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!

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 nest.It’s still in the early stages, without any details yet, but the basic structure is there!I have no idea how it will turn out since I’m learning along the way,...

Flathide Village - Landscape Sketch
It is hard to live peasfully in a world full of giant beasts.The Flathide village managed to survive the danger for a long time. And it is not a complicated big defence structures that help to protect local people, but one particular type of herb.The smell of this herb is they key to safety for locals. They can finally stop thinkining about constant eternal threats and focus on prosperity.There is one catch - this herb is very rare and sensitive. One small cut - and the whole garden is gone! Flathide people are not that friendly and oversuspeci...
Westbourne City Wall - Landscape Sketch
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 fine. But soon it became clear that the meat was... strange. It had no real nutritional value. And people who ate it regularly began to develop an unusual side effect...

Silverfin Village - Landscape Sketch
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 villagers have simply... stopped sleeping.Now, work continues day and night. No one seems to notice. No one questions it.Life goes on in Silverfin Village just as it a...

Entaria City
Entaria City - Versions [Master+ Tiers]Commissioned by Sebastian S.Get ready for the new sci-fi city!At first glance, it might seem like just an ordinary city on some distant planet — a functional base for travelers and visitors. But one detail sets it apart: a massive green structure rising from the heart of the city. It has no visible purpose, and no one is allowed to enter.What is it for? What secrets does it hide?I don’t draw this type of cities very often, but it's always a great opportunity to experiment with new designs. I even c...
