:: Luna & Nova - Buster-Schroedinger’s Revenge:: . New work of my OC! This time the issue revolves around the mystery as to why Schroedinger has transformed into the Buster-sword usually carried by Cloud Strife in FFIIV?? Is she a female Cloud? And also the question comes up why Nova has a crown above her head that is reminiscent of Cait Sith from Final Fantasy IIV? Questions upon questions… ;) The story is up to you gentle-guys and gals, but it actually reveals how much of a fan I am of the „classic“ Final Fantasy game - not the remake. . I just found it fun to paint Schroedingers eyes where the Materia should be placed. The pose is inspired by a Conceptart-piece from RD-Lys (Heir of Light) afaik, you find the exact piece when you google „heir of light“ ;) . #lunaandnova_ #OC #arsfantasio #fantasyart #digitalpainting #finalfantasy7 #ffIIV #originalart #digitalillustration #femalelead #sciencefiction #wallart #supportlocalartists #gameartist #caitsith #bustersword #cloudstrife #femalecloud

::A Myriad of Thoughts:: -Blast from the past - Some older work this time around as I‘m busy with new work, commissions and other publishing stuff... . Did this back in 2012. Actually I wanted to work more graphically and with this I tried my hands on 3d for the horns which were done in Sculptris. I guess the figure is based on a stock image. . This could actually be a dream sequence of Luna - I should keep that in mind for future reference... . . #lunaandnova_ #horns #fantasy #gaze #originalcharacter #graphicartist #arsfantasio #faerytale #faery #digitalpainting #fantasyart #portraitmood #faunus #mythologyart

::Still (A) Life Series:: . New series of works, mostly homage to Still life and traditional art combined with pop-culture. Inspired by flemish masters.The images are based on Stock-photography that were acquired. I experimented with new digital techniques to achieve the painterly look. . Btw. Wallpapers, early access and shop-discount-codes are benefits of becoming a supporter on patreon, just saying 🤩 Link in Bio;) . Will take a while until I release a new batch, if you have suggestions, now there is your chance to drop it in a comment😊 . . . . #stilllife #stillleben #arsfantasio #trooperhelmet #starwarsedit #kriegdersterne #darthvaderart #mjolnir #avengers #infinitygauntlet #thanos #ironmanhelmet #digitalart #classicalart #flemishart #traditionallook #behance

::Garden of the Galaxy:: . The title stems from a misheard sentence and is intended 😉 . A New Luna & Nova piece appeared in the wild! This is actually an overpainted version of a 3D render + composing based on purchased Stockimages. The 3D-design was made by me as part of the second artist-grant as also the 3D-print, which was my first time designing and printing a 25cm tall figure with 21 parts. The figure will most likely be available to download soon. . I learned so much by this project and am really thankful! Thanks go out to Stiftung Rheinland Pfalz für Kultur to make Luna & Nova a reality 🤗 . Why has Luna a Nasa-Jacket and why can they breathe on the moon? This and more questions will hopefully be answered by you soon😊 . . . #lunaandnova_ #arsfantasio #moon #originalcharacter #originalartwork #schroedingerscat #outerspace #gardenofthegalaxy #rpg #nasa #girlwithhorns #batcat #catwithwings #fantasyart #scifiart #garagekit #3dprinted

::Luna Portrait study:: . Finally got some time to do another portrait. This time inspired by @tombagshaw (obviously) 😊 And no, she is not evil, quite the opposite but she may have a dark past that keeps her up at night, from time to time...;) . Trying to get the alla prima look working for me digitally. . . . #lunaandnova_ #fantasyartwork #portraitpaintings #girlwithhorns #allaprimaportrait #originalcharacter #devilish #arsfantasio #digitalpainting #oc #succubus

::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_
