Fumigator

This was the first really successful 'stylized' design I made. This is for a personal project I've been meaning to make, but I feel like my tastes in stylized work have adjusted a lot since, it'd be interesting to see how I'd tackle it nowadays.

Here's a couple more refs I've used, some for angles, posture or trying to understand lighting a bit more

Remember, it's okay to use 3D programs and whatever other method you can to help you with your artwork

Sometimes I have really complicated shapes or angles that I just won't replicate well without some kind of maquette. It's not cheating, it's thinking smarter 👍

Conifer Cutter

Looking back at some old work and came across this fan art plant motif sword and shield set I made for Monster Hunter.

I still like the conker shield tbh.

It's #Earthday so here's some animal art to remember what beautiful life needs preserving on our little blue orb

Creature Comparative Anatomy

One thing that made creature anatomy a lot easier to understand when I was starting out, was learning how similar a lot of the internal structures were. Just largely in different positions and proportions

Was almost tempted to add these two for their 'shit eating grin energy'
