Working (slowly but steadily) on a big personal piece. Trying to remember how to make art that isn't "for" something.

Everyone's talking about how Del Toro's Frankenstein is about daddy issues but the main daddy issue is that Lars Mikkelsen's character looks EXACTLY like my dad to the point where I did multiple double takes to confirm it was not my actual father on screen

The mist-shrouded morning at Point Reyes National Seashore, hiking with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social, felt not just haunted or ethereal, but otherworldly. The zenith of that sensation came when a huge bull elk appeared out of the landscape as if a ghost from another land entirely.

Man I love drawing dead guys

I can finally show off probably my favorite piece I've done this year--the Halloween merch design for @moviemadness.org. Beyond stoked to do more work for the best movie rental/theater/museum/temple in the world. And those practical effects are sooo satisfying to replicate in ink

"The apparitions are getting worse. The air in the vaults feels like a thin curtain that could be ripped away at any moment. I do not know what door I opened in search of the afterlife, but I pray to all the gods it isn't the one our souls go to in the end." A quick one for the spookiest of seasons

Made a little block print. It's hard to find inspiration for personal work in these fucked up times, but a new medium always helps me. Spend time with the people, places and experiences that make life worth living, and return ready to take the heads of those who would steal those things from us.

Poster I did for Movie Madness here in Portland for their Creature Features block. One of the largest ink pieces I've ever done!

Inktober 52 - Virgo A witch. Pens and white ink. I'm open for commissions! #art #inktober #inktober2025 #inktober52 #inktober52virgo #fantasy

Some pieces I did for an adaptation of Clark Ashton Smith's Tale of Satampra Zeiros a few years ago. Not sure if they were ever used but they were super fun to draw.

Thinking about GARGANTUAN: "the queen's an essentially good person being sabotaged by her aristocratic nature--thematically it's about accepting the loss of control and the unpredictability of the future--" Describing GARGANTUAN in front of a camera: "yep. I drawed it. It has a BIG monster."

I think I have to come to terms with the fact that, unlike seemingly every other artist and writer I respect, I'm too dumb to read Gene Wolfe.

Money is tight this month, so I suppose now is a good time to mention that I have a store with some neat stuff in it. Skeleton T-shirts! Lizardman prints! A full-length sword-and-sorcery kaiju graphic novel! Anything you feel like picking up is much appreciated. lizardbrainart.bigcartel.com

My twitter is dead. I don’t wanna a burner. All I want is 27K bluski subs

Turned 32. Spent some time with @esque-arts.bsky.social and the local mountain.

"IT'S SATAN! EL DIABLO!" from a youtube video from 2012 I could never find again. It wormed its way into my brain and has never left

Our long-suffering protagonist wakes up to some new friends

More painting practice. I have been reading the Earthsea books and they are just what I need right now. Here's Ged and his boat.

Cover for the debut album from the band SALTYR. I love when the brief is basically "make it as trad heavy metal as possible"

I would pay heinous amounts of money I don't possess to have the Isle of the Dead one in my home

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Vainamoinen in the pines for @elyvilon.bsky.social . I really enjoyed this one. Tried to infuse it with some of that Scandinavian Golden Age of Illustration energy.

Painted a weird little guy. I still flounder every time I break out the paint, but this felt like I learned some things.

"He can't keep getting away with this!" He can, because you refuse to decapitate him

don’t let them in. fuck ice. fuck fascists

Behold! Cover art for our upcoming issue of Old Moon Quarterly! Hand-drawn and inked by Robin Harris of Mystic Barbarism (and Wormwitch)!

Got the Wall of Skeletons back up and thus the new studio space is complete

The great Stephen Fabian is one of those artists from the 2E era of AD&D that just doesn’t get enough credit or attention. His interior illustrations in the Ravenloft line and Tome of Magic especially stand out. Pitch perfect aesthetic… and what an amazing talent. Pure 💯.

"Show me how you draw armor" I should draw some more armor again, it's a lot of fun

In the process of setting up a new studio space so I can get back to drawing and, of course, Posting

Show me how you draw armor. Chain and scale gang here

Poster I did for the upcoming Cascadian Midsummer festival! My first foray into digital color in five years; glad I haven't gotten too rusty.

Here it is, the Bronze Age Fellowship of the Ring. You can get a print of this here - www.inprnt.com/gallery/gora... and you can support my little creative excursions here - patreon.com/gorangligovic

Come join the horde and see what over 700 ttrpg fans backed in just the first 24 hours.

Latest little pieces, two originals and two and a half takes on established characters

I've had the good fortune of drawing here a few times, and all of these top-tier artists were absolutely lovely and made me feel welcome as a fledgeling comic creator. Did wonders for my impostor syndrome. Helioscope is a treasure.

Been deep in work I can't show off yet, but here's a DnD character commission I enjoyed from a while back.

#PortfolioDay ! I'm a traditional illustrator who's worked for a number of small press fantasy publications and TTRPG projects. I recently self-published a graphic novel featuring a kaiju in a sword-and-sorcery setting.

This year's brain constantly ping-ponging between "I should brush up on my color theory and crank out some nice portfolio pieces" and "I should brush up on my pistol accuracy and be preparing to live out of a tent"

as trans day of visibility fades into night, it's time to build support for a new holiday: trans week of unfettered access to long-range rocket artillery

Threw some digital color on this sketch of some legendary sorcerers from the world of GARGANTUAN. The Thanticon irreparably changes the physical forms of those exposed. Felt good to do something straight from the imagination again. It's been hard to get the ol brain in gear lately.

My illustrations for the short story by Matt John in New Edge Sword & Sorcery #3

Couldn't resist drawing my version of Odysseus

While I'm thinking of OSR-inflected indie masterpieces, also don't delay to read @lizardbrain-art.bsky.social 's amazing Mycenean-coded Kaiju fantasy, GARGANTUAN. One of my favorite reads of the last year. A deft depiction of a flawed but worthy civilization squaring off against certain doom.

Half of the most ambitious spread I ever attempted... It will be in Savage Sword of Conan #11 from Titan. :-)

Not sure what the demographic overlap of black metal fans and frequent Blueskyers is but if you're here, you owe it to yourself to listen to Havukruunu's new album, it rips youtu.be/bLVJ5SdGCes?...
