infected mosquito mascot design
This is a mascot/logo for a product idea (not my own,) not sure if it's going to get off the ground, so for now this art is "secret!"

Another sketch of the Orlok necromizer princess, originally envisioned with elaborate armor, but as a necromizer class, maybe a good old tattered shroud and scythe are all she needs.
And a maybe-final design for the trainer who is also a "baby" Mortasheen city building.
I decided this version was a little messier, and I didn't quite like the "eyes" directly on the buildings.
From today's update, here it is without the surrounding "rift!"
this one's patrons-only because I may be using it as an enemy encounter in Awful Hospital!
Why have I drawn so many monsters with shiny puckered sphincter faces lately? Guess I just like them
Hisham requested a Saproling token (from Magic: The Gathering) so here's a speed draw of a stinkhorn-like squiddy fungus.

This was another one of the drawing prompts from last month, but I only got two! Anyone who's been pledging 30 bucks or more still gets one every month!
Just suggest for me a list (of any length, but preferably more than three!) of simple 2-3 word monster ideas and I'll draw the first idea I ...
Maybe Fern needs to get moving soon...
Hisham's drawing prompt last month was to come up with my own Thrull from Magic the Gathering, with wings. I'll get other prompts done soon, and all $30 patrons have another one for this month! Just message me!
Even more NPC characters are being added to the Mortasheen RPG leading up to its release date announcement; these are just few the designers have approved so far.
"Jimmy Shivers" is a Jason Vorhees sort of character, a silent mutant with a hidden face who might inspire urban legends if he sho...
This never made it into the final game, but the creator of Chimera Isle and I kicked around the idea of "bad" or "junk" body part cards...so here's the head, body and tail I designed that would only hinder your creature.
The last batch of monster cards I did for the indie board game, Chimera Isle. For those just tuning into that, each head, body and tail on these was cut into a separate card used to generate creatures completely at random, and each had a name suggesting its habits or abilities. These traits didn't h...

I basically followed the exact sketch I last did; it's a balloon elephant pinata anglerfish!

Another batch of creature cards for the board game, Chimera Isle. If you haven't seen any before, these were cut up into head, body and tail pieces, each with its own characteristic.
The characteristics had no "mechanics," but were meant to inspire players, since you had to use your imaginati...
Have I posted these already? It's actually hard to view your own creator posts all at once! Anyway, a Jenglot in folklore is a tiny, immobile mummy-like being, who can act as your servant if you feed it blood every day.

This is another somewhat extreme makeover, but it's another that's been a long time coming. A couple other of the Joker class are coming a...

Done and written, actually decided to just add MORE tissue to really balance it all.

No writeup just yet, probably gonna keep messing with the art.
Even when you cheat and make up a lot of it....drawing skeletons is a nightmare.
I dunno if I like all the red tissue, either. Some of it, but not all of it.
So, since I only have the "creator view" of this stuff, I was wondering a couple things:
-Are you able to access all the patron-only stuff, even from before you might have pledged? Like the coloring book and stuff?
-Is it hard to find? I've heard mixed things about Patreon's setup.

Widoweed is one of the older Mortasheen illustrations, and it really...doesn't feel very "Mortasheen-like" to me. The design has always been a little too human, just a straight up "sexy woman with fly trap leaves for arms."
This latest attempt at a revamp concept seeks to do more with that id...
It was sometime last year I had a paid request for a Hero Shrew Mortasheen, and I just got so sidetracked and had so many conflicting concepts for it!
I know my early sketches were more mecha-like and people liked that, but I'm really leaning on this straightforward giant, menacing skeleshrew...
It really means so much that anybody, I mean even one person, thinks I'm worth their patronage, likes the stuff I do for fun enough to collectively employ me to do as much more as I can. It gives me a "job" at a time in life when I have no other security or any idea where to go or where we're gonna ...

I've posted these sketches and a short description on tumblr before, but here's my more thorough outline for a bug-themed game similar to Animal Crossing!
Some stuff in the sketches never quite made it in to my final ideas.
I was actually paid a couple years ago to draw this hi-res example of platyhelminthes for a teacher, who wanted to make a big banner or flag with a planarian and blood flukes on it. I forgot all about it until I rediscovered it on my harddrive today.
