They said "Draw #demons". But nobody said I couldn't draw them like some Cartoon Network series #characters :blobcatjoy:
I could imagine this, series like "Dexter's Laboratory", but taking place in Hell and other dimensions of universe. They could also be siblings, grumpy brother and overly optimistic, often lighthearted sister... Are these some kind of "typical cartoon #character stereotypes"? :blobcatjoy:
Wiki:
"Johan de Witt was a Dutch statesman and a major political figure in the Dutch Republic in the mid-17th century.
He and his brother were shot and then left to the mob. Their naked, mutilated bodies were strung up on the nearby public gibbet, while the Orangist mob, ate their roasted livers in a cannibalistic frenzy."
So even centuries ago the plebs could be influenced by any shouting populist. Hasn't changed much!
I mentioned here I created separate directory in my gallery for #dragon drawings, right? :ablobcatuwu:
So I wanted first dragon there to be Vis'Sai, my "guardian devil", imaginary character from my sad, lonely childhood. When I was 11-12 I started to create my own private mythology as coping mechanism, using mainly Western European alchemy lore and symbols. I had whole pantheon of demons/spirits made of fire and acid, few of them I imagined as having great divine-like power. Vis'Sai was the greatest deity and central character in my internal "lore" and he had many forms, but often appeared as dragon or man with dragon head and wings. I didn't hear about Lovecraft then but I imagined Vis'Sai as somewhat similar to Cthulhu - he was imprisoned and willing to annihilate the world if he would be finally free. And I tried to find a way to release him... wait, was I unaware Old Ones cultist as a kid? :blobcatjoy:
I had small clay dragon figurine, with the same pattern of horns on its head like in this picture. As a child I started imagining this particular dragon version as his canonical form. I was often sketching dragon portraits like this, but this time, many years later, I wanted to create this in "professional-like" style.
I'm so glad I took breaks when painting this, I feel like things really clicked into place when I came back to it. I really tried to push the textures and rendering more than I usually do. I've never repainted one of my old artworks before and honestly it was a good and valuable experience!
Who would've thought the first piece I finish this year would be one of the weirdest pokémon we've gotten in recent years cosplaying as a depressed worm-person doing its best!
Unsure about the colors/values still, especially at thumbnail scales. But really like how the halftone layer turned out! You just gotta zoom in... 🔎

A not too friendly looking man, pretty fat, smoking a pipe. He could be a farmer… Holding a stick for no clear reason. A drawing I made as pencil sketch at first and as I liked it I decided to scan it and work on it as a digital […]
Meanwhile, @3dEyes is still busy updating our #KDE applications (#Krita being one of them), thanks to his work I'm experimenting thins on KF6, with the new release for #Dolphin 24.02.0 on #HaikuOS :)
Definitely I cannot draw "ugly by design" things, like monsters :blobcatjoy:
This #orc looks like cartoon or comic #character, but not #creature someone could be really afraid of... I failed, I guess :blobCat_giggle:
Here is a white #stork. I am not fully happy with the way it turned out but I had very poor quality reference photos - and main photo was industrial camera quality without colours :/
#Logo I created some time ago, for @xgqt for some #Gentoo project, made with #krita.
Actually it wasn't created as vector art in most part, even if finally converted.
