"Don't go into the forest by yourself, young wolf. There be strange things lurking between the trees... The spirits are gone, and in their place... are these things."
Demons between threes, dark things hiding in the shadows, trees that aren't trees...
Dark things are coming.

"'Beware the Zara', people will tell you. 'Beware the Damned, lest they drag you to the still waters of the Black Sea.' What if I told you, this world hides things even more ancient and fearsome than those slimy creatures? Beware the Zara, yes, but beware those who destroy them."
I was looking forward to tackling this one! You can fully expect to see creatures of similar design in Pale Blood, especially in the Zara and anything concerning the Sorrow. Eldritch creatures will mak...

Hello!
It's this time of year again, time to do the Inktober challenge! As always, I will go at this challenge differently from most people; instead of doing it traditionally with inks, I use the prompts in order to practice grayscale speedpainting.
I have a specific plan for this year's Inktober prompts, and that is to explore very different themes from what I usually do. I'm talking about darker subjects, more experimental things. We'll see how this goes as the month goes on! 2019-09-29 22:06:26 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi!
I've been working a lot on landscapes and nature paintings as of late, and decided to show you guys some of what I've done recently! I wish to rework my portfolio and actually make it reflect what I know I can do, and the first aspect I wanted to work at were landscapes.
The forest shots are based on pictures I've been finding, usually I keep those for inspiration, and the one with the rocks is based on a screenshot from God of War, because the landscapes in this game are trul...

Lately I have been working a lot more on landscapes and the like to refine my portfolio, and this comic is a great incentive to work on different types of forests. All through the comic, we'll be seeing misty forests devoid of life like this one, lively autumn forests with many colours and lights, magical forests with glowing shrooms, plants and insects, and ancient forests filled with cobwebs and creepy crawlies... This'll be fun!
I hope you enjoy this page! Our friend is realizing tha...

This page was very fun to work on, as always I love painting trees and while I'm used to painting brighter forests, this darker palette is definitely interesting to work with!
I hope you enjoy this page!

This is an illustration commission for a friend, of her character Umbra resting comfortably in the nook of a tree in a cozy, quiet forest.
I absolutely loved working on this (as you know I love forests) and am very happy with the result! Painting quiet, comfortable pieces like this is a relaxing thing on its own, and though the amount of roots to paint can be intimidating at first, it becomes automated when you do start putting in the colours. The moss and leaves are sugar on top, as we...

And here it finally is! The cover page to Beast of Heimin!
Now that this cover page is done, hopefully I can get a better speed to draw out the pages, and I will be able to post what I currently have online on other websites. The comic will go on deviantArt, Fur Affinity, Tapas and Webtoons!
As far as this cover goes, I am very pleased with how it came out! A simple symetrical composition that showcases the main characters, with some hidden hints to things at play thrown in. It wa...

Hello!
So sorry for the lack of posting lately! I'm hard at work on the refined sketches of Pale Blood, so pages for Beast of Heimin and other illustrations have been slow, but to compensate, here are the first five pages of Pale Blood, in their sketched form! As of posting this, I'm nearly done refining the first chapter. When it's done, I'll spend a bit of time focussing on illustrations and Beast of Heimin.
Here is another update for Beast of Heimin: a WIP of the cover page! Yo...

In a distant and quiet grove guarded by decayed statues and stones, a corpse seemingly rests and merges with the soil, serving as a home to a very strange squirrel... until it awakens.
I had been looking forward to painting these coming few pages, I finally get to draw Beast in his still sleepy glory!

And now we are in the first chapter of the story for Beast of Heimin Sanctum! I hope you enjoyed the story prologue with a lot of dialogue, because now we're diving into silent forests and misty glades... I thouroughly enjoyed working on this page, I don't draw enough misty forests and now I discovered how much I love it.
I have yet to do the cover page for chapter 1, but you should expect to see it soon!

And here we have the final page of the short prologue to Beast of Heimin Sanctum! Next pages I will upload will be the first chapter, which is still in the works but advancing quite nicely.
I hope you'll enjoy this story!

Very happy with how this page came out! Mostly in the little details, like the library in the bottom panels, the rendering on Hati, Barak and Sionach, I'm just happy with it!
One more page to go for this prologue!
I hope you enjoy!

Now this page, it was an absolute joy to work on, as well as a really nice challenge. I rarely do full pages like that with no panels and still having multiple scenes in it, so I'm very happy with how it came out! It was a good challenge, and I learned a lot from it!
I hope you enjoy it!

Here we have the third page of the prologue!
I personally enjoyed working on this page a lot, from the composition of it to rendering the weird gooey texture of the ravens.

Page 2 of the prologue for Beast of Heimin Sanctum!
I personally enjoyed working on this page, it went through a lot of revisions through its making with the arrangement of the panels to the action of the characters in them but in the end I'm very happy with the final result.
I hope you like it!

This project has been in the works for a while already, but I am very excited to be able to show the first pages of the prologue to you guys! Of course, you folks on Patreon will get to see all the pages in advance over everyone else. So far I have the whole prologue finished, and a bunch of other pages started in the first chapter of the story, so you should expect a somewhat frequent upload ...

Hello!
This is another illustration for Bound Fates that I have been working on for a good while now! I kept being distracted with other things while making it, so I am particularly happy to have been able to finish it!
Now this image actually has a lot of lore involved into understanding what it means, and for that we have to go back to what Pale Ones like Artur have to do, what they are made to do, and that is to become King, or Queen. The cycle of life and dea...

Hello!
I finally finished this illustration! It took a while because I kept getting busy with other things, but in the end I must say I am very happy with the results! I had a blast working on those fur textures and tried out a new technique I wanted to try, and it worked really well, so expect to see more detailed fur in future works like this!
I am currently working on both Bound Fates and Beast of Heimin pages, and you can expect to see a breakdown of this illustration pretty s...

Hello guys!
This is it! I've started refining the initial sketches I had of the first pages of Pale Blood, this is the stage where I add details where there was once only scribbles and vague nonesense, as well as rework some of the panels. After finishing the storyboard for all the pages, it's nice to come back to the beginning with fresh eyes! Below you'll find the other two pages I have so far, as well as another WIP for the illustration of Artur on a throne, just to show the progress...

Commission for a client over on Discord!
This one was very challenging for me because of the subject, I'm not too used to drawing humans or even market streets, but in the end I'm quite happy with the result! I'll definitely have to experiment with the subject in the future though.

Hey guys!
Sorry for the long silence in here, I've been pretty busy finishing up the storyboard phase of the first volume of Bound Fates, and I can now safely say that this phase is over! All the pages are now sketched up and the dialogue written, so now the next phase is to refine all of it. You can see a little preview of one of the ending pages up here, just to see how I storyboard these pages. Just loose sketches to let me know which character is where. I hope you're as hyped for th...

Here is the second page for The Gift!
This one was reall enjoyable to work on, especially working on Artur, his expressions and the way he moves. I was trying to capture his child innocence and excitement for finding that salamander, as well as Mask's obliviousness to said excitement, so it was a nice experience!
I hope you enjoy!

More promo art for Pale Blood!
This one was very interesting to do, because of how simple I wanted the background to be. It forced me to make the foreground more interesting, which is where I got the idea of putting all these ghostly shapes in Artur's open wing, completely transforming it into something else. He carries them with him, these crystallized shadowy things, and he's probably the only one who can see or feel them, latching on to his hand as he grows. The life and death of a P...

Winter weather isn't leaving anytime soon, so I thought I'd cheer myself up by finishing a nice summer-y picture! Experimenting with lighting and shadow effects too, as well as practicing some more water surfaces. It's a lot of fun and I'm learning a lot!

This particular one was quite tricky, but oh so fun to work on. The character design has so much going on, it was intimidating at first but once the colours started appearing I felt more comfortable with it as I went on. In the end I'm very satisfied with it!

"I awoke on the shore, on a warm summer morning. The water, cold, gently caressed my face, and I found I had not the strength to stop it. The rays of the sun falling through the leaves upon me were of a familiar warmth, yet so unknown. I had laid like this before, in another time perhaps, in another place…
My eyes opened, like a torn curtain fluttering in the wind. The light. The sensations of the water on my face. The warmth of the sun. The coolness of the shade. The gra...
