I think the tactile puppet look of the OoT remake is a really smart way to update the low poly models from the original while keeping their spirit. It reminds me a bit of It Takes Two.

The 40th anniversary of Zelda is all the excuse you need to submerge yourself in classic Katsuya Terada art.

One last thing before I clock out for a couple weeks. Frankenstein 科学怪人 poster I did a few months back for CODA's Universal Monsters Gallery Show opening tonight in Los Angeles, CA and in Austin, TX. Check it out if you're in either city! Thanks as always to CODA for having me~
A black and white screen printed poster of Frankenstein (1931). The Monster carries the lifeless body of Maria, a little girl he befriends and tosses daisies into a river with her. He accidentally kills her by throwing her into the water where she drowns. Now he walks with her body in his hands through the forest at the riverside, as her body slowly disintegrates into daisies. All of the poster's text is in Traditional Chinese.

⚔️RUINS⚔️

Day 17 of #tolktober25 organised by @rogueprintco.bsky.social

🔥All Quiet On The Eastern Front🔥

#Illustration #Tolktober #LOTR
Illustrated image in orange and blue. A scene from the Lord Of The Rings. The Witch King of Angmar sits on his fell beast on a citadel dome in the ruined city of Osgiliath. The city is on fire, flames and silhouettes are reflected in the river that runs through the city. Dark silhouetted orcs and goblins crouch menacingly amongst the ruins. The mountains of Mordor are back lit by a red glow from Orodruin.

The Party Tree - happy belated birthday Bilbo!
Watercolour and acryla gouache on paper

One of my Tolkien-inspired works. If you're here because you enjoyed the Smaug I painted for Magic: The Gathering, I have more where that came from!
A hobbit leaves his home in the dead of night, he carries a backpack and sets out on a journey. In the background, we see a lively birthday party under a well-lit tree, and a sky full of fireworks.
