"Xanathar, the Beholder". Bow to the crime Lord of Waterdeep! Some personal work, I've always wanted to paint a beholder from DnD, they're so fun! #illustration #illustrator #art #artist #fantasy #creaturedesign #characterdesigner #coneptartist #dungeonsanddragons

A beholder looks down on a seemingly rich, tied-up man, held by an orc henshman. Next to Xanathar, a mind flayer and of course, his goldfish in a floating bowl.

I believe Ai/LLM will be the herion for the lonely and uninspired. Like opiates, it will always be dangerous for those that desire it the most. And, just like opiates, it will be developed by warlords and criminals, and pushed onto society as a whole for profit and power. night thoughts.

I love what a weird mishmash of both halves of Nintendo the rarely-seen Famicombox is - essentially a Japanese-exclusive multicart NES loaded up with Famicom ROMs baked onto NES cartridges for play in hotels and whatnot. Cool to see some still kickin’ in the wild.

One of the many many snakes around my place. All harmless, unless you are a rodent or frog. But it is always shocking to me how fast the larger ones move. Such unique creatures. Arms and legs are for suckers.

Me too for exactly the same reason. I also find him kind of hammy on screen. ALSO Brother Theodore's Gollum will always be superior.

Because it was requested last week: Here’s a look at how I generally start my paintings compared to the final piece. I generally lay in all the technical decisions, on pose, lighting, and color composition, in the first 30-60 minutes of my piece, after which it’s all detailing.

Hey #Portfolioday! I'm Marco González, freelance artist and art instructor working on TCG, TTRPG, videogames and book publishing, among others. I love creating worlds and bringing fantasy to life. marcogonzalezart.com animadeprived.carrd.co

A ghostly white head with long hair and a circlet is trapped in a glass jar with a metal, spiky lid tied with chains. The head is screaming with its mouth open wide, while a purple ooze flows from it. The jar is on top of an altar of sorts with runic inscriptions on the steps leading to it. Behind it, a huge, dark creature with long extremities looms over the scene, with its hands surrounding the jar.

A red-haired dwarf with an eye patch, a mohawk and a manica and a Huge, muscular, long-haired character at a bar share a table, some drinks while playing and/or gambling. The dwarf has just leapt onto the table holding a massive axe and threatening to severe his opponent's hand, while the other begs him not to. In the background, a lively crowd cheers and laughs while watching the scene.

The focus of the illustration is massive cocoon-like formation made of gnarled branching shapes with a warm, eye-shaped light in the centre. In the foreground, a thick “branch” where a character is standing goes towards the background. The atmosphere is mostly blue and hazy, with some warm light particles floating around.

A horned and almost entirely covered creature stands in the middle of the picture. Frayed layers flow around its body, kind of disintegrating as they move. A dark face with bright eyes is barely visible. Behind it, we see a stony and almost organic setting in mostly cool colours. In the bottom of the frame, we see a small character looking at the giant creature, standing on an organic-looking pathway.

Reimagined concepts of the Wizard of Oz characters. Five characters are shown. In the middle is a young girl wearing a white button-up and a blue suspender skirt, holding a gun in one hand and a basket of ammo in the other. Next to her is a Cane Corso dog with a collar that says "Toto." To the left is a tall, knife-wielding man dressed in a ragged, bullet-worn suit and fedora, a crow with a knife in its beak sitting on his shoulder. To the right is a man dressed smartly in a vest and mask, with prosthetic arms and one prosthetic leg, an axe on his belt and a can of gasoline beside him. In the back is a huge male brute in a vest with a bearded face and top-knot, wearing knuckle rings on his fists.

A massive, hissing pale snake adorned in gaudy golden jewelry on its tail and head. Red feathers decorate its neck

A painted illustration of a vanity table littered with various feminine products, such as make up, jewelry and lotions. Within the vanity table's mirror, a ghastly being with a skull-like face, blazing blue lights for eyes and yellow hair wrapped in hair rollers reaches out towards an unseen individual who has their hands up defensively.

A fantastical creature resembling a mix of a frogmouth bird with a frog. It is wingless, has frog-like legs, is muddy in color and has red pustules on its back

Illustration of an army of white ducks and red pandas waging war in the Himalayas. In the center is one armored duck and red panda with swords in battle. A blocky, cracked stone textured bold caps title reads CUTE AGGRESSION with a smaller orange-red subtitle reading Battle for Mt. Egduutei

3 character design illustrations labeled "The Rhydin Crew." A dark haired, tan-skinned half elf woman with a silver staff and flowy purple dress, a blue haired elf man with blue tunic and large white feathered wings holding a scroll and tome, and a yellow haired elf woman wearing scant green clothes, brown leather armor and accessories, holding a sword and giving a peace sign

Illustration of Dumb Bear, a dumb-looking, wall-eyed brown bear, about to jump on a trampoline that is directly under a ceiling fan in someone's living room.

Stickersheet design for "Red Clan" character art from the game Flippin Ninjas. Backdrop shows silhouetted bamboo over Mt Fuji with a large moon (or sun?) in a dark red sky. Chibi character art of a ninja, dragon, monk, lion dog, shogun, and samurai are over the top.

A drawing of a hot air balloon above overgrown ruins. A group of sailors is looking at birds through telescopes.

A drawing of some items: A diamond ring with a snake design - a flint knife wrapped with string - a gold chain with small gold bees - two clay toy dog figurines - a cup shaped like the head of a horse or donkey - a horse shaped candle holder - two crab apples - a votive loaf of bread (shaped like a hand) on a plate, with a bowl of salt and a lit candle.

Three small drawings: One of a shrine under a pine tree with a stone inside, one of a salamander on the forest floor, one of a coastal path with stone steps, two tall trees, stone columns and two hikers in the distance. The overall feel is very late summer to early autumn.

A drawing of some things you might find in a kitchen: a tea towel, a bundle of herbs (parsley, thyme, sage, bay), two wooden spoons, some butcher's twine, a cutting board, a big knife, a candle stub on a little plate, a ceramic jar, some cardamom pods, a garlic bulb (bisected).
