"The Great Artificer"

one of the weirder things I've drawn <3

#DnD #Comm #DnDToken #TTRPG
A cyborg goat-man, all that remains of his original body is the upper torso and head. He has bronze metal legs and arms powered by blue glowing rocks that connect through a mess of tubes. He has more arms than his true body would've, and four spider-like metal legs.

Poseidon

#art #characterdesign
My take on the Greek Sea God Poseidon, appearing as a man. He has grey wet hair and beard. His body is covered in colourful corals and sea life. He has a cape made of ocean and a trident made out of corals and rock formations from underneath the surface.

Vgen commission for @/jessicapendragon 💛

#art #illustration #commission #Vgen
Digital painted portrait of an original character facing forward against a dark background, wearing an elaborate gold headdress with tall, wing-like white elements and intricate filigree. They have dark hair styled back, bold red eye makeup extending across the eyes, and a composed, regal expression. Layered gold jewelry covers the neck and chest, including chains, discs, and a crescent-shaped pendant, with a black draped garment over the shoulders.

I want to draw a comic. Even if it's just a couple of pages long. And I want to do some small animation tests. And definitely want to get back to making some more illustrations soon!

I haven't given my OCs proper names because I have attachment issues.

#oc #ocsky
Digital painting of a man called The Wanderer. His hair is short and white, with a teal green streak on the left bang, he has brown skin, and his brows and goatee are white. His left eye is also icy white, he has pointy ears, and he is wearing a feather shaped earring. He is wearing a hooded open vest, showing his bare chest, two elbow length gloves with both hands out. He has a sling bang and an obsidian black sword in a sheath hanging from his belt. His loin-cloth is teal colored and has a fish-tail shaped train on the back. Underneath is a pair of blue pants, and he is wearing a pair of cream colored boots with white and teal parts. His expression is serious and determined. Digital painting of a mythical merfolk called "The Omen". He is mostly humanoid, but with a giant oarfish tail that he's sitting on as he's levitating. He's dressed in a religious tunic, with puffed sleeves and knee length pants, with a red band resting over his shoulders, a helmet fashioned to look like an oarfish head, and he is holding a horn closely, as if he's about to blow it. The his sclera are bloodshot and his lips are a crimson color. Digital merman holding a trident. Instead of a half fish lower torso, his human legs are in tact, and his mermaid tail is "attached" to his rear/lower back. There are fins protruding out the sides of both his forearms, and the sides of his tail. His eyes are glowing yellow and he is wielding a black trident, almost in a threatening pose. Digital painting of an elegant merman called "Piercing". There is a glow of royal blue coming out of a cavity in middle of his upper torso in the middle that extends to his abdomen, and out of two columns of holes in his bottom portion. His tail seems to be a hollow flesh and the blue magic extends out to form his fish tail. He is wearing what appears to be a shawl made of black and blue fins.
