Congratz Myr! 14K is a big ass number!

I'm Hampus and I do art for videogames during the day, and way cooler fantasy and pathfinder art for my homegames during the night!

Digital painting of a dwarven pirate standing in a storm upon a breaking raft, levitating a black blade in front of him

Digital painting of a halfling black woman. She wears the equipment of an adventurer with a butterfly brooch on her furfed collar and is carrying a starknife in her hand. She stands infront of an upright rock that a group of butteflies have landed on.

Digital painting of a red tiefling woman. She has a muscular build, a wild mane of hair and is facing straight forward while holding a bastard sword in each hand with tips pointing to the ground.

Digital painting of a dhampir woman. She sits on a large pile of skulls with pinkish flames licking up around them. Two large slabs of stone with fillergy stands in the background. The woman herself is clad in large purple and burgundy coloured gown with gold details. She holds a large staff in her left hand and a purple snake is coiled around her right hand.

I've seen remarkable things in my years of chasing, but this scene from my first year remains a favorite. Here, the flanking line of a supercell is painted by the setting Sun, while the very clouds you're looking at cast shadows for miles (seen as anticrepuscular rays near the horizon). #photography

A line of clouds stretches across the frame from center left to center right above a green field. The clouds have a relatively flat base, with the bottom third of them painted a deeply saturated pinkish-orange by the setting Sun (which is out of frame directly behind me). The rest of the clouds are mostly whitish-gray. Between the base of the clouds and the horizon, shadows cast by the clouds extend for miles into the distance, appearing as dark streaks that converge at a point on the horizon.

Congrats! 💜 I'm Gwyn and I draw OCs and fan art ^^

Art of my Elden Ring OC, Grave Goddess Megaera. A leporine woman with amber eyes, long golden hair and purple fingertips dressed in purple, gold and silver. Miniature versions of Base Serpent Messmer’s winged serpents are curled around her hand and head. A spectral winged rabbit flies beside her. Grave Violets and Skeletal Flowers bloom around her.

Art of Revenant from Elden Ring: Nightreign with ghostly skeletal arms around her.

Artwork of my OC, Megaera with Messmer The Impaler from Elden Ring. They are biting into an open pomegranate fruit as its juice flows down Megaera's hand.

Japan's best stop-motion studio isn't loud about it. But the quiet charm of its work speaks for itself.
