The last bit of flesh sloughed off the creature along with anything that remained of its humanity. Any semblance of what used to be Pvt. Schumacher was gone. #xenovember #xenomorph #colonialmarines #art #creaturedesign #conceptart #alien

Although banned by Weyland-Yuntani, Robert Morse's account of the events that occurred on Fiorina 616, entitled "The Space Beast", spread through the colonies of the Middle Heavens. #xenovember #xenomorph #alien #creaturedesign #conceptart

Strange comets in the sky ✔️ Hell is full ✔️ Viral infections ✔️ Radiation leaks ✔️ Zombies. Lawd, they comin'! #zombieskulltober #spooktober #sketchtober #conceptart #creaturedesign

ABSOLUTE SLIMER!!!!! Abs Slimer loves his Peeber Venkman. Too bad he desolved Peter with his agonizingly acidic ectoplasm... and then ate him... and then excreted him... and ate him again. #zombieskulltober #sketchtober #ghostbusters #creaturedesign #art #spooktober

"Deep in the crypt The treasure you'll find But beware undead Jon. He'll be less than kind." What a munch of balarky - I mean, what a bunch of malarky. There's no treasure down here and there certainly no Jon. #zombieskulltober #sketchtober #gummibears #zummigummi #spooktober #disney #fantasyart

Had to make a quick sign for my wife’s garage sale this morning. This counts right? #inktober #unclecreepy #ghosts #vintageglass #art #sharpie

Zombay! I kicked this off with a speed sculpt in Blender and finished it off in Photoshop. #zombieskulltober #sketchtober #conceptart #creaturedesign #art #b3d #blender

Perhaps my greatest work?

My character, Khoja, from a Numenara adventure run by the brilliant @johnbooth.bsky.social I think he looks way cooler now that his eyeball got ripped out and eaten by a telepathic, pipe dwelling creature in a sky pyramid. Just another day in the Ninth World. #ttrpg #numenara #montecook

my new answer to any question re: why i made something a certain way in one of my games that you don't like

THE must have toy this year on Geidi Prime. Baby So Harkonnen!™. Can you figure out its machinations of betrayal and subterfuge before it’s too late? Also cries and wets its hover chair. #dune Thrift find from my wife @clevergretchen.bsky.social

Did some Spidey sketchin' over the weekend. #spiderman #sketch

In today's newsletter, OUR UNIVERSE: Part One...the story of a coffee table astronomy book that sold 2.5 million copies. This week features my visual speculation on what alien life might look like on other planets. 1/2 theartofmichaelwhelan.substack.com/p/national-g...

🚬 🗡️❤️ Happy Valentines from Noemi, Catalina, Virgil and Francis in the Doyle library from ‘Mexican Gothic’ written by @silviamg.bsky.social It’s an honor to be asked by Silvia to explore how her complex characters would look in a Red Nose Studio world.

Warmup sketch from the other day.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally: I live somewhere between these two.

Simple art tip but, you don't even need a brush to do an even round tube. Just have a sketch layer using an even width brush with different colors for different depths. Then line it normally and the tube will feel nice and neat.

This tracks. #spotifywrapped

This CD player was my birthday present in 1997 along with the incomparable Fresh Hits 1997. I found it recently and COULD NOT BELIEVE how rich the sound was, after years of streaming Spotify on my phone. My column today is about this phenomenon, which I’m calling “qualitynesia” on.ft.com/3ZlwHf5

I always liked this piece. It's from a project we had rolling for a while at Bioware called Shadow Realms. Ultimately it was cancelled but holy cow it was fun to play! #giantbat #dungeon #darkfantasy #bats #succubus #castle #arpg #vampire #chomp
