Wolf-Troll Goma in an underwater sea cave. The wax from the candle in his mouth drips into a center pool of candles. Consciousness is concentrated on the flame, which transfers to the drips, and the magic enacted through the ripples and reflection...

Scorpionbox City

A vessel with a magic city within. Whether the box is really a box, or an illusion of our perception is open to question. So is whether this box is located in our world, or if it's anchored somewhere else. But if you know how to approach it, you c...

Colors-Inks-Screentone

Fox and porcupine goma. I would love to introduce goma based off different species in a different way, but oh well haha. I like porcupines because of all their spines give them a seeming "unfuckable" quality, but that ...

Manifestations of Ink

Books pierced by blades, coming alive, surrounded by insect and geometric imagery.

This image began from the thought of pierced pages bleeding armies of ink, and other fantasies, and as it grew out of that became a collision of symbols and e...

Wolf warrior with terrifying codpiece and morning star whip & a monster made out of stone-like material with strange tendrils.

Monster

Normally I don't draw a lot of weapons, and almost never with the goma. This is because I when I was a teenager I had a moment where I came to the realization that the only purpose of a sword is for humans to kill other humans. What became the gom...

Fox goma and minotaur goma. The stones have a sort of flexible metal body around them which allows them to move. The rocks are sort of halfway between an animal and a vehicle. They have interior lives of their own, but it comes from somewhere else...
