Once Great Yosghoul (2020)

Drawn for the Light Grey Art Lab World Roulette book. A description of Yosghoul that was paired with this piece—

In times long past, times willfully forgotten by any who would know of it, tyrants ruled what is now called Once Great Yosghoul. Brutal and cruel, they forged themselves as gods, unjudgeable and unending. But judgement found them all the same and ended them in the molten rage of Mount Yos.

The only souls left in Once Great Yosghoul are the inheritors of its ruin. Punished folk who cling to stories of the life of grandeur owed to them. From time to time, a young Yosghoul lord will forget their birthright, and their wishful thoughts will drift to far away shores. But wanting is unbecoming of young lords, and so they dredge the petrified pieces of their ancestors from the guts of the earth and affix that profaned geology to their own flesh as a reminder of their unjudgeable, unending rule.

Steven Universe: Diamond Days concludes with an amazing hour long special event tonight, January 21st at 7:00pm on Cartoon Network!

Been posting these promos over on twitter for the past couple weeks. This run of episodes was such a wonderful bunch to work on, and the whole crew put so much into the finale. Don’t miss it! 

(Also here’s some textless versions for any of y’all that want just the art!)

Castle Mech Bay

I started this illustration at the beginning of the year and slowly worked at it throughout an extensive art block. But it’s done now and that feels amazing. On to other things!

Luz and Owls

A few months ago I had the pleasure of starting at DisneyTVA as Lead Background Designer on their upcoming show, The Owl House! It’s a wonderful show with a delightful (and amazingly skilled) crew and I’m super excited to be part of it!

(I drew this before I knew anything about the show beyond the initial promo poster, so there’s no spoilers or hints here!)
