A bunch of sketches, The Mistlands are taking shape. As you can see, the banana-shaped larva has caught most of my attention.

Speculative evolution of the #notdeer

The most well-known Unguivenatoria is the not-deer, roaming around the capital Ana and almost perfectly mimicking a musk #deer but it's a predator and a scavenger.
Here is also a distribution #map of Unguivenatoria.

Photo study today! I am not satisfied with this hatching, but the only thing to do is keep practicing.

#goblins are a common sight in the #sedimentarylands. They are opportunistic scavengers and live mostly underground.
Some of them are in symbiosis with the salt #moss, a plant that can easily absorb salt and allow the goblins to roam around the salty lakes.

Some thumbnails! With the help of @esperidio-marino.bsky.social I designed some creatures for my little worldbuilding project aka "The Mistlands". Over the next few weeks I will work on developing the creatures and their environments.

I've been practicing on some interesting skin tones, this time I felt like refining my brush strokes a little.

Painting with hard edges is almost like sculpting👀
I'm painting in Krita again after some time in Corel Painter; the goal is to maintain a consistent painting style across both programs.
Do you have a favorite painting program?✨

Tiger sketch, I love this creature but I've never tried to draw one until now.
#art #artpractice
To anyone who finds this post, show me your tigers. I'm curious. I was inspired by studying Kim Jung Gi's drawings. For me, his art is a constant invitation to improve.

I've been trying to paint a bit more lately, and I'm happy with how these two studies turned out.
No smudging or layering effects.
I've always struggled with drawing or painting landscapes and buildings, and these two studies seem like a great step forward.

I think its missing an identity, some history, who was transformed into this abomination? Is this person still conscious? perhaps some detail of the role this person had in society such as a medal, a hair ornament or some pieces of a dress even if it is simply a colored ribbon.
