I think I’ll do some exploration of what my new character’s everyday life during his ~500 years of solitude in the forest.

Quick illustration of my new DnD character. The previous one finally died after being revived twice.
Gonna try going with a more stylized, lineart heavy art style like this from now on. It’s quicker and feels more satisfying for me.

Did the artist figure anti-AI trend thingy (probably way too late).
No timelapse for this one cause it would be a mess.

Quick (2,5 hours, I’m slow af) Totoro background painting study + brush testing.
I’ve been feeling tense when trying to draw people recently and this helped chill out a bit. I also like how it turned out.

Some stylized portrait studies(??)
I really need to figure out a more stylized/simplified style because I want to do some animated stuff (and quicker works)

The specific statue I used as a reference is Ferdinando Adreini’s Nymph.

Also, longer timelapse because BlueSky allows it now!! 🎉🎉
At first, I wanted to do a more dynamic pose but then went with one inspired by classical statues.

Back from the dead with LadyDevimon!
I’ll start practicing female anatomy because I realised I drew 1 female character in the past ~6 years.
This turned into a 20 hour painting, but I’ll try to pump out quicker sketches from now on.

Finally finished the human version of Guk, the “goblin” gunslinger. 🔫
Planned to be a quick illustration, turned into a 20 hour piece 😬

Some of these I first met through adaptations, but still, these were probably the four most fundamentally formative comics for me. #comicsdna

Another DnD character.
Javi Talandro, half-orc way of mercy monk, friend of the earlier phantom rogue I drew.
Gave him a coat inspired by traditional Hungarian coats called “szűr” cause it looks cool.
