Artists, show what built your style! Alan Lee, Angus McBride, Gustave Dore and Hayao Miyazaki are the big four for sure. More comments in the alt text.

Oh man, John Blanche has passed away. What a legend. RIP.

Working on some stuff I can't show yet, so in lieu of that here are some ethereal black metal vibes from my time inside a cloud yesterday

"The Archlich" For Jetpack7's 'Legendary Undead' I always wanted to paint a proper lich. I think I did liches justice with this one.

Old Stone, New Stone, Copper, Bronze, Bronze Collapse, Iron

QRP something with horns!

Life is just a journey to a destination where you're a gross skeleton in a dirt hole, so don't forget that. Just remember that it all leads to gross skeleton dirt hole times. So just think about that more often.

Today’s filmmakers are COWARDS who don’t know the value of a wet monster puppet

Red Sonja wrecking some dudes' days

🧑‍🎨 I've been having a blast making art for my new zine, and this is my favorite piece yet! It's the "dragon" of the dungeon... ULDRUUN THE GREAT BLACK HERON: This immense black bird moves and coils like a serpent on crooked, stilt legs, buzzing gutturally through its lance of a beak.

Here's some art! This is Shadowdark module cover for Doomed Zone.

Just had to complete a captcha that was all AI images. This is a level of irony I find it difficult to describe

Paint church frescoes until my Jewishness was discovered and then hopefully flee to Al-Andalus and party it up

A railroad spike from Auschwitz, given to me by a friend of my in-laws because he'd stolen it when he visited in college, felt bad and tried to return it, but they didn't want it back. He gave it to me because as the only jew he knew he thought I had the right to decide what was done with it. (1/2)

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

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!
