Cernonnus

In time of Midsummer I made an illustration about Cernonnus: the horned god of Celtic mythology. Cernonnus is the god of fertility, animals, wealth and underworld.

"Vincenzo" the human warrior

Actually, the idea was to call him Breogàn, since I was inspired by the ancient Celtic warriors and Breogàn was the name of the Celic warrior who, according to a legend, was the founder of Galicia (that is where I'm living in this moment), but my better-half (a true Galician man) named him 'Vincenzo'. When I asked why he replied to me: "Ma perché vince sempre!" that is the Italian for: "Of course because he always wins!". Yes, the Italian name "Vincenzo" sounds a lot like the verb "vincere" that means "to win".

At that point, with a motive explaned in my own native language... how could I help choosing this name?

A small favour

At the end of last year I was hosted ad a guest in a fantastic sci-fi graphic novel about time travels and adventures and all those cool stuff written by John Grimes and Cal Palmquist. Now it's finally out. If you are in US you can find it  at the next Florida Super Con and at Yampa Bay Comic Con, in any case you can find more information at the facebook page of the comic or read some sample at https://tapas.io/series/SmallFavor

This is the black and white version of my panel:

The wizard

Work in progress for a random wizard

Mermaids

Mermay is over, but still I don't have enough of mermaid, so I finally completed the sketch I publoshed some weeks ago.

Now I will be back in drawing people with legs.
You cand find it in my patreon page too: patreon.com/fedzeppelin

Dark elf monk

In the end, just like some other artist, I'm on patreon that is a web site and allow artist to ask to be supported by their follower; but I'm not about to left the blog: my arts will go on here all the same, even if some fantasy themed artwork will be shared only in patreon or at list with a priority of some days there. Anyway, if you want to take a look, here there is my page:  https://www.patreon.com/fedzeppelin

And here there is my first post for patreon: a character design for a dark elf monk.

Big rock candy mountain

That's what I'm drawing while I'm in low calories regime with almost no carbs in my life :'(

Elf sorceress wip

This is definitely a work in progress time. Here there is the first step of a commission: behold the elf sorceress pencil sketch.

Work in progress mermaid

It's an idea I had been thinking for a while, at the moment it's just a work in progress... let's see what happens

Chibi mermaid

Again... speaking of goldfish, a chibi version of a mermaid.

Black moor...

... or black telescope, it's the common black goldfish you can see more or less in every fishtank: here there is my Mermay 20, this elegant curvy beaury ready for a prom.

Muraena helena

My mermay 19, inspired by a picture on one of my father's books where, as I child, I used to see the 'smiling fish' Muraena helena

Orcinus orca

This smart curvy beauty is my entrance for the day 18 of MerMay.

Physalia physalis mermaid

Latley Physalia physalis is always in the news because of an invasion she is doing of the southern Spain coasts, so it came naturally to me to draw a Physalia physalis medmaid as a MerMay day 17.

Cyprinus carpio mermaid

Oooops! Maybe this little Chinese princess butterfly koi mermaid messed up something.

Here there is my MerMay 16.

Cephalopterus Manta mermaid

MerMay day 16, a manta mermaid inspired bu this pic https://www.instagram.com/p/BixQk5alYaJ/?taken-by=reefrepairel

Here there is my MerMay day 14 in pantone and crayon. I'm almost there.

MerMay 12 and 13

Keeping on without being able to be up at the day

MerMay 11 Steampunk Periophthalmus argentilineatus

Periophthalmus argentilineatus is a little fish a.k.a mudskipper because of its habit of go out the water and spend some time in the mud. For this peculiar fish I imagined a steampunk mermaid and drawed it in crayons, pantone, and coffee spreaded by a make-up brush since in my new home I didn't brought my watercolour brushes at the moment.

Dancing betta splendend

Today my MerMay 10 is setted in Cambodia: a betta splendens siren drawed in pantone like a Cambodian dancer.
