Witnesstheabsurd

Soft and Wet Timelapse

Music is "Future Reflections" and "Kids", in that order, both by MGMT.

Soft and Wet

Stayed up too late painting this one, just for me.

Jojolion ended and it meant a great deal to me. Thank you Araki-sensei.

BEELZEBUB

The Lord of the Flies himself, a tribute to the Kaneko design from SMT! Work has been kicking my ass lately but i'm so excited to share the results, hopefully someday soon! Thanks for all your patience in the meantime.

This design is available on a shirt 2021-08-18 01:36:47 +0000 UTC View Post

Beelzebub Fly Form WIP

Hi everyone! I'm on holiday! I'm at a cottage in the countryside that happens to have a hot tub, which is one of the best things that's happened to me in the last year and a half. I hope everyone's well!

Cruelty Squad Timelapse

Music is "Ainseley" by Emperor X

Cruelty Squad

After a day of sculpting I was itching to paint again... an hour or so later and here we are. I highly recommend checking out Cruelty Squad, especially if you've never heard of it.

Timelapse for this up tomorrow!

Trying out Zbrush!

I thought you'd also be interested to see this - a couple of shots of a skull study i've been using to familiarize myself with Zbrush. Digital sculpture is something i've wanted to pursue for a while, and since I find myself with weekends again, now seems like the moment!

Chianti Bottle

This was a piece done for a friend, something small I forgot to share!

Baal Zebul + Beelzebub + More updates! (Silene WIPS!)

Hey everyone! It's been a little bit - if i'm honest, i've felt a little embarassed with the slow pace i've been going at with respect to the promised Silene painting. Adjusting to the new balance of professional and personal work since I began work with Poppyworks has been interesting - i'm very...

Loa

Another (smaller) SMT piece! I had kind of a weird health anxiety episode over the last few days and lost crucial work time on multiple projects.... This was a way to recover. I just finished a playthru of the SMT Nocturne HD remaster (not my first ever Nocturne run, but my first with the HD rele...

Girimehkala

"A giant elephant monster of Sri-Lankan mythology. It is typically portrayed as being ridden on by the Evil One, Mara. Whoever looks into its evil eye is said to be met with misfortune."

Girimehkala WIPs + An update!

Hi everyone! I've had a wild few months over here, even if not much of the wildness surfaced on my public platforms - I was recently able to announce that i'm currently working on a long term basis providing art for a project with Poppyworks, a game developer whom i've been in talks with over Stu...

Vapula 2019 vs 2021

On a total whim I decided I wanted to revisit one of my Ars Goetia series, specifically Vapula, whom I painted as an extremely muscular swordsman with flowing white hair (Also on a total whim). At the time I loved the design I had in mind but was always dissatisfied by the execution, especially w...

Silene exploration

Getting started on this month's poll winner, Silene! Just messing around at this stage, i've been exhausted and tied up in something big I hope I can share with you all soon, but I should have more time for personal work going forwards, which means more for the Patreon!

Silene is extremely ...

MSN-04II Nightingale Ver. Witnesstheabsurd

Finished! After several delays due to both client work and personal stuff, the Nightingale Ver. Witnesstheabsurd is ready for deployment. I really wanna pursue this line and do more biomecha renditions of Gundam designs - It feels like one of the best ways to gain a more intimate understanding of...

"Uriel" mockup

I was exhausted today for a lot of reasons but I needed to get this image down to come back to later - the image of the angel guarding the Garden of Eden with a fiery sword has been sticking with me lately, as has a lot of NIhei rereads, and this is the result. I like roughly bashing together ima...

Fairy Empire Timelapse

Music is, in order

"Right to the Rails"

"Sfearion"

"Edgeless"

All by Emperor X, from the album "Central Hug/Friendarmy/Fractaldunes"

Nightingale WIP Update

Working on this in between client pieces! Super pleased with how it's coming out, even if finding reference for the Nightingale's skirt plating is a little tricky with how much the shield obscures on 90% of images. Don't forget to vote in the poll! Silene is holding a commanding lead but there's ...

June Fanart Poll

Hi everyone! Back again with the character poll for the end of May thru June - this one will wrap up voting on the 15th! I've thrown in at least one familiar face and some characters from stuff i've been revisiting lately, some keystone works that defined my personal visual language and formed a ...

Nightingale WIP

I've been playing around with several wips exploring more biomechanical mobile suits. This one is based on the Nightingale, an alternate to Char's Sazabi suit which i've recently appreciated for it's extremely unusual elongated silhouette and extreme interpretation  of the "Humanoid" form mo...

Tribute to Kentaro Miura

I actually took a little bit to upload this here despite having put it elsewhere - specifically because when I upload work here I often feel that the opportunity is there to write something a little more substantial than just the title or a short phrase, and i've had trouble considering how best ...

Baund Doc WIP

I might not be able to pursue this one further for a bit thanks to client work but I actually decided to pick up one of the last poll losers and just run with it anyway!

NZ-666 Kshatriya

Very proud of the finished piece, which has the rare distinction of being closer than not to the image I had in my head when I began work. Excited to start the next poll!

Kshatriya update

NOW we're getting somewhere

Kshatriya WIP update

Going a little slow with this one but wanted to keep everyone apprised of progress on the Kshatriya! It's fun trying to figure out how to replicate the geometry of the actual design in assorted osseous/flesh structures.

Neferpitou

On a whim, realizing that after Meruem and Menthuthuyoupi I could easily finish out the quartet of the King and his three royal guards I decided to do just that! Neferpitou was a quick piece but I was really pleased with how unsettling I was able to get them - pursuing that unwholesome or uncanny...

Kshatriya Development

As you're probably aware, the Kshatriya ran away with the poll and as such i'm now in the process of figuring out how to approach what was easily the most complex of the three contenders. The Kshatriya's massive funnel array and elaborate gilding makes it a real challenge to approach and breaking...

Menthuthuyoupi Bust

A bust of Menthuthuyoupi (more commonly known as "Youpi" for simplicity's sake) from Hunter x Hunter, for a client!

Rajang

And, finished! I've always loved how the Rajang embodies so many different mammalian traits outside of the obvious primate qualities - it has feline hindquarters, a doglike snout, horns like an ungulate and a leonine tail/mane. I'm working on adjusting my painting process so I can work at a bette...
