Great adventure lies ahead. I'm joining a residency for artists & researchers in the Arctic – yep, the actual real-life Arctic! Being off-the-grid; don't be alarmed by my disappearance, I'll return to you mid-June~ I'll be researching for my next project – Let's see what the Arctic has to teach me.

He had become a hostage; even in his long escort, the freighter was a marvel he had not believed he would see on her maiden journey north. He should have been her protector. She did not need him. 🩸

A grand train-like machine in the form of a sleeping god moves in the far background. There is an armoured rider dragging a half-armoured man in the foreground. They are crossing a near-endless lake with red water and white salt banks.

little #Crescentsona fanart for @electricsaint.bsky.social's Crescent County ~ love unapologetic indie games with all my heart, if witches on motorbrooms sound like your thing, go check it out ! this here is my attempt, something of a cowboyknightwitch with my own gremlin child Grim as familiar ~

Overpainted blender sketch of a shadowy witch-like figure on a motor broom that vaguely resembles a jousting horse. A scraggly cat stretches over the broom behind the witch.

The breeze carried columns of smoke, a battle that had left behind two enemies, frozen in time. He watched the object of his hatred save him the embrace of merciless Death. As one collapses, the other's world falters. ⚔️ #art #keyart #visdev #knights

Hey, I'm Reeve, I paint my own stories/characters in whichever way I can ~ My art goals are to do more personal art in 2025, get back into worldbuilding concepts and experiment with 3D workflows ~ Thanks for hosting !

3 colour sketches of two guys duelling with swords

back view of a half-naked man in a dark tiled hallway approaching a slither of light cutting through it

Two men freeze mid-scuffle on the floor of a dark derelict cabin as they recognise each other in the moonlight from the window above, the man on top holding a blade pointed at the other's throat. The window above them casts cool light, there is warm light from a fire coming from off-screen. There are empty bottles scattered across the dark corners of the room.
