QRP with your 💀 skull art 💀 Did this one years ago for Month of Fear - "Monsters Within" prompt. Still one of my favorites, symbolically. Graphite on paper, 6x8" iirc
A graphite drawing of a human skull in profile. The cranium is overlaid with a dark, twisting snake where the brain should be. #darkart #horrorart

It’s been a few years, but I still love this variant for SANDMAN UNIVERSE: Nightmare Country: The Glass House 👁️🩸
My variant for DC’s SANDMAN UNIVERSE Nightmare Country The Glass House. The Corinthian in the middle of a traditional Chinese poster layout, he’s grinning while holding up chopsticks with a siu mai to his eyeball to eat. The title is written in trad Chinese around him. A bloody eyeball, his sunglasses, a Chinese lantern and Flynn the cat are around him too.

The Wizard's Keep - short excerpt from Strangehollow (excerpt in alt text). The next 3 books bought come with one of the last copies of Artpothecary, a collection of my drawings up till 2018. buff.ly/7krkipG #wizards #fantasyart #folklore #artbook #fairytale
Right in the centre of Strangehollow, there is a very small keep,
perched precariously atop a very tall hill, rising out above the
tops of the trees with views all the way to the distant mountains.
Although it has a front door, you will never see anyone enter or
leave. There have been rumours that the keep is merely just the
tip of the iceberg, that the hill itself has an elaborate maze of
rooms inside where the lonely wizard who lives there performs
his spells and...photo of three books with 'artpothecary' on the front and a drawing of a unicorn in graphite.

Marco González - Fantasy artist @mgonzalezart.bsky.social · 14/07/2026
Hi #Portfolioday! I'm Marco González, freelance artist working on TCG, TTRPG, video games and book publishing, among others. I love creating uncanny fantasy pieces and bringing stories to life. marcogonzalezart.com animadeprived.carrd.co
A horned and almost entirely covered creature stands in the middle of the picture. Frayed layers flow around its body, kind of disintegrating as they move. A dark face with bright eyes is barely visible. Behind it, we see a stony and almost organic setting in mostly cool colours. In the bottom of the frame, we see a small character looking at the giant creature, standing on an organic-looking pathway.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.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 woman sleeps in a bed with an intricate metal headend, next to an open window. Her face shows anguish, and her hand grasps her sheets tightly. A large, blue and ghostly figure with long white hair and fiber-like layers covering its body stands next to the bed, grasping the headend with one of its hands. As the woman sleeps, the figure siphons a bright blueish and sinuous energy from her head.

Homology
Digital drawing. A burst of hands/forelimbs of a variety of terrestrial vertebrates emerges from the fin of a mostly unseen fishapod in the bottom left corner. The forelimbs gradually point more towards the upper left corner as you move up through the bunch.

Summer is nearly over and I had an eventful one. This is a painting I did years ago for a competition and my niece modeled for it. I hadn’t seen her in many years and it was a reminder how time is fleeting. ‘Frome Me to You’ Sumi and watercolor 2018 (I think)
A painting of a girl in a lily pad patch. In one of her hands is an antler and the other is pulling a string from it.
