Radagon commission for @yharnamesque.bsky.social Making me feel like it’s time for a new Elden Ring run 😎
Digital illustration of Radagon from the video game Elden ring. He is shirtless in a smoke-filled void. His torso is cracked and reveals geometric golden runes and his unique eye glows with the same colour. He has long messy red hair tied up in a plat and he is inexpressive while advancing towards the viewer

Fallen
watercolor painting diptych:
Painting on top: a crow sitting on a tortuous branch under grey skies, its head turned to the side. Its neck feathers are soft and fluffy. Several small and sharp branches are hanging from above, looking almost like claws. Snowflakes are falling around the crow, one especially big and with a reddish glow over its chest.
Painting on the bottom: some bushes with reddish leaves and dark branches covered in snow. The snow is piling up at the feet of the trees, and a black sword is planted in the ground there, in the shadows under the branches. There's a little bit of red on the blade.

The Strength tarot, featuring a scene at Mars' house, where he's pulling the ruined painting of his late wife and him from the fireplace where it's been thrown, as Morenn watches from behind. The house has been ransacked, and it's split to show the garden outside. The scene is framed into a long dark haired woman dress, with flowers in her hair. In the background, Mars' feral form, holding a wild rose, distraught.

redrew a sketch from 3 years ago of one of my favourite tumblr posts #art
A polyptych representing four animals. The text above it reads "And God gave the beast-kings gifts that they might share with their people."
The first panel is a panting wolf and reads "To the Wolf, God gave ripping teeth and the Law of the Pack." The second is a roaring bear with the text "To the Bear, God gave crushing jaws and terrible strength." The third is a falcon looking over a pastoral scene, the fields stretching all the way to the horizon. "To the Falcon, God gave slicing talons and great sight." The last is a simple snapping shrimp just sitting by some rocks. "And to the Shrimp, God gave the concussive plasma cannon."

Wayang purbakala The iconic myth from my hometown (a shark fighting a crocodile) depicted as Javanese wayang shadow puppets of Permian animals. #wayang #wayangkulit #3D #blender3d #Surabaya #Indonesia #Permian #paleoart #SciArt
Submitted for the ilustra.see competition last year. This was an experiment on depicting Paleontology with Wayang kulit, a traditional shadow puppet art form from my country. Here a scene reminiscent of my City, Surabaya's founding myth is depicted, but instead of a shark fighting a crocodile, it is a Permian Spiny shark fighting an early armored sea reptile. Surrounding them are brachiopods, tabulate corals, and horn corals found throughout Permian strata in Java and Timor, while the Gunungans in the back have a simple wavy pattern to indicate the scene is taking place underwater.

The wayang cutouts are drawn in Photoshop, imported as transparent PNG objects in Blender and rendered in Cycles to achieve the shadow puppet look

Let’s talk about 🐏 WOOL🐑 a 🧵 in multiple parts (if I can figure out how to do a thread) When I was a vegan, I never bought wool, assuming it to be unethical and exploitative somehow. Now I know better. Wool reveals its secrets and is a literal record of the sheep’s life, nutrition and care. (Cont.)

last night I got to go to a single release party for my pal Doug McArthur (whose album art I drew earlier this year) and set up at the merch table to sell prints of it alongside my regular stuff. I realized I forgot to share it so here it is! #art
a cartoon illustration of a man in a denim jacket and jeans playing a lute and singing while walking down a path next to a river winding through foggy green hills. the hill on one side has birch trees with little pink leaves, and some pink mushrooms upon which a little white and black cat is perched. the other side has prickly, mostly bare evergreen tree trunks with the occasional needled branch. In the foreground there are ferns and glowing pink flowers. Another little black and white cat with ziggy stardust lightning bolt markings is nestled in among them. in the far background hiding behind a hill and some trees is a large blobby black shape with white pinpoint eyes. on the left among the ferns is a giant raven. a tiny nuthach meeps on a birch tree on the right.

There are a lot of different eagle and hawk species in South Africa, but there was one in particular that I was hoping to see. It was kind of hidden by branches, high in a tree , but then, this African Fish Eagle took off to check out the riverbank in the late evening light! #Birds 🪶
