I summoned this interdimensional puppy to slobber all over your carpet. Fuck you.

This one’s relatively new! About two months maybe?

Playing around with this style. Bust with minimal background. These days I’m tryng to give my linework a bit more dynamism, while also simplifying the color process

EATER OF ELDERS NERGIGANTE

Yet another MonHun fanart I did last year. Yes, I really got into it again with MHW, and Nergigante’s design is fucking dope

RUDE AWAKENING

Piece I made last year (I think?). It was a blast! I wanted to go crazy with a chimera design, and make it really weird and o over the top aggressive looking, as a chimera should be. Then I had to paint it a couple of unfortunate snacks. Truly a breakfast in bed!

Also, I heard Tumblr doesn’t take kindly to NSFW material anymore, even if it’s not explicit at all like this. If it gets blocked I’ll put him in a thong or something.

You know that's not how the Sphinx is spelled?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphynx_cat

The titular “Sphynx” in my story is a big hairless cat, like the actual breed of hairless cats, which is spelled with a “y”

The original story is written in spanish, and the spanish word for both the mythical animal and the cat is the same word, “Esfinge”.

I opted to make the distinction when translating to english, and name her after the breed of cat she’s modeled after, rather than the egiptian monster. Its still pronounced the same, so it preserves some of the original intent.

DAUGHTER OF THE SPHYNX III

Yet another illustration I made featuring the main characters of the comic I made last semester

BEHEMOTH

I love the Final Fantasy’s Behemoth design in ALL its iterations

DAUGHTER OF THE SPHYNX II

Aother proof of concept thing for my comic project I did this year, showcasing the main character, Aela, tearing through some vicious chimeras.

KABUTERIMON

Last year I also participated in a Digimon fanzine!

I remember when I was a wee little boy and I first watched Digimon on the TV after school. It made such a huge impact in me and my creativeness! 

When the kids were attacked by Kuwagamon (big red stag beetle monster) I thought it was the coolest monster design ever! Well, let me tell you, when I found out one of the good guys could turn into a rad ass alien-bug creature too,  it fucking blew my mind right off!

BEST evolution line on the series no questions asked, period.

GODESS OF BIRTH

Part of a series of illustrations I made in 2017. I produced six illustrations for a pantheon of deities I came up with. 

This one would be the Mother God of life, birth and all beginnings.

DEVILMAN

Devilman piece I did back when Devilman Crybaby came out on Netflix!

I think that show was very much a “you love it or you hate it” kinda deal. I personally really enjoyed it, and thought it was a very interesting take on the character and story, and the visuals were very striking.

QUEEN OF FLAME LUNASTRA

Another Monster Hunter fanart I did las year! Lunastra this time, which design I’ve always loved..

I wish hers and Teostra’s armors were cooler tho. Didn’t really fight her in MH Freedom Unite that much for that reason, but at least she’s got some dope wepons in MH World!

[grimonomicon]

Last year illustrations I did for the Lifeform Drawing Club on Instagram. The was was “Alien” or “Sci-fi”? I can’t remember. Something to that effect.

I actually did the one on the right  first, and later picked and changed the colors in PS to make the colored version on the left. Kind of a roundabout process I never repeated, but I was satisfied with the outcome.

WORLD EATER DEVILJHO

Got back into Monster Hunter with MHW last year andI’ve been enjoying it a lot! Can’t wait for that Iceborne

This one of the MH fanarts I did inspired by it.

Landscape practice.

Yeah I do like deserts...

DAUGHTER OF THE SPHYNX

“A lone child is born from a broken prophecy. Not a hero, but a killer. Beast-spawn. Executor of vengeance“

Illustration/concept art I did of the main character of my comic project. It was the first design for Aela (girl) and the Sphynx (big cat mom) I was satisfied with. 

December of 2018, I think.

UPDATE

So it’s been a while huh? I don’t remember when was the last time I used this website regularly. I think I dropped a couple of times back in to shamelessly promote my instagram or my twitter (@grimonomicon on both btw...) and that’s it.

I just couldn’t be arsed to manage more than one art sites, so I left Tumblr in favor of Instagram where I was growing faster. In time, Insta changed for the worse too, so I figured I'd come back here to give it another whirl. Maybe two bad websites combined would equal using a good one?. But I digress...

In the time I’ve been gone I kept drawing, I finished my college studies and graduated. For my last year in college I drew and wrote a +20 pages comic called Daughter of the Sphynx, a sword and sorcery story about a feral girl bred by a legendary beast, kicking ass in the desert. It’s been my greatest project to date where I sank the most time and effort yet. 

It is my very first finished comic, so I have mixed feelings about the end resut, but I learned a whole lot from it, and I’m confident my next will be much better.

 I’m planning on realeasing the whole thing online and translated soon for everyone to read.

I’ll be sharing what I’ve been doing since I left here on the coming weeks. For the people that started following me on my other sites it’ll be old news, but I’ll eventually catch up. I still like Tumblr as a digital portfolio kinda thing.
