It's funny, that of all the periods post the busiest time of my last few years I'd sit down to draw right before Xmas. It's been a while since I started remastering some of my old art, but I hold to it. And today this one felt like the one. Serper remaster. #fantasy #fantasyart #sythgara #art

We've done easkulls with more pitbull flair, here's more bull. A bullskull. I suppose it also highlights their mammal-ness. They're not dragons : o #art #easkull #fantasy #sketch #oc #bull #character #noai #original #sythgara #humanoid

Hi all! Despite my lack of presence recently I'm very much alive. Life has been mostly work and trying to navigate everything so my own art took a major pause. All the spare time is spent resting and socialising away from the workstation. It will probably continue bit more. Thank you! #fantasyart

The vfx shots from Mufasa were too perfect to pass on a quick mock up since the skin color was just spot on for an average Ligrys. It will be a big help going forward with lighting. #ligrys #ligris #easkull #fantasy #paintover #study #conceptart #mufasa #lion #creature #design #sythgara #remnant

I did a redraw of @sythgara.bsky.social 's character Thorn, he turned out better than I imagined he would. Enjoy :>

Guess who got access to a decade old zbrush model and is refining it now? The body is supposed to have slight differences to humans. It will become more apparent with time. The head was the most needed update (White - new) #3d #zbrush #azuryt #easkull #fantasy #oc #character #sythgara #3dmodeling

3rd time's the charm! It's been few years but I finally like this! This is Irisia, one of the female Arnuks on my ensamble. She doesn't have a solid place in the book yet but I have some ideas. #fantasy #humanoid #girl #female #monster #sythgara #conceptart #sketch #art #oc #original

A couple of days ago I posted a link to the Durin's Song which has been making rounds on YT. I liked it so much I had this sudden image of a new easkull character singing some of the parts along with my current guys. And there we have it! Still settling on overall colors. #fantasy #art #easkull

Leah is coming out better and better! I've come to accept the painterly vs quick draw versions will differ in the end. I like the realistic versions when I picture it as a movie, compared to the more Disney/2d feature for the expressiveness and ease of drawing them repeatedly. #elf #leah

I'm trying out a more stylised eye placement without worrying too much about 3d accuracy. I think it fits quite well. For now this is just a random character, more chunky and broad. #easkull #sketch #digitalart #art #fantasy #humanoid #sythgara #oc #original #noai

I keep digging through my old stuff to find more material to remaster, and I stumbled upon this piece I drew after creating a new character for the book hehe. God they've changed so much since. #art #fantasy #comic #easkull #arnuk #sythgara #remnantsofnysera #humanoid

www.youtube.com/watch?v=shyC... May I direct you to one of my youtube oldies? My yt is always in the back of my head. Largely unused. Finding fitting, free, music has always been the major hurdle in the process. If anyone can point me to a good library I'm all ears! #art #fantasy #video

Today I finally dug up my gouache paints. And the first victim to practice on is this old watercolor painting of a golem from my story. Currently it's still a wip but it's getting there. I adore that I can lay on any color on top of the other. Great paints! #gouache #golem #fantasyart #art #wip

WIP of a nyfrit I found this cool painterly brush for csp and adjusted it to be little more oily. I love it! It also makes my workflow much faster :) #art #fantasy #fantasyart #creature #digital #worldbuilding #original #oc

Trying to paint a grandiose painting. Initial idea next to it to show the difference in approach. I'm still not sure how vibrant I want the colors to be if I'm honest. I'm trying to find balance between striking illustration and something taken out from a movie. #wip #art #fantasy #landscape #book

Alien sketch CSP - perfect pencil This is one of those designs you get an idea for from random splotches or small thumbnails out there. Really liking this design but also let me tell you, perfect pencil in clip studio paint is a godsend! I will be using it more #art #scifi #fantasy #sketch

Debate - remaster 2024 Here is another remaster! Previous version for comparison, which was admittedly a doodle rather than a painting, but still. The lack of vibrance was probably the worst offender #digitalart #art #noai #fantasy #monster #creature #dnd #lotr #medieval

Sereno I only ever drew one portrait of this easkull in particular, and after seeing a quick concept tutorial on painting characters I felt like he was going to be a good test subject. #art #fantasyart #noai #humanoid #oc #worldbuilding #story #originalart #digitalart #conceptart

2014 Back in the day I did quite a few of those to great success. People would pitch their characters against mine and I would toss a coin to see who won. Ecanus is my oc/ named after patron of writers. Sergal character belonged to one named Ahst #sergal #angel #knight #fantasy #art #fantasyart

Calling all fantasy artists or people who know them. I wanna find more people with work and worlds inspired by lotr, witcher, narnia and similar: Mythological, whimsical full of cool Critters and lore. If there's a story then even better. Thank you #artshare #fantasyart #fantasy #lotr #art
