#digital art #illustration #artists on tumblr #digital drawing #art #my art #original art #I wanted to see if i could capture the feeling of this creepy recurring dream i have #I think one of the spookiest things about this dream is that both my twin sister and my mum have exactly the same one #something we didn't realise until we happened to be discussing weird dreams one day and the giant fish were mentioned #and as we kept talking each of us took turns describing a part of the dream in perfect detail that lined up exactly with everyone else's #this dream takes place in a real location we all know but it doesn't look the way it does IRL #and all of our dreams share the same exact altered version of this place #we all see the giant fish and we all get the same feeling of bottomless dread when we look at them or approach them #I get chills any time i talk about this dream it creeps me out so bad #and i've been wanting to try to capture the feeling of it for a looong time #so here's an attempt

Olath - Aberrant familiar

#art #illustration #artists on tumblr #digital art #digital drawing #dnd #dungeons and dragons #homebrew #my art #my ocs #Setting: Heim #Olath #I love this creature actually #This is Tethry's very fucked up familiar Olath (They/it) #They started their life as a familiar as a normal housecat #some lore fuckery later and they end up like this #I have a bunch of lore written for them but i'm not gonna dump it all here #They behave and function like any other familiar #they're just.... creepy #they don't speak or make facial expressions #they only use body language and the caster/familiar bond to communicate #they come up to about Tethry's hip at the shoulders so it's a big kitty #Tethry is also incredibly embarrased by them and hasn't ever summoned them where anyone else could see #Olath is very attached to him and will drape their whole body weight over him like an oversized lap dog any time they get the chance #I already know i'll be drawing this horrible creature more cause they're very fun to draw #also can you tell i played a worrying amount of the Endless Forest as a teenager?

It's a very cool feeling to finally have a character you've written over 110k words about, be able look back at you from the canvas.

#wip #my art #Still a bunch of nitpicking and adjusting to do #as well as a whole ton of design work i need to get through #this guy is a big fan of dressing fancy and i am not super comfy with designing clothes yet so we shall see how that goes #he also has a bunch of earrings that i am scared to get into #the setting is very 1920s Art Nouveau/deco inspired with high fantasy mixed in #so i have some really cool ideas for clothing styles if i can pull it off #also he's Drow btw #so this guy is uh... purple #I love this disaster wizard so damn much #Tethry

Not working on anything atm so I decided to do a little something to show the progression of my most recent piece, specifically the car, since i always find it super interesting to see how other artists work!

Greyscale to get the texture and values on the car down.

Gradient map to give me something to build colour on.

introducing more colours and texture.

Rendering and final colour correction.

#my art #wip #i don't always work like this #i actually rarely start off in greyscale #but i do it when i'm really struggling with establishing the colours for a piece #having a gradient map to build off of is massively helpful when i'm stuck #working on the car was really throwing me off i'm not sure why #but once i opened it in it's own canvas and gave it my full focus without needing to worry about all the rest it came much easier
