Little sketchbook guy walking down the stairs. Drawn today after waking up.

A small black and white ink sketch of a character walking down the stairs. They hold a flashlight in their hand to find their way in the surrounding darkness, but neither the light nor the environment that emerges makes much sense. The stairs spiral up over their head and circle back down like if they behaved according to some dream logic, only forming the proper stairs under the character's feet.

To alternate covers I had a pleasure of painting for the now released Arcana Unleashed books for Wizards of the Coast :)

I've been enjoying Mini Rogue card game lately. Made a spoof Mahadi card so i can eat the enemies :)

A fan made card for a Mini Rogue game, it shows a dark skinned man wearing gold jewelry. He's grinning and his purple waistcoat bears traces of blood. His abilities are: Devour, A Perfect Copy and Old Injury.

Old Mabel, she used to run illegal fighting pits in the City, no one knows for sure what she's up to now but she's plotting. for #TheLabyrinth

Portrait of an old woman smoking a cigarette and staring at the viewer with contempt. If not the expression she could look like a normal granny, in her flowery dress and wearing her old jewellery, perhaps she even looks innocent when she smiles. Be sure not to trust her though if she does.

Level 9 portrait for my Curse of Strahd / She is the Ancient witch boy, Victoro di Terzo. With his messed up eye that got (as in: he did it himself >.>) poked out by his raven and replaced by a weird eye with three irises. All previous portraits done for respective level ups in the comment below.

Level 9.

A digital grayscale portrait of a thin pale man with a bread and gray hair. A raven that's next to him holds its beak open, and it's framing his left eye that has weird, messed up irises. The man has horns looking like a crown, and behind his are hints of more raven wings visible in the darkness.

Ron Bullet, son of John Bullet, and his dog Don Bullet. #TheLabyrinth

Portrait of a young man in a mustard gold track suit, with a very silly haircut and very serious expression. He has some bruises on his face from the street fights he's regularly getting into. He's a bit of a shitpost character as you can imagine from the names, but we got attached to him (and his dog).

Portrait of Don (like Don Corleone), the Pomeranian.

Cat update: I got a new bookshelf.

A picture of a bookshelf with some books on it and a yellow cat that takes up most of the space. He he is so comfy he rolled onto his back and fell asleep. On the foreground lies the first book of Dune series that i just started reading today.

More background characters for the Labyrinth story, two diner ladies, Susan and Jenny. Best coffee and pie in the universe and all the that regular diner stuff. I will maybe finally give these guys a tag for organizing things easier around this profile from now on. #TheLabyrinth

Digital ink portrait of a lady with curly hair, large white earrings and a smug expression. She wears vivid make up and hold glasses in her hand. A tag on her blouse reads "Susan".

Playing some more with the zine format, a little folded A4 one page zine this time, to commemorate my recent rewatch of Twin Peaks. More pictures in the comment.

A foldable one page zine. The whole unfolded A4 page shows eight panels with illustrations and text inspired the Twin Peaks tv show. The small folded zine with a cover showing black recorder on red background and the word "Diane" over it lies on top of the page.

And the final result, printed on a pretty matte paper with proper greys, and with this cute red thread binding it together. Very happy with how it turned out. The Labyrinth: Book 1. It Starts With a Fire. Personal art zine project collecting first batch of portraits made for an rp with a friend.

Characters that are so background they are barely visible on the horizon also deserve art. New faces in the works: Smiling Pete (on the left) and the ghost of shot in the head Roman (right). For The Labyrinth, a City of Mist based rp/story.

Remember these guys? :) Recently finished putting them together into a 34 pages long zine called "It Starts With a Fire", collecting a bunch of character vibes and based on a text rp done with a friend :) Test print.

The title page of the zine. It says:
The Labyrinth: Book 1
It starts With a Fire
story: ThroughTheEluvian, CoupleOfKooks
art: CoupleOfKooks
2026

Spread of pages 28 and 29 of the zine, depicting four men with very mice-like features. The double page grayscale drawing shows their photos laid out on the table next to various notes, documents and the VHS tape of Cinderella. White mice are visible running around over it all.

Revisiting some old familiar places recently. #Morrowind

A beautiful low poly Victoro in a screenshot from Morrowind. He wears a black armour and stares to the side, behind him you can see a misty landscape, a fragment of city gates and some long dead trees. It's gloom and grey.

city of vivec on a screenshot from Morrowind game. The weird architecture stretches into a distance, pyramid like structures on a horizon are half covered by morning mist, above those structures a massive piece of rock floats. The city feels empty.

A city of Vivec on a screenshot from Morrowind. the most confusing city in a game history feels empty, but there is life inside those pyramids. Perhaps it's just too early in the day to see it outside. Or perhaps they never leave these walls. Only one lonely figure dressed in black looks over this city.

A figure dressed in black watches over Deadric ruins in an ash covered landscape. A screenshot from Morrowind.

Cooking a little something with these portraits and when it will be done I can't tell, but man, doing a project just for myself (and a friend) is so regenerating. I need more me projects in my life.

In January I've made over 40 of sketch portraits for a personal project called The Labyrinth (placed in the City of Mist inspired setting) we've been writing with a friend, to catalogue all the characters that show up. Here's a selection of some favs :) (Mahadi and Vic are there too ofc :))

A set of 12 simple sketch portraits of various characters. All face the camera like for a passport photo. My biggest apologies for not writing description for each but i promise they will keep coming back and then I'll do better :)

If you see this post an eye 👁️👁️

A 2:1 scale handmade resin eyeball, with the hazel iris painted in layers. Or half of an eyeball actually, it's a magnet.

Digital painting of a prop, depicting an artificial glass eye locked in a brass rotatable device. It's a divination device used by my character Victoro.

I've turned 44 today. On this occasion please behold my beloved boy Victoro as represented in various techniques, just because he has been on my mind constantly lately, sweet fictional man, a balm to my soul <3

Digital painting of a man in black noble outfit resting among black roots. He looks like he passed recently (he didn't) or perhaps is asleep (more likely), with eyes closed and hands crossed on his chest. Bird bones, including raven's skull are thrown over him, like funeral gifts. The scene is almost greyscale in tone except for the pink accents on his face and skin. It will all be well, my dude, I promise.

ink drawing of a thin bearded man in a nobleman outfit with his hand extended. A really kickass big raven is in the process of landing on his hand, claws already touching him wrist. The drawing was made 24-25 of September 2025, as dates on the picture state.

A linocut (on the left) and a linocut print (on the right) of the same man as before, surrounded by ravens, their wings all around his head. In his hands he holds an eyeball, which is probably hard to read because i messed this one up, but i still like it so whatever :)

QRP with your flower art 💀💙

A digital painting of a skeleton resting - with its hands crossed over its chest - on the field of forget-me-nots. The flowers grow around and inside of the skeleton, in its chest, they peak through its eye sockets. It's night, probably, the air is chill, maybe some forest sounds in the distance.

Another sketchbook piece i've been meditating over in recent weeks, little Cabinet of Curiosities. Really enjoying having something like this on the side to doodle on.

a picture of a sketchbook spread done in ink and markers. The image depicts a cabinet of curiosities: shelves showing a collection of weird little things including bones, jars with eyes, skulls and tiny people, some shelves are overgrown by nature, some have faces looking through. There is also a cat sleeping on one, and a Rain World reference tucked in because I'm playing it right now :)

Victoro got a fancy new eye recently from the Night Mother, or from the hags? We don't know for sure, but it sits nicely in his eye socket already, the whole process was very bloody, very cursed and very exciting 👁️ [Curse of Strahd, She is the Ancient campaign, ink and markers on paper]
