Some more of my ink art from a couple years ago

#artwork #originalart #myart #fantasyart #monsterart #creaturedesign #fantasy #monster #ink #ttrpgart
An ink drawing of a fantasy monster. It is a lumbering bipedal creature with a forward-leaning posture, very long arms and huge three-fingered hands. Its legs are stumpy and end with three-toed, clawed feet. Its skin is covered in large scales and its back has two files of spikes. The head is long and triangular, with a huge mouth filled with small sharp teeth. An ink drawing of a fantasy monster. It is similar to a frog, though its paws are more similar to a lizard's and its face has a long triangular, almost beak-like snout. A long, barbed, prehensile tongue comes out of its open mouth. The back is covered in boils. The creature is perched on a rock and there's a human skull besides it, which makes the creature appears roughly the size of a person. Ink drawing of a monstrous creature. The creature is quadrupedal and sitting or lying in a way similar to a lion or a dog. Its head features a human-like face, with hollow orbits veiled by membranes of skin; in place of cheeks, it has holes on the sides of its head revealing the teeth inside. Its head is crowned by a bony frill or plate. The creature has bony protrusions from its shoulder and elbows, and its skin is hairless, with a very wrinkly neck. It holds a human skull and bones between its forelimbs.

A nice big lizard. I gotta finish painting some lizardman friends for him.
The model is a 'Hornslasher' from Reaper, mounted on a 50mm round base.

Another little painting from 3 years ago!
Look, he's so happy!

An acrylic painting of a monster's head. The monster is lipless and baring its teeth; it has a somewhat triangular skull developing in two ridged horns that end in blunt stumps. It has no eyes, and instead of a nose it has six nostril-like fissures coming up from its mouth. The center of its skull features two prominent concentric rings, similar to a crater or a church's rose window.

A lizardman warrior I drew a couple years ago!

An ink drawing of a lizardman character. The lizardman is standing in some undergrowth, flicking their tongue, holding a crude axe-like weapon in one hand and a plank shield in the other.

One of my first acrylic works. Improvised directly with brush on canvas without as much as a doodle in a sleepless night; it's messy but I still like it!

#artwork #painting #acrylicpainting #originalart #myart #monster #creaturedesign #alien #darkart #horror
Acrylic painting of a monstrous prowling creature emerging from a black background. The creature walks on four legs and has a long tail. Its chest and abdomen look ribbed, with prominent spinal bone spurs on its back. It has a grinning or growling lipless face with no features save for nostril-like fissures above its mouth; the back of the head features a huge bony plate or frill, itself covered in rib-like ridges.

Some very normal dogs I made for Mordheim. And also other dogs.

A scratch-built siege tower for miniature wargaming. Build mostly out of thick cardboard, with some touches of greenstuff putty and string.

Acrylic painting I made last autumn.
There's things I'd change and things I'd do better, but I'm still moderately proud with it.

Hello people. I'm new here and it's hard to decide what to post first; I thought this thing I drew back in 2023 might be a good first impression. I only did these few flags back then, hopefully more to come!
#dragons #artwork #originalart #traditionalart #ink #markers #lgbtqia+ #prideflags
A drawn picture of four dragons, each with a pride flag next to it and using the flag's colours as its colour scheme. Top left is a four-legged dragon with wings, rearing up, with the orange-pink lesbian flag underneath; the dragon has similar tones of pink on its scales and orange on its wings' membranes, and off-white scales on its underbelly. Top right is a four-legged wingless dragon, with the seven-stripes gay men flag to its side. The dragon has a jade green crest, a dark green back and face and paws, light blue sides, and a beige underbelly. Bottom left is a serpentine, four-legged, wingless dragon, with a hairy mane and fur along its back and on its tail, and with the transgender pride flag beneath it. The dragon is pink on its face, sides and shoulders, light blue on its fur, and beige on its underbelly and paws. Bottom right is a two-legged winged dragon, rearing up in flight with its wings spread open, and with the bisexual pride flag beneath it. The dragon has lavender pink stripes on its underbelly; the rest of its body and the membranes of its wings are magenta in the upper half, and blue in the lower half.
