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

Ok, I have two versions done and sent to the client! I'm so curious to see which one I'll be rendering :3 #sketch #wipart #illustrarion

I'm having a good day for painting today :3 a sketch for a private client eldritch eye god #horrorart #horror #angel #sketch #wipart

Part 2 of drawing the sea monster :3 Added some shading and volume into most elements. There are still several mistakes in limbs, but I'm going to fix that in next stages For now I'm fixated on rendering those spine blobs #sketch #wipart #creaturedesign #fantasy #fantasyart #dndart

Finally finished this comm! #commsopen #refsheet #oc #anthro #custom

Obneus and Lunete spend a looot of time traveling ~ I needed to draw them so casual 😭❤️

This is a portrait of an imperial magister, a bugbear called Oribasius He's painted for my private DnD setting, Io #dnd #dndart #fantasy #bugbear #orc #fantasyart

Rawr 2: Revenge of the Rawr New monster I got to paint! This one is named the Scourge and it is basically a mutated water siren thingie. I love it already I've just started the rendering and I'm still figuring out some the shapes and tones #fantasy #horror #dnd #art #sketch #wipart

Quick (censored) warmup sketch, with some anatomy practice on my firbolg Lumin. I got absolutely defeated by that leg. Why did I decide to paint it in such a difficult shortcut? I dunno, apparently I have no mercy for myself :V No thoughts, head empty #firbolg #anatomy #dnd

I finished the bird bone plague doctor fighter guy. That thing. He done. I had a lot of fun with him, hopefully you can tell :D #dark #fantasy #characterdesign #art #sketch #dnd

Dark Soulsy buddy is halfway done! Sorry for spamming him step by step, but I'm super excited about this character design and about this render I want my weekend so I can finish him, aaaaa

Sketch, this time with colors. I got a green light to color this dark souls like buddy, so I'm doing it right now. Oh, I'm going to be a lot of fun with his textures, there are so many cool things happening here. Also cape! Because capes are cool :3

Demon Lord time! This design was provided by a private client, and I recreated it in my style. I LOVE drawing weird scary things. Always feel free to write if you want me to draw something like this. Monsters are 200% my comfort zone! #demon #horrorart #horror #monster #creatureart #art #digitalart

A goblin portrait I painted for Big Empty Blue/Quill's Tiny Quest It seems that this winter is a goblin winter, judging by the number of goblins I get to paint ^_^ #goblin #dnd #d&d #fantasy #portrait #digitalart

A first sketch exploration for a private client. This is a version before any feedback and reviews, so it may change a lot. But I'm still pretty excited about this one, so I thought I could share <3 #sketch #fantasy #darkfantasy #characterdesign

I drew some dragon larvae. Dragons are parasites, from the moment they hatch. Adult dragons lay eggs in bodies of still water, and so, humans from dragon-infested lands avoid calm lakes as wildfire. They don't want to get infected with these (for some reason) #dragon #fantasy #art #horror #sketch

Me trying to paint the scariest subject matter in my portfolio an average human :OO

Year summary part 3/3 A lot of good things have happened this year I painted illustrations for 4 different books, made two covers and finally, after so many long months, I have found job a part-time job in gamedev. I feel like this may be a start of something incredible, and I'm super excited

Year summary part 2/3 So, what are the plans for the next year? - Hopefully I will continue to develop my career in gamedev - I plan to publish demo book with my bugelves inside - I want to start drawing comic books, even if I have 0 experience :'>

Year summary part 1/3 This year I completed 33 fullbody commissions 9 halfbody commissions 10 portrait commissions 14 bug elves All on time! Cheers to the next year of painting even more artworks :3

In-progress character sketch for a private client! I'm super excited about this one, I love painting monsters. I'll be doing full render here, some gold and flames, many awesome textures to render #sketch #wipart #sketching

Here's the second part of of my concept art showing Mara the bugelf. I wanted to sketch Mara as regal and slightly terrifying - especially in the eye department Mara is a character I created for my D&D setting And good news about the setting - we have started putting the demo book together! Yay!

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

"Would you love me if I was a worm?" I placed colors and started sketching the dragon larva piece! I tried giving them tiny little hands, but it killed the vibe of the eldritch horror, so no hands :'> But I'm super excited about shading the tentacles and the maws! I love myself some flesh texture

Designing dragons' larvae Dragons are parasitic creatures. They will used every means possible to possess more and more. At the early stage of their lives, dragons are larvae, searching for a suitable host This is an early concept for my side project. Because my bugelves need someone they can fight

This is Mara, an elf I created for my D&D setting called Gaol. I wrote several elf species, and all are based on bugs. Mara here is a black swallowtail butterfly. I really wanted to design her in such a way, that she resembles a starry night #dndart #fairy #elf #fantasy #fantasyart #ocart

This is a character design/illustration I did for a private client! Her name is Mikha the Kobold, follower of the godess of moon and nature, Eilistraee #dnd #dndart #kobold #scalie #fantasy #art

Ok, I'm done with the body rendering, now it's time for the wings (hidden on a separate layer). The butterfly reference (black swallowtail) has bright orange spots, but the orange here just doesn't sit well with me. I think for the character's sake staying monochromatic may be better :3 Let's go!

Sorry, I'm gonna spam a bit today :'') I think I have figured out her color palette, I'm gonna go blues and purples on the body, with some white details And I'm gonna make glowing spots on her skin just because

New bug elf soon! This weekend I was at a con in Warsaw, with my bugelves as prints. It was honestly an amazing experience! I was asked a few times what even are those. So, I run to explain - these are elves, for my D&D project :3
