A tranquil & placid creature that dwells within the highest altittudes, sustaining themselves on clouds.

Part of an elusive species, they utilize their unique fur to blend in with the surrounding mist. They're also able to discharge cloud material to conceal themselves 🏔☁️

A wyvern with great dignity & pride. She is recognized as an embodiment of the sun and bears a strong sense of will & determination.

Though a gentle & patient guardian over their land and subjects she is a fierce & capable fighter, able to wreath their fibers in flames 🪶🔥

A stern & stoic Matriarch of unparalleled skill in the art of blacksmithing. She is an intelligent huntress and a capable tracker & forager.

Nomadic by nature, they wander the world seeking out the legendary Drakhouls so their parts can be hewn into weapons 🗡✨️

Another illustration I completed to pay homage to my inspirations as a youth.

I know now that this iconic juvenile sauropod was actually an a
Apatosaurus but I always thought they were a Brachiosaurus so decided to roll with it for this installment.

Such a memorable show 🌿✨️

An impromptu experiment I did following a discussion I had with my dad regarding our heritage and possibly having a tattoo done to commemorate it.

By no means a formal attempt at any type of ink work, but I enjoyed the conversation and wanted to illustrate it 🛡✨️

Here is the final of two submissions I'd completed for our final exchange this year over on Discord for @nymnir.bsky.social of their beautiful Nymnir 🌊

I am beyond humbled by the opportunity to experiment and develop my style with this set. The feathers were really fun! 🤘✨️

Bringing you another Throwdown piece over on our Discord for @necrophagic.bsky.social of their handsome lad: Sephtis.

As always, the peeps are challenging me with this opportunity; I have never really tackled a human(oid) prior and am really satisfied with the result 🍷✨️

I am ever grateful to be a part of this community of talented and passionate artists.

Thank you Jes for your attention to detail and for giving my lady a chance in the spotlight -you got everything about them on point.

Rest up and recoup, you've earned it! Absolutely above and beyond as always 🤘
secret snipe, round 10! this time for @chimeraforge.bsky.social 💚

As continuation of my loose 'inspirations series,' I did a sketch of a favoured character in a novel titled "Fire Bringer" by David Clement-Davies.

Rannoch is a Red Stag whose fate is intertwined with that of an ancient legend.

It is a marvelous read with a lot of depth 🔥

Fanart |Ceratosaurus (greymon base)

A colleague of mine at work thought the linework was lovely and said it would be worth sharing; so here you go!

Definitely more work than I'd intended to put into it originally, but all and all, only a days efforts.

I like how it came together ✨️

Fanart |Greymon
° ° °
In an effort to rekindle my motivation, I've been exploring my childhood inspirations across the media I indulged in then;

Starting with a study of Greymon as a Ceratosaurus.

I thought them suited for the species considering their tri formed crest -maybe it grayed with age ⏳️

Though I haven't watched the show yet; Primal seems like it'd be a good watch.

Fang has a nice design that is memorable and unique without being over the top.

~I worked on a Trex skull once that had really impressive "fangs." Almost the height of the whole dentary 🔪✨️

Got reunited with my old camera equipment this last holiday season; it helped me through a tough time before and it shall do so again.

Taking the time to manually focus my shots is so therapeutic; my focus really gravitates to being in the moment.

I might share some shots here when I sort them 📷✨️

From the vault, I bring you my first piece (2022?) for our exchange over on Discord, of Apexs' illustrious Luviore 💎

Prior to this piece I'd never pushed myself so hard; I learned much in that painting & in all since.

I'm humbled with my progress. An oldie, but goldie ✨️

A lone matriarch Ucheru that makes their home amidst the outskirts of the Vavindre Reigns.

She is known far and wide for her fine craftsmanship in the art of metalworking.

Though highly sought out, few can afford her fee --as it is hewn from the bones of Drakhouls.

Recently completed another deadly round of our art exchange over on Discord.

This painting was dedicated to Unravy of their charming character "Verlah" enjoying a moment of peace surveying the woods.

Something I often sought myself after enduring a tumultuous year 🌱

Had the wonderful pleasure of completing this illustration for Inkmavenart of their character "River" for an older "Throwdown Showdown" exchange on Discord.

Thank you for the opportunity, and for participating! It is always a reward to participate ✨️

Fullbody painting for Wurf of their immortal Dragonborn character Ormhild as part of our Throwdown Showdown exchange 💀

Thoroughly enjoying the work I've put into these pieces --I'm rewarded with experience and knowledge that I can apply in future illustrations!

Rough full-body painting based off of my Tyrannosaurus mask. I'm trying to experiment and get familiar with some new brushes I've set up for the ideal texture.

Was losing motivation so it's not as polished as I'd have liked, but I enjoyed my time ✨️
