I've always liked Rafiki! 
Also, the mandrill is known to be both highly intelligent as well as reclusive... hmm, it's kinda fitting.

It's been a while! I'm working on many diferent things at once so there isn't a lot to show lately.
Mostly some fantasy art.

Thanks! I try to add detail but not too much, I try to keep the image's composition as clear as possible. I always enjoy adding some weird animals or monsters to fantasy pieces so I gave her some sort of monkey cat as animal companion and added a snake bird perched on the tree because why not, fun is what makes fantasy enjoyable.
80s were the golden age of fantasy pictures. Frazzeta, Vallejo, Royo and even Azpiri were the rage and I enjoyed their illustrations as soon as I discovered them. The 90s were an awesome silver age, there were lots of great artists with very different artstyles: Terese Nielsen, Quinton Hoover, Rebecca Guay, John Avon...
The first decade of 2000s was the last good decade for fantasy art with people like Karl Kopiski, Steve Argyle and Chippy.
These days... all looks the same, there's no individuality. We are living in the dark age of fantasy art.
Companies want a house style that always, somehow, is souless photorealistic pictures, all the artists must do the same. I don't like it because I know people who has to do it to get paid but honestly all their work look the same and it makes me sad, there's no fun or joy anymore. I long for the days when the Foglios could paint colorful, silly goblins and their illustrations were printed in MTG cards.

Said the fetishist that needs detail to make pictures or else can't keep it up.
Don't make me create more memes with those dogs again.

Turned out I completely overlooked this thread - shame on me.
I definitely like your style! The latest work is absolutely wonderful. The colours, the light, the details, the cat (!) - everything. And I appreciate the realistic body proportions, too.
Sephiroth leaves a long-lasting impression as well

I feel personally assaulted and I'm not even Odysseus.
Thanks for your comment! This thread was inactive for almost a month so it was easy to miss.
I draw dozens of fanarts but I make Sephiroth fucking Jenova's head once and that's all what people remember lolSephiroth leaves a long-lasting impression as well
...oh well. That's life. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't worry, he knew what he was getting into. (◕‿◕✿)

Maybe because you were the first to create this scenario?
I mean, dunno, I'd never seen such thing before. Not that I searched though.
That's the way the cookie crumbles
Random announcements:
Tendonitis. I need to rest my right arm for some time to avoid further damage. I'm not amused.
I have a pixiv account. I like its format more than twitter's, it's more like a gallery and I can manage it easily.
My Patreon page is dead and I have no idea what I'm doing.

Latest illustration, this is the "SFW" version.
Now I'm busy with monsters and monster tiddies. For other versions of my Queen of Harpies, SFW and NSFW versions in this public post. Hi-Res versions available for Patrons only.

Once upon a time, there was a fangame. As many fan projects, it was abandoned before it could be finished.
This is a tribute to FFVII: For All Gaia's Children: the final design for the final boss "Bizarro Chaos". Thank @Shademp for its existence.
Now, some commentary.
I didn't know this project existed until Shademp told me about it. It had a lot of potential, a lot of heart, and a lot of complications derived from the fact that it was a full game. It was a very ambitious project, so naturally its development stagnated until it was declared abandoned.
The final boss for its first act never had a completed design, so I was commissioned to make one. This is my interpretation of its concept, as explained by Shademp:
And now this abomination exists! ฅ(•ㅅ•❀)ฅ

Some wholesome Girl's Last Tour fan art (crossposting from CULT OF THE POTATO).
Yuuri and Chiito go to a summer festival! It has nothing to do with the tone and context of the series but I wanted to do something different with these characters.
Commission by @Odysseus
As fun extra, this was his version of my picture:
Look at that plane exploding in the background.

I don't lol. I still find it funny.
Cat on Mars presents Eftichia, Dragon Warrior of Kovoia! I was hired by @Shademp to design this character in all her awesomeness, including armor and her weapon, the Black Wind lance, for his Ghaleem Chronicles.
There's a lot of lore and worlbuilding behind this character and I tried to incorporate all I could to her design, ranging from Kovoia's renowed metalsmithing to the uniqueness of her dragon wings, which are huge and able to repeal arrows.
The spear is made entirely of black metal. The blade is black and straight, erupting from the dragon's jaws.
The armor was quite the challenge. It had to be dragon-themed but not too spiky and befitting for the character.
Shoulderpads have two dragon heads fully modelled in metal, the gorget have some textured metal. The rest of the armor has etched scales on metal creating a black and gold pattern mainly, and the fault is made with small pieces of metal similar to the traditional Turkish armor.
The black coat has a pattern of flames with a metallic thread. Kovoia's flag is emblazoned on the chestplate, flanked by the two dragon heads and protected by Eftichia's wings. Since she is the sign of the new era, it's appropiate that she displays on her chest her patriotic fervor for propaganda purposes.
This means I design characters, armor and weapons too, not only monsters! But since there's no rest for the wicked, I'll resume working on my Sephinova doujin.
If you forgot about it, I didn't.
