An East Asian elven lady warrior wielding purple magical fire. She is standing in a temple in the skies during dusk with a dark purple dragon in the background.

A dragon elf lady mage who's holding a golden star. The background is a dark starry sky with a moon. Just behind her are abstract sea waves with gold. The character is wearing a dark blue dress and has white hair.

A dark haired dragon elf male warrior wearing dark armor and wielding a sword. The background is a sun eclipse. Just behind him are red and purple wisps of fire.

A painting of a horned goddess figure holding a dagger and piercing her hand and her heart. Surrounding the image are golden intricate borders. She is wearing a purple and pink toned armor suit and has dark red hair with golden locks. Behind her is a statue with tons of reaching hands, all set in gold.

It's my birthday! Huzzah! 🥳🍰🎉
Y'know what I'd like?
Quote repost with HOW YOU DRAW DWARFS!

A unit of a lad. The dwarfest dwarf ever.

A big ol' dwarf door in a big ol' dwarf hold.

A part of dwarfs adventures across the mountains, heading to another hold.

Rather mad looking dwarfs forge a powerful weapon on their anvil.

HOT FRESH NEW ART! Another from Champions of Chaos, for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound, this is the Putrid Blightking!

The Putrid Blightking has sores and lesions across his diseased and bloated form, pustules and maggots erupting from his vile flesh. His right arm is a mass of writhing, slimy, barbed and boil-ridden tentacles, and in his left hand he wields a sonorous tocsin.

One day I'm going to make some absolutely sick monsters for a horror game and it's going to be the biggest flop of all time omg such a trainwreck of sheer incompetence and internal politics it will give drama youtubers content for years on end.

Chase your dreams 🖤🖤🖤

After countless millennia of waiting, at last the Exalted One hath descended from His Throne in the Heavens, His divine voice gracing us with but one question:

"Wouldst thou partake with Me in these chimken nuggies?"

Doth thou dare accept His gracious blessing?

Billy from my class told me he found an actual human corpse in the woods behind the school and asked me to go and see it.

I didn't want to go, as gran told me those woods are old, and full of bad things...

Billy hasn't come to class today. I hope he didn't get lost...

Reposting some older art now bsky is a lot more alive!

This is still one of my personal favorites, and honestly, once inspiration strikes, I should do way more of these old faux movie poster/VHS covers!
Honestly the most fun part was getting to research 80s horror graphic design!

"So is it true you're adopted, Jenny?"
"Yeah, very much so, my aunt and uncle took me in when I was just a baby."
"Woah, so you never knew your real parents then?"
"Well, my dad has been in prison ever since, but as a matter of fact I still see my mom every night..."

The illustration portrays a children's room at night, viewed from the eyes of a child. It's slightly dilapidated and the curtains are being moved by a soft breeze. In the corner of the room there's the dark, massive figure of a crooked and misshapen woman, whose face is cast in shades, besides her glowing eyes.

After years of the case going cold, the bodies of Jackie, Jacqueline and Jackson were finally uncovered, buried in the local pumpkin patch.
Now every year around Halloween, foul pumpkins grow there, stinking of rot and pus. Some even say they can hear them moan in agony at night.

Watching HBO's 'The Penguin' inspired me to draw my own take on one of my personal favorite Batman rogues: Oswald Cobblepot.
I did my best to make him look as unlikeable and gross as possible, I like to imagine he smells like fish and extremely cheap cologne.
