#BG3 #illithid #illithidoc #mindflayer #mindflayeroc #ocsky #D&D #digitalart

Digital comic style drawing of the Emperor from BG3 floating over a cobblestone ledge; portals around him open as versions of him from cyberpunk, steampunk, desert apocalypse and Lovecraftian universes join his side. The sky is overcast in red with the silhouettes of nautiloids in the clouds, and ember sparks float in the air.

Digital drawings with 4 mind flayers, one looking futuristic and cybernetic, another in a suit, top hat and brassy mantle. A mechanical intellect devourer flies out with him. Another one looking like someone out of the Mad Max series, and the other in a disheveled suit, a mad, haunted look, a ghostly crest and shadowy hands. Behind him is an ominous city with Lovecraftian motifs.

3 digital drawings: left is a brown-skinned mind flayer in elaborate orange robe and messenger pigeons; middle is a dragonborn ink drawing, right is a pirate tiefling with their illithid form.

Image collage of three illustrated scenes.

Left is a low angle POV of a towering, fearsome ulitharid in black and purple armor strides towards a barricade, flanked by armored ulitharids. Two are about to cast something, and the bezerker is charging forward. Behind them are silhouettes of countless illithids. They are all getting shot at, but the bullets/blasts have no effect. Behind them, a lightning storm forms an ominous circle in the sky.

Middle is two illithids composed like Bouguereau's "Abduction of Psyche."

Right is a green skinned mind flayer in an elaborate dress.

Thanks Kai! I’m not sure what big bad evil thing would have all them come together - but I’ve ideas on a myriad of uh…small to moderate-sized bad things in mass. And maybe two big things. Anything’s possible 🥴

Thank you so much! This character (and game) is the reason I got back into art, and has fueled my creativity since. So this was easily a labor of love ❤️

6 variants were originally planned, but I only had time for 4. Hopefully I'll get to the other two next year, and an even more chaotic piece with "everyone...everything...everywhere...all at once." 😉

It is truly a treat to see how fellow artists evolve their craft throughout their journey.

Everyone likes to get together Friday nights in October for horror movie night.

Tonight‘s choice was “The Notebook”. Nosferawwwwtu can’t watch. They hide behind the sofa when the kissing gets too much. 😁👻💀🐇🦑🐈

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing, L to R, of a black cat, my OC Ghost Hare (a glowing ghost with big black eyes and hare ears, who looks a bit like a flapjack octopus, and glows pale green-yellow, because they are a ghost), and Cthulhu sitting on a sofa, watching a movie (or staring at the viewer, but PoV is from the TV screen.
Ghost hare is petting the cat’s stomach, and holding a blue bowl with popcorn on the other side, sharing it with Cthulhu, who is snuggled under his pink bunny blanket. Cthulhu is helping himself to popcorn with his tentacles.
Behind the sofa, on the left, is my OC Nosferawwwwtu, a green-grey creature with very long fingers and strange green fangs, who has one hand over their face, peeking through their fingers.
If you look closely, some of the popcorn is skull shaped.
They are doing Horror Movie Night, and tonight’s movie is “The Notebook”.
The background is dark, and the sofa is dark brown.

We as artists need to uplift one another. Someone's work makes you smile whenever you see it? Tell them so! Your a fan of their style/use of colour/ designs? Let them know!! Artists (especially smaller one's), don't get told often enough that their art means something to someone else.

My morning routine is super important. Like if I don't have enough caffeine and bad news to help me properly catastrophize the rest of the day, I just feel off, you know?

Jossiel was from the time I was into Diablo 3/Immortal. It was more focused on his mother, an angel from the Sin War whose escaped the Realm of Damnation, and made mortal to suppress Skarn's corruption that'd render her a demon. Joss' own "corruption" in-game partly echoes hers.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.
