(this is the only thing i have pinned in my discord art channel)
Cropped traditional pencil and ink drawing of a gloved hand holding a small lantern. The lantern is suspended off a large ring for easy hand-holding, and has a second smaller chain loop coming off for easy attachment to a belt. You guessed it, this is the Lantern item from Elden Ring. The gloved hand is wearing the confessor set, and is a right hand. The actual image sprite for the coveted Elden ring Lamp It's the same as the drawing, though the proportions are slightly different. The lantern glows a soft orange and little cracks run along the glass showing it is well loved.

#art #DarkArt
Digital black and white ink illustration in portrait format. Title at bottom: The Incineration of Decay. A large being of roots and branches looms over, its equine head with sharp teeth and white vacant eyes and a third one in the center of its forehead with an intense bloodshot pupil. It has two claw-tipped scaly hands, one of which is holding onto a geometrically-decorated spear piercing into its dark chest cavity. Its head is crowned in large, gnarled branches. More spears pierce its chest from different directions. Black fluid pours from its mouth onto the twisting bed of roots beneath it. The entire piece is stylized, using no shading but a lot of line wood grain on most elements.

Side by side image of my reference photo (left) and the completed digital painting (right). It shows a dark skinned woman in dramatic lighting that makes her skin have an etherial reflective quality to it. She has a broad flat nose, big lips and arched eyebrows with a small chin and rounded jawline and has a very prominent collarbone. She is looking to the left, and the whites of her eyes are the focal point. Her hair is short, natural and black. In the painting the skin isn't rendered completely, broken up into many sections of solid colours that create subtle hue shifts reminiscent of the arcane art style but more detailed.

headshot digital sketch of my original character ioric. He has brassy faux gold eyes, fair skin and dark brown hair that's slightly lighter at the ends. He has a tattoo of the eclipse on his forehead, partially hidden by his hair. He is wearing a navy blue hood with a white undershirt and his hair is tied in a fishtail braid pushed over his right (viewers left) shoulder to be more visible. The front hair is similar to grown out hime bangs. This image is on a dark grey background to prevent eyebleed and blend nicely with dark or dim mode. Comparatively the colours look lighter but it's just colour theory. headshot digital sketch of my original character ioric.

Photoshopping stupid ears on my bauldurs gate character
no shitty presets will hold me captive

I wanted to like this game, I really tried
Bauldurs gate john whiteguy half elf bodytype big with the 3rd face preset. Except, where previously pathetic little vulcan ears were, I have given him medium sized elf/tiefling ears for him to be self conscious about and cover up with a cool hat later Bauldurs gate john whiteguy half elf bodytype big with the 3rd face preset. Except, where previously pathetic little vulcan ears were, I have given him medium sized elf ears (or tiefling I forgot) because the lack of customisation in this game is a crime. This image is under harsher lighting, and is also upside down.

don't want to post about it too early but things are (still) cookin

#characterdesign #art #animation #magicalgirl #wip #diurnalstudios
Front and back pose taken from a character sheet for a project I'm working on. The character is a light blue magical girl with blonde hair in long miku twintails. She is fair skinned and has bright blue eyes that aren't her natural colour and is wearing a halter top corset and fluffy skirt that is inspired by the german dirndl dress with long white gloves and thigh high boots. The bows in her hair are shaped like butterflies, and she has a large white bow at the back of the dress. The character is drawn in a simplified style for the full body, designed for ease of animation.

you don’t get to show up to a realm of human expertise as old as humanity itself and claim the rules have changed when you never knew the rules to begin with. your compsci degree isn’t worth the paper machè that could be made with it, and the volume of your ignorance is insulting and embarrassing

Some limited palette nightfarers that I might render later
these two are my favourite so far

#recluse #guardian #nightreign #eldenring #fanart #wip #digitalart
Limited palette digital drawing of recluse from elden ring nightreign. The background is black with a royal blue stripe going upwards from left to right. There are small red accents around, a reference to both Recluse's remembrance skin and ultimate art. She is holding her staff and casting some kind of glintstone projectile, her hat obscuring her expression. She is wearing a black and purple witch outfit that is represented here in shades of violet, lilac, black, blue and a touch of pink to trick the eye into seeing more detail than there is. Her hair is light grey and her skin is dark brown, contrasting her light brown coloured staff. The drawing was started in the game passpartout and finished in medibang. Limited palette digital drawing of guardian from elden ring nightreign. The background is black with a royal blue stripe forming a dome above the guardian's head. A second shade of lighter blue is arced over the corners, in an attempt to emulate a skybox. There is are feathers floating around and the halberd seems slightly transparent, a reference to his remembrance skin and ultimate art. He is holding the halberd close to his body on the right side with a serious expression, always ready to defend the flock. He is wearing an almost completely silver armour set with a white tunic and leather straps. Black, light grey and medium grey are layered on the armour to distinguish individual shapes and three shades of brown are used on his feathers to trick the eye into seeing more detail than there is. His beak is in a gradient going from light to dark using cream, yellow, brown and a hint of orange. The drawing was started in the game passpartout and finished in medibang.

I forgot I did actually finish this one (left in quote)
two levels of brightness, my game settings are usually set as dark as possible for "immersions"

#art #digitalart #fanart #skyrim #elderscrolls #solstheim 🎨
saturated digital painting that depicts a nighttime camp scene on the island of solstheim from the elder scrolls games. The focal point is a lit campfire spreading light on two orange canvas tents, a spruce? tree and a small wooden chair in dunmeri style. In the background the lower part of the scene is completely blacked out by the ambient campfire light but gets brighter as you go up to reveal the stars and the red mountain can be seen still billowing smoke. In this version the lighting is "realistic" and therefore really dark. The two lanterns in the leftmost tent are much dimmer than the fire and the other tent on the right is almost completely shrouded. It gives the painting a dark and moody vibe. saturated digital painting that depicts a nighttime camp scene on the island of solstheim from the elder scrolls games.

I started a tarot deck of my ocs a while back, and none of the newer cards ever hit as hard as the first two did

just want to post the oldest so if I ever redraw them there's something cool to compare
#art #digitalart #tarotdeck #ocart #ocsky
The Judgement Card is the twentieth card in the tarot deck, shown as XX in the top right corner and the word JUDGEMENT in all caps at the bottom. The background is a saturated dark red and the character is completely in greyscale except for one distinguishing feature, her blue eyes. She is a young girl of no more than 20 years with long pale hair and matching pale skin. She is wearing a vintage styled black dress with short puffy sleeves and a white collar, and a matching black bow at the back of her hair. She has loose hime style bangs that look grown out. She holds a mask in her right hand (viewers left) and a white cloak in her other hand, the interpretation of the card representing her either donning or removing the disguise. The Hanged Man card is the twelfth card in the tarot deck, shown as XII in the top right corner and the words THE HANGED MAN in all caps at the bottom. The background is the exact shade of teal that was in the Judgement character's eyes, and the character is completely in greyscale except for one distinguishing feature, a ragged bite mark on his right arm coloured in the dark red. He is a young boy of no more than 14 years with medium toned hair that fluffs out at the sides of his ears. His skin is pale and he is wearing a sleeveless hoodie of medieval design. There is a bandage on his left arm just above the elbow, suggesting another injury. He is upside down in relation to the text, and gripping his throat with both hands. No matter which way the card is shown upright or reversed, his situation appears self inflicted and his serene expression is unsettling.

Not breaking my posting streak, poison swamp time

#digitalart #conceptart #landscape #mushroom #toadstool #art
digital concept art of a green swamp on one point perspective with three bright red amanita muscaria toadstools in the foreground in various stages of development. On top of the fully developed mushroom in the middle is a praying mantis drawn from memory. The mushroom to the left is your classic button toadstool with lots of white spots and a deep red colour. The mushroom to the right is juvenile and mostly white with a little orange peeking through, and it's almost touching the ground. There is some kind of bug on the left side resembling a house fly, but its scale is completely wrong and almost distracting.
