alive in dark places

Tom Vild's digital sketchbook linktr.ee/tomvildart UK illustrator & comic artist - MA Comic Art & Graphic Novel student - I Saw Its Halo (in the works)

Hello again tumblr. It's been a while! Life has been a bit full on in the past few months with some personal things going on, and now I'm coming to the end of my MA degree and simultaneously getting ready to pick up the keys to a new place and move at the end of the month! After that I can breathe. And start posting more regularly again!

This is a sketch of a page I was working on for my last module, being a bit loose and free with the comics format here. I didn't get to finish this page specifically but it's something I'd really love to take into the comic in the future.

Osric the physician's first ever encounter with Lovell - the one who's all x_x - Osric has no idea how saving this man's life is going to alter his own.

A mock cover I made for ISIH! I like it as an illustration but can't really imagine the cover actually being something like this. It was the only good idea I had, and I had to throw it together in a short time.

An illuminated manuscript, as if penned by Osric. Would love to make something like this traditionally in the future when I have the time for it! Details below!

Little sketch of Osric and his werewolf.

Some earlier character studies of Lovell (left) and Eadric (right). From my in the works comic, ISIH!

Lovell looking particularly away with the fairies here...

I had to do a little character sheet for my MA about my comic dudes, so I figured I'd share it here too.

@elmeans17 Since you drew my Lovell I wanted to draw one of your OCs too - so here's a little Helkeizer to say thank you :> This was only meant to be a sketch but I was kinda having a lot of fun drawing that scar + teefs - hope you like it!

Fuarck, just accidentally flagged my own post for review 😭

[tomvildart]

Whoa hey! It's been a minute. Between work, my MA, and some life circumstances, I haven't updated here much. But here is a fairly recent drawing I did for an exhibition at Leeds Arts University! Called Strength.

It was blown up 50cm by 50cm by the student union for the show, and I got to keep the print afterwards, hehe.

Everyone's favourite monster <3

I watched Del Toro's Frankenstein recently, and... ;__;

Some sort of practice in clarity gone awry. Osric, and his scars.

Oh my god, the sheer amount of bots/scammers on this site is sad. Back in my day, every user was a real person. I've barely put anything on here and already had 5 or so randoms who have never before interacted with me or my work asking me to DM them because they "want a commission"

One person even offered to pay me for platonic friendship. Who knows, maybe I missed out on a truly generous benefactor and I will forever regret reporting and blocking him
