"Lady Lxo'vac's Very Tiring Vacation"⛵☀️

My 2D character entry to this year's Atomhawk art competition, 'Under Strange Suns'. Had a really fun time painting this snooty lady! Next vacation she's DEFINATELY hiring a nanny.

The true nature of the mushroom pope (”The Voice”) revealed, Petr and his new human friend - Raphael - conspire to take them down for good! (An assassination performed by two 12 year olds can't be that hard, right?)

When finishing this painting I thought it’d be fun to mock it up into a mid-game menu screen concept :) 🍄

#this project is UNRELATED to spore the popular videogame i only found out that existed after naming it rip #painting #fantasy art #illustration #divine decay #woods #petr: so then we FLY in from above and GET them #raph: because we can Totally fly yeah ok sure #petr: look i bet if i pray hard enough- #theyre having a great time its fine their plan is airtight what could possibly go wrong #theyve got such a long walk to figure the details out in so its so fine!! #(narrator voice it was Not Fine) #petr #raphael #but uh yeah so this is gonna a rambly lore dump in the tags because this is a personal chronical at this point but: #pov u were raised mushroom catholic your whole life with all of your society lead by your one mushroom pope #who is also mind connected to all of you #(not present all the time they dip in and out of peoples heads but fully capable of dropping into your senses and body whenever) #and the position youve been raised to take on is literally to be their eyes and ears #also this pope has lived for thousands of years and yall die age 80 or whatever so like. theyre NOT god but theyre p fucking divine #then BOOM youre teleported fucking MILES away and out of their range. alone for the very first time #but NOT FOR LONG cuz this other scared kid also got teleported but theyre HUMAN and you want each other DEAD only youre both scared and #lonely and theres wild monsters that want to eat you so like its fine if just for a bit you team up because theres no point dying to some #random beast instead of an epic battle #and then you start talking to the kid and like oh shit theyre like nice. and they say its YOU guys who started the war and the humans were #here first #and you still have your counter of yeah but we NEED to block out the sun or else we'll literally die we want to be on the surface too #only #youve been in the sun for the last week and other than getting a little dehydrated youre Fine #so if they were lying about humans being only capable of rage and if they were lying about dying in the sun

Iteration work for Petr. I was taking inspiration from historical catholic vestments for his Vessel robes design, and trying to find a balance between ostentatious and innocent.

Introducing Petr, the protagonist of my Divine Decay uni project - he’s a young, recently chosen Vessel of the Voice on his first crusade up to the surface world! Unfortunately something goes... wrong, during the battle, and he’s left stranded in the wilderness, hundreds of miles from his mycellium network, and with only a human for company.

(Boy, I sure hope he doesn’t discover any divine heresies while exploring ruins on the way back that will fundamentally alter his worldview!)

#he is just.....a silly little guy #concept art #character design #cleric #fantasy #mushroom people #divine decay #petr #vessel of the voice #divine heresy speedrun version: the mushroom pope was a human scientist who was so gay for the voice she heard through mycellium network #readings one day that she created a super mushroom zombie plague #destroyed most of the world #and now actively wants to build a skyshield to block out the sun so that everything dies and all the mushroom people cannabalise each other #in divine sacrament #(the mushroom voice actually isnt that impressed so they've picked this kid instead. oops!)

The first key scene illustration from last year’s Divine Decay uni project, featuring Petr (will share soon!) receiving his missive from the Voice of the Spore 🍄✨

Exploratory thumbnails for my uni project Spore:Divine Decay from back in late 2021. It follows the story of a young boy from an underground, church-led society of mushroom people who worship a pope-like figure known as the Voice of the Spore.

The purpose of these thumbnails was to push silhouette, and establish a fashion for the underground society, getting a feel for what everyday people might look like in it. Primary inspirations were catholic vestments, and (loosely) 14th century italian fashion.

Some creature designs for a uni project last year, based in an underground society of mushroom people! (more of that coming soon 👀)

Illustrations from another Fox&Wit dust jacket commission last year, this time for The Ballad of Perlious Graves - written by Alex Jennings. (I’d definately reccomend a read! His writing style is very engaging.)

Some character designs I created for my uni course last year as part of a “trope smashing” brief! I really enjoyed how these guys turned out - I see them as a private investigative pair in a fantasy victorian-esque setting, with perhaps some sci-fi elements. And yes, they’re husbands.

(silly doodle under cut)

#character design #concept art #illustration #orc #fantasy #brains and brawn #i dont think i ever came up with names for these guys BUT i did come up with mad backstory and setting lore #fae mafia my beloved....i will use u in another project #brains guy comes from a noble family off-planet and they all kinda view him as the wierd cousin who's taking his gap year #to do silly little detective stuff #they don't really know and dont really care. they're idle rich hes allowed to be eccentric and not earn anything #he goes home to the big family reunion every space-fantasy christmas and they're all happy to see him #make various affirming noises about whatever case hes excitedly talking about #slight dissaproving sniff at his boytoy stealing the cutlenery Again but theyre FAR too polite to bring that up #(brain knows. he acts oblivious but encourages this. he thinks its hilarious.) #(boytoy= theyve been married for 20 years and counting. his family is STILL hoping its a phase) #(its not these bitches are ride or die for each other) #anyway yeah space fantasy holmes and watson who are gay married and take cases for free purely on the basis of what interests them most. #if they dont like you they charge u tho sorry #brawn has the most insane swimmer physique btw its ALL in the upper torso #rabid dog of a guy who Bites #no thoughts head empty motherfucker #they are so sickly affectionate to each other its unreal. type of guys to constantly do the bit where they pretend to meet each other for #the first time and flirt immediately. you think its sweet until you have to hang out with them for longer than an hour. its insufferable #love them <33 #anyway sorry for long tags!!! got carried away #art #my art #digital art

Said drawing exercise from the other day - I took a selection of images of real world animals and objects, randomly picked one of each and gave myself 2 minutes to sketch a dragon from them.

As someone who struggles with working speedily sometimes, I found it was really beneficial and I really like some of the concepts it generated!

#concept art #dragons #dragon art #concept sketches #creature design #art #sketches #while the outcomes naturally vary in quality a bit they all feel really unique to me!! which was the intended goal so I'm very happy :) #my art #digital art

Some very quick dragon concepts, based off of a drawing exercise I did the other day with a selection of random reference images!
