So happy to finally show you all what I have been working on during this semester of school - a fully textured and posable 3D model of my oc - Rutyk and his little urn companion - Dzbanek!

To create this project I used zbrush, substance painter and blender and I really fell in love with the process!

Stickers of my characters - Lechior and Rutyk, that I made for myself because I love them ❤

Some older art of my oc Lechior - a fantasy warrior cursed into the body of a unicorn like beast who really wanted to be a human again. It depicts 3 stages of his life - animal, youth and present day. (Someday I will post his whole lore I promisee)

Something really different from me this time! This whole past semester in school I have been working on my first proper 3D head sculpt and of course I chose to create one of my oc- Lechior to make the process a lot more enjoyabe!

I am really proud of myself on this one ★

A little part of an Illustration project I'm making for school. I decided to illustrate one of my favourite children's poems ever - "Psie smutki" (Doggie sorrows) by Jan Brzechwa :-)

This past month a group of my talented friends (check out the guys on their socials here: VeePlusCtrl, @martvy-jpeg,) and I have been working on a short horror game based around christian iconography for a monthly game jam! We ourselves are not very religious at all but the christian trauma made us think about some interesting horror elements. Here are some of my concepts and sprites I did for the game :-)

We are very excited to share the game with you and hope you enjoy this little experience!

Chapter I: Death foretold. Lechior, an ancient warrior of olden tales believed to be cursed into the body of a beast as punishment for his pride, was doomed to a certain death from the moment his human body morphed into the body of a creature. On the dreaded day, his corpse became a blessing for one lonely and strange, forest-dwelling hermit.

(A first little snippet of the story of my ocs. I'd like to finally reveal it in a few parts, as I've been working on it for a very long time and wasn't sure whether to post it. Excuse my shitty writing - it's just trying to set some mood.)

Illustration commission for @soggydogggy ! Thank you so so much for letting me draw one of my favourtie characters ever and design a shirt art for you! I had so much fun with this commission, thank you so so much again :-)

Illustration commission of a scene from a book depicted from descriptions :-) Piece done for an anonymous commissioner, thank you so much for your patience and the opportunity to design this piece!

Just out of curiosity, you make the mockups for your faux sticker set by yourself from scratch? or maybe mofidy existing ones?? I Think they look very good and add so much to the comms and you even theme them to suit the characters instead of using the same one over and over, like wow that takes some effort!! Your art is amazin! Do you reccomend some tutorials/tips and tricks/sites for mockups like these?

Hi! Thank you so much, I am so glad you like these! To do these I most often use stock images and public domain images alongside textures and scans of objects (notes, paper, scribbles, book spreads etc.) I made myself and mofidy them into digital collages. I also sometimes use preexisting mock-ups for graphic designers and just edit the hell out of them to make them suit my patchy aesthetic, but I prefer to just use the previous method of putting images together, because it gives me more of a field to work with. It does take a bit of effort, yes, that's why I don't make them for every commission post but I like to create them anyway as much as I can, to visualize a digital product in a semi-realistic way :-)

If I want to create a specific effect, I often just search up some photoshop tutorials or just experiment with filters untill i find something exciting or nice graphically. There are a lot of places that offer free textures to use, for example sites with materials for 3d modelling that offer these things - which I love to use in my work. But they are super easy to create on your own as well traditionally. I often take pictures of scraps, dirt and the like to later put into these types of images. You can also find that many museums and art institutions offer public domain images (of artwork, documents and the like) from their collections!

All in all, the process of making these comes from my need to explore how all the effects, filters etc. from digital programs can be used to achieve interesting visuals. I am by no means any authority on the topic though, I mostly just explore and if I like something - explore it more.

Sorry for the long anwser, but i think this is something other people would also enjoy to know!

Thank you again!
