As requested by a friend, I have drawn this helmet based around a fossil they suggested. But it felt a little empty, so I gave it a full suit of armour to boot, basing the colour scheme off of the forlorn hope set from vintage story! #Bronze_age #Fantasy #Armor #Character_Design #Aesthetic #Fossil

A man stands ready, armed to the teeth. His body is all but covered in intricate bronze armour with blue, white and azure cloth accentuating the set. He is wearing a strange helmet and bevor based in design on a fossil.

And another commission piece finished! This time, meet Jackie, an OC of a friend of mine. They are a member of a corvid-centered family and thus bear a jackdaw familiar. #DigitalArt #CharacterArt #Commission #Medieval #Armor #Landscape #Winter #Aesthetic

An almost ethereal person stands in focus of this piece. Their name is Jackie. They're wearing a beautiful white kaftan that is adorned with black fur at its edges. Over it they have a brigandine (a coat of plates) protecting their core and a pair of splinted vambraces to shield their forearms.
They are surrounded by a wintry landscape. Off in the distance we see two figures flee desperately through the snow, presumably from something that has caught Jackie's eye.

Jackie looks distraught, seemingly unsure in their ability to meet whatever it is they're looking at. They have drawn their sword, which now glistens in the morning's early light. Their trusty jackdaw has leapt off of their shoulder and away from their invisible assailant.
It's going to be a long day.

Here's my most recent commissioned piece. Meet Riot, a cybernetically enhanced driver from the universe of Cyberpunk! #DigitalArt #Painting #CharacterArt #ConceptArt #Cyberpunk #Aesthetic #Cybernetic

A weary man stands, leaning against a silhouette of a car. All four of his arms are busy: two are lighting up a cigarette, one's holding on to a gun and the last is propping him up. His faceplate is metallic, and sports some truly unusual features: six eyes, black as an onyx watch the viewer carefully, with a hint of tired curiosity to them. Two metal horns and a spiked Mohawk adorn the top of his head.

He stands against the backdrop of a burning arasaka building. No doubt his doing. But what is he planning on next?

Another commission finished for Sins of September for their new upcoming song, "Ain't going home"! #DigitalArt #Commission #PoliticalArt #Police #Fire

A stark dark red scene showing a suburban house in the carpenter gothic style on fire. The house shows signs of forced entry. Bullet holes riddle the left wall and column and some parts of the door. Two police officers stand above the scene, lit by the raging inferno. They are both armed with rifles of some kind.

A man wearing bronze armour stands firm against an abstract background. Over his intricate segmented carapace he wears a tabard with the sigil of his house: three forget-me-nots. His helmet bears a peculiar feathery crest.

A soldier of some kind, wearing an intricate suit of laqcuered lamellar armour. On his chest and on the flag behind him there is a strange sun insignia. His face is covered by a masked helm with a crest.

And we're not slowing down, here comes Death herself! The costume was absolutely gorgeous, so I couldn't NOT draw it #DigitalArt #CharacterArt #medievalArt #MedievalHorror #Horror #Fantasy #Uncanny

An uncanny figure stands among a liminal field of wheat. She is pale as death herself. Red and black adorns her dress and tunic; intricate floral designs decorate the embroidery. She's wearing a tall red flower crown.
In her hand she holds a sickle.

But I'm not done yet! Here are two of the ten drawings I'll be doing over the coming days of the characters from a game I went to in Lithuania last month. Their names are Liiv an Firim and Keiris Ankreit! #CharacterArt #MedievalArt #DigitalArt #Portrait #Swords #Medieval

a warrior rests in the forest, reflected in an abandoned intricate mirror. She's wearing a simple blue tunic, a leather brace and a dark medallion. In her hands she's holding a sword. In her eyes there is a weariness, but she's alert still, watching for threats in the distance. Her hair is of a beautiful pale purple.

A queen stands against the dark background of her banner. She holds onto her intricate sword, ready to bare it at a moment's notice. Her gaze is steely, staring forward into the future of her people. She's wearing a Long, simple, but well embroidered dress and a leather corset with webbing to hold the scabbard. Her head is adorned with a beautiful crown with leaf motifs decorating it.

A beautiful red-headed woman stands against a vibrant green background. She is wearing a dark green dress that's fashioned to look medieval with a belt and blouse to boot! Upon her fiery head, a crown of flowers rests.

A tired man stands among the dark woods. Stark shadows surround him. He's pushing a wheelbarrow. He's wearing plain clothes and a dark blue, almost greenish kilt.

Another set of drawings and another pair of friends! These lovely women played the parts of the witches that ruled over the cursed hut. Both of their performances were great!

A slim, tall figure stand above what seems to be the open grave. The full moon looms over her. Her eyes are dark. She's wearing tattered clothes. Long strands of hair run down her shoulders. The drawing is in black and white.

A woman emerges from the shadows in an uncanny way. Her hands are adorned with claws. Her eyes and the skin around them are blackened with ritualistic markings. Two white dots stare at the viewer. The drawing is bathed in an unnatural blue light.

Next up are the two immortal captives of the witch; cursed to wear bells around their necks so that they may never rest. Their appearances are also warped, to prevent anyone from helping them. #DigitalArt #CharacterArt #HorrorArt #MedievalFantasy #Medieval #Horror

The drawing depicts an enraged figure: more beast than a man, it roars at the viewer, incensed, seemingly, by the ringing of the bells around its neck. Its arms are hairy and instead of a normal head, it bears the head of a wild brown bear. Strangely enough, it wears white robes, almost ceremonial in their appearance.

Another twisted figure is seen, kneeling in front of a broken window: a man? Clad in a dark green cloak sits, grasping at his head and ears. His head is unnatural: he bears the antlers of a deer, but the visage of a dead bear. His hands are covered with something red. Blood, perhaps? Down to the forearm. A set of bells jingles around his neck.

next up are my other two good friends, those that played the tormented spirits that inhabited the witch's hut! Meet the night and day-time ghosts, respectively. #DigitalArt #MedievalArt #CharacterArt #Horror #Ghost

A twisted spirit is seen, glowing a faint, ghostly green in the darkness of a cabin. Its face is skeletal, contorted into what can only be described as an evil grin as it puts its finger up to its non-existent lips to shush whoever it is addressing. Chains adorn its neck and both its wrists are manacled.

a foul, skeletal apparition winks at the viewer, clad in torn teal-colored robes. Its ribcage is showing and the its skull is deformed, seemingly sprouting horns and other protrusions along its dome.

Here are two of my many compatriots from the game I mentioned going to earlier; both played the servants of a Jarl, cursed with petrification by the witch. #DigitalArt #FantasyArt #MedievalArt #Horror #Mystery #Magic

a man, half cast in shadow, stands petrified, literally frozen in fear. He's wearing tattered clothes: a simple tunic, a capelet and a hood. His face is cracked, half of it covered in ancient stone that now makes up his body.

Another man, in a similar position to the previous one: he stands there, frozen in time by a petrifying curse. his hands are half made of stone, and so is his face. A fearful expression has twisted itself over his countenance. He's wearing old robes, tattered with time and forgotten by most.

Behind him stands a cauldron with a bone poking out of it, a bloodied hook hangs from the ceiling to his left.

I had already posted another friend that looked like an angry scotsman armed with a longsword. Here is his nightshift double, the ominous guard at the entrance to the witch's hut. #DigitalArt #CharacterArt #Medieval #Night

An enigmatic figure is lounging in a makeshift throne, holding up a skull that's etched with runic text. The composition is dark, lit only by a fire off camera. There is a sword stuck in the ground behind the throne and a crossbow leaning up against it. This one ought not be crossed, it seems.

I have finished a series of drawings and will be releasing them piecemeal to this account. They all have to do with a larp game I recently went to as one of the organisers of the local dungeon. We built the thing from scratch and frightened players in it dressed in costumes. These were the costumes.

Did the most basic comic strip I could imagine for the pallydens because I missed drawing them! Here's one of them getting challenged to a dance-off by a mysterious rhinestone-clad stranger ^^ #ComicStrip #Medieval #Wholesome #armor #rhinestones

A three panel comic depicting a pallyden (a knight clad in flowy blue robes and wearing a matching beret over his helmet) getting challenged to some battle by a stranger in shining blue, red and white armour and armed with what seems to be a disco ball mace. Their dance battle ensues in the third panel, where both of them dance in a disco ball lit room, cast in dark blue shadows.

A stark red and ivory composition depicting someone wearing a tactical vest with the patches of flags of the US and Israel. The text states:
"DEATH TO THE IDF"

A much darker composition with a broken sword held aloft as its focus. It's surrounded by thick smog-like clouds. There is blood running down the sword and the hand holding it. The text states:
"FIGHT"

One more stark red composition, now with a bible as its focus. It's held by a bloodied hand of the figure from the previous compositions. The word bible has been scribbled out and replaced with unevenly drawn bloody dollar signs. The text above says:

"DOLLACRAZY"

An unexpected expansion of the previous piece for an album titled "Axis of Evil" by Sins of September. #DigitalArt #CoverArt #PoliticalArt #AlbumArt #Political

An extension of the previous piece titled "Wake up", this composition features the still slumbering lady liberty amidst an unnerving landscape. Apocalyptic clouds surround her and the city behind her, writhing across the red sky as if repulsed by the mere sight of the statue.
Instead of her signature torch she holds aloft a broken sword, and in her left hand a bloodied bible. She's wearing a tactical vest with the patches depicting the american and israeli flags. And on her crown stand the same clansmen from the previous piece - all representatives of the many facets of american elite.

She stands atop a pile of skulls.

Another commission done and dusted, always fun to do a political piece ^^ #CoverArt #Monocromatic #Political #LadyLiberty

A bright red composition reminiscing of old Soviet posters in both style and substance. The scene depicts a gang of clansmen dressed in various modern garb like the supreme court judge's cloak and the ICE agent's vest standing atop Lady Liberty, whose eyes are closed in uneasy slumber. Blood drips down her corrupted crown and on to her cheek, looking as though the statue is weeping for what is being done to it and what it represents.

What a way to follow up the previous post. But this is an art page, so here's my latest piece! It's a party of adventurers for my first DnD campaign in almost a decade. Which one do ya reckon is mine? #ConceptArt #FantasyArt #GroupArt #Sketch #FantasyArmor #Armor #DnD #DnDParty

A group of adventurers stand side by side. From left to right it consists of a brooding ranger clad in a greenish grey cloak and wielding a flintlock pistol. A dragonborn druid wearing a long red coat and joined by his prehistoric companion. A hooded Drow cleric, clad in armour and holding up several holy artefacts. And a halfling paladin, mounted on a dapple grey icelandic horse.

A tall man stands against a white field, clad in a dark grey cloak and wielding a flintlock pistol. A longsword is showing from below his garments, signifying a life of hardship and violence.

An unusual fellow stands in a void. His overall proportions are humanoid, but for his skin he has green scales. His head is that of a long forgotten dinosaur, adorned with a crown of purple feathers. On his shoulder sits a prehistoric flying beast, keeping an eye on his surroundings. His overall disposition speaks of a life lived surreptitiously.

A shorter man stands, holding a handful of holy symbols in front of him. His face carries a mocking grin. He's armed with a thin longsword. There is something beneath this sneering veneer, but it will take a lot of effort to uncover it.

A threatening figure sits on a stump as if it were a throne, surrounded by rare, unnaturally dark foliage. It is an orc, clad in rich red-violet, navy blue and golden colours. His armour is massive and so is the weapon he's leaning on.
But all of it pales in comparison to the figure conjured up from the smoke of his pipe. Behind him, a shadowy effemoral beast looms over the scene, staring out into the darkness of the forest.

He rests. For now.

An imposing figure stands over a charred scenery. A man clad in a brigandine breastplate, pauldrons and a masked helmet is looking over the destroyed hillside. He's armed with a large crossbow, something almost bordering on a handheld ballista. The colours are washed out and drab, with brows and shades of red prevailing over the composition.

A golden knight clad in a torn red cloak stads firm against a hail of arrows flung down at him from the city walls. The fortifications look like fangs, biting into the sky and laughing at the man's challenge.

The knight is baring his sword and readying a fire spell of some kind, his eyes literally aglow as he stares down his nemesis.

Here's Clive, a stoic Ranger, also known as the 'Outrider'. So named for protecting villages on the very outskirts of a Kingdom that's abandoned them. #ConceptArt #CharacterArt #Fantasy #HighFantasy #Swordsman #Armour #MagicWeapon #SnowStorm

A towering figure stands amidst a white-out storm, seemingly unphased by nature rampaging around him. He's wearing dark robes, trimmed with light fur. They've seen better days: some parts of it are torn to pieces.

He carries two swords: one as dark as the night itself; seemingly consumingly almost consuming the light around it, and the other a polar opposite: a fine blade of bright steel, glowing a blue-ish hue.

The man seems confident he can handle it all.
