[Sketchbook Spreads]: Doodle Friday – Lilith Edition

This week:

Took on the dark divine—my interpretation of Lilith, Queen of the Underworld and Mother of Demons.

Started with more human take—haunting eyes and regal energy.

Then, dialled up the demonic:

– Inspired by The Temptation of Adam and Eve (1512) by Michelangelo and Echidna—gave her a massive serpent tail coiled and commanding.

– Final form: gone full mythic monster—wings instead of hands, a nod to harpies and sirens, ready to snatch souls and rewrite nightmares.

✨ Late to Huevember, but here we are! ✨

This doubles as concept art for Celestial Creatures, which I’m super excited to expand on.

The blue cat isn’t my original design—it’s by my amazing friend, and I’ve adopted it with her blessing. 💙🐾

Each Hue has an Animal group and Night/Cosmos theme related to it.

A few more doodles for smaugust 2024. Not following any prompts, just trying to get back into doodling more frequently again.

My attempt at Smaugust 2024. Though I am randomly selecting prompts from multiple lists.

The first prompt shown is for fungi.

The second prompt is for amphibian.

The third prompt was venomous. I combined an adder which is my country's only native venomous snake with a Hoopoe bird which has a symbiotic relationship with a bacteria which produces noxious chemicals.

I have been making some posable insect themed dragon wings. I am planning to make some articulated paper dragon dolls/puppets for stop motion animation purposes. And also because I love derpy little dragons.

The orange and white one is based off a male orange tip butterfly and the other two are based off different species of lantern bugs.

They are made with watercolour paper, watercolour paint, ink and split pins

If you can access this on Netflix please, please watch Scavengers Reign. I can't describe how amazing it is. Stunning visuals, immaculate and fun world building with a spectacular array of alien fauna and flora, beautiful character driven storytelling.

I am going to start rewatching it as I can't get it out of my head. I really need a second series. Please watch this.

It can be a bit gory in places (but most of it isn't) and does deal with some heavy topics but these were handled in such a careful way so please don't let it put you off if you think you can handle it.

Scavengers Reign 1.02 "The Storm"

Some absolutely gorgeous illustrations. The first one is my absolute fave (dragons are wonderful) Happy birthday btw.

Hey sprouts! 🌱

I recently had a birthday and I would be grateful for a reblog of my favorite works at the moment! :9

I made a little dragon head out of polymer clay my brother thinks it look more like a chicken Dino hybrid and now I keep imagining it scratching around in a corn field making nervous chicken noises.

Some creeper concepts that I never posted here :P

A random creature concept! I got the idea from young horned grebe's patterns.

They’d be big and aggressive, and would their time either fighting each other or trying to eat anything that breathes.

He's just a little guy 🥺 (Longlegs belongs to ppl behind @zooliminology)

Another dude I made but using this weird watercolor ink stuff. Unfortunately its not waterproof like my india ink so I had to work around that aspect and work with any of the color bleeds. Still, was pretty fun to do and I enjoy the result. Might do a similar design like this again, but with gold and yellow inks instead. We shall see. Gotta get my hands on some of those colors tho, cause the brown and green seen here are a gift from my bestie.

This is just a beastie that I’ve had a sketch of lying around for a while. Decided to finally get the design done and inked it with my beloved india ink. Surprisingly, these are starting to take a lot less time, probably cause I’m getting more comfortable with the medium, along with being not as stiff with mistakes.

Lots of fun and got more stuff like this in the works.

I love how this beauty turned out. First time I was able to do just linework too without wanting to shade some bits. Gah I just love this piece so much, I wanna do another one like it already, even though it was kinda a pain figuring out how all of those veils should go. 10/10 would do again though. Who knows, I might just ink it and color it one day. I'm excited for the future!

NOW THIS GUY I AM PROUD OF. He took forever because I was constantly referencing my anatomy books to get him to feel just right. And right does he feel. Finished him in summer 2016 and I love all the small details I was able to pack in that just add to the stretched feel of his skin. His head was kinda hard though to get the right shapes and shadows.

A guy I made when I first received my anatomy books. I must say that the ribs and intercostal muscles where great fun to draw. It was with this piece that I realized that normal 2B pencils can't really get the darks I am looking for. I can also say that this is when I realized that sketchbook paper should not be used for more serious drawings, as it's way too flimsy. Oh well, live and learn.

This beast here was going to be a part of my Inktober 2016 work, but then I decided that it would be cool to have a stippled background... which means that I finished it about three months after. Stippling is a pain in the ass my friends. I have recovered though. Just means that this piece was the entirety of my Inktober work, and more. I'm pretty satisfied with it though because of the crosshatching on the body of the beast that contrasts with the background stippling. He was actually inspired off of a little lamp that sits on my art desk. I was just looking for simple forms of inspirations and BAm, Light Beast.
