A symbiote absorbing a vampire. Another artwork I painted for Magic the Gathering 'Through the Omenpaths' - 'Aggressive Symbiosis' is the final card title as far as I recall.

Yes. I'm still here. Just right back from a 3 month media pause. Sometimes it's quite healthy. Happy to show you a piece I've done for MTG Spiderman. Thanks for your support!

Had to paint this one within one working day / 8h, because of a lower budget. Pretty rushy but fun nonetheless! Done for @archvillaingames
Thanks to my AD Thomas! @thomas.elliott.art
Have a great weekend everybody!

This is a really old piece I painted just for fun once. Only used a soft round soft brush. Just because. Has some Nurgle vibes though.
