::Mystic in the Desert:: . Something different for a change and also to remind you that I have not totally abandoned tribute-focused-artworks ;) I just had these artist grants and creating „Luna & Nova“ demanded a lot of my personal time this year. . Now about this new piece: I Managed to finalize this painting of the mystic from the Dark Crystal that I had started earlier this year. It is based on a landscape-painting of Christ by Ivan Kramskoi from 1872. I think it is fun to compare these two images side-by-side so feel free to swipe for it ^.^ . I nearly overlooked this great composition because it is simply centered but it focused on elliptic enclosures, for example: the floating stones in the foreground underline a good starting point for the outer elliptic enclosure. My version just added to it and changed the shape of the elliptic enclosures instead of circles in the original that goes around the figure. . Actually the mystic and Christ have a lot in common and I found it fitting to go with that direction, without being too much cliché. At least I hope so ;) Thinking about this further, it would make totally sense to do a painting of SkekMal the Hunter, UrVa's counterpart… hmm . . . #darkcrystal #UrVa #Uru #mystic #fanart #tribute #Kramskoi #Christ #inceptionism #arsfantasio #digitalart #desertlandscape #skekmal #classicart #fantasyart #creaturedesign #henson #puppets #brianfroud

:Luna & Nova - The Möbius Experience: . New piece of my new characters inspired by a comic panel from one of my favorite artists of all time: Moebius (panel from the blue pyramid). 👉Swipe all left for the reference and some process... . This series becomes more of a running question like :“Where is Schroedinger?“😅 which is a lot of fun... Besides that it was interesting to learn about Jean Girauds composition techniques. . . . #lunaandnova_ #oc #originalcharacter #fantasyart #moebius #comicart #artistinspired #digitalillustration #arsfantasio #flyingcat #batcat #bluepyramid #homage #surrealart #lowbrowart #drawing

I’m hosting a DTIYS challenge with my new Character(s) Luna & Nova! If you are an artist, read on, if not no problem😉tag an artist-friend who you think would like to join! . Here are the „rules“: 🌙Redraw or paint this image in your own style. Look at my previous 2 posts to have different views of the OC‘s 🌙Post my illustration as second slide in your post. 🌙Tag me in your work or link me via @arsfantasio 🌙Use the hashtag #Lunaandnova_ Deadline is October 15th 2020 *edited* . I know I have not participated in dtiys challenges, and do you know why? Because I don’t foster a unique a style, I focus on a concept and then consider the best style suitable for a certain piece. . That is why I really believe this piece can easily look far better by someone who fosters a unique style. . . . #lunaandnova_ #fantasyart #arsfantasio #portraitpainting #oc #originalcharacter #digitalart #photoshop #batcat #girlwithhorns #fullmoon #gameartist #storyart #illustrate #dtiys #drawthisinyourstyle #dtiyschallenge

::Luna & Nova: Feeding Time at the Highlands:: . This is mainly a big nod to the Ikoria-edition of Magic the Gathering with some Lowbrow elements featuring Luna & Nova. Actually, Schrödinger's Scythe also seems to turn into a broom when under stress. . With this piece I wanted to see how far I can push the boundaries of fantasy art and how much does it take for it to be categorized as lowbrow or even anime? . The landscape is based on August Wilhelm Leu's work from 1860ish. There is also a framed *over-the-top* Gold-Edition Print I made - just swipe past the close-ups to see that ;) . . . #MTG #arsfantasio #ccg #homage #Lunanadnova #originalcharacter #fantasy #illustration #digitalart #wacom #digitalpainting #ancientkaiju #behemoth #ikoria #witch #flyingcat #whimsical #lowbrow #kaiju #dragon #classicart #landscapepainting #wizardsofthecoast #lunaandnova_

. ::Meet Luna & Nova:: . Just recently I finished the documentation for the artist grant, which I received for this project from the Kulturstiftung Rheinland-Pfalz and which was the reason I was not much active here as well. . 👉What is this project about? . It is about the adventures of: 👩🏻Luna, a mysterious girl with horns, often wearing a star-cape. 🐈And there is a flying cat called Nova, with scaling-abilities, things she touches become huge or tiny. 👹And then there is Schrödinger, a Scythe inhabited by 2 demons so strong, they can turn into anything, except they are stressed or unstable, then they might turn into an umbrella, hence the name ;) . These are my new OC’s and it is fun working on my own stuff again. No fear, I will keep doing rusty machines and monsters that you know. However, this series allows me to do that and it even gives me the freedom to include anime or game references while still being original, there are in fact tons of new ideas for paintings right now. . Good for you, lot of work for me 😅 . . . #digitalpainting #arsfantasio #fantasyart #Lunaandnova #lunanova #Schroedinger #Scythe #patreonartist #rpggames #Originalart #horns #illustration #anime # flyingcat #catwithwings #batcat #comicart #demon #lunaandnova_

:: Stranger Thing:: Painting of Michiru, the Tanuki girl from BNA with a „Stranger Things“ shirt, it somehow had to be this way😎 . Really liked the series and I felt a bit uninspired lately, this was a great study to get creative again. Will definitely do more portraits for the time being. . . . #michiru #bna #brandnewanimal #animepainting #arsfantasio #animeart #characterdesign #strangerthings #netflixanime #tanuki #tanukigirl #portraitdrawing #digitalpaint #photoshopdrawing #wacom

::Tyria LaFrey - OC portrait Painting:: . Original character design for a battlefield commander, a personal commission I did for a D&D campaign character for a private client. I really liked the challenge here as it allowed me to go with a 1900 century vibe along with an Anime twist inspired by Vanni from Queen Zaza. .. Did this a while ago, for the time being I ‚m not available for commissions. . . #portraitdrawing #animeportrait #arsfantasio #classicportrait #swords #fantasyportrait #digitalpainting #originalcharacter #dandd #pathfinderrpg #rpg #artwork #paintingportraits

::Jäger at Rocky Coast:: . This is a triple-tribute to; William Trost Richard for the landscape, Pacific Rim for the Robot and the group of people should be reminiscent of any good Stalenhag painting😉 . Sometimes it is a little itch that I have, when studying classical art and going further that road, leads to sometimes satisfying results as this. . I always liked the raw design of Cherno Alpha, it is recognizable and somehow it fitted this rocky coast so well. His appearance was so short, now he lives on forever in this tribute-painting ;) Cheers😎 . . . #jaeger #kaiju #pacificrim #stalenhag #trostrichards #mecha #robot #overgrown #landscape #painting #arsfantasio #rockycoast #seascape #rustymachine #classicalpainting #scifiart #chernoalpha #postapocalyptic

Btw. it will be an „official“ design, once it is available over at @forfansxfans in a few days. . Stay safe... . . . #cammy #streetfighter #forfansbyfans #beatemup #gameart #arsfantasio #fanartanime #nintendogames #capcomgames #gameartist #characterart

::Qarys Brinn - Portrait Character Painting:: . This is a personal D&d-Character portrait I did a few weeks ago. Was a lot of fun to paint and one of the rare cases, I‘m not sure if I like the sketch more:) What do you think? . If you are interested in commissions, you find some info on my Ko-Fi (link in bio) for the time being - I just do portraits, as I don‘t have time for much more atm. this is a rare opportunity limited to Corona times, as I usually don‘t do commissions anymore... . . . #portrait #characterdesign #tiefling #dandd #originalcharacter #horns #fashionista #arsfantasio #commissionart #portraitpainting #animepainting #fantasyartwork
