It's #portfolioday again!

I'm Tam, a freelance Canadian artist 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
I focus mostly on characters and creatures, and use traditional or digital mediums to create my artwork
Here's my portfolio site:
tamvmat.myportfolio.com/work

A human and a dwarf sit at a wooden table in a tavern. Black traditional ink artwork

An ink drawing of a skull with a nautilus living inside

In all seriousness though, thinking about the process involved if someone were to change from human to crab..Endoskeleton to exoskeleton...Would the skin harden and become shell while the skeleton dissolves? Or would the bones expand becoming hollow and meat filled while the flesh rots away
💀😬 Ugh

#art #DarkArt

Digital color illustration in portrait orientation, in aquas, blues, and purples. A humanoid being with four arms and two legs is on hands and knees. They have a horse skull for a head. They have flesh-like branches coming out of their body and chest, extending out beyond the edges of the canvas. Their head is lifted up with their mouth open, and intricate chained necklaces are hanging from their jaws and head. They are kneeling on an endless bed of roots.

I found this in construction site gravel today??
It was very dirty, but I saw a hint of the banding because it was raining. Woah.
