the little homunculus has since become her crucial assistant
A sorceress and her homunculus fully invested into drawing a ritual circle. The sorceress scrawls a long circle, surrounding lines and runes she previously painted, while the homunculus has drawn a smiley face on his belly.

I tell artists as often as I can: you know how to draw, you just don't know how to be happy about what you make.

being an artist is just decades of going "ugh I wish I knew how to draw" over and over again until you die

I'm still arranging the concept art I did for Age of Mythology into presentable formats. In the meantime, I made a little reddit AMA which features some work I did for the game. If anyone's interested, take a look!

sketch of a hand petting a capybara's head text reads: Animal Bond Animal Husbandry 1 Through an Animal Husbandry roll, you attempt to befriend or tame up to one Small or Medium Beast. On a success, the creature becomes friendly to you and your party. By providing it with proper care, food and shelter, the creature becomes your permanent companion. You may give your companion basic commands, such as hold, patrol, attack or scout. Your companion has its own turn in combat. Special: If taken during Character Creation, you may choose to begin with a companion.

Whenever I open a painting file on my computer, I can instantly recall whatever I was listening to (a youtube video, a song or band) while I was working on it. Pretty peculiar and useless superpower, like being able to recall what you had for breakfast 2 years ago.

Offering to the Buried God
A bottomless chasm, miles wide, takes up more than two thirds of the image. The distant horizon harbors a silent city. The sky a dark blue, it is moments before dawn. We stand on the precipice, observing a single lit candle, burning a green flame. A humble prayer to the Buried God.

Heavily inspired by Morrowind, Planescape and 70's Star Wars with a dash of bronze age and art nouveau. The mood? Conan after Conan: all the heroes are dead and this is the world they built.

Both orcs have red hair and pinkish-gray skin, similar to the hippos they ride upon. The carverine have long, elephant like tusks, and wear minimal bronze armor.

Her armor shines from the warm light that trickles into the large chamber, pouring in from an off-scene oculus. Her face partially in the dark, tall that she is, only illuminated partially by the bounce lighting of her armor. Her right arm adjusts her belt, while her left arm is lifted, underneath it; we see a shirtless servant on top of a tall staircase, tying the laces of her bracer. The staircase is built of beige stone. The bracer is almost the size of this person. By the cyclops' feet, we see two other servants donning her greaves. One of them holds the giant slab of bronze in place, while the other, behind the cyclops' calf, ties up the laces. The floor is a white marble tile, giving the entire scene a slight reflection.

Behind the Cyclops and her servants, three noble folk overlook her befitting from a balcony. The balcony sits at the height of the Cyclops' head. One woman smokes, the man in the middle lifts a goblet with a grin, and the leftmost woman looks simply bored. There's a glass pitcher hewn with gold half-filled with wine next to them.

Willing Subject
A dark room, lit by a single shaft of light from above. A man laying flat on a stone floor, next to him is a sorceress on her knees, dagger up in the air, an instant before she plummets the blade into his chest. The man stares at the viewer with a content expression. Next to the man's hand is a tipped over goblet.

"Birth of the Homunculus"

A sorceress astounded by her creation.

This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday!

(see thread for details + process shot-by-shot)
A sorceress astounded by her freshly sculpted homunculus. A single shaft of light illuminates her creation. Bounce lighting reflects upon the sorceress. The homunculus has a flaccid butt. The maker's hands are covered in fresh clay. They are the only body parts of the sorceress that are directly lit. Faint, residual purple smoke wisps from her fingertips: the homunculus stands in an awkward pose, that of a creature freshly adjusting to its body. The homunculus has thin limbs and a hefty torso, though it is faced against the viewer. The sorceress's workshop is littered in sculpting tools, brushes, an open tome of transmutation, ceramic bowls and a pitcher of dirty clay water in which lie a few of these tools. Clay shavings are scattered about the floor. A red, runic circle surrounds the humonculus. In the dark background it is possible to catch a few failed prototypes on a shelf.
