Mav's Art Blog

This tumblr is to showcase my own art as well as images by others that I feel can inspire it.

Please reblog rather than repost my work. I'd greatly appreciate it.
My funny/personal tumblr, as well as other links, can be found in my "Find Me" section below. Enjoy.

So as none of you may know, I’ve been sick for the passed 3-4 months now which has pretty much made me put my art on hold for the time being. Hence my lack of posting/updating this blog. I’m trying not to let it hold be back too much if I can help it though, so I decided to try picking up a tablet again. This is what I got for my efforts: A character I haven’t seriously drawn in about 3 years now. I’ve always been hesitant to introduce him and really any of the characters in Calo and I’s WoW-inspired universe, but I decided to say fuck it. It’s about time they got some art, so have a WIP.
This is my Holy Paladin, Knoah. Everything will look less shitty(the wings especially) if I actually make the effort to continue this, I promise. Enjoy the sneak peak until then and hopefully I’ll get back into the swing of posting art for you guys soon.

My half of an art trade with the super talented Mav.

Aaaah, my tumblr absents completely made me miss you posting this here. Look at this gorgeous beast. It’s stunning on so many levels. I literally wrote her a novel with my thoughts and feelings on this amazing piece of work when she showed it to me, but I’ll spare you all of watching me jizz in my pants over artwork. Seriously though, Chim. Your art will never cease to blow my mind. It came out perfect and Lielekar is simply jaw-dropping in your style. Thank you again for capturing him so spot on for me.

Not sure if this has been done but I decided to make this handy chart!I’m sure I forgot a few but feel free to add your own.

nothing drives me up a wall like ‘THEY LOOK LIKE SO AND SO’ LIKE JESUS FUCK

This on so many levels. I have such a bad impression of a “popular” PI artist because they had the nerve to pop into one of my first threads with #1 and some sugar coating. Good job. I personally love comments of all kinds, even the “cools!” as I’m sure there are other artists in the same boat, but some stuff like this can’t help but rub me the wrong way (whether it’s on my own art or not.) Do try to respect that most artists will draw and share what they want and that most of these unhelpful comments are not needed or healthy in their growth as an artist.

Welp since I cant seem to get into the animating groove tonight, figured I might as well be productive!My half of an overdue sketch trade with one of my old bros Mav of his Incubus Liel.  Decided on going with his more bestial form simply because I’m terrible at felines and need more practice with them.  While challenging I def had some fun with this one, hope you like it!

Damn Bro, that’s not a sketch, what are you doing to me?! This looks fucking amazing man, thank you so much. Mine feels completely inadequate in comparison, thanks for that. Haha, but seriously, this turned out great. Totally thrilled to see him in your style and you captured him marvelously. I’m flippin’ out over here thanks again. I love it.

A young woman is being followed by a crocodile who represents her shyness. 

A short by Alice Bissonnet, Aloyse Desoubries Binet, Sandrine Hanji Kuang, Juliette Laurent, and Sophie Markatatos.

Simply amazing animation, super creative and I can’t get over how much I can relate this to one of my own OC pairs. Gorgeous work that I would definitely recommend anyone watch.

Commission Information.

Commission Status: Closed.

Hello all! I’m a little tight on funds right now, so I’ve decided to open commissions to see if anyone was willing to help a brother out. All prices are in USD and depend on the complexity of the character or background you are requesting. Multiple characters in one piece will be priced on a case by case basis, but usually given at a slight discount to the original base price.

Examples and walls of information after the break, so have a look if you’d be so kind.
