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

I got a gift! It's a book published by Morningtide Studios - Satzija's Tome of Hags! It's an incredibly beautiful D&D 5e Kickstarter book and I'm honoured that it features my paintings too 😭🧡 It's the first TTRPG book with my illustrations that I have and words can't express the feelings

Here's something I'm super excited about! This is a book cover design for a TTRPG book! It's my first cover ever, and it means so much that I got to do it. The book is called the City of Sirens and it's a Kickstarter adventure for #dnd 5e developed by Quill's Tiny Quests studio!

I turned my bug elves into prints! So if you would like to have a bug elf in your room, here's my kofi! I have them in two sizes, almost-A4 and almost-A3 :3 ko-fi.com/spikulec

Hi hi! I have some finished sketch art for you, and it's a comm I painted for a client last week. This is Miskaria, a sylvari from Guild Wars 2 game. Hope you like her! #guildwars2 #sketch #fantasy

The phoenix’s library entrance is only available through water. Isn’t that convenient? #TTRPG #encountermap #battlemap #DnDart #VTTassets #tabletop

Today I painted a concept art of a Karkana (centipede centaurs for my D&D setting) based on a Mint Legged Centipede/Scolopendra. I'm also adding a second Karkana I painted. Their name is Saldek. I don't have the name for the first Karkana :< Maybe you have ideas? #conceptart #characterdesign #dnd

Sketch for a client Purple crystal dragonborn hugging a small wisteria draconic familiar there's a lot of purple in this one <3

Commission halfway done It's a Sylvari from Guild Wars 2, a rare guest on this profile Very fun theme to paint nevertheless <3

In progress sketch of a draconid lady. Because dragons are weird in my setting and I want to illustrate them Painting this image is saving my mental health right now #sketch #wipart #sketchart #dragon #dragonborn #art

commission for @nweress.bsky.social ! and i had so much FUN WITH THIS GUY. an insectoid angel based around constellations and the sky ⭐ vgen.co/deltahexagon 🍵 ko-fi.com/hexagoner

Today I bring you an artwork I painted for a client. This creature's name is Alithea and they are a fungi/mushroom monster made from dragonborn body parts, random bones and all the good stuff. I like it very much, this is my comfort creature, and I want to hug it <3 #dnd #horrorart #dndart #horror

Big worm! Karkana species for my D&D 5e setting book I work on If you play this one, you can drive your friends on your back #sketch #wipart #sketching #sketchbook #fantasyart #dndart #dnd #centipede

Last concept art of the mosquito. Each one has a "tail", an external stomach, that fills up after they feast. They stay happy for as long as the stomach is full, and then then need to hunt for another victim. They are a odd version of vampires, basically. And yes. They do sparkle. HOAHO-

I started rendering the buddy from the bottom up, because his "dress" is such a big part of the design. And I am VERY aware that if I started from mushrooms I would overfocus on that and ignore dress So I'll treat myself with the fungi tomorrow :3 #wipart #wip #sketch #sketching #art #horrorart

Next sketch for next client! It's another mushroom creature and I'm SO EXCITED. Somehow I get to do a lot of fungi recently and that's a great joy for me! Anyway, it's a cool, creepy, undead monster, dark fantasy themed! #wipart #sketch #sketching #fantasy #fantasyart #conceptart

Today I bring you the new bug elf! My spellchecker keeps correcting bug elves to butt elves. So here we are. It is what it is. And what it is, is a Mosquito Elf. They are called the Abhartach, they seduce & eat creative people so they can be creative #sketch #conceptart #dnd #elf #ocart #dndart

This a character design/concept art illustration for @wulfesheafod.bsky.social This unique character is named Niss, they are a crystal lich basically! We did a lot of fun sketches/exploration before setting on the shape, colours and the textures. I added some in-progress so you can see for yourself

Every day I find another artist who draws awesome bugs IS THE BEST DAY EVER

Mosquito Bug Elves, the Vampires of Gaol, also known as the Abhartach, can be very persuasive They only experience happiness and creativity when full, so they spend all nights hunting people they find especially appealing Also that thing behind her is a stomach #sketch #wipart #conceptart #dndart

Mid render of a character for a client! Upper part is done This time I was asked to do a very specific texture this creature's body is made from, so all the effort goes into lights and material rendering! It's very fun to do the body and all, but my brain wants CAPE #sketch #wipart

A sketch of a new bug elf I'm painting! This one is a mosquito elf and it was inspired by Sabethes Cyaneus mosquito! I recently made an art giveaway on instagram and I got a lot of fun ideas for new bug elves, this one included <3 #sketch #wipart #sketching #sketchbook

Job for today - painting a big moldy robot! The client told me to do a corrupted mech, and my brain went "daddy long legs + mushroom" I'm recently in full fungi mode, I need to paint that fungal tieflings I've been thinking for some time now #wipart #sketch

This is a character design + illustration I painted for a client on Instagram. The task was to conceptualize an Eye God, part of the client's Dungeons and Dragons setting. We decided to went full eldritch and weird, and here's the result!I hope you will like it #horrorart #illustration #art

Part 2 of the Luna Moth Bugelf. I drew a different pose, showing wings/fungus infection from the side. I also added the uncorrupted version! I think I'll do the blue one for the prints. The clean one is not catching my eye. What do you think? :3 #fantasyart #conceptart #dndart #ocart #dnd #sketch

I've been asked a lot to do a Luna Moth bugelf :3 In story moon is a symbol of the Empire, so this elf is corrupted by the imperial plant/fungi called the Glass. Glass grows in living creatures brains, giving them laurel wreaths-like crowns. In elves it goes extra and explodes into full fungus

Eye buddy render, part 2 More painting is done, it's almost-almost ready <3 #wipart #sketch

Mid render of another eldritch god (somehow I am painting two at once) #horrorart #fantasyart #illustration #fantasy #wipart #sketchart

Some shape language exploration sketches for client's commission! This time the task is to do another eldritch horror, one of my fav subjects :3 #conceptart #sketch #horrorart #wipart

A quick character portrait for an anonymous client! This is a + character design of Dream Eater, monster that (you guessed it) feasts on dreams, and gets born from the darkest nightmares. It's partially based on a Baku Yokai #yokai #sketch #creaturedesign #art #sketchbook

This is Thistle, a gnome cleric The goal here was to do a whole page of sketches and artworks, similar to an old timey journal. I used my new watercolor brush to paint the lights, to give it even more traditional art vibes! #dnd #dndart #fantasyart #fantasy #cosyart #watercolor

Today brainrot is me designing prostheses for my D&D setting's Empire based on the roman columns Because why the heck not #conceptart #sketch #visdev #dnd #dndart

Being an artist is sometimes funny - Get Mealybugs on your orchids - Loose several battles with them - Paint a design based on a Mealybug from frustration - Get actual advice from people who have dealt with those buggers and won? I love this

A quick sketch of a bug elf This one is based on a Mealybug & fungus infection, because I'm currently fighting those on my plants and they are NOT FUN
