Freedom through movement A small piece for Huion's theme of the month [ #art #illustration #digital ]
A painting kept in the warm tones of a sunset. There's a character at the right side of the painting, standing still with their long hair flowing in the imaginary wind to the left side. On the left, there are small sketches of a woman going through the motions, up and down, right to left, dancing her soul away, whirling and twirling.

Taken a liking to #clay Figurine based on an artwork I did a few months ago for my project Ancient idolatry found in the hidden depths of old ruins. Presumably, depicting the Moon Goddess from those times. [ #oc #sculpture #fantasy ]
Clay sculpture of a Moon Goddess sitting on a throne. She has what appears to be horns with a big, rounded crown on her head. A soft face shape and spiral accessories on her shoulders.Clay sculpture of a Moon Goddess sitting on a throne. She has what appears to be horns with a big, rounded crown on her head.

FINALLY! Concept art for my character Koba~ I went with a more simplistic outfit, but added some texture variations to make it a bit more interesting,since when it comes to Koba's personality, I know he wouldn't wear anything too detailed. He treats his weapon differently, though [ #oc ]
5 small sketchy outfit and weapon variations with one more detailed and finished drawing of Koba. The outfit is the most simplistic and loose, which mirrors his personality; the only thing that's more decorative is the weapon. I added lined textures to the loose cloth under the "cape" for more visual interest while still keeping the simplicity.
One detailed shot of the weapon and three variations of the bottom of the weapon that have more motives and more decorations.

HUMAN artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you 🌙
Part of my recent art project where I drew one of the world locations, a forgotten dungeon with frescos on the walls only lit up by the torch's flames. Three detailed wall paintings are shown with more lore related to the project, the queen and her underlings, the creation of magic, ornamental details.

Sketch for #mermay <3 my favourite art challenge,,, I always try to draw something for it, gives me lot of freedom to explore and try different things [ #art #digitalart ]
A picture of a mermaid, looking at the viewer with their fully black eyes, she's in a pose doing an U shape, resting her hands on the ground. The sketch was my experimentation with colours and using different brushes for the reds and yellows going into the green of her scales and just having fun with brushes I rarely use. She has shoulder-lenght hair that's roughly cut.

Long-forgotten idol figurines from the old world,,, [ #art #oc #conceptart ]
Three small clay idol figurines of, presumably, the Moon Goddess. The one on the left is sitting on a throne. A crescent moon with a round disk is at the top of her crown. Her visage is kind as she protects and embraces the holder with strength and support. The one in the centre has her arms reached out to us, animals on both sides and a smile on her face. One of her hands broke and is now lost to time. The figurine to the right is on the longer side, standing and more complex than the others, maybe coming from a different time period. One of her hands has three fingers showing, two closed. Three faces are on the bottom of the figurine all with their mouths open in a silent scream.

One of the frescos painted on the walls depicting an unknown royal woman, eerily similar to the late Queen. She's sitting on a throne above everyone else with her hands open and welcoming. There's a halo surrounding her head and greenery everywhere around. Two royal court members sit beneath her, a wise sage carrying a scroll to the left and a musician to the right. The woman is the only one with a different colour palette- more teal, with tons of jewelry and detailed embroidery showcased in the image. Its all put in comparison to simpler outfits and more yellow-brown tones of the people beneath her.One of the frescos painted on the walls of the dungeon showcasing the view on the inner flow of magic in a human body. The body is simplified and there's stars in both of the hands. The head being the sun and moon united. Surrounded by stars and comets.

Close up of the image above showing the left side of the image. An illustration of one of the corridors in the dungeon Koba explored. A rounded corner with frescos on the walls and a statue hiding deeper in the corner. Long staircase go up to a destination unknown, shrouded in shadows.A close up of the right side of the image above. Containing three detailes of the frescos seen by Koba in the dungeon. All worn off my time with the colours being more dull, having that brownish tone, with small chips here and there in the wall they were painted on.

I locked in 🥹 Close ups in the comments! [ #art #conceptart ]
Concept of one of the world locations from the perspective of a mercenary Koba. 
An unnamed dungeon in the midst of a desert, south from the capital. One of many seen by Koba during his travels, never before explored. As he walked through it, with the group of mercenaries he worked with, they encountered no gold or chests filled with treasures. In their path only stood long-forgotten statues, eerily similar to the late Queen, and paintings sprawled across the walls. 
There are details of some of the frescos seen in the dark corridors by Koba. Many portray the woman from the statues in different scenarios. Here, in a royal court with a wise sage on her left side and a musician on the right. Greenery surrounds them as well as unknown symbols. Some of the frescos show the myths of the time, in this case the view on the flow of magic in a human body.

Sneak peek into what I've been working on 🫣 [ #art #oc ]
Illustration stylized into an old fresco style, inspired by the works founds in Sicily, Byzantium Empire as well as some other countries. It showcases the Queen in the middle sitting with her eyes closed, and arms open, welcoming. A bright halo surrounds her head. There are two people of the court sitting in front of her. A man holding a long scroll and a woman holding an instrument. There's some greenery and symbols scattered around. The colours are kept in brownish red hues and yellows with only the Queen's having her own distinct colour palette being green and teal. Her colours are the only ones with embroidery and she wears accesories in contrast to the people under her.

The warmness of the Queen's protective aura surrounds you... Are you ready to start your journey? [ #art #oc ]
Main menu screen, with the "start" having a spiral right next to it suggesting that the player is choosing that option. There's a vertical illustration next to the UI kept in a monochromatic color scheme. Going from dark blue to teal and greenish shades all kept in colder tones. There's intense, bright moon shining down on a statue at the center of a hidden, forgotten garden. The statue depicts the Queen of this world's Kingdom, the kind protector of all. She seems soft and forgiving, with a small smile on her face and eyes closed. Her gown is flowy, and her hands are kept close to her, as if caressing the heart. There are flowers at her legs and head statues made of a darker stone surrounding her.

Artists! Show me work you are the most proud of! ✨️ I think my art really clicked with this artwork of Salome I did,,, [ #art #oc ]
A character sheet of my oc Salome, there are three different poses with slight iterations on her hairstyle and clothing. The one on the left is of her sitting leisurely on the floor, her long her cascading down her shoulder. The one in the center has her arms crossed, a dark expression on her face while she stares at the viewer. On the right side, Salome is facing to the side, standing with her arm on her chest as if she's giving out an important speech. In the background there are different sketches of a city plan and buildings of the capital.

Hiba from the part we see the most of when the story really starts to take place. She wears clothes more prepared for adventuring, different temperatures and tough conditions in the wild. The colour scheme stays dulled but regains some of those orange tones. There are more details and more personality in what she wears. Jewellery makes a comeback. She's holding a medallion that helps her stabilize her newfound magic.
