An idea popped up in my head about a fantasy princess whose family sends her over to this evil warlord ostensibly as a tributary bride, but her real mission is to take the warlord's life on behalf of her kingdom. The story still needs a little more cooking in my brain (and it's one of several story ideas I have competing for my devotion), but I wanted to doodle a possible design for the character anyway.

Have more showing off grillz ! I have prints available for these if you’re interested

In the realms of Consumption, some of the most powerful beings are those that take on the traits and nature of beasts but having accumulated great physical and spiritual mass then become a kind of divine being. A collective avatar for a specific species. These gods exist in the material, but at a distance, as though seen through a haze and carry out their divine lives like any normal creature, but with a supernatural aspect to them.

Art by me!

This is my concept art for a war elephant from some kind of fantasy setting. A lot of the inspiration for its design came from the Egyptian war elephants from the old real-time strategy game Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War.

This time, I've revisited a piece I did nearly a year ago, which was already a redraw itself. The main reason for tackling this piece again is that back in 2025, I was really trying to shift away from my then current style and focus more on stylization, exaggerated proportions, and dynamic posing. There were definitely some growing pains, and I think it showed in the previous version.

For example, Anisa’s abs looked a bit out of place in the 2025 piece because I oversimplified things and didn't give enough muscle definition elsewhere. And while the pose was dynamic, it also felt stiff at the same time. I think I was pushing too hard for dynamism and forgot to make it feel natural. As George Lucas might say, "I may have gone too far in a few places."

With this new piece, I feel like I've found a much better balance between stylization, dynamism, and proportions. It looks natural, and everything just feels right, which I'm really proud of! I hope you all like it!

I am currently working on an illustration

This is a little marker portrait of Sutekh (or Set), the ancient Egyptian god of chaos, storms, and the desert. He is best known for murdering his brother Ausar (Osiris) to usurp his throne and then fighting Ausar's son Heru (Horus).

One of the Main Characters in a series I’m developing called DISMAL. A story about the supernatural mysteries of the Great Dismal Swamp of southern Virginia.

Here’s her Character description:

“The Thicket Witch, Diane. Stay away if you don’t want to drown in the depths of the thicket. This witch is the last of her people who devotes her immortal life to protecting the Great Dismal Swamp. As she unleashes her magic, she appears to age by centuries. Holding the potent Marsh Magic in her body drains her vitality in disturbing and unnatural ways. Yet to Diane, it is worth it to preserve the divine power of the Great Swamp.”
