This was inspired by a recent animation I made of a characters skin tearing open :D Turns out tendrils and goop are really satisfying and easy to draw! #gaeilge #irishartists #digitalart #art #comics #animation

I wish I could say this look and style was planned out, but I really just went with the flow and love the result. I think it's got a kind of robotic sheen look. Reminds me of #cyberpunk or #bladerunner #lifedrawing #nudeart #artist #animator

I actually really tried to roller skate when I lived in Vienna, and while I could eventually not fall down it's so tiring and never looked cool at all. #skating #speedpaint #artprocess #cartoons #animator

Hunt
I'm really happy with how terrifying Hunt looks here. I'll definitely draw him again with Bryce. I also attached all of my greyscale drawings here. It actually is the easiest way to paint your shading and I really regret ignoring it for so long. #fantasy #angels #gods #fanart #artist #character

Studies
I'm currently working on an animation with a female character, but I'm actually far less familiar drawing women. Most life drawing classes I've done were with men, and most of my animations are male characters. So I've gone back to studies to gain confidence #artstudy #art #drawings

Link - Breath of The Wild
I still think about this part of BOTW now and then and it's actually so intense. Like Link lost his entire team, somehow survived, but still had to surrender and disappear. It just deserved a dramatic painting. #nintendo #botw #link #legendofzelda #guardians #fanart

I'm just having a nudey sit by the river in Düsseldorf and reflecting on my first year in Germany. I really love this city, but I am disappointed in the lack of FKK spaces here in the west. When Berlin and the East seems to have so many open nude spaces.

I feel like all my favorite artists and animator's are amazing at calisthenics. So since I can muscle up now, could I also have an animation job 🥹 #calisthenics #muscleup #gymartist #fitness #pullups #thiccback

I recently finished reading the #crescentcity book series and was so inspired by all of the fantasy characters. I definitely want to make more designs for the full cast but I just had to draw Bryce first.

I've been drawing some portrait and lighting studies today and just really fell in love with this one. Sometimes that state of flow actually hits just right. I feel like drawing is finally taking me out of a rut again too. #portrait #realism #lighting #artstyle #fashion #blue

I've mentioned this podcast so many times as inspiration that I finally had to draw the man himself. This is the second time I painted a piece, but the first just wasn't working. I got lost in the pressure of it. #podcast #blindboy #illustration #starlings #ireland

Just had to scrap a piece that I was working on for over a week. :/ It's never easy, but sometimes you gotta call it!

Great Surf 🤙
I miss surfing so much! I used to surf all the time in the West of Ireland, but there's no waves at all in Germany 😔
I made this to explore more beach designs and I'm also pretty obsessed with fantasy creatures rn.

Karlach
I'm honestly still undecided about my favorite #BG3 character. Karlach is just so cool and fun to have in your party. I think she's actually been in my party the longest by far. She's just our adhd queen <3

Ever since I watched Scavenger's Reign I've been itching to animate something alien and mechanical.
I imagined this as an ancient god and the locals produced this absurd machine to allow the god to walk on land.

I am very hungover today, which sucks, but I still finished up this practice piece. I was listening to the @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social podcast and really got into the flow state with this. Two hours just blinked by and I think it produced something cool.

Warm Up #10
I'd actually love to try and be a model for a life drawing class sometime. Looks intimidating, but also so cool and artsy. Plus just cool to get comfortable being nude.
For this piece I focused on perspective and took the colours from a La La Land scene.

I wasn't super happy with the story of Tears of the Kingdom, but dam we were also spoiled with this one. I lost over 200 hours and easily could've played 100 more. It's still one of my favorite game worlds.

Bryce Quinlin
I'm really obsessed with the Crescent City books right now. It's the perfect mix of sci-fi and fantasy. I had to try a character design for Bryce and I'm definitely going to try more. Obviously Hunt will be next.
