A watercolor painting of a man, draped in an iridescent multicolored see through cloth, with massive black and white wings coming out of his back. The cloth goes over his head. He is standing in front of a orange/yellow moon. A wintery forest is in the background, snow drifting in front of him. Constellations of stars are in the darkest parts of the midnight blue of his wings.

Illustration of a nude woman with black hair, kneeling by the edge of reflective water in the forest. On the top half, billows of smoke and embers surround her, but as revealed by the reflection, she is made of flame and the smoke clouds around her are dark wolves with burning embers for eyes.

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.

concept art drawing of a feathered serpent inspired by Quetzalcoatl. The image shows a coiled-up dragon-like creature colored in red and green feathers, and adorned by a headpiece that has long red feathers coming out of the top and sides.

Below it are 3 color options, and below that a long ortho view from teh top of the serpent.

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.
