Silvery grey ulitharid with diaphonous fin like wings strikes a floaty pose with the Wavemother Robes from BG3

I don't play, I slay,
I don't walk, I strut, strut, strut,
and then sashay" 💅🦑
Dudes and squids can rock these robes too 😉

Digital painting of an illithid dressed as davy jones from pirates of the Caribbean on the side of a galleon, holding onto a rope while reaching for an illithid made of water, rising from the sea. Around them is a storm, and large waves crash against the boat.

More #WIP. Someday I'd like to handle painting the way I command lineart...and be a bit more social while locked in with complex work. Something something balance.

Another piece inspired by the #NoKings march today in the US. If stories and movies have anything to show us, it's the power of a collective voice, of shared empathy, and an imagination that can offer support in unexpected ways.🐸🦄🐼🦑

Digital comic style drawing of the Emperor from BG3 floating over a cobblestone ledge; portals around him open as versions of him from cyberpunk, steampunk, desert apocalypse and Lovecraftian universes join his side. The sky is overcast in red with the silhouettes of nautiloids in the clouds, and ember sparks float in the air.
Digital drawings with 4 mind flayers, one looking futuristic and cybernetic, another in a suit, top hat and brassy mantle. A mechanical intellect devourer flies out with him. Another one looking like someone out of the Mad Max series, and the other in a disheveled suit, a mad, haunted look, a ghostly crest and shadowy hands. Behind him is an ominous city with Lovecraftian motifs.
3 digital drawings: left is a brown-skinned mind flayer in elaborate orange robe and messenger pigeons; middle is a dragonborn ink drawing, right is a pirate tiefling with their illithid form.
Image collage of three illustrated scenes. Left is a low angle POV of a towering, fearsome ulitharid in black and purple armor strides towards a barricade, flanked by armored ulitharids. Two are about to cast something, and the bezerker is charging forward. Behind them are silhouettes of countless illithids. They are all getting shot at, but the bullets/blasts have no effect. Behind them, a lightning storm forms an ominous circle in the sky. Middle is two illithids composed like Bouguereau's "Abduction of Psyche." Right is a green skinned mind flayer in an elaborate dress.

To me another sign of a character's personal appeal is their iterations in addition to nicknames. Inspired from Maimai's version with the Emperor, here's one for my "jolly green giant." I need to make one for his angelic version.

Jossiel was once a protector aasimar of Lathander the Morninglord. In avenging his late family, he succumbed to Ilsensine and became their proxy, Lugribossk. When the Adversary freed him, he surprisingly found salvation with Selune, and served them in his final days.

I feel bad constantly reusing my one (or two) detailed pictures of Lugribossk - hopefully I can make more formal images of him down the road.

#TheEmperor isn't my OC, but he'd rock this top. Especially since Lugribossk "borrowed" (or stole) his Oreo shirt. Someone might be crying from tickles later.

Sheet detailing a fictional raid encounter with an ulitharid in three forms. It reads: "Lugribossk (Illimandra Citadel) Lugribossk is the penultimate boss of the Illimandra Citadel Raid. He is initially found in the inner sanctum, but the actual fight occursoutside in the citadel ruins. He is a 3 phase encounter. Phase 1: Catch Me Lugribossk will attempt to collapse the citadel onto the party. and give chase through an exit tunnel. The party must dodge falling debris to reach him. Any trash mobs not previously cleared will also spawn in this gauntlet. Phase 2: Combat The raid has 10 cycles to defeat Lugribossk before he enrages and becomes gigantic. The fight is very movement and AOE heavy due to his fear aura and mind control mechanics. The raid also takes gradual damage from brain burn. Phase 3: Spectre of Lugribossk After a cutscene, Lugribossk will split into a spectral form and a pallid illithid/former aasimar Jossiel. The spectre will attempt to escape while draining him of hit points. If it escapes and Jossiel dies, it will be absorbed by the Avatar of Ilsensine. This will make the fight much more difficult with their combined mechanics. A Legendary item will only drop for one player, nothing else. If the spectre is defeated, Jossiel will heal the raid and aid them against the avatar. If he also survives that, the raid will be rewarded with the Rings of Ilsensine legendary item, and the squidling companion Cuddil. Cuddil has utility for repairs and mailing items.
I made Lugribossk into a raid boss, styled like the raids from WoW. I also spoiled my story a bit, but it was still fun to think about 🥴 The raiding party could possibly be the hybrid gith-illithids he created.

So thrilled to have enough artwork made for something like this! Virtual photography could also be fun in this format.

Art imitates life once again. Time for the less fun kind of crown and a huge co-pay.

A light pastel-colored mindflayer is embraced from above by a green skinned mindflayer whose clothing seems to be part of the dark background. The shadows from him cast a green tinge on the other’s skin. There is the silhouette of a planet behind them, with a light flare creating a halo around the green mindflayer. The title to the right reads “The Adversary and the Fear Lord” with the icon of a sword with light rays at its hilt at the center of a brain with two tentacles on either side.
A pic inspired from a painting by Joe Bowler: a cover of my post BG3 Spelljammer Space Opera Crackship idea. It conveys most of the story through a number of details and symbolism.

A bespectacled illithid pirate springs forward with a sword.
I started this event with my first attack on @blyostiekpba.bsky.social. Because I didn’t know which characters I wanted to draw back then, I decided to do both.
With that, I officially end my run of this event with his other OC.

A pair of illithids in simple, earth toned casual clothing sit in a grassy field together with fireflies around them.
One of the pictures I’ve hinted at wanting to make earlier this month, and did. The first unreleased attack/revenge on @merakilich.bsky.social, with another OC by @velaskas.bsky.social. Cottagecore vibin.

Image of a pirate character in their two forms; one is a grey skinned tiefling springing forward with a dagger, and behind them is their actual illithid form.
Down to the wire with an attack on @ispunchlines.bsky.social. I apparently am a fan of spring attacks…

ALT Brown mindflayer in mid lift off wearing orange colored robes holding a messenger pigeon. Three other messenger pigeons are in the background. Within a lighter watercolor like area are three simple sketches of their previous form and life.

Victorian-themed mindflayer in a suit posing for a portrait with his hand on the head of a bust of Socrates. Daylight illuminates him from the side; his eyes glow from the shadowed side of his face.

Pair of illithids in a cool, moonlit night sky, wrapped in fabrics akin to renaissance paintings. One is holding the other, who has a rapturous expression.
There are two versions of this because I realized after the fact that illithids are opposed to sunlight, which makes the daylight one nonsensical. 😅
So I added a moonlit night version.
