I am trying to post at least 1 piece of art every day so I can stay in practice. Some is original artwork, some is fan art, and some have been drawn/painted from photographs.
Dragon Quest VII last boss Orgodemir. Super fun but all the details took so long. I inked/painted this from a low res design by Akira Toriyama. I’ll admit I had to guess at a lot of the details but that is what kept this fun! #illustration #art #dragonquest #drawings #drawing #jrpg #watercolor #inkdrawing #akiratoriyama #painting #paintings #fanart #fanartist #rpg #rpgcharacter #digitalart #digitalillustration #procreate #monster #monsterart #creature #creatureart https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcq_WwrLt5/?igshid=1j3kfc1z61yb6
Happy holidays! Posted this just the other day, but someone pointed out to me that my son (on the left lol) didn’t have a nose. So I added a nose and I feel like it looks so much better I decided to post again. #happyholidays #merrychristmas #happyhanukkah #happykwanzaa #あけましておめでとうございます #illustration #art #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #painting #paintings #inkdrawing #draw #drawing #peanuts #shultz #charlesshultz #snoopy #snoopyandwoodstock #snoopdogg #snoopydog https://www.instagram.com/p/CJO-MaXr00O/?igshid=1e9u6h9qxx5g3

King slime! Dragon quest fan art day number 5. Not sure how long I will keep this up, but it sure is fun while it lasts! Once again this monster was designed by Akira Toriyama just like everything in DQ. #ドラゴンクイエスト #fanart #fanartanime #fanarts #illustration #art #dragonquest #dragonquestxi #dragonquest11 #kingslime #drawing #drawings #artist #artistsupport #jrpg #jrpgs #rpgart #rpgfanart #rpgfanartist #jrpgfanart #akiratoriyama #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #cartoonart #cartoonartist #animeart #animeartist #cartoonart #cartoonartstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CI82Ic1L_a4/?igshid=1uzx6tcy3nwys
Another starter Pokémon, charmander. Once again, I love this design! Super cute and super appealing shapes. I wish I knew what the original designer’s name was. Did this painting a while ago. One of these days I will redo it in watercolor.
Even though I love Akira Toriyama’s designs already, I have a lot more appreciation for them as I make this fan art. The simplicity, the balance, everything is beautiful, I hope I am able to do them Justice!
From time to time I love to paint Pokémon, especially the simple cute ones. The designs are amazing and so appealing. Only by drawing and painting them myself do I get a true appreciation of how nuanced and well thought out the designs are, from lineflow to the subtle balance of eyes and head to body size.
More Akira Toriyama fan art! I’ve loved these designs for years. The first time I played a Dragon Quest game I fell in love with the characters, the enemies and all of the art direction. It always took me to a happy comfortable place. Feeling that same happy feeling drawing all these monsters!
Working on switching up my painting style. This is my take on a Toriyama Dragon Quest design. Had a lot of fun with this. Always nice to change things every once in a while!
Pirate, drawing/painting WIP. Having a lot of fun with this character design! He is very different than the characters I usually design, I am going to put this style in my back pocket and use it from time to time because it is super fun. I’m going to have to figure out what artist influenced me on this one and then give them credit but right now I can’t figure out who it is.
