Hey there Lodal,
Very impressive portfolio! You did great!
Don't be scared to post 'too much'. No such thing as posting too much! :smile:
(There's a forum badge that you can earn for posting a lot too :wink: )

Hello Shia,

Thank you very much for the kind words, I appreciate it. I'll keep that in mind for next time, I have lots of pieces (both professional and personal) planed for the upcoming months.
Have a nice day!

Hey there, it has been a while!

A crop of a big Symbaroum (Check it out if you don't know that pen and paper RPG, it is great) personal illustration in the work inspired by a scenario we played a while ago... It isn't even a third of the complete picture for now.

My portfolio was lacking big complete illustrations so I have been busy on this one between client works.

And before you ask why the woman, Kelva, has no clothes on her top, she was a changeling shapeshifter witch who could turn into beasts and she'll have animals skulls on her belt, furs and of course arms aha. Same for the guy, Derkan, he'll have legs, he's not a ghost, this is still an early WIP but I hope you like it and that you are intrigued.

Comments and critics are obviously welcome, even at this early stage.

Thank you for your time!

I think it's coming along really, really well. I love the mood and the rendering so far. Pretty solid stuff!

Thank you very much! I'm having tons of fun with, unfortunately, I'll have to put it on hold for now. I have new client work to do. But I'll come back to it as soon as I can.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Also a quick preview of a current full-body character lineart commission of a D&D Demon Huntress that's going to be finished in the upcoming days. I have 6 other sci-fi bust linearts upcoming as well so stay tuned for more :wink: ! Until then enjoy, the end of the year!

First of all, Happy New Year and best wishes!

First personal sketch of this new year.

Here is my interpretation of a female Changeling of the Symbaroum universe with a little lovecraftian and 20ies influence. I like the idea of mixing these two universes that are close to my heart, maybe a personal project to explore for this new year...

I often do these kind of research / sketches but I do not post them, would you be interested if I posted more of these and more often?

A new one from this evening, same theme and idea but with a Gobelin this time :smile:

hey, it's really cool, I love this values! Did you use sharpen filter to achieve this texture? or some kind of texture brushes/layer styles?

Wauw! Really love this!
Especially the last portrait shows a lot of character.

@vambam Thank you very much :smile: , it is a mix of both, textured brushes and playing with smart sharpen options.

@Shia Thank you very much :smile: ! I'm glad to hear that, others are coming, as well as linedrawings I did for rpg players, stay tuned :wink:

I know I'd be interested to see more of those :wink:

@cedricgo Thank you very much! I'll try my best :wink:

@Shia Thank you very much, I see it from time to time in my feed, I'm honored, it means a lot, thanks a lot for the support and the help, I really appreciate it! :smiley:
