I can't stop playing Dread Delusion, so here we are.

I can't stop playing Dread Delusion, so here we are.

It is #PortfolioDay once more. I'm a traditional illustrator specializing in pen and ink. I've contributed to a number of fiction publications and TTRPG projects, and I am currently looking for more work!

Trying to remember how to doodle in my sketchbook for fun. Looked at some Moebius stuff and allowed myself a little stippling as a treat

I absolutely love his earlier stuff and draw a lot of inspiration from it, but I'm consistently blown away by how his work from the past decade or two just distills form and light down to its absolute essentials. Not a line wasted.

Art formats I have never tried before: Scapula diptych

lineages of Omios Ures. top to bottom: Carverine, from the steppes of Valeron Human, from the city of Yellowdrake Bhek’Gaa, from the desert of Xumai Dweorg, from the realm of Drukdarog Gnomos, from the city of Karamouska

I've been in the second camp, and basically you've gotta think of your project timeline in years, not months. I average 20-30 pages a year working around commissions and my day job. I'm sure some people can work faster but slow and steady allows me to keep my sanity and (eventually) complete stuff.

I will not!! 🌞

Guess what lads I've got a little comic IN PRINT and IN COLOR and it looks pretty good

My favorite artists gotta stop working on so many cool games; I should be drawing but I have to go put 12 hours into Dread Delusion today

It's DUNE time once again

For no reason at all, here's a lil Dune painting I did a few years ago

Hi, I'm Béla, a trans man doing dark fantasy comics and illustration! I'm available for private and professional commissions inprnt: www.inprnt.com/gallery/scar... ko-fi/shop: ko-fi.com/scarycircus patreon: patreon.com/scarycircus

The final stretch! We need like ten more people to back and then I get a raise 👀

Three days left to back this year's issues of NESS! By doing so, you're not only going to receive a glorious trove of stories and art, you'll also be directly supporting paying a living wage to the artists and authors involved. Small press is the future, let's gooo www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

The necromancer I did for UNDER THE SHADOW OF HELFAST SPIRE, a Shadowdark module by Bob Mason. I did all the class illustrations for this one and they're all really fun takes on classic TTRPG archetypes. The kickstarter is going swimmingly, check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bob...

My highest of recommends for this game -- and a little drawing inspired by it! ❤️‍🔥 store.steampowered.com/app/2406680/... Jan's art for KROMLECH is incredibly cool and inspiring, and this team could use some eyes on the game during its early access 🙏

If I had to pick! Honorable mention to Warcraft III and every 3D Elder Scrolls, which consumed probably 10% of my teenage years

I'm not a call-your-senator guy--I think we're pretty far past that being useful--but please, if you understand the importance of these forests, use the links in the article to object to this decision. Defending these places is a cause I'd probably die for, and would definitely [redacted] for.

I've completed a comic adaptation of one of my favorite Clark Ashton Smith stories, THE ABOMINATIONS OF YONDO, which turns 100 this year! It's my first comic in full color, which was a hell of a learning experience. It's available now digitally or in print by mid-March. lizardbrainart.bigcartel.com

Turning 24 today! 🧙‍♂️ Shares of my art are very much appreciated 🌛

I'll keep this train going Summoning: @christiandegn.bsky.social @gustaffovargas.bsky.social @georgeouthwaite.bsky.social @vor-bokor.bsky.social

Hopping aboard the art train, thanks @jorgeperal.net ! Choo choo @artofcaustic.bsky.social @azuremeraki.bsky.social @zeburnay.bsky.social @mentat0209.bsky.social

After years of planning and dicking around I started the script for my next long-form graphic novel today. It will definitely still be more years before the thing sees the light of day, but at least some part of it exists in the material realm now, not just as a pile of notes and stray ideas.

Reposting now that I actually have some followers on here

Here's a little preview of my first comic in FULL COLOR which I have been working on for a little while now. It's a short one and should be out in a few weeks.

This game is gonna be sick. Also, give Jan a follow, if you like my work you'll love his!

A knight called by the deep, now an eternal guardian of the sunken city... This is from a few years ago and I don't think it ever made it on here.

⚔️24 HOURS UNTIL THE CROWDFUND LAUNCHES at 8am EST, Feb 12th🧙‍♂️ 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b... 👈 This is the other side of the double-sided poster every backer will receive! Thanks again to @emmastonephoto.bsky.social, and to @lizardbrain-art.bsky.social for bringing his friend to the party!

My loot drop: 1) 12oz latte 2) Miscellaneous doom metal t-shirt 3) Cool branch with lichen I found 4)Silver sword necklace, worth 10gp 5) 1 knife/sword/axe/bow/gun widely used between 500CE-1985 6) sketchbook, 80% blank

I don't talk about current events on here much because a) I am frankly not much of a Poster at the best of times and b) most of my current takes boil down to "everyone currently dictating the direction of our civilization needs to be [REDACTED] in the [REDACTED] without delay"

Quote with your horn art!

Everybody follow this man

Comics people! Who's your favorite colorist and why? I'm trying to study up so I'm not stuck in monochrome forever.

In the past year I've taken several months of longsword fighting, begun learning to blacksmith, and completed one of the hardest hikes in the state. Now I just have to build a moonshine still for "potions", get back into archery and evade arrest a few times and I'll be a well-rounded RPG character

This book exposed my little six-year-old brain to the concept of cosmic horror for the first time. Moomin always has this strange balance of cozy and sinister and I love it for that

Done. How much chaos can I cram into a painting? All of it. First image created at @helioscopepdx.bsky.social "The Encounter", 12"x18" acrylic on panel. #elricofmelnibone #AdventureAtSea #redsonja #octopus #tallships #helioscopepdx

Art vs artist 2025 edition. A year of creatures of all types and trying to remember how color works. We survived another one, y'all.

🐴Jirel of Joiry rides again...if these dang skeletons will let her! @mollytanzer.bsky.social brings us a new official tale with no less than four illustrations by @lizardbrain-art.bsky.social💀 Check it out, and more, in issue 5 of New Edge Sword & Sorcery: newedgeswordandsorcery.com/product-cate...

Sketch vs Final

The new Deathstalker movie is so much fun, y'all. It's like Psycho Goreman for sword and sorcery fans. Go watch it ASAP

ADORATION OF THE METEOR This one is straight from the dome. Felt very good to do a finished piece that wasn't a commission and wasn't for some personal comic or worldbuilding project, but just pure weird stuff from my brain. It's been a long time.

Goran is a goddamn treasure and getting suspended for trying to help people is unconscionable. Bring him back!

More is coming! Still a few years off yet, but I have some things cooking up in the ol' bronze cauldron

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
