Soapstone carving I did in high school, late 1990's. Owl on a post, reference used was from a bird book art teacher had on hand. Simple tools used; files, 3 grades of steel wool, I think hair spray used at final stage as a seal.
Concept art piece. A large orb of blood hovers above the dias in the center of a ruined circular room. Broken stone tablets and iron chains litter the ground around the dias. The room is lit by a couple of wall mounted torches crafted in the shape of some horned horror. The blood orb radiates a dim red light, and the spiked humanoid form of the blood god is barely visible inside.
Character reference for Arsolvet the blood god in her true physical form, along with three variations of her favorite human form. Her true form stands around nine feet tall. Horned head, four glowing eyes, lip-less mouth of sharp teeth. Her skin is semi-transparent red that appears to move and flow like a pool of thick blood. On her neck, back and shoulders down to her ribs, as well as forearm and foreleg are dark red growths with spikes. Her human form is a red-headed woman standing around five foot eight, green eyes, sun-bronzed skin coloration. The three forms are nude reference, leather travel armor, and formal white dress.

Side comic relating to the game Palworld. This represents my first time finding an Alpha pal. Frame 1, character meets the glowing Cattiva Alpha and says how cute it is. Frame 2, 'boops' the Cattiva with a pal sphere in an attempt to capture it saying "I must have you". Frame 3, the attempt fails and the Cattiva is shocked, then angry, saying "You are already dead" - a throwback to a meme that went around some time ago. Frame 4, character is shocked and frightened, holding up an arm in defense and commenting about a strange power charging up. Frame 5, character is disintegrated by Solar Blast in a reference to the movie Terminator 1.
She stands in a purple dress embroidered with the golden symbol for chaos. Many sections are covered with spiked red metallic plates. Her dress is bound by a golden ring sitting just below her collarbone. Chains connect several sections of the armor. Large feathered black wings stretch out, each feather tipped in a fiery red, just like her wild and long hair. In one hand, she holds a double-bit silver axe with runes along the blades. Her other hand is engulfed in purple flames. A black tail loops around behind her in the symbol for infinity, reflecting the bright light of blue runes illuminating the floor. Columns of light from the rune rise up to the night sky.

This is my demon OC with a concept twist in honor of Mer-May, my first entry into this particular event. My demon OC messes with a water temple during May, their month of power, gets caught and is punished by being transformed into a Merfolk of the Orca flavor. This red demon has half of their body magically modified into the black and white body of a male orca (tall thin fin) with a few elements that still marks him as a demon. The scene is in a clear blue ocean near the surface, sunlight streaming down into the darker water.
Arnkit, full name Arnkit'atla-husfrey'irkir, is the matron dragon of the Forest Flight of the Crulean Crest Tropics, lifemate to Verthrik, mother to four hatchlings: Smara-kogur, Vred'tiss, Herinn, and Kyrvat. She is a large green dragon standing several human lenghts tall, and has a large green crystal floating above her claws. Thicker brown plates run from her forehead down her tail that also supports a large retractable fin like sail that stands a few feed above each plate. She is an envoy of the Dragon Nation to the city of Alabandrin.
Terraria themed character piece. This is my pre-hardmode Terraria character with various notable equipment and toys from the game. The Imp Staff is on her back, with three imps flying around her. She is wearing the dark obsidian armor, sun flail on the ground, minishark at her side, and a few others. She is a Lamia (snake hybrid) because I wanted to have her keep a cosmetic that turned her into a mermaid on land, but it made more sense for a lamia instead. This was the first version of what ultimately became the lamia concept for my Terraria comic.

Blood-red lake of corrosive semi-liquid crashes into a town. A wall and hut shatters against it's force, while a soldier's bones fly up in a column of blood. The blood god Arsolvet is in the far background, commanding her war machine, flanked by two spiked spinal column segments snaking through the blood. The sky is blue with a few clouds, storm clouds off to the right. This construct is a biological war machine the blood god constructed to help her subjugate and devour the world. It quickly became more problematic to utilize, but not before many armies and nations were dissolved and consumed by the blood god. This is one of her most haunting memories, now that Arsolvet has, in book 1, developed empathy for mortals. The guilt of this, and many other such instances, had shattered her sanity.

Brown eyed human standing in plain clothes with an ominous shadow resembling his true form. Father to the main character in book 2. Survived a brutal attack on their caravan over the mountains, saved by a mixed town of farmers. The farmers adopted him and his wife, who soon gave birth to the main character.

Night scene in the hills over the city Alabandrin, Jeron and P'traltis rest in the snow and take in the view. Arnkit and her family fly overhead in the distance. The sky is lit by the aurora and the three moons. -This was a challenge piece done in about a day; no real planning but I like how it turned out for the time spent.
Snail like creature with support tendrils anchored to the cavern wall. There is an attached bowl like structure on one side with blood in it. Front side of the creature is a mass of red and purple tentacles. Function of this creature is to feed populations with its detachable tentacles. When they turn red, they are ready to be pulled off and consumed (most prefer to cook first). They will regenerate like lizard tails with additional blood donations in the basin. Original versions had elongated fangs and grappling claws that were meant for attaching to Arsolvet's great warbeasts skeletal structure and carried into warzones as mobile food sources. Those versions would leech material from the warbeasts digestive tract, which was usually filled with the dead and dying from the battlefield, from all sides.

Mashup fanart between Metroid and Warframe: Samus Frame! Operator Samus is in her standard blues with Warframe equipment. Oposite her is the famous orange and red Metroid game suit designed as a fusion with the Hildryn Warframe from the Warframe game. Also in the foreground are three companions from my playthrough, as well as a little metroid. The setting is on Deimos, but modified facade to include Metroid themed additions such as the Chozo bust and Samus sigil on the door. Warframe Entrati family crests hang on the wall above the door. The iconic Metroid golden boss statue in the background depics four pivotal figures from the Warframe game. Also in the background is a morph ball track rising out of Deimos infested fungal growths leading up to a door in the corner.

Mashup fanart of my World of Warcraft Dracthyr character along with many elements of Guild Wars 2. My Dracthyr is in dragon form, wielding the GW2's Timekeeper greatsword in one hand, WoW's Obsidian Edged Blade in the other. Legendary blacksmith's belt around his waist with a Horde flag attached. GW2 golden dragon queen cosmetic attached to the wings. GW2 jeweled headpiece and fire horn cosmetic on the head. Character is in the Auric Basic in GW2, standing on a fallen Anduin face-down in the grass, with other fallen Alliance soldiers and broken siege equipment in the background. Dracthyr is flanked by two dragons: Aurene from GW2, and my WoW Netherdrake from Burning Crusade expansion. The Horde's airship Orgrim's Hammer floats above the battlefield.

D&D character concept art: Tesla Bard! Gnome woman with Bard and Artificer work, sitting on top of a copper Draconian warrior. Two tesla coils on either side of her. Lightning striking all around them, centered on the blue gemstones on them, one bolt launching outward off screen. Background is a dark blue-stone dungeon.

Tribute piece to an old original Nintendo game Abadox, released 1989. Golden armor space guy floating against a starscape. He has a plasma rifle in both hands and is surrounded by four golden orb devices keeping him safe. Lettering at the bottom spells out the game name Abadox, replicating the style of the title. As with the original version, half of the lettering is covered in bloody gore.

Character reference for P'traltis, love interest of the Song of the Devilstorm's main character in book 2. She is an Ascenris, centaur type creature based on a panther instead of a horse. Minimized feline features in torso and head, though still has a short snout, fangs, ears, and toe beans on all six limbs. Hands are humanoid/cat hybrid, four mobility limbs are more aligned with true panthers. She has flowing red hair against her coal black fur, which also has a skin pattern akin to panthers that can be seen with infrared light. Brilliant amber eyes with flecks of blue/teal. The quad reference shows her in different clothing, from formal dress, cargo setup, casual work, and full plate armor.

My wife's avatar as the more feline version of herself; serval cat. She has cats-eye frame glasses, a unique glowing blue horn, a collar with a brass plate that reads "I lyke cheez", her large ears are pierced by many silver rings, one silver eyebrow stud, large black stereo headpones around her neck, and her four paws have blue classic roller-skates with a rainbow icon over purple socks. Her form is resting on a large pile of silver chainmail rings, with several more personal artifacts. This is all situated on the bridge of a Star Wars Star Destroyer bridge with other normal cats walking around or playing musical instruments.
Work In Progress. Concept piece. Red waves crashing against a town, dissolving stone, wood, flesh, bone, and metal together. The blood ooze lake is breaking through the city wall on the left, dissolving and consuming everything. One person being dissolved in the bottom center. Sketch of future work in center of the blood god Arsolvet commanding her war machine. Waves of blood crashing over a house on the top right.

Her human form is a red-headed woman standing around five foot eight, green eyes, sun-bronzed skin coloration. The three forms are nude reference, leather travel armor, and formal white dress.
Character reference for Marfon the Aznodian. Old and young pose showing all his scars. Blue eyes, dark brown hair, light skin. Additionally showing the seed of living armor gifted to him by the blood god. Once implanted, it grows over his body in a dark viscous material that eventually grows armor. Early stages of armor are small crimson scales. Later stages cover his entire body with larger crimson scales. Late stage also begins to change his anatomy, seen externally in his augmented compound eyes. Marfon is the Avatar of the blood god Arsolvet. He enters book 1 as an old man tracking down a death cult, meeting the blood god for the first time after that fight.

This is a general map for the city of Alabandrin, primary area in at least the first two books of my Song of the Devilstorm series. It sits in a valley between two mountain chains. It is constructed as a circle amphitheater with a 3% grade down to the center, which is raised 150 feet. In each cardinal direction, a highway stretches out from the central raised area to the edges of the city. Each of the 25 rings of roads are 200 feet across. There is a lazy river under the city, fed by surrounding rivers, which is publically accessible for entertainment and romantic events. East region outside the city is a large lake with access to the ocean. There is a tunnel under the southeast mountain range that allows for boat travel to the ocean, guarded by one of the six castles at each entrance. Roads extend out from all four main exits of the city, but the eastern road is a bridge that extends over the lake to the nearest landmass off of this map.
