    uniE621 Flesh Failed
    This was my "Magnum Opus" circa 2022. I worked on it off an on for 5 years. I had the idea for over a decade, had sketched out elements of it on scratch paper here and there. My goal was to illustrate something akin to Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein work. I wanted to have every square inch "finished" but still draw the eye to a specific path without relying on "tricks. I believe I succeeded! #illustrator…
    uniE621 Mortisara
    Just a different take on the Grim Reaper. Mortisara is a Latin for Death's Alter. Seemed appropriate. This is the only piece I have " so far" that was laid out in Midjourney. The painting was executed SOLELY by myself but I generated a rough layout in Midjourney. (AI is a great tool but creates pretty vanilla artwork, in my opinion. You can just ell, ya know?)…
    uniE621 Blast-Ended Skrewt
    If you're a Harry Potter fan you've heard of the Blast-Ended Skrewt. When the "Fantastic Beast" films were announced I did this for fun. #illustrator #conceptartist…
    uniE621 the Luciferian- Ecantoella
    exploration for a a card art personal project. I ended up scrapping the idea but sent it to Spectrum: the Best of Fantasy Illustration Vol. 10. It was selected for publication! #illustrator…
    uniE621 Shmark and Klarl
    No clue. MY mind get's wild sometimes. SO when Shmark and Klarl, conjoined twins, had to be painted. IT JUST HAAAAD TO. Once again, another "Let's elevate and learn" so this was an exercise in 1) static storytelling and 2) digital painting techniques #illustrator…
    uniE621 "No-Pants" Pfaffenschmidt
    Just a random Intergalactic Bounty Hunter character that popped into my brain one day. He needed to see the light of day so I painted him up. My favorite thing of things is to tell a character's story in a single image. #illustrator…
    uniE621 Toby's Back
    I am a HUGE "The Office" fan. So naturally, I had to make a sticker of my all time favorite moment from show! #illustrator #branding…
    uniE621 Super 'Cuda
    There was a beautiful short-spined dog featured on Instagram. I was an avid follower. She was so full of life and SO spunky. Her owners always remarked that she was their "Gargoyle". One morning I heard the news that 'Cuda had abruptly passed away. Complications with her deformity. I was broken-hearted. 'Cuda genuinely made my day brighter. I painted this for her owner and sent it to her. I wanted to do something to let them know how this amazing little creature made me smile. And of course, I painted Cuda with her newly acquired Gargoyle wings. #illustrator…
    uniE621 Shambling Shell Redux
    I was a freelance Magic: The Gathering artist for a few years back. I took an old piece, Shambling Shell, that was pretty popular. I dug the old art out and repainted it adding a two decades of technique to it. #illustrator…
    uniE621 Schirpple.
    For me, For fun. Idea born of an "Inktober" sketch. Decided to paint it out to expand my knowledge base and new portfolio work.…
    uniE621 Puddles the Clown
    I truly enjoy portrait work. Every piece is a new lesson. For this, I wanted to caricaturize Puddles while remaining respectfully to hi art. Not wanting to mock but rather to make people smile. This was done for the sake of my Portfolio. #illustrator…
    uniE621 Orkses
    THIS illustration was done a little while ago. I needed to up my painting game, lighting knowledge and form. It did the trick. I learned SO much from this and was able to transefer that to every aspect of my work.…
