Joan in the Garden

#art #artsky #illustration #digitalart #joanofarc #thedecemberists
A young woman sits at the center of a surreal scene. She is flanked by two angelic beings bearing golden weapons and each with only one wing. One is red with a spear, the other is opalescent and pale bearing a noble sword. Around the girl a flower garden unfolds into an apocalyptic scene, with buildings burning as far as the eye can see. A floating skull with bright glowing eyes hovers over her under a glowing white crown. It spills blood from it's open mouth that fades into the bright golden halo that surround the girl's head. In her lap sleeps a lamb, and before them both in the grass rests the glinting blade of a longsword.

Seahorse Dragon

#art #artsky #fantasyart #dragon #dragons #dragonart #seahorse
A majestic purple and pink dragon with seahorse-like aquatic anatomy rests proudly upon a verdant mountain top amidst and colorful sunset. It clutches an opalescent object in one claw, and stares off into the distance with knowing blue eyes.

Rift Ripper

#art #artsky #fantasy #illustration #digitalart #rift #portal #magic
A lithe woman with short red hair and black clothing leaps through a shimmering portal, sword at the ready, led by a glowing blue thread that extends from her right hand. The edges of the portal grow rainbow crystals that break apart into stars at the edges, and behind the woman, through the portal, can be seen green hills, a blue sky, and white stone ruins.

The Drowned

#art #artsky #rain #rivers #skulls
A twisted and gnarled tree is suspended by sprawling roots amid a tumultuous river and a torrent of rain. Beneath the waves can be seen a deep dark depth with a pair of skulls being pulled along by the current.

Thank you for hosting!
Here's my most recent painting and then a few others from my One Piece series, since I haven't shared those in a while.

Now for my other favorite Stormlight character, artist and illusionist, Shallan.

#art #artsky #conceptart #digitalart #stormlight #stormlightarchive #brandonsanderson #cosmere
A bright young woman with red orange hair and clear blue eyes sits at a desk before a window flanked by purple draperies embroidered with golden heraldry. A crescent moon can be seen outside amid the colors of a sunset sky. The woman, wearing a blue dress of practical, yet wealthy make, holds a purple crystal sphere in one hand, whose shards of violet light are cast against her gloved hand and freckled face. Her other hand holds a pencil and sketches the sphere alongside many other specimens. Behind her is a pair of bookshelves stocked with thick volumes bound in various colors, while more spheres of varying colors cast their light upon the desk where they lay.

Kaladin with Syl.

#art #artsky #digitalart #fantasy #stormlight #stormlightarchive #thewayofkings #wordsofradiance #brandonsanderson
A man in a blue uniform stands in the rain with a cold expression upon his face. His hair barely covers a slave's brand upon his forehead and his eyes glow with an otherworldly blue light. In one hand he holds a spear, and above the other floats the glowing form of a fae-like being resembling a young woman in a dress. Behind the pair, through the falling rain, can be seen a purple moon.

Gluttonous Hellblade

#art #artsky #digitalart #conceptart #fantasyart #fantasy #illustration #knights #swords #armor
A massive burning hot blade is thrust through the plate mail of an unfortunate knight. A molten spew of flaming material explodes from the wound and is absorbed into the blade in a dizzying spiral.

Exultation

#art #digitalart #illustration #fantasyart #fantasy #nature
A shaft of light from above illuminates the twisted forms of two figures. One lays upon its back, a corpse, desecrated and covered in thick vines, tunnelling into the body at every opportunity. A sword rests in the corpse's palm. Above the body looms the second figure. A broad shouldered, masculine thing of dense wooden bark, faceless, with numerous branches sprouting from its back. In its hands is held a glowing green heart. It is unclear if it is returning the heart to the corpse below, or removing it entirely. However, the ritualistic nature of the event is clear in the wooden thing's reverent posture, and the way it seems to gaze up at the warm light above.

Crested Mirigwen. I love treating fantasy creatures like real animals that could actually exist somewhere.

#art #artsky #digitalart #conceptart #fantasyart #fantasy #illustration #dragon #dragons #wyvern
A black and yellow wyvern, snake-like in the face and sporting a pointed yellow crest upon its head, crouches poised upon the branch of a tree overlooking a dense hilly region covered in green vegetation. More of its kind soar in the blue sky beyond.

Cruenopterus. Inspired by beloved ancient radiodonts like anomalocaris, but twisted into a fantastical sea monster.

#art #artsky #digitalart #conceptart #fantasyart #fantasy #illustration #monster #seamonster
A giant turquoise colored arthropod with red accented shells and frills floats among a school of passing pink jellyfish. The creature sports wing-like arms tipped with sharp talons and a thick tail terminating in a long, deadly stinger. Light flitters down upon the scene from the sun above, refracted by distant ocean waves.

Here's my most recent painting, plus a few older favorites. I love painting creatures and fantasy scenes most of all.

An inept monster hunter lays upon his back in the mud of a rainy forest, sword held desperately up against a whiskered grey monster with four golden yellow eyes. The beast looks eager, holding its claws up, ready to pounce and claim its victim.

Obraluk, Dragon of Avarice

#art #artsky #digitalart #conceptart #fantasyart #fantasy #illustration #dragon #dragons
The tiny figure of a man stands alone upon a stone walkway extending forward towards the imposing maw of a massive creature. The maw, placed where the chest should otherwise be, explodes a constant stream of blazing fire, swallowing the base of the platform. A quad set of smoking nostrils are set around the clavicles, and beyond that, where one would expect a head, blooms a toothy frill, beset with a single golden eye. The beast's arms extend out as if directing it's flame. It's claws and forearms crusted with molten gold, which covers much of the creature's body. Even its strange "wings" which seem to grow like tree branches tipped with hands, flow with the same molten stream as they stretch outward into the dark.

Thank you for the opportunity. Here's some of my own favorites, including my most recent Stormlight inspired piece, which I just finished yesterday and am especially proud of.

Shardbearer. Inspired by the Stormlight Archive books series, by Brandon Sanderson.

#art #artsky #stormlight #stormlightarchive #thewayofkings #wordsofradiance #oathbringer #rhythmofwar #windandtruth #brandonsanderson #cosmere
A figure in gleaming armor of otherworldly craftsmanship stands alone upon a barren plain of jagged stone. In their right hand shines a long and sinuous blade, forming from mist and dripping with condensation. The blade and the armor reflect the blue sky above, and off in the distance can be seen a waiting army, flying red banners, standing in anticipation of a conflict soon to begin.

Veins of Gold. My rendition of a scene from a chapter of the same name in The Wheel of Time book series.

#art #artsky #digitalart #conceptart #fantasyart #fantasy #landscapeart #illustration #characterart #sunrise #thewheeloftime #wheeloftime #wot #randalthor #rand #robertjordan #brandonsanderson
A man gazes into the warm light of a new dawn. The glowing golden sun paints his face yellow against the dim purple gloom of the fading night, revealing tears and a contented look of relief and understanding. The man wears an embroidered coat open to the wind, revealing a sword upon his belt, which itself is affixed with a dragon shaped belt buckle. One of the coat's sleeves flutters emptily, suggesting that the man is missing much of his left arm. In his right hand is the remnants of a crumbling figure, dissipating in embers of bluish energy as it falls away. Behind him can be seen cold mountains and dark clouds. The man stands upon the highest peak in all the realm, and has just experienced a moment of enormous personal growth and change.

The Tower of Ghenjei, from The Wheel of Time

#art #artsky #digitalart #fantasyart #fantasy #illustration #bookillustration #wheeloftime #thewheeloftime #wot #robertjordan #brandonsanderson
A massive tower of unblemished, reflective metal rises into a blue sky from a verdant hill of grass, trees, and rocks. The colors of the world are reflected in the tower's perfect sheen, as is the white glare of the midday sun.

Kwen, The Silver Talon

#art #artsky #digitalart #conceptart #fantasyart #fantasy #illustration #birds #eagle #falcon #hawk
A giant silver-feathered bird of prey soars above an expanse of land, complete with forests, grasslands, rivers, and mountain peaks. The bird has yellow and blue eyes and a black patch of feathers on its head, with a single larger feather extending off the back resembling a sort of top knot hairstyle. It's talons are open and prepared for violence.

A small bipedal animal called a slika ears a large red fruit by a river. It has a bright green head with red spikes and round yellow eyes beside a beaked mouth, revealed by a lifting flap of skin. It has a large, scaly frill and blue and orange limbs tipped with bright sky-blue claws.

Restoration

#art #digitalart #fantasyart #fantasy #illustration #magic #birds
A wounded knight lays bleeding in the grass on a gloomy day. A slight hand, glowing green with magic, gently touches the bloody wound, causing it to bubble with energy, healing the damage as the forms of tiny birds sprout from the wound and flutter in the air above.

Arjen, Beastbreaker

#art #fantasyart #digitalart #alligator #crocodile
A muscular older man with silver hair and silver armor fights with a trio of crocodile-like animals while waist deep in splashing brown water. His right hand grips a spear, which is thrust firmly through one of the creature's heads, while the powerful grip of his left hand forces another back, shattering multiple teeth in the process as blood sprays from its throat.

Erasmus, from the Dune prequels.

#art #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #dune
Erasmus, a metallic humanoid machine with a highly reflective flow metal body, stands amid his garden. His face is a perfect mirror, and reflects the fragile form of an insect perched upon his bloodied hand. In his other blood-stained hand is a fine old book. He wears shimmering golden robes and behind him can be seen the vast, imposing architecture of his estate. A pair of floating drones with spy cameras float around him waiting to be dispatched.
