In progress shot on Old Fenrir's Lament. I am working on placing valuves to make sure the lighting is correct and that everything sticks out. I also made Old Fenrir bigger to really drive home that this is a giant wolf.⠀ #fantasyillustration #andrewpappas #acpillustration #pittsburghillustrators #fantasyart #syracuseuniversity #monsters #wizardsofthecoast #art #fantasy #coverart #fineart #digitalpainting #fenrir #illustration #fairy #pathfinder #dungeonsanddragons #gaslampfantasy #bookillustation #illuxcon #norsemythology #nativeamericanmythology #werewolf #wolf #lycanthrope #fenris #history #tor #werewolfwednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/B4YFaEdjM_F/?igshid=8foirl8annd6

Been on a bit of a social media hiatus. Here is a sketch for my next big digital painting. It is an illustration for my working short story "Old Fenrir." Stay tuned for more in process shots.⠀ #fantasyillustration #andrewpappas #acpillustration #pittsburghillustrators #fantasyart #syracuseuniversity #monsters #wizardsofthecoast #art #fantasy #coverart #fineart #digitalpainting #fenrir #illustration #fairy #pathfinder #dungeonsanddragons #gaslampfantasy #bookillustation #illuxcon #norsemythology #nativeamericanmythology #werewolf #wolf #lycanthrope #fenris #history #tor #werewolfwednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/B3x2zdljRO_/?igshid=1uqnulk2q6x8k

This is an illustration I did for a historic fantasy short story I wrote about the siege of Fort Pitt. The story is called "Old Fenrir" and is about a young British soldier coming face to face with a hellish Shawnee deity who takes the form of a giant grey wolf. The British colonist know the beast as Old Fenrir, and fear him for his savagery towards their beloved Fort Pitt and it's soldiers. I never published the tale, it still needs a final coat of paint, but I hope to one day when I have more time to devote to my writing without sacrificing time for my art.⠀ #fantasyillustration #andrewpappas #acpillustration #pittsburghillustrators #fantasyart #syracuseuniversity #monsters #wizardsofthecoast #art #fantasy #coverart #fineart #digitalpainting #fenrir #illustration #clouds #pathfinder #dungeonsanddragons #nativeamerican #bookillustation #beast #norsemythology #nativeamericanmythology #werewolf #wolf #lycanthrope #shawnee #history #tor #werewolfwednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ohxudjpqi/?igshid=83203ht4e1j2

I've been listening to an audio book of Henry Hope Hodgson's dark fantasy love story the Night Land and I have fallen in love with the story, characters and world. Here are a couple of sketches inspired by characters from the book. Since the story takes place in the incredibly distant future, I imagine the humans in story to have evolved with animal like ears that allow them to hear the vibrations in ethers of the night land, fur to survive the harsh, dreadfully cold landscape.⠀ ⠀ #thenightland #andrewpappas #acpillustration #boardgame #videogame #creaturedesign #eldritch #finalfantasy #fantasyart #dungeonsanddragons #conceptart #art #sketch #lovecraft #sketchaday #pittsburghillustrators #illustration #williamhopehodgson #greatoldones #werewolf #neko #literature #elf #fantasyillustration #creature #pathfinder #paizo #wizardsofthecoast #blizzardentertainment #magicthegathering https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu1RYqMFdCq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wpc4fwun0wlc

Here are some old idea sketches for my Selkie painting I did a while ago. I was exploring how she would be coming out of the body of the seal and how here hair would float in the water.⠀ #mermay #andrewpappas #acpillustration #boardgame #videogame #creaturedesign #selkie #mermaid #fantasyart #dungeonsanddragons #conceptart #art #sketch #celticmythology #sketchaday #pittsburghillustrators #pinup #fairy #worldofwarcraft #sidhe #mythology #irish #seamonster #fantasyillustration #creature #pathfinder #paizo #wizardsofthecoast #blizzardentertainment #magicthegathering https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWtCWTlfvp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k29cdmnvew9i
