Hello everyone, I feel I ought to clarify that all my watermarks are designed and drawn by myself, without using any pre-made assets. These are designs provided to my employer as part of the commissioned work, so please refrain from copying or tracing them without permission.

I'm so happy to post the creature concept I made for Chacha's independent project in 2025 🐟🐟🐟 We spent great amount time discussing how to present this creature, working on materials , movements and visual effects, but thankfully we ended up with a wonderful result!

This year's final major illustration concludes with my own IP, marking a thoroughly satisfying learning experience. I've tried architecture and experimented, spent lots of effort to design the Moon Horse. Merry Christmas, everyone.🎄 #illustration #horse #creaturedesign

Fabulous work! This one is a purely human artist, it would be nice if some of the people who speak irresponsibly could bring their brains with them.

"Onyx" The black dragon Onyx guarding her treasure hoard in the ruins of Xak Tsaroth. Painted in acrylics for the D&D 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide!
A black dragon perched atop a treasure hoard in a damp cave. In the background we see waterfalls pouring down onto the treasure piles, moss covers the stone ruins that hint at long gone civilization. The dragon has a pale face that makes it look skeletal, while her body is covered in black spiky plates, and her back ridged with tall spines. She has an almost serpentine look with a slender body and an enormously long tail curling back around to her front.

A stylized Pegasus, drawn with gel pens and ink. I think I was testing how the style would look with a limited color palette. Or I just ran out of red pens.
Drawing of a very stylized Pegasus. He is in a rearing pose, wings folded. The main colors are black and gold. It's a traditional piece drawn with gel pens and ink.

through the power of RJ Palmer I got a 'few' new followers! I sketch a -lot- compared to pretty finished illustrations, tons of speculative ideas and studies. Atm my brainspewing has a lot of Dragon's Dogma 2 in it, gryphons, 3D wips, and long noodles called Archs among other headworld things.

Including the tumblr-adjusted version here as a bsky experiment. #art #OC #Tetra #Griffin
Part of Griffin's reference sheet, showing his two main adult forms. There is Zivatar - a smaller raven-like gryphon -, and Pegasus next to them, for size comparison. The text in the top left corner reads: "Immortal shapeshifter, multiple default forms, corporeal only when he's focusing on it. Goes back to the aether when consciousness is lost."Part of Griffin's reference sheet. Shows his human form wearing his typical clothes. Next to him stands Phoenix in a very colorful vest. Top right text box reads: "Typical wardrobe - basic sparring gear & high-end bespoke suit. Will fight and roll in the mud wearing the suit to make bystanders wince." Bottom left illustrations showcase a colored illustration of him in sparring gear, a bust of him suited up, and three simpler expression examples. "Eye color is brown" is written in white over the bust. The bottom right text box describes Griffin's personality: "Outgoing, jovial. Has two modes with nothing in-between: maximal catnap & rascally zoomies. Very hard to anger or scare, not vengeful. Not a daydreamer. Doesn’t avoid conflict, to put it mildly. Serial clown. Can be insensitive, inconsiderate, obstinate, willfully obtuse. Enjoys playfighting, duels to the death where he is at a disadvantage, napping in the sun, being with family. Lacking competition gives him the blues. Losing excites him more than winning."Part of Griffin's reference sheet. The text in the middle reads "The design of the mane is pretty loose, and the covert feather patterns are random or monochrome." The illustrations showcase a variety of his forms and designs in motion. The two on the left feature Pegasus as well.Part of Griffin's reference sheet. Three simple portrait sketches are in the top left corner. Under them four 3D models showing his head. The text in the middle reads "Mouth interior and neck 
anatomy are avian. Eye anatomy & motion are feline. No tailfeathers. Corners of mouth are a loose mix of feline and avian. Top half of ears is just feathers. The eyebrow “horns” are similar but more bony." On the right side, three illustrations show him in motion. The bottom paragraphs are flavoring text describing what he's like in the context of his world, Tetra: "Griffin is a highly active, well-known spirit - typically thought of as the spirit of resilience. People may also associate him with metal, industry, and combat. Currently, he tends to hang out on the palace grounds of his 8th human companion, the emperor of Kark. There he basically LARPs as a palace pet for his own entertainment. His 1 single custom human form is a faithful copy of his first human companion. It’s a memento. The green hair bow is a memento too that he may also wear on his tail. He’s been in an open relationship with the spirit Phoenix for ~150 years. She is allowed to take Griffin’s adult female form. He uses that form too but less often."

"Bookfishing" - personal work from 2020
Painting of an outdoor scene. Pegasus is the main focus. He is lifting a soggy book out of a little brook/lake. Behind, there is a treeline and a small house. In front of it, there are two people in uniform holding books, one lady, and a kid playing with a dog. There are books scattered everywhere, even on the trees and the rooftop.
