What if one day you were magically teleported into a world without conflict? Would you embrace the abstract beauty of peace and stay a while? Or would you go back into the familiar jaws of conflict? Yeah. We're deep like that at @krasskollektiv.com #Sketch #Abstract #ConceptArt #GameArt

I used to have less "classic" #CreatureArt in my portfolio. So I spent a bit of time on those. If you're struggling, here's my process for this piece for @krasskollektiv.com: www.artstation.com/blogs/christ... #IndieGames #IndieDevs #StylizedArt

The Settlers III #ConceptArt Been wishing for a remake of the game for ages. I'd love to see a cute, exaggerated style - something almost Asterix-like. I focused on creating a first building, The Woodcutter’s Hut. But I’d definitely love to create more buildings. @krasskollektiv.com #GameArt

Stylized medieval hut. Pencil-like drawing.
Bright colors and playful line art, similar to Asterix and Obelix.
Hints of a woodcutter living here, like wood log piles and an axe stuck in a chopped tree trunk.

WHITE TITAN #ConceptArt - The Snowowl Wardens We're developing our own IP at @krasskollektiv.com. The central element shaping our world is a titan owl. We explored how even simple objects, like crates or thrones, could look. The project is in development. Keep an eye out. #IndieGame #BoardGame

6 variants. Predominantly grey stone with golden accents.
Distinct visual elements that look like owl faces.
All versions are emanating a green aura.

Did someone say #DOOM The Dark Ages? I'll be toying with demonic creatures for a bit. First one up is a brute archetype. I wanted to make two things clear with him: 1. He's heavy. 2. He packs a punch. I did a full breakdown of the process. You can read it here: www.artstation.com/blogs/christ...

This piece marks a milestone for my #CharacterArt and #CreatureArt. I focused more on shapes, expression, and "character". I checked how other artists approach elements like linework, material thickness, and how much I can push proportions. It's also #ConceptArt for our IP at @krasskollektiv.com 🦉

Stylized goblin character exploration focused on strong silhouettes, expressive linework, and clearer shape language.

The character is tall and has some blisters on its skin, which is dirty green.
It has chains wrapped around its arms.
It's ringing a bell to lure humans.
It has a giant cage on its back where it captures and locks the humans.
You can see torture tools on its belt and the keys to the cage around its neck.
It wears simple dark wrappings around its arms and legs, as well as a dark and tattered skirt.

I was heavily inspired by @oliverryan.bsky.social Started with a sketch of an underworld ghostly figure. And ended with something reminiscent of Charon, the Ferryman. I wanted to create strong shapes & clear contrasts, while maintaining a mystical atmosphere. #DigitalPainting @krasskollektiv.com
