Got all the base gradients in, and now I get to plan the magic and directional lighting. Then its all fun details from there. ♥

I love doin a re-draw, and its a good way to ease out of an art block. So dragon mom re-draw it is! ♥ I still love the original, but she's almost a decade old now!

Was doodling some mermaid concepts today and couldnt get tiny Essek Thelyss out of my head 💜

What kind of tiny wizard shenanigans do you think he got up to?

Here's the Fjord evil AU piece timelapse!

This one went through way more decisions and changes during painting than the first two. I wanted these 3 evil AU pieces to be a triptych of sorts, and mesh well next to each other, and a big sea god just didnt fit in the background like I wanted.

Fjord - Hand of the Great Leviathan

Evil AU art of Fjord, had he pledged himself fully to his patron Uk’otoa, unlocked the serpent, and went on an absolute rampage across the Lucidian ocean starting with Darktow.

Finished sword design inspired by a fanart by BlackSalander over on twitter. ♥

Reblogging my fire son ♥

Caleb Widogast - The Butcher of Rexxentrum

Evil AU art of Caleb (Bren) if he was neutral evil, met Essek while he was a full scourger, and instead of healing each other, fed into their darkness and conspired to remove the rest of the Assembly and Kryn elite from their way.

This piece got shared over on DeviantArt’s twitter, so I thought Id share her again here. Still my #1 lady ♥

Angel of the Night, Demona of the Wyvern Clan.

My first post of 2022 and Im so happy! Gargoyles holds a really special place in my heart, and I really wanted to do a solid piece of my favorite vengeful lady. ♥

Got some nice progress on Fjord today in the art stream! Both lights blocked in, the tattoo in and the water started. Still a lot to do but should be done next week!

I have decided that Ill be stopping with Evil Caduceus for just the 4 of them. Already done an evil Molly technically, and I have some pieces planned for the ladies later. But dont wanna push myself back into burnout mode ;D

Hi there! I'm curious, what type of digital art software do you use, and what kind of device do you draw on? These are gorgeous!!

Heya! Im so glad you enjoy the art!

I use Clip Studio Paint, and I paint on a Huion Kamvas Pro 24". I prefer a display device, but I also enjoy using a Wacom Intuos Pro, depending on where Im painting.

Thanks all that stopped by the art stream today. I loved chatting, and I got all the sky lighting pass done today for evil Fjord. Tomorrow I'm starting on the direct lighting and really getting into it. :D

do you do commissions? :0

Unfortunately not any more. I went through a massive 3 year long burn out after my last job, so I had stopped them permanently cuz I couldn't guarantee i could work on them. I pulled back from social media and stopped posting for a while.

Im feeling much better now, so Im back to creating, but im just taking it easy now. Doin the 'what I want when I want' approach to art. Keeping it light so I dont burn out on my own.

I may not go back to commissions, but honestly Id love to eventually offer YCH (your character here auctions) or even request streams in the future, but Id announce those here and twitter well before theyd open.

PS: I know a bunch of my old clients still follow me and I just wanna say I miss you guys. I had some fantastic people commission me over the years and it was the funnest years of my art life for sure. ♥

#artofcarmen #text #ask #anonymous #anon #commissions #also this is why I have a weird jump in the painting quality in my work #I just wasnt posting so suddenly it felt like I came back with a different style #lol I had just been painting those years for work and grew to love it

I wont be able to maintain this art momentum, I've been a 4-6 paintings a year kinda gal. But im going to ride this inspiration wave as long as I can!

My general goal this year is 1 painting a month, but really go wild on them with stuff I enjoy like fanart and environments. Just drawin whatever I want and hope people enjoy.
