Happy #PortfolioDay !

I'm Arlo and I'm an Illustrator/ Practical SFX artist who's been trying to get back into the swing of things after a couple years hiatus.

I really like TTRPGS, MMOs and character/prop designs!

Paladin/warlock hexblade. For the sake of saving the world, he is ready to sacrifice any number of people... even himself using the cursed artifacts such as greatsword Blackrazor and Living Armor which devour him alive.

man even my ocs are trolling me SMHHHH
a sketch of my asura oc Horux with an axe lodged into his head, he is bleeding profusely and missing an arm, but is pretty nonchalant about it and smiling dialogue: "No offense... the axe looks kind of shit." "can you draw it better?" "better yet, get back to work, MORON."

Another from the WIP vault

One more overpainting of an older drawing, but this changed pretty drastically from the initial concept. Redrew the face, and I'll probably do the same with the hand (one might argue I should just start a new drawing, but I like to suffer)

I had an urge to design Mordrem Mabaki.
Lighter color to follow original Mordrem concept, darker to follow his original colors.

I found it interesting that the wing-thorns can be used to pin a victim like a beetle or a butterfly. Especially considering the character owner's nickname ^^

@pyppyn.bsky.social was lucky twice: not only winning raffle roll but also during work on his Aavic I was hitted by the desire to do something complex xD

- Spells don't have to be useful. Sometimes they can be done just for fun. "Rain of Swords"? How about "Butterfly tornado"?
