WIP - Spaceships
In the process of creating spaceships — a very unusual thing for me!
It’s always a challenge to try new things, but essentially every theme, from medieval fantasy to sci-fi, starts with the same basic stuff: perspective, composition, shape design, etc.
Knowing the basics really makes everything easier to break down - and actually finish!

Here's some progress on the city with a slightly different and more cartoony style.
Very exciting to work on this, stay tuned for the final soon!

Hi everyone!
I really loved the previous region sketch we finished together, so I decided to do another one!
I’ve shown the main terrain features - mountains, hills, a couple of rivers, one volcano on the island to start with, and that’s it.
You can suggest absolutely anything - from new climate zones and forests to small locations!

Hi!
For some time I've worked on art for the Hear The Bell Toll, the roguelike city-builder. It's the first project where you can clearly see my direct contribution - it's like you are building the city with my style of drawing!

Drusk Region Sketch - Finished
I posted the small region earlier and got some great comments with possible locations to add!
The suggestions couldn’t have been more different - from a coral reef and a dragon’s lair to a herd of mammoths! I also added a couple of details of my own. It was such a fun process to fill the map with all these icons and little things!
Here’s the result! Thank you to everyone who s...

Personal Project - Owlbear's Hut
So I’ve really gotten into mini painting and dioramas recently. It’s all completely new to me (especially working with real brushes and paints).
I’ve finished a couple of figures already, and now I really want to try something bigger - building a whole diorama with figures!
I sketched a few ideas and really liked this one: an old, abandoned hut where an Owlbear has built its n...

Hi everyone!
I'm back from my mini-vacation, though with a bit of a flu. While I'm recovering (and playing board games), let's do something different.
I did a mini region map in Procreate. As you can see, it's lack some points of interest. And it's nameless too.
So, I need your help with it.

It is hard to live peasfully in a world full of giant beasts.

Westbourne is a normal city for most of the year. Generations of people have lived and worked here. But everything changes.
A few years ago, giant beasts began appearing near the city. They came closer and closer, and the locals had no choice but to hunt them to protect the city from the growing threat.
The beasts provided the city with plenty of meat, and at first everything seemed...

Everything seems normal in Silverfin Village.
The locals go about their daily work, boats full of fish come and go from the village pier, and the smell of smoked fish lingers in the air. Nothing much has changed here for generations - until recently.
Something is different about the fish caught in the nearby lake. It tastes better. Smells fresher. And after eating it regularly, the ...

I’ve only worked on modern maps a couple of times before, but none of them were this big or detailed. It was truly a challenge to design an entire city layout completely from scratch.
