Febraury Reward 02 - Ground Dragon (Dracoterra perfossus)

Choo choo~ here comes the Train Dragon~ XD

I present to you, a species of Earth Dragon, The Ground Dragon, not to be confused with Earth Dragon which is another species in the Dracoterra family but can fly~

Thank you for some inputs from discords that give me the inspiration to make multiple subspecies of this Dragon. It ends up being 3 double pages instead of my initial plan of just making a simple three single pages. Working on this creature, thinking about various biome placeme...

March Prompt Voting

How are you doing everyone? I hope you're doing okay and 2021 treating you a bit better so far.

Here comes the time to vote for our next batch of prompt while I'm working on the 'Train' Prompt. It seems that each month you keep throwing harder prompt to me,  but let's see which one you want me to tackle this time~

As usual, this poll will be open for around 6 days~

WIP - Train

Now for the prompt Train (locomotive), there are several Idea that in mind, but due to a very hectic schedule, I have to choose something a bit easier for me.

At first, I was going for a kinda obvious choice; insect, perhaps centipede, or millipede which already resemble a train by themselves. But I'm unable to find a good way to make them look more than just a giant centipede/millipede. 

for the creature on top, I was planning to make another species of Grimjaw,  a crea...

February Rewards 01 - Eden's Siren (Fremeris Paradisis)

Hello~

Here it is, the creature based on 'Seraphic' prompt.

After discussing with patrons in the comment section and on the discord server, I decided to go with the siren. It took a while to research several things, including finding the right anatomy for the creature and its vocal organs. I learn quite a lot of stuff during this process and I'm really satisfied with how the artworks looks like too~

Please let me know what you think about this creature~

Next, I think I...

WIP - Seraphic

SO, back to creature creation~

This time these two are the strongest idea that came into my mind. both are the classic monster in both myth and D&D but inserted with an angelic theme. Medieval biblical seraphim have quite a definitive image, beautiful face and pairs of wings and often depicted without a body. Thus, I want to still use that image but twist it a bit into something interesting. Not a celestial being or some divinity, but either a living creature or magical creature tha...

January Reward 02 - Tartarus, The Knight of Blight

Thank you so much for your patience,

This time I introduce you to one of the Archive member, courtesy of our Curator DrezenDragon;

The Knight of Blight, Tartarus, a.k.a Locus

This is one and hopefully many to comes, canonical character for The Archive setting. 

But of course, I won't just focus on character, I really like working together with you to make an interesting character and creature like this, or last year barkhound and melinoe. So I'm hoping that I can ...

February Prompt Voting

Hello again dear Researchers, Curators, and Archivist of the Archive, 

Since we're back to the creature month, so we're going to have a vote for this month creature as usual. Again, we have quite an interesting option here courtesy of our Curator and Archivist.

For this month, since I'm still owe you one character from last month, I think there's a possibility that I can only make one creature based on the top voted prompt. BUT, if I still got time before the end of the month...

WIP - Knight of Blight

Courtesy of our dear Curator, DrezenDragon, we present to you, The Knight of Blight.

Tales and rumors whisper the story of a Dark Knight who commands swarms of insects, utilize them as its weapon and armor. Some said it is the last of its kind, an ancient species of intelligent humanoid insect, but others tell the story of an artificially made creature that escapes from its creator. So far, every information surrounded this being is just rumors and folktales with no clear evidence. But ...

Video - Making of The Director

Welcome to the Timelapse video again~

Although this was a character design month, apparently I'll also have to talk a bit about the background this time. But let's start from the character first

Director - Character Design

As I mentioned before, the Director's design is based on my previous avatar, which is a man with extra mechanical limbs and the overall design is a combination of cat and spider theme. But this time, I want him to look more formal due to...

January Reward 01 - The Director + Patron Character Announcement

Finally it's done~

I took waaay too much effort and time working on that library background, but it's worth all the extra effort because now I have an artwork that screams "Welcome to The Archive"~!

Also in that archive, I put some sneak peek at how the archive looks, at least the sections that are accessible for most of the visitors and members. Plus, some sneak peeks on how the uniform for the administrator and clerical staff uniform looks like. In the future, I'm planning to ma...

WIP - The Director

Alright, the first character this month is, Director of The Grand Archive.

It was of course based on my avatar, which you can see the picture there plus the profile picture I use for Patreon and will be my avatar for this project. The design itself is based on an old character design I did when I worked at a game developer studio, it was a fun activity where every artist made their avatar to both shows off their style and just to get to know each other. I grew to like it and eventually ...

Character Month

Hi everyone!

As I mentioned before, starting from this month, I'm planning to make not just a creature, but also a character for you. I won't be doing this every month, since I still want the creature to be the main focus, but I'm planning to do it every other month.

As mentioned before as well, one of the characters I'm going to make will be coming from one of you. For now, I'm going to pick from Curator and Archivist, but I'm planning to pick other tiers on some...

Video - Making of Glass Weaver

This one is a complicated one, The idea of making creature based on Stained Glass already causing a headache when I started to think about the coloring process. Added to that is my brain decided, in order to get the 'chapel' and 'stained glass' feels, I need a bigger canvas with wider shoot to give the grandiose atmosphere.

Creating Depth 

If you look at the PSD files you'll see me using far more layers compared to the usual. This is because to make sure th...

Grand Archive - 2021

Greetings~

First thing first, Happy New Year!

I'm sure 2020 has been quite rough for everyone. I really appreciate your support that has been helping me survive this year as well. Being able to create my own idea really helps me mentally as well. It's been half a year since I start this project and I hope those 6-7 months along with artworks that I made can bring a bit of joy to 2020.

So what's for 2021? 

There is some stuff that I wanted to do this year, so I mor...

December Rewards 02 - Glass Weaver (Vitrea textoris)

Happy holiday everyone~

Thank you for accompanying and supporting me throughout this harsh year. Your support really does help me survive this situation both financially and mentally. I hope you’re doing okay considering our situation right now.

In the spirit of festivity that we usually suppose to be in during this period of time, I bring some colorful artwork and creature that hopefully can bring some smile to you~ (or creeps if you hates insect or spider…). I present to you...

WIP - Serendipity

Alright~ 

This one is hard, but after some research, browsing references, and discussion on discord, I land on this idea. Using an idea brought up by Curator ASP Ian, about inattentive blindness and cognitive block, I work some sketches around a creature that has the innate ability to cause an inattentive blindness and perception block. The 'Serendipity' part is that they build a very beautiful nest in plain sight using extremely valuable material that they produce, and only by an ...

Video - Making of Bed Creep

This will be the first proper entry for the video reward, hopefully, with CLIP new timelapse feature I can properly record every first page of our creature and character. For the layering, you can see the PSD files while watching the video to figure out the layer effect and arrangement I use.

For all of my illustrations for this Archive, I'm using CLIP Studio Paint. The brush that I mostly use for the coloring is watercolor brush and texture from this pack: 2020-12-18 00:27:40 +0000 UTC View Post
