Also, I finished this Reinhardt + Mercy #Overwatch illustration.

I live my life by Peter Cullen's words. He's the reason why I fell in love with Transformers and why Optimus Prime is a personal hero. This one hurt a bit personally, but I am so happy I got to share credits with him twice (and even got my ass beat by him once). Roll out, Prime!

Re: "Duskfade" I've written a post about what it was like working with Weird Beluga and Fireshine Games as a story writer and narrative designer, what it meant to me and how it has been one of the highlights of my professional life. I hope you'll read! www.diegovalenzuela.net/post/duskfad...

Duskfade and the Fight Against Despair

Halfway through 2023, my pet bird Jim (full name James Laserbeak Valenzuela) unexpectedly passed while I was abroad with my fiancé for a wedding. Now, Jim got me out of one of the deepest depressions ...

I’m proud of this one! I actually made an effort with a more sophisticated background and an actual scene with characters interacting directly. I had also never drawn my boy Lizard before. I hope you like it! #spiderman #lizard #marvel #comicbookart #digitalart

THIS TOOK TOO LONG I almost abandoned it because i started hating it halfway but I, glad I didn’t. In the end I really liked the poses details and even the little storytelling with the glass and the webs. It is what it is. #Hulk #Spiderman #BrandNewDay #DigitalArt #Procreate

self portrait No but really, I love this Bane design. It's over complicated so I had a lot of fun adding details and giving the metal pieces texture. Same for designing the boots. #Bane #BatmanAndRobin #Fanart #DC #ComicBookArt #DigitalArt #Procreate

Arsis is the main antagonist of "Knighted", a project I've been developing with Mako Animation, which will soon see the light of day in exciting ways. He was designed by /RubenSteven4 (TW), voice by yours truly. I'm proud of it, especially the rendering.

New artwork. Did a #DTIYS for one of Sable the Sable's many characters. I wasn't super happy with the pose in the end and Sable himself helped me figure out what it was missing, but I had fun. Hope you dig!

I can't explain it but this is more or less how Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" makes me feel. Put it together pretty quickly to practice mood/lighting/effects. Hope you like it! #Hulk #Marvel #ComicArt #Procreate #DigitalArt

In expectation and excitement of #VoxMachina's return, I needed to draw my faves (Pyke is missing but couldn't find a good placement). Learned a lot from this one and had a lot of fun. Which is what matters. Hope you dig! #Grog #Kayleth #DnD #DungeonsAndDragons #DigitalArt #Procreate

Had to start this one from scratch because I just didn't like it. I feel like after some study I could do better and I sort of did. I'm happy with the overall anatomy, proportions and action. Still, far from where I wanna be but I'm enjoying the journey. #Marvel #ComicArt #DigitalArt #Procreate

Ahoy all, I'm doing some promo animations for work and was hoping to show some WIP to get some feedback. This is a first pass on polishing and I wanted to get feedback before I go too far with it. I'm still fixing things but any thoughts are appreciated.

Finally managed to finish a drawing. Based of a conversation between Venom and Hulk in Marvel Rivals, where Venom expresses interest in binding with Hulk, and I can just imagine Eddie going “well guess I’ll just f myself then”. It was a lot of fun to do and I’m reasonably happy with the result.

Art Vs. Artist 2025 (first one I've done). Up until the last two months, this was a rough year, but I'm very happy that I used that down time to really practice art, resulting in probably the greatest improvement I've had.

Diego Valenzuela @thedamnbeast.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Every day I’m reminded why Spidey is my favorite superhero and lately I’m drawn to well drawing him more. Although I didn’t like the background I am very proud of the characters, particularly Peters hands and arm. Hope you like it. I have one more in me before the year ends. Hope you like it!

Diego Valenzuela @thedamnbeast.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

Though I wasn't quite as happy with this one as I am with the last one, I'm proud I'm at least trying to learn how to draw backgrounds. A shitty one is better than not trying at all, I guess. Anyway, enjoy!

Diego Valenzuela @thedamnbeast.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

New #Bane illustration. Probably my favorite I've done in a good while. I even drew a background like a big boy. Here's your reminder that Patrick Brown's Patreon is an incredible resource for artists. He's an incredible teacher and just watching his tutorials has helped me really level up.

New Demo Reel time! Apparently today is #PortfolioDay (allegedly, I don't know how it works so don't quote me on it), so I figured it would be a good chance to finally upload my new animation reel here. Website: www.artofalexhenderson.com

It turned out to be one of the most fun things I've drawn. I love Spidey and Gwen was a lot of fun to do. And look I almost did a background there.

I'm very happy with my new illustration. I wanted to draw two characters interacting and used a lot of references and tutorials to get the look I wanted. It's not quite there yet but I did feel a bit of a level up. Hope you dig it.

Still trying to find my technique. This time, it's TERRAX, an awesome character I had the pleasure of giving voice in the last LEGO movie.

First pass WIP of a scene I'm working on. Scenes like this with slow, gradual movement give me a hard time and I've been staring at this for too long to trust my own judgement, so any constructive feedback before I give this another pass is welcome.

I’ve been strengthening my lower back to squat more. I topped at 335 lbs today for three good reps. I know I can do more but I really don’t want to risk another injury. I feel like I’ve added more mass to my legs this year than in the last four. My sweatpants actually feel tight.

POV you just said lucha libre is fake right to my face. Having fun with brushes and perspective. I don’t know why I hadn’t drawn King before he’s literally me literally.
