I have absurd amounts of work this month but I'll try ;___; All these options seems so awesome, it would be wrong not to do even one

Sluagh, the wasp elf, from the bug elf collection. An illustraton for Feylights of Gaol. It's a D&D 5e book I'm writing and illustrating. I hope you will like it once it comes out. For now, have yourself a wasp :3 #characterdesign #art #fantasy #dnd #sketch

The Citadel in Dis, an illustration for the Feylights of Gaol book . I'm not like, the best enviro artist in the world (in truth, I suck a bit), but for my book, I have to learn. And so I painted one of the book's location as illustration for the project #art

The first sketch looked like this :''D

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

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

As species? 12, each representing a different bug. As characters - as many as you want. This is a TTRPG, so the ones I'm painting are to be used as templates. They are for players who may want to create their own characters

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It was heavily inspired by an axolotl, but I was supposed to make her more draconic 💚 In the end she looks a bit like a horned frog maybe? Either that or a bearded dragon. My bearded dragon Obi sometimes makes that exact face at me

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Thank you! I git very fun characters to paint 💚 I really love doing lizards especially

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I wanted to give them a little glow 💚 I am lucky these are not real watercolours because holy heck I'd have to buy a special pigment to get that result on paper. I only have a glowing orange :<

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

And as always, here are all the closeups

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

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

She has big clawsz but under that cloth it looks like normal arms :3 She does a lot with fake images and camouflage, praying mantis style

010

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The idea is, you can see a fake body and face under the veil. I will make more poses and try to explore that concept 🩷🖤

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Thank you! I am slowly warming up to her 🩷 She's a concept art journey :'>

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

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

It's my obsession about the insects I think 💚 I have 12 different insects and arachnid orders that I turned into faerie species :3 And 9 more in progress, but those I'm leaving for another project

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Thank you so so much! I really appreciate you think so <3

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I hope I will be able to continue deliver up to expectations <3

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I'm touched you do <3 Thank you so much!

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

It took a few tries <3 I wasn't sure what % of grey, brown and gold I wanted so in the start it just. Had a totally different ratio The design went through its growing pains

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Thank you 🥹 I really enjoyed painting him! And I will paint some more, I really want to show his back (this mothsl species irl have this AWESOME skull like pattern slightly below the head and I want to recreate it)

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

So happy you do! I will make some extra turnaround pose and two portraits soon, so there will be more of this buddy 💛🖤 Thank you so so much!

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Thank you! It's all thank to how incredible the original moth is, Death's-head hawkmoths are just PERFECT

010

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I love moths as well, they are my favourite insect to get inspired by! I tell myself I need to paint other things but I keep doing moths over and over ,_,

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Thank you! It's all inspired by the death's-head moth :3 They have awesome colours and undertones

010

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Ahh, thank you <3 Means everything! I had a similar face when I downloaded high quality moth wing references and looked at them for the first time. Pretty, but also incredibly challenging to paint :3

Spikulec @spikulec.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

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
