It's still unfinished but I'm slowly getting close to making second cover for Feylights of Gaol (my book). It takes over 5 days, which is very slow for me, but I want to make sure it looks crisp in print I hope you will like it when it's done <3 #wipart #art #illustration

Comm posting time! Here are some portraits I painted for different groups and clients over the period of late summer/early autumn. Sketch portraits are the simplest comms I offer. They are very rough around the edges, but some people enjoy that effect <3 #sketch #dnd

Shortly before midnight, my brain decided NOW is the time to paint the Banshee Mantis elf. She's the last one from the main elven set, and she's been giving me issues #sketch #wipart #art

Here's a new bugelf I painted. His name is the Necromancer and he's based on a death's-head hawkmoth. All bug elves are painted for my upcoming D&D 5e book called the Feylights of Gaol, and they are playable species #art #dnd #characterdesign

Xaedra the Goddess of the Feywild is a character design I made for a client. I'm very honoured that I got to work with such a creative and vibrant concept! Not gonna lie, the palette reminds me a bit of one of Avicii's albums cover. #art #characterart #characterdesign

Here's a quick sketch painting I've done for a private client and their project called the remnants. The client had a very concrete vision I got to realise and this is the result #sketch

This is another concept art showing Weeshee, aka glowworm bug elf. This one is named Edgar. Edgar is not feeling so good. He is, hmm, departing, bleeding quite a lot of Feylight. All of the bugelves need this substance to survive. This is what their souls are made from #sketch #dnd #conceptart #art

I had some troubles designing the Banshee this year, so I decided to go back to the drawing board and give them one more shot. So here is the new banshee design sketch They are the only ones I lack until I have 10 bugelves completed #sketch #wipart

Here's a quick sketch I made some time ago of a bee queen for my bugelf series. I made some wonky hexagonal patterns too. At first I wanted to do honey hexes by hand but no. That was a very bad idea, why did I even. She is based on a carpenter bee btw #sketch #wipart

Hi! I wanted to share some more bugelves with you. This is Beatrice, a Sluagh drone, based on a bee. Bea here was painted in 2025 but I had to re-paint her a bit. Sluagh in general are based on order Hymenoptera. In-game they come in three types: drone, warrior and queen #art #dnd #sketch #fantasy

Here's a sketch I made to portray the Powrie, Squirrel Gnomes from the Feylights of Gaol D&D book. In the setting elves are bugs, gnomes are small forest animals, and dwarves are simply horrifying. I really wanted to do Redcaps, and picked the squirrels to represent them #sketch #characterart #dnd

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

It's not even an artwork per se, I'm just thinking out loud. Current Banshees (B) have a LOT of limbs and I'm not totally sold on that idea. I'm leaning to (C) but I need some second hand opinions. Thoughts?

Here is a very old artwork I repainted to fit Feylights demo bok. This art shows a goblin. In my setting goblins are based on bats, so they have to cover their eyes when they walk outside in daylight #illustration #goblin #dnd #fantasy #art

Hi! Here's some more Weeshee (glowworm elf). You seem to really like them to I decided to post one more 💚 I'm still thinking about the name for this fella. If you have any ideas I would be grateful! #sketch #art #dnd #fantasy #ocart

Here's a sketch of a Weeshee elf! Weeshees are glowworms elves, filled with a mysterious, magical light that keeps them alive and well.They are from my series of Bugelves I'm painting for my book :3 I painted this one before, but I decided to add a side view #sketch #dnd #fantasy #art #characterart

Cheers! Today I finished painting all the artworks for the demo my book, Feylights of Gaol, which is a D&D setting/expansion. I've been crunching days on after work. Today and tomorrow we are finishing the layout. Next task: translate the demo to English, so everyone can read it! #sketch #art #dnd

Firs. Fir Bolg, Fir Galeóin and Fir Domnan D&D started it with the Fir (which, a fun fact, just means "people") so I made some extra Fir species #sketch #wipart #sketching

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Here's something different. I painted an illustration for my demo book for my D&D setting. I used the same brushes and styles as for bugelves. The idea was to show the setting a bit. I hope this is the first of many such illustrations for the project #art #illustration #watercolour #d&d #dnd

Here is an illustration of a Botfly Bug Elf (this species is called a Feirak) for my book, Feylights of Gaol. It's a D&D fanmade project I've been working on for some time Feiraks are natural necromancers and they are my favourite species of elf. I base them on the order Diptera #sketch #art #dnd

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Here's an early sketch for the botfly Feirak (fly elf) for my D&D project. I don't remember if I shared this concept art before. Originally, it was made as a part of a bug elf giveaway, but the person who won never responded to the sketches and whether they like them or not :'< #sketch #wipart

Here's a Tarrasque I painted for a very kind person over on Discord, who sent me a detailed feedback for my D&D homebrew. I felt really grateful and so I wanted to give something in return - and so I painted this person's favourite monster #sketch #art #fantasy #dnd #d&d

This is Mara, an elf I created for my D&D setting called Gaol. I wrote several elf species, and all are based on bugs. Mara here is a black swallowtail butterfly. I really wanted to design her in such a way, that she resembles a starry night #dndart #fairy #elf #fantasy #fantasyart #ocart

Another in-progress art today. This is an artwork I'm painting for myself as a cover for my D&D project, Feylights of Gaol I copied wings from my concept art and I'm overpainting them slightly. This is bug elf is based on black swallowtail butterfly :3 #wipart #illustration #d&d

In contrast to the previous artwork, here is a rainbow faerie I'm painting for a private client It's very much a mid-render in progress thing #wipart

Here's another Banshee elf I painted. Seems like we are having a month of banshee. Banshees are Mantis Elf for my D&D 5e project and act as a playable species It may be just me but sometimes I just want to play 3 meter tall undead bug centaur with wings so huge they act as a dress #sketch #art #d&d

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

There were some anatomical mistakes with the smaller Weeshee (glowworm elf) I painted. So I'm fixing that art for clarity! I'm also making a second pose because any excuse to draw more bugs is a good excuse :3 #sketch #wipart

This is a sketch commission I did for a @jawmachineart.bsky.social This is Victor, a demon, with some pretty fun bug elements! I was delivered a pre-prepared character design/concept art, and my job was to just draw it in my own style #sketch #art #fantasy

I posted some D&D homebrew, and an awesome person responded with a document giving me detailed critique and feedback.

Here's a new bug elf for you! Well. Old-New. This is a Banshee, a Mantis Elf. This one is in calm form, veil on, not currently mourning, just walking. Mourning Banshees are incredibly dangerous (I will paint it soon) This design was painted for my D&D setting called Gaol #sketch #fantasy #dnd #art

New Banshee design. Because I just felt the old ones, based on Mantis insects, were not exactly what I had in mind Hope the idea is more clear now #sketch

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

This is a mantis fairy I sketched for a private client. This one was a bit of a challenge, but I hope in the end it works <3 I love it when people come to me with their own bug characters #sketch #art #sketchbook

This is an illustration n of an ancient deity conceptualised and painted for a private client. This was a partial character design work, as I received a pre-owned design. They are pretty different from each other, but I thought it's good to know #art #fantasy #horror #illustration #characterdesign

Glowworm Elf part 2 I added colours yesterday and it looks even more scary/grimm. I wanted to do a prankster/light themed seelie fey but ended with this. I still want to render them. I'll just need to change mechanics a bit to match the look I design the glowworms for my D&D book #dnd #sketch #art

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

I got some extra free-work time in between commissions so I started working on the next Bug Elf for the book. This is an elf based on a glowworm. I wanted to make them cute and whimsical, but I started getting ideas midway shape study and I ended up with a haunted skeleton :V #sketch
