October 1, the ghosts are coming out now 👻 #art #fanart #animalcrossing #どうぶつの森
A fan art illustration for Animal Crossing. A character wearing a tall hat lies slumped on the ground, one hand gripping a weed. Various weeds surround her, and a spirit-like wisp hangs above her head. In the back, hiding behind a tree, a ghost-like being watches her in concern

Here is some more stuff. I love drawing creatures. #portfolioday
Creature digital sketch. Dragon/drake(?) type. It sits atop a cliff's edge. no eyes, spiky, with insect wings and at ail that ends in a scorpion-like tip.
Digital creature concept art.  A mixture of chameleon and cephalopod. The image has a rendered depiction of the creature on the top half, a breakdown of references with 2 sketches of the creature's behavior, and 2 optional head designs on the bottom half. 
Digital drawing of a mermaid. The head is inspired by a barreleye fish, a nd the lower portion is composed of many tentacles. 
Robot version of Baroth from Monster Hunter. Fan art.

A quick video(gasp!) of my messy process for this fan art. I do approach the art I do on my tiny iPad like a sketchbook. Looking forward to trying out Metroid Ravenous.

Here's a new bugelf I painted. His name is the Necromancer and he's based on a death's-head hawkmoth. All bug elves are painted for my upcoming D&D 5e book called the Feylights of Gaol, and they are playable species #art #dnd #characterdesign

This feathered serpent is a potential boss-fight creature design for my ongoing Mesoamerican-fantasy project. Perhaps I'll draw a "corrupted" form in the future.

Creature concept art. a Techichi demon dog with a large belly reminiscent of the chihuahua dog. the sides of his belly, mouth, feet, tail, head, and lines across his body that mimic ribs glow with fire

Below the drawing are 3 optional fire colors (blue, green, redish)

Below that are 3 drawings showing its in-game implementation. First a clay sculpture of the dog that breaks to reveal the monster; then its attack is the dog monster spewing fire/magma.

I was wondering where all the new followers came from, but apparently most are from the Hire Human Artists list, which is of course a great filter (both ways) and something I'm happy to participate in. Anyway, here's some art to keep things alive over here 🌱
A ghostly white head with long hair and a circlet is trapped in a glass jar with a metal, spiky lid tied with chains. The head is screaming with its mouth open wide, while a purple ooze flows from it. The jar is on top of an altar of sorts with runic inscriptions on the steps leading to it. Behind it, a huge, dark creature with long extremities looms over the scene, with its hands surrounding the jar.Inside a rocky, collapsing cave, a party of three adventurers are facing a massive creature with countless tentacles and a huge mouth with teeth showing. The first adventurer is aiming and arrow towards the creature, their bow ready to shoot; another one, to the right, is leaping forward wielding two daggers; the third one, in the middle of the scene, was caught by one of the tentacles and is being held upside down.A spiraling white & red composition of a mixture of rock and organic materials, with some sort of face in the middle, framed by the pit it lies in. The land's surface is scarred, dry and wrinkled, and the face looks as though it's twisting and sunken among a mass of fleshy strands. A small -in comparison- character approaches the pit from the bottom left corner.The focus of the illustration is massive cocoon-like formation made of gnarled branching shapes with a warm, eye-shaped light in the centre. In the foreground, a thick “branch” where a character is standing goes towards the background. The atmosphere is mostly blue and hazy, with some warm light particles floating around.
