Continuing the trend of 'trying to break the art block'. Also playing around with concepts before I'm accidentally forced into a narrative corner with this character. Digital art, 2-3 hours- I wasn't keeping precise time.

A digitally illustrated headshot of a pallid, deathly figure in a grey hood wearing a hanging cloth mask over their nose and mouth. Hair sticks out on their side of their face, and two ghostly eyes peer from deep eyesockets. There's an eerie light coming from above. The entire vibe is that 'she knows what you did'. An accusing, angry stare- not necessarily evil, but certainly unhappy and negative.

Hi I'm still alive here's the cultbreaker 'bout to do business with a cult. I like this outfit, a lot. Inspired a little by the Bloodborne playthrough I'm struggling through atm.

A spindly semi-androgynous character walks forward aggressively with a magic pistol in one hand and a vial of something golden and glowing in the other. She wears a longcoat and a three-point wide-brimmed hat, with vials and a ghostly lantern on her hip. Her glaring, teal-colored ghostly eyes give the impression that she's about to angrily hurt someone.A spindly semi-androgynous character walks forward aggressively with a magic pistol in one hand and a vial of something golden and glowing in the other.

The background is large, hand-written text that says "You'll just have to find another way to BREAK THEM"

March has been a really bad month for me, health-wise, but I'm starting to be on the up-and up. Breaking back into character art with a 40-minute speed paint. This guy's an old character: a silly skeleton wizard named Oddfellow.

A bust of a skeletal wizard who seems to be smiling. Purple is the dominant color of his robe and wizard hat, with little animal skulls on his shoulders.

Launching your updated VTT system for your private group with full confidence-- and having one of them discover a glaring problem almost four months of weekly sessions later is probably the best feeling. Took that long to run into it? Nice. Time for the first major errata lol

Howdy, #PortfolioDay! I'm Batty, primarily a digital artist (but I dabble in traditional paints). I make character art for friends and visual aids for my own VTT group (and sometimes maps). I like lighting (a lot) and try to use colors and lights to help tell stories.

An eldritch entity of bones and blood-red light breaks free of a prison of crimson roots after thousands of years. She looks up at a golden sky for the first time in many ages as her brothers (and jailors) watch on.A previously glorious cathedral or castle lays in ruins now, potentially millennia later. The entire landscape is colorless, showing a misty, destroyed landscape, and a distant, looming darkness.Four versions of the same character have half-bodies drawn in various poses. Lit by a smoking potion bottle is Mort, a friendly pathologist, in blue robes and hood. Lit by a possible candle is also Mort, reading a book. He looks concerned and kind. On the other side, lit from a stark white light from above is an additional Mort, wearing a metallic plague doctor like helm. He's in fancy attire and holds a warscythe. At the top is a fourth and final Mort, lit from behind by dark magic, wearing a silly grinning bronze skull-mask, and holding a voodoo doll. He's threading the doll with a bright blue string that ties all the other Morts together.A top-down battlemap of a room covered in crimson vines vaguely shaped like a heart. A massive bovine-adjacent skull is trapped there. A blood-red light glows from its eyesockets and the gaps between the roots.

Happy Halloween! My very tattered and torn-up #ghost for your amusement-- she's a wraith, to be exact. #warcraftart This was anti-burnout art. Something different, and for myself. Been wanting to make art of Lysa's ghostly self for a while, but man, a lot's been happening. So, here it is.

Against a hazy teal background where the barest hint of massive chains can be seen, floats a tattered ghost. She has an empty hood, and her legs trail off into ragged, cloth-like wisps. Parts of the ghost are damaged and sewn together by pale blue stitches. Her lower arms are just the shapes of bones, and her hands are claws. Her left arm is shattered, and sort of stuck in place by mysterious means.The ghost from the previous image is now floating in front of the windows of a giant spectral lantern: three blue windows with a crossbar through them. Below the ghostly figure are a lot of shadowy, reaching hands, all seem intent on grabbing at or for the ghost.
