Some Armand studies, first one was drawn from memory. Second is from a reference, purely focusing on the realism and copying what I see. The third is from another reference but attempting a bit more stylization. #IWTV #ArmandTheVampire #AssadZaman #Armand #VampireChronicles

Why won't you fit? Very quick drawing, traditional pencil linework + Procreate painting + Photoshop for the gold lines and other elements. Sketches in the background are anatomical sketches by DaVinci. #Drawing #DigitalArt #Portraits #SelfPortrait #Anatomy

My little dnd satyr character got a glow up when his iron collar was removed and his forced servitude was ended. Two pics for comparison. I'm excited to see who he becomes now that he is his own person. #satyr #dnd #oc #OriginalCharacter #Serafas #MyOC

A moody digital sketch of a beautiful Indian man tenderly embracing a black horse. They seem relieved but sad, as though having just survived a shared tragedy. They seek comfort in each other's silent presence.
