    uniE621 The Sluagh
    This was for a project in my graphic design course, where I created a bestiary of monsters that people used to believe that roamed in Ireland during Halloween. One of the monsters that I illustrated is called a Sluagh (Sloo-ah). A monster that can shapeshifter into a raven and stalk people from the sky and prey on the sick. illustrator illustration digitaldrawing digitalart procreate procreateart halloween bestiary graphicdesign graphicdesigner
    uniE621 Pacman Fanart
    Growing up I used to play Pacman a lot and this is just a contribution to the game that I absolutely loved playing when I was a kid! illustration illustrator digitalart digitaldrawing pacman procreate procreateart
    uniE621 The Headless Horseman
    This was a personal project of mine. I wanted to experiment with different textures when illustrating and at the time it was close to Halloween so I decided to draw the Headless Horseman. Instead of going with my usual brushes I went with a sketch pencil in Procreate. I used the sketch pencil for the Headless Horseman and a chalk like brush for the chair. I layered the strokes on top of one another to control how much light would hit the surface of the clothing and head. illustration illustrator procreate procreateart digitaldrawing digitalart characterart
    uniE621 Another Soul, Another Life
    This was a small personal project of mine which involves my original character Hollow. At first I wanted to make a small 3 slide comic, then it turned into a 10 slide comic. And now it is a comic reel! It looks very similar to a webcomic layout but I have added sound effects and music in the background. This is one of the panels I illustrated for this comic reel. Where Hollow discovers someone's soul next to an alleyway and calls his boss, the chief/captain of the police. Finding a soul usually means that there is a body nearby. illustrator illustration comic digitalart digitaldrawing characterdesign characterart conceptart
    uniE621 The Inventor
    This was for a prompt where you had to create your own characters out of the elements of Earth, Water and Air. As you can see this one is Air. The story behind this is a bird who cannot fly due to an accident that happened when he was younger. He is known as "The Inventor" in his village, where he creates and makes machines that help improve the lives of many creatures and his own. illustration illustrator conceptart procreate digitaldrawing procreateart characterdesign
    uniE621 Woodland Creature
    This was for a prompt where you had to create your own characters out of the elements of Earth, Water and Air. As you can see this one is Earth. The story behind this woodland creature is that he is the guardian of his tribe. Each woodlander is gifted a power at a certain age at a festival. Most of them would receive an earth spirit or power but this creature received a fire spirit. The whole tribe was in fear as they thought the fire spirit was too wild and would hurt the tribe. So the tribe came to a decision and they banished the woodlander. The woodlander loved his tribe so much that he decided to protect his tribe with his boulder/gorilla companion. illustrator procreate digitalart digitaldrawing fantasyillustration magic characterdesign conceptart
    uniE621 Enchanted Forest
    This was for a competition and the brief was to illustrate an enchanted forest. I decided to include a mystical stag standing next to an illuminating stream that is lighting up the surroundings.
    uniE621 Summoning Circle
    This is a prompt for Inktober (2022) and the brief was summoning circle. I decided to draw a red gooey monster that is covered in eyes and mouths as well as multiple limbs! illustrator illustration digitalart digitaldrawing inktober halloween
    uniE621 Fig Monster
    This was for Inktober in 2022 and the prompt was figs! I decided to draw a cat/worm monster eating its way through the figs! illustration illustrator digitalart procreate inktober
    uniE621 All Might fan art!
    There was a trend going around where you would draw one half of the illustration in traditional art and the other half in digital art. For this illustration I chose a character from the anime My Hero Academia, All Might. illustrator anime illustration digitalart traditionalart watercolour procreate
    uniE621 Shapeshifter
    This was just me having fun with experimenting with different shapes and it eventually turned into a head and then a body and then creating this character! I had a lot of fun drawing this and how it turned out. illustrator anime characterdesign digitaldrawing illustration
