ZA'AXL, Harbinger of the Storm ⚡👹⚡ 4k

here he is, cower before him! a dark god of chaos and lightning, heralding the apocalypse and terrorizing a town. I wonder if this is the same holy city that our buddy Verrix defends? he's got his job cut out for him if so... what can you even do vs this guy!?

hope you guys enjoy all the detail in that townscape. I swear that's my favorite stuff in the world to paint (aside from cocks)!!

sketch: a malevolent god of 👹CHAOS + LIGHTNING⚡

new character!! this is another guy who lives in the Verrix/Sipher fantasy universe. the high-tier patrons got to vote in a poll last month to see which elements this new character would be based off, and they voted for Chaos + Lightning! 

in this world, Chaos is evil and demonic, so we got that as a starter. I thought for a long time about how to marry that with Lightning and decided to make this guy an evil storm god! like Zeus, but if Zeus were a huge horned demon ter...

POLL: help design a new character! (part 2)

part 1 of the poll is complete... and 👹CHAOS👹 has taken the lead for the major element!!! get ready for something twisted and terrifying 😱

now it's time to choose the minor element. Since we've already had a 👹CHAOS+FIRE🔥 pairing before (The Scourgemaster) I will remove FIRE from the list.

vote well!! think about what you want to see... 

WIP: coach dad in the shower 🚿

things are coming along with this one!!! I think you guys are going to like where this ends up. lots of wet fur and suburban bathroom realness. finished painting coming on the 1st...

POLL: help design a new character! (part 1)

mighty celery stalks, I come asking for your help!! I'm thinking about next month's painting and I would like to design an all-new character who lives in Verrix/Sipher's fantasy universe. 

and as we did once before with Reed, we will design this character by choosing which elements they are aligned with! Step one is to choose their major element:
HOLY ✨
CHAOS 👺
LIFE 🍃
DEATH 💀

at the end of this week I'll put up part 2...

Eddie sailing ⛵ painting process!

Somewhere just off the coast at the end of a warm day!

Really enjoyed painting the lighting on this one, I love hot juicy orange/pink colors like that. And I also loved showing Eddie a bit more in his element. In my mind he grew up spending a lot of time on the water and so this is his happy place. Maybe more about that in an upcoming Q&A thread...?? 🤔

I hope you guys like how this one turned out!!

enjoying the waves and the wind and the summer sun 🌞

man, I cant tell you guys how much I've struggled with this drawing up until this point, lol! enough redrawing and revisions and reiterations and tossed ideas to kill a horse (just a figure of speech, I dont want to kill any horses). but, I finally think it's in a place where I like it and I feel confident pushing forward with it! it will be a mad dash to get this fully painted to have it ready for you guys on May 1 but ...

note about this month's painting 📝

passed-out hungover Seamus is almost done! I have a friend visiting me for the next few days so I'll be wrapping the painting up on Sunday night and posting it on here Monday morning, look for it then!! 😎💚

help decide next month's painting!!🎨

mighty celery stalks!! once again I need you! lets decide what the subject of next month's painting will be. I have a few options, all three of which sound great to me, but I would love to hear which YOU guys want to see at this point in time.

all three are very different flavors! now choose!

hungover Seamus - work in progress! 🍀

the struggle has been very real trying to figure out this back/shoulder anatomy and the angle on the face etc etc 😓😓 but I think I'm finally happy with it!! happy enough. I'll probably change it a million times before the final, haha. but time to move on for now and start painting the details of this very messy apartment the morning after the big st paddy's day party...
