My #artvsartist The year didn't quite go as planned. Having been laid off from VFX as the company went under I took it as a sign to fully focus in art and illustration. No luck getting commissions or job yet but been having good feedback nonetheless. Hoping for more success in 2026!

2025 was a year where I wanted to do more full illustrations, did not draw everything I had planned. But hopefully I make the time in 2026. #art #illustration #drawing

I painted and drew so much more again this year. It was good, even if not everything I wanted to finish has been finished. I had so much fun and I have many more ideas. On to a new year of more art!

Fae taking shelter from the rain! Last painting this year :P Happy new year everyone!

quote some #pinup #art 🖤

So uuh, how does someone get on those lists that some seem to be on? 👀

"The Quiet Messenger" - I drew that with a graphite pencil as a gift for somebody. 🦉✨ #drawing #art #graphitedrawing #owl #barnowl

Wow I just noticed I got a lot of new followers. Not sure what triggered it, but thank you! Welcome everyone! 😊 To give your eyes a nice treat, here's my favorite painting I did of this year. 🧙‍♂️

No better time to repost tgis #strangerthings

Happy Christmas all ! Full disclosure, the reindeer was drawn referencing a plush I have. It's cute, so why not. Anyway, even if you don't celebrate Christmas I hope you are having a great day. #art #reindeer #christmas #present #cute

Art vs Artist 2025! I'm so happy I pivoted into textile art in the past year! Curious to see what next year has in store for me 👀

For better or (mostly) for worse, 2025 is almost over. For all the human creatives out there, artists, writers, musicians, dancers, choreographers, and so many more, thank you for your perseverance and courage. Happy to announce: ETCH (Ethnical Technology and Computing for Humanity), a nonprofit.

Wanted to paint something soft and calm for today. Happy holidays! Hope your holidays are calm and filled with rest <3

One of the earliest vgm albums I sang on! Don't miss it!

What's on yo mind #comic #webcomic #horror #ocsky #MurkyDeeds

Let's finish 2025 with a release ! "Whispers from a Verdant Grove" is a 6 arrangements EP from #SecretofMana, originally composed by Hiroki Kikuta. It is available on all major streaming platforms: fanlink.tv/VerdantGrove We wish you all happy end of the year celebrations ! See you in 2026 ! #VGM

Painted a portrait of my Final Fantasy 14 character :) Haven't been playing much though, haha. Would love to paint others characters as well. There's some cool designs in this game!

I made the album art for this! (also couple of tracks too 👀🎶)

Another semi-daily warm up study. This was tough for some reason! Trying to simplify more and more, keep brush strokes minimal and expressiveness / painterly-ness high. How do you guys like this? Ref from @trueref.bsky.social <3 Timelapse in comments :)

It's backup day! 📂🎉 Back up your art, your writing... everything! Repost to remind a friend!

A page from a storybook that's probably totally appropriate for children #comic #webcomic #horror #ocsky #MurkyDeeds

Pic 1 - the very first concept I sent @kortizart.bsky.social for the cover to my novel Blood Hunt. Pic 2 - the final cover. Trust me: your artists WILL figure out what you're looking for w/o you using GenAI to show them.

I think I was 22ish when I made these? Thank you so much Christopher for the shout out and for giving baby me a chance back then 🥺 Also extremely important message here, so please listen to Christopher! Trust and hire artists! You will find the right person while helping their artistic journey!

2025 is definitely the year where this statement has started to change, where I look at my art and think “you know what? This is cool”. What can I say, baby steps! I have no idea if any of these pieces will bring me closer to any of my goals, I guess 2026 will give me an answer. #tarotart

I owe it to myself to make an art wrap up of this year, with a selection of things I have painted. For a long time, I painted and, in the end would think “I would never hang this on a wall”. #tcgart #fantasyillustration #cardart #artistwrapup #tarotillustration #esotericart

Heyo! Throwing this out here if there's any bands/musicians looking for music videos made by me: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Pricing starting from 250€ (300$) / minute of video. Help by sharing! <3

Trying to get more on the fanart side for views 😜 Decide to paint my Dark Urge Tiefling from Baldur's Gate 3! (also maybe other people would want their BG3 characters painted? <3)

Was flipping through my references and stumbled upon this pose and it immediately got me thinking of Frazetta's work. So spent the past couple of days painting this. It's also available as a print right now if you want it on your wall! www.inprnt.com/gallery/leo_...

I was planning on announcing the first 2026 art mentorship in a couple of weeks, but vet & cremation bills hit pretty hard so I'm going to open signups now. Semester 9 begins in February - if you'd like to sign up or learn more, here's the website: masteringimaginativerealism.com

When the insight is a bit much --- I realized I never posted much about my webcomic here, gonna start posting some random pages to see if anyone's interested. Read it here! www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/mu... #comic #webcomic #horror #ocsky #MurkyDeeds

Much needed updates. 1. Hemlock was presented at CCS in Oct. We are working on releasing a usable tool in coming weeks. 2. Our next paper is peer-reviewed & accepted by USENIX Security 2026. It is a Model Provenance tool that computes "feature fingerprints" from genAI image models.

Trying to get back doing studies. I guess figuring out to improve my brushwork? Reducing amount of strokes to get across the information and style I want. Timelapse in comments :)

Today's study. Focused on form and keeping it simple in b&w. Tried to push the values from the reference a little bit more as it had quite a soft light. Ref from @trueref.bsky.social btw! This set is so badass! Timelapse in comments :)

New painting! Oils on canvas panel, 50x60cm. Reference from @bcliston.bsky.social High res and steps on my Patreon, prints on @inprnt.com links in the comment. #art #surrealism #magicalrealism #traditionalart #figurative #darkart @beautifulbizarre.net

Hide your naughty little children, Krampus comes round tonight. Wishing everyone a very merry Krampusnacht! (painting from my 2012 novel "Krampus, The Yule Lord")

Everyone's sharing wraps. Here's what I've been buying directly from artists this year instead. Slowly building back what I used to have on Spotify. Missing METAFIVE that I had to buy from iTunes store. Some of them were free but decided to give at least 1€ (approx 2500 streams on Spotify) anyway.

My new painting "Demon saint of the 66 legions of King Baal". This was tough one to paint but fun! Feel like I'm kind of finding my "style", Romanticism but not, haha. Learning to use more painterly brushes and Rebelle for final touches. More deets in my AS post: www.artstation.com/artwork/eRnwwD
