Digital drawing of a dragon, only its head and neck visible. Its head and neck are covered in sharp, dark blue scales; it has two blue horns pointing backward, and its eye is orange-red. In the background, you can see the evening sky with clouds on either side and the sun shining just below the dragon's chin. Digital drawing of a dragon (head and neck only) looking directly at the camera. Its body is covered in red scales. Its chest is covered in light brown plates. The right eye is orange, while the left eye is bluish and has four scars. It has one blue horn and another pale blue horn that appears to have been shaved. It has a golden mane. Its nose is dark blue, and it has a pair of visible fangs. An orange light comes from the bottom left. The sky is dark blue, and some orange clouds that look like fire can be seen in the background.

The knight

I wrote a short tale recently, and I decided to draw the protagonist with the ambience in which he lives.

Can you guess in what this character and world is inspired?

A human figure wearing a horned, gray mask, similar to an animal skull, only his green eyes visible. He is also wearing a dark cloak and holding a dagger. He is standing on a rocky path, in a misty, mountainous landscape mainly of dark blue color.

It turns out I have one print left of each of these, and a low number of others.

Photo of the Day: sleepy Northern Elephant seal

All photos on the repository are free-to-use for artists creating derivative/transformative works (sans AI).
A close up on the head and front flipper of a juvenile northern elephant seal. It is laying on its side in the sand, head raised, scratching one eye with its front flipper. The light quality is such that it appears to have been taken at sunset

A dark grainy black and white scene. A dark, spiked mast set against a maelstrom of swirling matter. in the sky, a moody moon radiates into the abstract storm.

Working on invertebrate #paleoart at the moment, knowing I'm probably making mistakes despite best efforts, consulting primary literature etc. Inverts are much like fossil plants: there are few accessible resources on their appearance so we must wing it, or go down deep rabbit holes to restore them.

Old monster from my teens: Okinakuma

Originally my entry to a kaiju context for Godzilla: Heritage, the concept for Okinakuma was a mutation of anomalous origin that mimics a whale at a distance until disturbed.
It'd freeze or boil the water to subdue prey.
My earliest take on Okinakuma, dark bear-like body covered in humpback whale-like bumps, and a white calcified head whose lips split to reveal predatory jaws. A later take on Okinakuma, with scalier limbs and nasty jaws revealed. Close-up side profile of Okinakuma's head, lips split as it roars to the sky.

I've wanted to revisit an old critter concept of mine for a while - Nightjabbers. Small, skinny things that come out on the full moon in hordes of hundreds, attacking anything in sight for a few hours before going back to their lair. Just a sketch for now, will develop later.

I have been writing a new novel. It will be very short. It is titled "The pale mask"

One of these days, I will share an illustration inspired by the main character of this story. I hope you guys like it.

Also, you will see immediately in what the story and the character is inspired, I think.

👁️ need some work, anyone want a drawing?

inquire here: toothandbranch.com#COMMISSIONS
Digital illustration of a spectral dragon bust (neck and head) with a metallic helmet forming the top half of its head. Its eye glows red, and ribbons of the same vibrant colour spill from beneath the mask, twirling decoratively around the subject. The dragon has a wispy mane of ghostly tendrils flowing around it. In the background, the morning sunrise shines over low hanging clouds. A great beast lurks in the lightless depths of the sea. Here it is met by a comparatively miniscule submarine which catches part of creature's coiling form. Emerging from the darkness above that is the beast's head; its blank eyes glow teal. Its mouth has opened just enough to reveal rows of needle-like teeth. Digital coloured sketch, a portrait of an anthro crow, facing left. The crow has yellow-orange eyes, purple crest feathers, and a spattering of lilac gem-shaped freckles. The character's expression is chipper and their one visible eye glints with a twinkle. Digital illustration; a portrait of a woman with pink hair, looking over her shoulder at the viewer, as a spectral teal hand hovers in front of her face. Both the hand and face are a digital display, distorted by a screen-like texture. She wears a large disc earring, which flashes as it captures a beam of light. Under her right eye is a spade tattoo.

Coming from the mists

#Art #Creature
Digital drawing of a huge creature emerging from the clouds on a plain, with two mountains in the background. The waning moon is visible in the sky. The creature is a Silo: a quadrupedal animal with long, pointed legs, a long, thick neck, large, spiky horsehair on its back, a thin, pointed face, red eyes, and a thin tail with a large tuft at the end. The drawing is mostly in varying shades of a dark, opaque blue, except for the creature's eye, which is red.
