Went to a party. I'm dead inside so I'm a Good-Looking Corpse.

Do you like dragons, fantasy, TCGs and supporting black owned businesses? Then go check out this kickstarter I did some work for!

Just one week left and they’re very close to meeting their goal so kick them some funds if you can or at the very least SHARE!

He glistens and gleams in the morning sun.

I’m at the phase of this build that immediately precedes joy where I just want the damn thing out the door.

This painting plan actually worked out far better than I hoped as far as giving interest to Narinder’s otherwise smooth features. A bit too purple which i may fix, but almost assembly time!

Are people still jazzed about Cult of the Lamb? Because I really haven’t stopped being jazzed about Cult of the Lamb 🐑 (WIP commission). Also we sculpt by hand in this house no 3d printing to be found.

Another commission of a client's DnD character. A friendly necrotic construct by the name of Nathorem.

The first of 3 commissions of someone's DnD character. An inquisitive necrotic construct. I grew to really enjoy his design the more I drew him.

FYI I am usually always open to commissions especially of DnD characters and creatures, so feel free to DM me!

#Dnd #creaturedesign #fantasyart #art
A tall humanoid creature in rag-tag adventurers clothes with a mutli-horned skull for a head squats on his haunches eyeing a glittering necklace he holds in front of his face from a long coiling tail. Presumably by the ornate shovel in his hand it is from a recent excavation.

Happy Sunday from myself and Granny Snail. Her pack always has precisely one very large cabbage in it. She sells other vegetables at market but her cabbage is really her star seller (her secret is snail slime in the fertilizer but don't tell anyone).

A kindly old woman/snail hybrid with a cane, wrapped in shawls with an enormous backpack covered in yet more snails. She is smiling at a snail that has mad its way up her cane and onto her arm. Her lower half is that of a snail

Thanks for this!

I’m Adam and I make a number of macabre oddities while also being a creature designer and prop/costume builder by trade!

3 fetal skulls with the tops of the cranium removed have been turned into planters and are displaying 3 different houseplants. One is red, one is realistically painted, and one is raw white. A disfigured and warped skull mask with tendrils of hot pink flesh wrapping around it. It has a horn on one side. The skull is dark blue with lines of gold accents and gold teeth. An illustration of a battered and monstrous lion pelt with button eyes and tusks hanging from it’s head. A masked man in tribal garb looks out from the open mouth. A man standing with his arms behind him cosplaying as Lord Beerus from Dragon Ball Super. His skin is purple and he is wearing a full head mask of a sphinx cat with enormous ears.

It's easy to assume The Circus is without security. You'd be wrong, of course, as they usually go unnoticed by engaged patrons not used to looking up.

Good morning first day of vacay I’m fuckin JAZZED

Doodle from the Simply Scary Podcast. Can’t recall the name of the story but it involved a very unsavory “gentleman” slowly getting closer to the viewer of a recently purchased painting every time said viewer looked away.

Scribble.

I doodle knights spouting this phrase in the corner of pages where I’m starting to get discouraged with how a piece is goin. It was both way to step back and work on something quick with 0 pressure while also giving myself my own lil pep squad.

So go slay your own vile beast of doubt 🗡️

The diminutive Beast (Tamer) of the Circus of Shards has never been known for his welcoming demeanor. Largely due to the arduous task of finding new monstrosities to tame while traveling The Wastes that won’t devour patrons and performers on sight.
