Tired artist who plays too many vidya games. Stand strong, 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇺🇦🇵🇸 friends. 💙 Monster Hunter 🎸, Horizon 🏹, GW2 🦁, TMNT 🐢, etc. ==🧡💛🤍🩵💙== Beyond the Western Deep - westerndeep.net (with @tdcpresents.bsky.social) 📇 https://linktr.ee/kobbers

Digital drawing with simulated watercolor. Two male krogan are wrestling in an abstract ring. On top is the dark-gray-plated Forsan Tank, and he's grinning down at his rusty-plated opponent Jorgal Krax. Krax has both arms around one of Tank's legs, but his own leg is being held aloft while he's on his back, so it seems his options to regain control of the situation are limited.

Digital drawing with simulated watercolor. Cironus, a Zora OC based on an orca, sits in the sand and sings as he plays his whale tooth guitar.

chunky digital ink drawing of a female charr, jogging forward while clutching her huge crystalline greatsword in both hands. A speech bubble and floating music notes show she's singing: "Bash the fascist! / Smash the fascist! / Drive 'em right back into their den!"

Short animated scene of Beyond the Western Deep protagonists Dakkan and Quinlan fighting bandits in a forest at night.

Digital drawing of a panther, colored a darkish red and shaded with a comic-style halftone texture. It stalks toward the viewer with shoulders tensed, head lowered, and ears pinned back. Its eyes, front claws, bared teeth, and flared whiskers are a high-contrast white.

Cropped preview image showing Raphael and Alopex back to back with weapons drawn, but you can only see their torsos and their grins. City buildings are visible behind. The text on the overlay identifies the zine ("Red and Rude") where this piece will be available.

Digital art of a white and tan female charr, holding a trans flag banner in one claw and her glowing prismatic greatsword in the other. She is in a wide warlike stance, baring her fearsome teeth offscreen at an unseen foe.

a series of rough digital sketches of Perrserker - brandishing his claw blades, sleeping, and adorably holding a berry.

A mixed-media drawing of a petite tuxedo cat sitting and staring bright-eyed at the viewer. The base is gray textured paper; black ink outlines, watercolor, white acrylic marker, white gel pen, and a little colored pencil are used for the cat herself. A blocky white-gold shape helps pop her out of the gray background.

The same pumpkin as in the original post, but it's in a dark room in front of a wall. The projected circle is actually circular.

Carved pumpkin on a table outside at night. The lit interior is carved in the shape of a howling werewolf. On a piece of paper behind the pumpkin, you can see a lit circle projected from a hole in the back side.

Hand-drawn poster depicting Prince John from Disney's Robin Hood. In place of his usual fur-trimmed mantle he's wearing a blue suit and red tie. A gray corruption of Sir Hiss (that is even balder somehow) is whispering "plenary authority" in his ear. The large text at the top of the poster reads: "A POX ON THE PHONY KING OF D.C."

Digital art of a white female charr, holding a trans flag banner in one claw and her glowing prismatic greatsword in the other. She is in a wide warlike stance, snarling toothily offscreen at an unseen foe.

rough digital sketch of lutren (otter) Captain Kenosh looking very scruffy and tired with circles under his eyes, staring into camera with a sort of deadpan annoyance. He's clutching a mug of coffee that reads "#1 Diplomat."

Photo of a posterboard sign lying in the grass. Drawn on the sign is Captain America from the waist up, holding his shield and looking serious. His belt says "NO KINGS" on it. Larger text framing the drawing reads "I DON'T LIKE [orange text] BULLIES"

Two unrelated rough sketches of the same female charr. In the first, she is side eyeing the viewer over her shoulder, looking annoyed. In the second, we see her silhouette from under the surface of a body of water, assuming the POV of a fish in the foreground. She is gripping the edge of a boat and staring predatorily into the water at the fish, two flashes of light where her eyes should be. Overlaid is a bit of Guild Wars 2 UI that shows the completion of the massive fishing meta-achievement.

screenshot from Guild Wars 2. A white charr stands in a neutral pose. She wears a massive chunky blue scarf, crossbelts around her otherwise bare chest, heavy leather tassets and cloth sashes at her waist, bracers, and ornate armored boots. Her general color scheme is white, blue, and gold/brass. On her back is a crystalline greatsword with tendrils of golden light swooping out of the crossguard.

Text in the upper corner gives her name and class: Azurah Iceblade, level 80 Firebrand.

Digital art in the style of a pencil and watercolor sketch. A golden-colored male charr sits at a table, holding out a mystical-looking piece of resin (meant to be elder spirit residue). He has a loupe held in one eye and some jeweler-adjacent tools on the table in front of him. Leaning on the table is a white female charr, also looking at the piece of resin with understated wonder. In her other hand she holds Dragon's Insight, the precursor staff that he will be helping her upgrade.

A rough digital sketch of a horse. It looks mostly okay, though there are three sets of question marks around the chest, shoulders, and hips. These are spots where I'm not confident in my construction.

Soyjak pointing meme. The two meme characters are pointing to ingame renders of Deviljho and Xeno'jiiva, creatures from Monster Hunter. By Deviljho's head is a numerical timestamp (1:03) pinpointing when in G. Arkveld's phase 2 theme you can hear a probable reference to Deviljho's theme. By Xeno'jiiva's head is another timestamp (2:00) which is likely also a reference to its own (second phase) theme. Given the concepts of insatiable hunger and unnatural origins present in Monster Hunter Wild's ultimate clash with Arkveld, I believe these references to be appropriate c:

epic handshake meme format, depicting two muscular arms clasping hands. The text over the left man's arm says "devour feculence," and the text over the right man's arm says "silflay hraka, u embleer rah."

A series of four digital sketches of Raphael the ninja turtle, in the artist's personal style. They are shaded with monochromatic dull red watercolor.
The first sketch shows Raph with a bloodied snout, holding a sai in his right hand as he wipes blood off his face with his left. The second sketch shows Raph catching a Foot ninja's sword with one sai while he stabs him in the torso with the other. The third sketch shows Raph doing a spinning jump kick in the direction of the viewer. The fourth sketch shows Raph crouching in a defensive stance, holding his sais in a reverse grip to protect his arms.

A crop of the comic page I drew for the zine. The main visible panel shows a somber Leonardo sitting by a campfire in the forest. He's wearing the shawl from his Northampton hunting phase in Mirage TMNT #11.

The same Lion King still as above, of Mufasa getting wrecked by a wildebeest, but a series of blurry red hearts have been arranged around the point of impact.

Quite probably my favorite smear frame of all time, from The Lion King. Mufasa is getting vehicular assaulted by a wildebeest, and his body and head are stretched out in a wild arc as he takes the hit.

Worth noting that he got back up and kept running after this, though >:O

Very rough digital sketch of Dakkan, wide-eyed and looking extremely concerned. "QUIN?!" appears under his face in big bold letters. Partially visible panel lines show this is a small crop of a larger whole.

Three digital doodles shaded in a watercolor style, with aggressive fire glows applied on top. All three feature Azurah Iceblade, my Guild Wars 2 player character - a female charr with white fur. In doodle 1 she is tying on a heavy work apron, lit from behind by an implied but invisible forge. In doodle 2, she stands over a table and parchment with pen in hand, considering the sword design drawn on the parchment. In doodle 3, she is folding a bar of glowing hot metal on an anvil.

A comic page, done as close to the style of the original Mirage TMNT as I could. Black and white, with digital watercolor accents on just the red masks of the four Turtles. Our heroes are fighting Triceratons (bipedal dinosaur aliens).
Panel 1: Michelangelo dodges a punch from a roaring opponent. "WOOP! Little Tric-ERROR-ton with that aim!"
Panel 2: Raphael is midair in a leaping pose. "Ya think they're getting dino-SORE??"
The rest of the page is a large open panel. One Triceraton has grabbed Donatello's bo and is pulling him high into the air with it. Another alien crouches behind, shooting his space gun at Leonardo, who deflects the beam with his katana.
Donatello: "SMART aliens would stand down PRONTOsaurus- YOW!"
Leonardo: "Dammit, can we FOCUS please?"

A close-up picture of my fingers holding Ohio's "I voted" sticker.

Screenshot of the rewards from the hunt, primarily monster parts. The highlighted item is a Rey Dau Boltgem, and the flavor text reads: "A rare jewel that developed within a Rey Dau. Said to wield the power of ten thousand storms."

Screenshot from the Monster Hunter Wilds beta. In a dark overcast environment of sand and cliffs, the golden wyvern Rey Dau lies dead, facing the camera head on. One of the massive horns jutting from either side of its head is broken. The hunter stands in front of the intact horn, which is a bit longer than she is tall. Slung on her back is the giant saxophone she used to hunt the beast.

Screenshot from the Monster Hunter Wilds beta. In a golden grassland landscape, an explosion dominates the right side of the screen. The player character desperately rolls away, just outside the blast zone. The bottom half of the lightning wyvern Rey Dau can be seen in the air a short distance away.

Hua, a female hunter in a loose orange shirt and sensible pants stands next to Jumpkin, a longhaired ginger palico. The screenshot is from a menu in the Monster Hunter Wilds beta.

A hunter with poofy silk pants, Kulve Taroth chest armor, and a flowy scarf plays an echo note on his hunting horn.

Colored sketch of two Brachydios on either side of a volleyball net. One leaps into the air, ready to spike a tiny midair hunter downward with its heavy foreleg. The other stands ready to receive. Brachydios is a bipedal reptilian monster with indigo scales and a bright green slime on its huge blunt forelimbs and pillar-like forehead crest. At the end of its tail is a feature that resembles a flanged mace.

Rough color sketch of Lunagaron, a monster that looks like a scaly gray-blue werewolf with prominent ice spikes along its back and chest. It lunges forward, supporting its weight on its rear legs as it sweeps its huge foreclaws in a double slash. The slash has ripped an X shape into the snow in front of it.

A killscreen from Monster Hunter Rise. It shows the hunter high in the air, registering a hit on the tail of a floating serpentine dragon with her glaive. The floor of the Coral Palace arena can be seen behind and below, with a second hunter visible on the ground for scale.

Colored sketch of a Legiana in flight, its talons extending forward to capture some unseen prey. Legiana is a slender dragon with large finned wings - the contrast between round lobed shapes and sleek pointed shapes, paired with high contrast blue markings, remind me of the blue dragon sea slug.

Two monsters roar in each others' faces: Doshaguma, a monster that looks like a mashup of a bear and lion with the jowls of a bulldog; and Balahara, a monster that resembles a scaly otter with a gaping three-lobed maw for a head. The drawing is digital, but done to look like a sketch on brown paper, with watercolor shading and rough outlining in a more opaque white.

Sketch page featuring explorations of a petite female kobold. She's a blend of both the rodent and draconic flavors of kobold. At the bottom corner is a scene where she is swearing viciously at a sheepish scarred dragonborn twice her height. She's the book-keeper for the bakery he runs as a retired mercenary, and he's been giving away too many free samples.

A digital drawing of the four Ninja Turtles on a rooftop, posed as if they're in a group photo. Raphael and Leonardo are fairly stoic, but Michelangelo is flashing a wide grin and has his hand on top of Donatello's head. The style heavily references the gritty black and white tones of the Mirage volume 1 Turtles, but with an added red accent for all four masks. Text at the bottom reads "1984-2024" and "40 freakin' years!"

digital sketch and watercolor of a Great Girros from Monster Hunter. It's secured to a wooden frame while a human woman and two palicoes give it a scrub. Its large cobra-like fangs are safely secured with a cute pink muzzle with leather sheaths.

Due to the screenshot in question being a single line of text, the crop zooms in extremely close to achieve a square aspect ratio, leaving only a highly blurred "ha."

A series of rough sketches of Jath, a male dragonborn. The main goal was exploring how his head and horns are constructed, though there is also one focused on his overall (burly) physique and how his most prominent scale plates are arranged.

Promo graphic for the zine, featuring a sneak peek at a single panel from my page. Michelangelo dodges a heavy punch from a Triceraton, quipping "Woop! Little Tric-error-ton with that aim!"

The art is black and white with halftone shading, with red color accents for the Turtles' masks. I targeted the early-mid Mirage era for the style.

Sketch page featuring Donatello, using my own personal TMNT design. It would be excessive to describe all individual drawings, but generally they are exploring his arrangement of gear and a couple action poses.

Highlights: a drawing of Donatello dressed in a full tool apron and resting a long spanner on his shoulder. A text block explains that due to my heavy lean toward "low fantasy" Turtles, this Don's more MacGuyver than high-tech inventor. Another series of doodles explores how the Turtles could modify pants to wear with a shell.

Colored sketch of Monoblos, a stocky wyvern with a Styracosaurus-like frill and long nose horn. It has managed to charge that nose horn deep into a rocky cliff face, and glares at the viewer with one fierce eye as it struggles to pull itself free.

Rook, an anthro polecat, and Beck, an anthro otter, exchange glances after realizing the person they were introducing themselves to is missing some crucial and very unpleasant context.

Colored sketch of Tigrex, a muscular orange and blue striped wyvern with a tyrannosaur-like head. Some blood drips from its panting mouth, and it has one large wing-claw placed possessively on the body of its prey. The corpse belonged to an Apceros, similar to an ankylosaur with a turtle shell on its back.

Colored sketch of Dodogama, a monster in the shape of a stubby blue lizard with an orange tail and stripes. It's stuffing its large mouth with rocks scooped off the ground. A few quartz-like crystal formations are suggested in the background. It's just a Good Boy.

A rough digital painting of Lunastra, a blue lionlike dragon with large blocky horns. She is breathing bright blue fire off the bottom left of the image, which illuminates her in the darkness.

Colored sketch of a Gendrome sleeping in the shadow of a red rock, with two Genprey cuddled up to it. All resemble slim yellow-and-green raptors with pointed brow crests and elongated fangs, though these are more pronounced on the larger Gendrome.

A colored sketch of a Yian Kut-Ku sitting on the ground. It has a goofy birdlike body with draconic wings, a large round frill, and a very heavy birdlike beak. Its expression is endearingly vacant.
