Oh I forgot to post this here. :) 

I never had the chance to play DnD while growing up, which is kind of sad, but luckily I've discovered the High Rollers DnD group on the YouTubes and get to enjoy it vicariously through them. :D This is one of my favourite characters Sentry. I mean, they are all my favourite, but this race look so frikkin cool! I kind of want to draw more Sentry ... She's such a sweetheart. Rhiannon as a player is a real joy to watch, her reactions to everything going on are so wonderful.   It was fun going for the DnD page "look" but not sure if the character looks better on a fairly plain background. What do you think?

Hello lovely people. I've been fiddling with this piece for about a week, so I figure I'll just post it and ask for your opinion. Basically, do you prefer image 1 or image 2? I know that 2 is less detailed, but hopefully there's enough detail to get the gist? I guess I'm wondering if I'm trying to over-render this piece, or if I'm right in the nagging feeling that this is not yet done.  Alternatively you can make me put my head in my hands and weep, by telling me that 3, the original monochrome picture was better. ;) #instaart #instaartist #fantasy #portrait #fantasyart #colour #colourpainting #digitalpainting #vampire #pretty #storytime #dracula #hollyroseart #hollyrose #creative #painting #draweveryday #ladyvampire #dracula

The forces of darkness have been preying on the people of Ancient Egypt. The Gods became troubled at the devastation and decided that they must take action. Sekhmet, the lion headed Goddess of war and her husband Ptah, the God of Creation sent one of their demi-God children to rule and to fight for the innocent.  Final Illustration of my original character Sekhet. This is part of my entry for the Art War 2 contest on Cubebrush.co. I feel like, although there's stuff I'd have liked to do better, I'm pretty confident in saying this is my best piece to date. Gotta aim to do even better next time!  #ancientegypt #ancientegyptian #anthropomorphic #banners #centaur #conceptart #desert #desertlandscape #egyptianmythology #illustration #lion #lioness #mythologicalcreature #pyramid #pyramids #sekhet #skullgirls #war #wildebeest #anthrocharacter #illustrationdigital #conceptfantasy #conceptartcharacter #partlionparthuman #character #characterdesign #sekhmet #originalcharacter #hollyroseartjourney #hollyroseart #oc

Sekhet rules Egypt and is beloved by her people. Her battle prowess is unmatched and she is a fair and just leader. This brave, lion-hearted warrior became instrumental in turning the tide of the war between the light and the dark in Ancient Egypt. Daughter of the Goddess of war, she has well earned the title "Sekhmet's Pride". This is the Concept Sheet and final character design for my entry to ArtWar 2 on Cubebrush.co. Many thanks to everyone who liked/commented on her outfit design. I had so much doubt creating this character and whether the idea was worth pursuing. I'm really glad I stuck with it in the end.  #ancientegypt #ancientegyptian #anthropomorphic #centaur #conceptart #desert  #egyptianmythology #illustration #lion #lioness #mythologicalcreature  #sekhet #anthrocharacter  #conceptfantasy #conceptartcharacter #partlionparthuman #character #characterdesign #sekhmet #hollyrose #hollyroseart #hollyroseartjourney #originalcharacter #oc

Well I ran out of time but I'm really pleased I got this as finished as I did. #conceptart #concept #characterconcept #fantasy #fantasyconcept #hollyroseart #hollyroseartjourney #digitalart #fantasyaztec #aztec #aztecwarrior #aztecprincess #characterconceptart #yaretzi #azteccharacter #aztecheaddress #aztecarcher #archer #fantasybow #bow #goddess

Work in Progress. Thanks again for all the feedback, I got with this, I'm hoping to clean up a bit more, then move onto colour. Not really convinced about the magic arm atm though. Maybe I'll go back to just glowy...   #conceptart #concept #characterconcept #fantasy #fantasyconcept #hollyroseart #hollyroseartjourney #digitalart #fantasyaztec #aztec #aztecwarrior #aztecprincess #characterconceptart #wip #workinprogress

Oh I probably ought to have cut out more of these, but it's awfully late and I think my brain is a bit too tired! These are concepts for Yaretzi. She's an Aztec warrior princess who wields the legendary bow I was designing before. She needs to have glowing eyes, an "unnatural" arm and long dark hair. Hope you enjoy and any preferences, please let me know! ;) <3 #conceptart #concept #characterconcept #fantasy #fantasyconcept #hollyroseart #hollyroseartjourney #digitalart #fantasyaztec #aztec #aztecwarrior #aztecprincess #characterconceptart 

Thank you for the feedback previously peeps, it was very much appreciated. Someone mentioned to me that the designs were kind of evil looking and I realised they were right, so had a bit of a rethink and came up with a new batch as it's meant to be a weapon for a hero. I admit, I don't think I'm gonna have time to complete this before the deadline anymore, but even so, it's been a really interesting learning curve.  Again any preferences or thoughts would be very welcome and appreciated. <3 #conceptart #concept #weaponconcept #fantasyweapon #fantasy #fantasyconcept #bow #hollyroseart #hollyroseartjourney #digitalart #fantasybow #fantasyconceptart

So I'm designing a character and their weapon for a contest and spent today looking at bows. Almost certain I'm going to go with 8 but would be interested in other people's thoughts. I'm new to designing weapons so it was kind of daunting! (also I totally forgot about Instagram and it's size limits!) #conceptart #concept #weaponconcept #fantasyweapon #fantasy #fantasyconcept #bow #hollyroseart #hollyroseartjourney #digitalart

She felt a prickling on the back of her neck. She turned. Sunlight. It was so beautiful. She moved towards it moving further out of the crypt. "Is this how it feels to be a moth?" she managed to wonder as she moved slowly forward. She ought to be afraid, she thought. Everyone knew that vampires couldn't survive in sunlight. That was why she'd always tracked into the crypts in daylight so there was a retreat if things went badly. But somehow, she kept moving forward, pace by steady pace until she came to a halt just a step away from the beam of sunlight. What would happen when she stepped into the light she thought. She walked forward.  (This was fun. Started as a study but evolved. Gosh but I'd missed fantasy story time.) #storytime #fantasyart #conceptart #personalart #hollyroseart #hollyroseartjourney #originalart #wip  #sinister #flavourtext #creepy #draweveryday #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #wip #sketch #draweveryday #horrorart #vampire #crypt #digitalart

This one definitely took longer than 30 minutes! Really wanted to get the skin tone a bit more accurate this time. I got this shape from CG cookie. #art #illustration #artstudy #sketch #instaart #instaartist #drawing #digitalart #hollyroseart #hollyroseartjourney #draweveryday #sketches #portrait #shape #filter #sketcheveryday #sketchdaily #dailysketch #experimentalart #face  #digitalartist

So I just finished Dracula again and I really enjoyed it. Dated certainly, but good fun nevertheless. So I was really inspired to paint a lady vampire. :) #instaart #instaartist #fantasy #portrait #fantasyart #grayscale #monochromaticpainting #digitalpainting #vampire #pretty #storytime #dracula #hollyroseart #hollyrose #creative #painting #draweveryday

I can find things other than faces in shapes too. 😅 #art #illustration #sketch #instaart #instaartist #drawing #digitalart #hollyroseart#hollyroseartjourney #draweveryday #sketches #caricature #sketcheveryday #sketchdaily #dailysketch #experimental art #fun #shapechallenge #shapeaday #creative

This challenge is rather too much fun. Although I ran out of time on this one. #art #illustration #artstudy #sketch #instaart #instaartist #drawing #digitalart #hollyroseart#hollyroseartjourney #draweveryday #sketches #portrait #caricature #monochromatic #sketcheveryday #sketchdaily #dailysketch #experimentalart #face #filter

30 min shape challenge. This was pretty fun though it's tough with that time limit! :)  #art #illustration #artstudy #sketch #instaart #instaartist #drawing #digitalart #hollyroseart#hollyroseartjourney #draweveryday #sketch #caricature #monochromatic #sketcheveryday #sketchdaily #dailysketch #experimentalart #face #artchallenge
