic. I have nothing to say in my defence ;_;

Here's a second illustration I made for City of Sirens 5e adventure that's coming to Kickstarter soon! This is one of the monsters you can encounter in the titular city, and it's called The Scourge. The main idea was basically what if Fallout Deathclaw but more... fish This is my response :3 #dnd
