I got permission to post my work from another RPG project. These are from a book called Empire of the Ghouls by Wolfgang Baur. It was done on a patron/sponsor system with people buying the book in advance and then having input on the process. Kind of interesting. I'm currently working on some pieces for another book that's going to have an Arabian Nights vibe to it.

Anyway, on to the monsters...
Vulture Sphinx:
The Last King:
Gnomish Vampire:
Deathcap Myconid:
I'll try to post some of my initial sketches and pencil drawings later.

Also, the art style, color saturation, etc are consistent and I think that's really important for doing a rpg book. You want everything to feel like it exists in the same world.
Just because I haven't experimented much outside the defaults, I don't know as much about other possibilities for brushes.
Do you have a custom set of brushes you normally use?
The Myconid is better, but still looks a little silly since the size of the mouth makes it look like a face with hands and feet attached. If it's not such a serious threat then I guess that's appropriate, but if he's supposed to be as intimidating as possible then a little less exaggeration on the face/mouth area might help.
But that's just stylistic stuff. Technically, all of this is first-rate stuff, DMAC.
My scary stuff isn't really all that scary. It's more "Jim Henson's Creature Shop" scary.
Edit: Which, as we know, is a lie. Please fix this, DMAC.
Way to go, kiddo! ;-)
Here's a process shot of the Myconid piece showing the pencils, flats, and final colors:
Fuck you, H-scroll!

I demand answers!
not that there's anything wrong with the finals. they are just more processed and plasticy than i normally dig.
