Another monster girl, this time from the Scandinavian folklore: the Askafroa, literally "wife of the ash tree", seen as a malicious and dangerous creature that guards old ash trees.

Tiny Worlds - illustration for @sysinacgi.bsky.social discord art challenge.
Little mysterious creatures are exploring the garden and the new plants for the season. Little cat-like caterpillars, fuzzy jellyfish and manta-ray spirits!

Next protagonist of my monster girl series is a Dullahan, legendary creature of the Irish folklore, generally represented as a headless rider or knight carrying their own head. #Dullahan #girlknight #characterdesign #monstergirl #folklore #fantasyart
Made for @sysinacgi.bsky.social art challenge "Embracing Renewal". Growth is hard, often slow and not constant and I wanted to remember that while we change and heal we must look at our past self with understanding and compassion. β¨ #characterdesign #artchallenge #moth #girls #digitalillustration
It's fanart time again and after Scylla, Melinoe and Artemis from Hades 2 it was time for my beloved Nemesis π β¨ ! She is slightly blushing, what did Melinoe said to her?... #hades2 #hadesgamefanart #hades2fanart #nemesis #supergiantgames
Slumber - I wanted to share an old piece. A companion to "Restless" I already posted. This one is too done with watercolors and fineliner on 50x70cm paper π πΏ β¨ #watercolor #fineliner #traditionalart #illustration #painting #nature #plants
Inner Worlds A bit clichè maybe but thinking about this theme I visualize my "inner demons" and what I cling to to remain afloat: love, art, creativity, curiosity... Illustration made for @sysinacgi.bsky.social discord art challenge #artchallenge #cat #innerdemons #characterillustration #digitalart
I have been working on this digital illustration for a while... at first I wanted to contrast the softness of the girl with really hard shadows on the skulls in the background but then I opted for a middle ground. β€οΈ π π #goth #redhair
After my illustration of Medusa I chose to do an harpy as the next monster girl of this series, so here she is! Since I was tired of drawing scales feathers should be easier no? π ... nope...

Congrats πβ¨
What's better than a cute maid? A battle ready maid. It's already the end of shift.. you better run because she is coming to get you.

While I work on some personal illustration I had to take a break and do some fanarts of Hades 2, this time it's Artemis and I really like how she came out!
Already working on Nemesis...
Art block? we don't know her!

thank you! He Is such and interesting character!
Decided to try my hand on @velnna.bsky.social DTIYS (congrats on 200k on ig ) ! I adore his style so I hope I did Absint justice. #MAF2k25 #DTIYS #digitalillustration #artchallenge #drawthisinyourstyle
Last illustration of 2025! Its fanart time again and after Scylla I had to draw Melinoe. I tried a mix between the amazing coloring style of Hades 2 and my own to experiment a bit.

Restless - This one is really dear to me.. π πΏ
It's an old traditional illustration done with watercolors and fineliner pen on 50x70cm paper... at least 5 years old but still one of my favorite pieces, it took a long time too!

This illustration took me way too many hours π I wanted to make it extremely detailed, so... I hope you like it! I like drawing "monster girls", maybe I'll do more in the future... do you have any suggestions? harpy? lamia? .. #medusa #gorgon #snake #monstergirl #greekmythology #illustration
This time a less rendered piece... I wanted to keep the scene simple but effective, limited color palette to focus the attention on the subject, letting the landscape frame it.

Here's my illustration for Black Dog Edizioni's GotTica 2025 contest. I decided to enter with an illustration of a selkie, one of my favorite mythological creatures! #GotTica2025 #selkie #illustration
I colored this sketch with markers and added a bit of lights digitally to explore some ideas. It's still a work in progress of course, since I will make the final version digitally #medusa #sketch
After Tyranny I wanted to draw Teor Pridesire from critical role campaign 4. I have yet to decide if my next fanart will be of Thimble or Occtis... #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #dnd #dndart #fantasyart #teor #teorpridesire #cr #CriticalRoleCampaign4
Quick illustration of an old sketch while I finish the more complex ones in my WIP folder ahah. A bit creepy but not to much, just in time for halloween!
Have fun and be spooky π¦ π πββ¬ #witch #witchart #demongirl #redeyes #eyes #flowers #red #creepy #digitalart #illustration
Just started Critical Role campaign 4 and I really like Tyranny's design and personality so I had to make a fanart! π

Not at the moment sorry but thanks for your interest
A sort of speed-paint with different stages of my latest illustration. It changed quite a bit from sketch to finished version! For my fellow artists, do your works change a lot during the process?
