Soooo... sorry everyone I haven't been able to properly be social to, I had a family emergency and I'm currently recharging 🫠
Hope you guys don't think I'm rude, things have been intense the past few weeks and I'm running on low battery a while. Will come back soon though, sorry for being cold 😓

Well,I needed to change my goal. I'll spare y'all my sorry life story,but I'm sick of depending on people that would argue and yell at everyone for their own carelessnes and mistakes and admit none.
I need to reconstruct my life, I can't take it anymore.
So I kindly ask for a lil help if you can 🙏🏽
(more info on his lore on the last paragraph) An illustration of a concept art sheet for my original dark fantasy character, a Vampiric Lord called István Ardelean. It shows clothing options and his swords, mixing sketches and fully rendered references. On the left, there are two rows with four different sketches of clothing options for him - the first two being more casual looking and the last two being a little more formal, with long coats/capes. On the right, there are two final, fully rendered options of clothes for him, being the same one except the second option has a large red cape over it. In the middle there are two options of swords, one smaller and more embellished with silver and gold, and one longer and simpler. The sheet also features the color swatches I used and his name for reference. He is a tall an lean pale man, with long wavy black hair, wearing mostly black and silver clothes with some dark red accents - except for the cape, which is blood red. István was a knight before killing a king to save his people and taking his title as ruler, but becoming a vampire in the process. He is also considered a Warlord, which sets him apart from other Vampiric Lords - since most of them were already aristocracy and like to live the debauchery/abuse of power lifestyle. Given that, I wanted his design to be more practical and not so pompous - he wears the aristocracy more as an intimidation title. His final design is reminiscent of armors and war general clothes hidden under a facade of nobility - he is, first and foremost, a warrior who has single-handedly killed entire armies and is now dormant. Same train of thought goes for his swords: the smaller on the left is the royal sword of the king he killed to protect his people - it doesn't have a good balance and it's more 'beauty over utility', he keeps it as a kill trophy. The longer one, his zweihänder, is his sword from his time as a knight and the one he *really* uses.

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked it!!! 🖤 I've been postponing working character sheets for a while, but with Art Fight coming up, I had to update some designs 🫠
Been loving seeing yours too!! I hope you don't mind if I leave some comments on them as well? I don't want to be annoying 😅

Hi! I draw a bit (with long breaks), but I seem to be addicted to artshares, because they help boost my self-esteem :D
Also I have an ongoing raffle, if anyone interested ✨

I have to drop by and comment again how I think that 1st illustration is so beautiful! Hahaha your hard work is worth it, looks truly gorgeous 🖤
Illustration: Sunrise Dragon (fantasy illustration) Digital artwork of a dragon's neck and head. Its scales are primarily colored a light sky blue, and its spikes and horns are gold. Many of its scales also have bright magenta regions. Its eyes are a shiny black. Its long neck its twisted in a snake-like position, with its head facing left. Its teeth are visible on the outside of its lips, much like crocodile teeth, and its snout is tipped in a bone-like beak structure. Two of its top teeth are especially long and tusk-like, curving outwards from either side of the head. The dragon has 3 pairs of horns, the longest and thickest of which is the highest pair on the back of the head. A thick but short spike, similar in appearance to the horns, is located on the side of the head, near the back of the jaw. 3 rows of spines extend down the creature's neck, and each spine is gold in color, with a magenta base. The center row of spines is significantly taller than the others, and each spine of this row is lobed in the center. Each lobe is patterned with white and purple spots. The dragon's environment is a cloud scene at sunrise. It consists of pastel pinks and pale purples. Some sky blue is also visible at the top of the illustration, and in the rightmost top corner the sky fades to navy blue. In front of the dragon, some pink clouds form a circular shape that frames the creature's face. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social. [#Art #DigitalArt #Dragon #DragonArt #CSP #ClipStudio #ClipStudioPaint #Illustration #DragonArtwork #Artwork #Fantasy #FantasyArtwork #DigitalPainting]
Creature Concept: Northern Dragon A white dragon sits up on a snowy tundra plain. Black rocks litter the ground, and grey clouds cover the skies, which are grey with blizzard clouds. Beneath the dragon's front claw is a human skull. The dragon has folded pterodactyl-like wings with hairy claws for fingers. Its back legs are also fluffy, and look much like the talons of a snowy owl. 3 horns grow from the dragon's head; 2 short ones from the back, and 1 longer, forked one from the center. The tail ends in a triangular barb made from the same material as the horns, and sensory bristles stick out from the length of the tail like whiskers. Similar whiskers, only shorter, are found on the cheeks and the tips of the ears. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

Creature Concept: Baldhart the Black Flame (fire dragon) A black dragon with a dull red head, neck, and chest faces left. It stands on a bluish mirror-like surface that is lit up with streaks of blue light. Its wings are a purplish tag color, and huge compared with the rest of its body. Its tail is also elongate, and is patterned with rows of spiky barbs that can also be found on its neck. 3 pairs of horns grow from its head, two on the top, and one that curves around like a tusk on the back of its jaw. A short beard of black fur grows from the bottom of its head, longest under the tip of the chin. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

(more of his lore on the last paragraph) A screenshot of my workplace on the drawing/painting software Krita. On the right, you can see the color wheel, brushes and layers. On the left, you can see the working canvas, the background being a pale, de-saturated red. It's a concept art sheet for my original dark fantasy character, a Vampiric Lord called István. On the far left of the canvas, there are 4 sketches of the same character - a tall, lean built, pale man with dark wavy hair to his waist - on the same pose and wearing different clothes. The first two at the top are more "casual" clothes, while the last two at the bottom are more "formal". On the first two, he's wearing a combination of ruffled shirts, leather pants and knee high riding boots - one of the shirts is more fancy and ruffled than the other. The "formal" ones are different options of capes/long coats. On the right side of the canvas in full size, there are two options: one is basically the casual clothes but with an embellished "long tail" coat with dark red accents on it, and the other is the same attire but with a long cape over it all. In the middle, there are two options of swords: one a little shorter and more embellished, while the other is longer and somewhat simpler (I call it a zweihänder, since it's the one I based it from). István is a Vampiric Lord who wasn't born in aristocracy - he was a knight who had to save his people from certain doom and, for that, he became a vampire and had to kill a king and take his throne. Given that history, I tried to incorporate a little more practicality in his design with still some aristocracy vibes. The smaller sword was the king sword he took and uses as a war trophy of sorts, while the zweihänder is his original knight sword and the one he prefers for fighting. He is a lot less pompous than other Vampiric Lords, using the aristocrat looks as more of an intimidation tactic rather than for showing off.
I'm having a chaotic week, so another WIP it is 👍
I'm on the mood of char sheets and realized I still hadn't worked on István's concept 🫠
Overall, vampire lord with a warlord/knight past who took his aristocrat title instead of being born in it (more info on alt text!)

happy 18th birthday to "come to brazil"
Thank you so much for hosting! I'm Tevans, a hobbyist OC artist and worldbuilder. Here's some of my proudest OC pieces ☺️✨
Atmospheric illustration: a pale man with a cybernetic hand sits at a table with a glass of wine in a dark futuristic interior. In the background are wires and a glowing circuit-like cross, creating a cold techno-religious contrast.
Take a drink. A thirty-year-old Château Margaux, produced by Margaux-Quintanac. I know you’re a real connoisseur,” he said with complete ease, as if he’d said it a thousand times before in countless variations...

A digital realistic painting of Leon Kennedy from the most recent Resident Evil game, Requiem. It's heavily focused on his face and you can see him from shoulders up. The background is a simple black/gray/pale almost white green with some specks of the same green color and dark red. You can also see his name in the background, "Leon", written in a font similar from the game and heavily blurred. It's based on a print from a game scene, specifically the one he says he needs to investigate the Orphanage (I'm trying to avoid spoilers here, but if you played/watched it, you know what I'm talking about).
A digital realistic painting of Zeno from the most recent Resident Evil game, Requiem. It's heavily focused on his face and you can see him from shoulders up. The background is a simple black/gray/pale almost white blue and very faint orange/yellow accents. You can also see his name in the background, "Zeno", written in a font similar from the game and heavily blurred. It's based on a print from a game scene, specifically the one he explains some things to Grace and says "Correct" while smiling after she asks something (I'm trying to avoid spoilers here, but if you played/watched it, you know what I'm talking about).
A collage of two illustrations from original dark fantasy characters of mine, a vampire hunter and a vampire lord. On the left, a half-body illustration of my oc, Kathleen Rose, a vampire hunter. She is walking under the moonlight, with the moon and dark forest behind her, while holding her sword and drenched in blood. She is pale and has pale blond hair down to her waist, flowing in the wind, while her eyes are green framed by an almost warpaint like black shiny makeup, smudged carelessly around her eyes. She wears only black clothes: a leather vest up to her neck with sharp shoulders, a pair of leather pants, linen shirt and gloves. She wears a few brown belts, as well as brown leather braces. On her shirt, there's a detail in light blue and lilac on the arms, and she wears her sword belt, made of silver squares embellished with roses, strapped around her torso/chest. She also has a few silver spikes on her clothes: on the vest around her neck and on her braces, which extends to her hands. On the right, a half-body illustration of my oc, a Vampiric Lord called István. He is casually standing with one of his hands close to his lips, while the other holds a sword. He is tall, strong but skinny, and very pale, with dark black wavy hair down to his waist. His eyes are surrounded by darker black/wine colors, while the irises glow in red. His lips are of the same dark wine color. His forearms are black, with black veins going up his arms almost to his shoulders, and you can also see the same black veins going up his torso from his lower waist. His hands are actually sharp, skinny and long claws, not human. He is wearing black leather pants that almost look like armor and black leather embellished belt, with silver and red gems details. Behind him, you can barely see the shape of black, bat looking big wings. He is also covered in blood, that looks more like watercolor, splattered on his lips, hands and chest, running down his whole body.
A collage of two illustrations of mine. On the left, an illustration of the characters Dante and Vergil from the game series Devil May Cry. Vergil is on the left, with his back to his brother and seen from the side, holding a sword that is resting on his shoulder. Dante is on the right, seen from the front and with his back to his brother, having his arms crossed while holding a katana on one of his hands. The great sword on Vergil's shoulder is Dante's sword Rebellion, while the katana on Dante's hand is Vergil's sword Yamato. They are wearing their usual clothes except their long coats - Vergil with his vest, Dante with his 3/4 sleeve shirt. The lighting is very dramatic, being purple, with bright red coming from the right and pale blue coming from the left (it looks like a neon rave party, honestly). There's also some faint words written above their head, very difficult to read: "black night, dark sky, the devils cry". It's part of the lyrics to the theme from the game Devil May Cry 3 (I added because I really like it). On the right, A half body illustration of the character Loki from the Marvel universe, but in his frost giant (Jotun) form. He has a few braids on a shoulder length hair, with his classic horned helmet being more of a headband. He wears a large fur cape around his shoulders, as well as a large neck/chest piece with a knotwork pattern - the same pattern is repeated on his staff. He has a few marks on his face and chest, the ones he would have as a frost giant. He is also wearing gold and black pants, as well as golden bracers with fur. His looks is very much inspired by his Marvel Rivals design, but I wanted to work on a more Norse God looking version of it - still as if it was one of his skins in game. That's why I chose the braided hair, lots of fur and detailed knotwork on the golden patches. The fur is also more on the gray side, as a little nod to Fenrir and a sort of "wolf in sheep's clothing" kind of thing.
It's classic birthday post time 👀
I'm not one to celebrate or talk about it but hey, it's my birthday! So here's the classic post sharing my art around 😅
