- Seeing Red - The painting started out with a lot of pose problems, and I had to change a lot throughout the way. However, I like how it turned out in the end. #art #artwork #painting #gouache #fantasy #fantasyart #elf #tiefling #illustration #traditionalart #horrorart #skull #darkart #gothicart

- Oblivion - Higgs Monaghan from Death Stranding. I really tried to push my limits as an artist to see where I am at. And don’t worry, he’s just chilling with his animal friends. #deathstranding #deathstranding2 #ds2 #higgsmonaghan #art #artwork #paintng #traditionalart #fanart #gouache #higgs

- Higgs Monaghan - I needed some references for the mask, gloves and knife for an artwork I was working on. I also drew a little thumbnail as a plan. The knife design was drawn from the art book. #deathstranding #deathstranding2 #higgsmonaghan #ds2 #deathstrandingfanart #art #drawing #artwork
