Holy crap the way I thought this was a painted custom 3D sculpt before I really read the caption :O

holy smokes this is so gorgeous!

I can never get enough of the way you render scales! They just feel so three dimensional! I can't imagine just how long it takes to paint them individually

Your grasp on lighting and form is seriously so inspirational omg

eliartema11.bsky.social•5 days ago

wow the scales texture is incredible!

kenshiki666.bsky.social•5 days ago

The fact this is 2d, much like your other work still absolutely blows me away, absolutely fantastic ~

kizunova.bsky.social•6 days ago

I will never not be mesmerized by your art! It's incredible how your paintings look like hand-crafted models. The amount of detail is astonishing!

metricvoid.bsky.social•6 days ago

Woahhh mind blown seeing your work!

I have an all white snake and these scales are so lifelike to how they are irl- awesome work!!

khyaber.art•5 days ago

Thanks! I did indeed use photos of white snakes and white lizards as reference

metricvoid.bsky.social•5 days ago

The folds are incredible, would you ever do pet portraits?

khyaber.art•4 days ago

It's not out of the question. I've done a small handful in my life, but they are a different beast entirely

I see what you are doing and understand it in concept, but your value and color control are amazing to see each time. Fantastic work!

Thanks very much

Not gonna lie, when I first glanced at this on my timeline I thought it was a physical, 3d sculpture. Really gorgeous work, super impressive!

believeinshadows.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is actually one of the most incredible paintings I’ve ever seen holy shit

quilowisp.bsky.social•6 days ago

2D? Could had fooled me.

eskiworks.bsky.social•6 days ago

Your grasp on form, from the biggest all the way down the tiniest structures, is just the absolute BEST I have ever seen!

khyaber.art•5 days ago

Thanks so much 😄

spaghettivulture.bsky.social•5 days ago

that's crazy good, I like how you rendered the neck folds, really adds a lot of weight to your artwork

fleshnomancer.bsky.social•6 days ago

kamakru.bsky.social•6 days ago

Everything you do seriously blows me away. I try to grasp how you manage to like, get the lighting and values so realistic. Gorgeous, ah!

Amazing work!
And the details look so good in this! Like the folds and the inside of the ears - love it ^.=.^

joejoe4games.bsky.social•6 days ago

Damn! At a first glance being explicit that it's 2D painted was kind of necesary. Such amazing work!

kirauriel.bsky.social•5 days ago

hey what. how. the rendering on this is shirt circuiting my brain, phenomenal job!

rienkarrot.bsky.social•6 days ago

Very interesting, flexible hide look but scale texture! And the color is a pretty hard one to render well, I definitely see the improvements~

pupy.bsky.social•6 days ago

wow! i would have thought this was a sculpture had you not said otherwise. Beautiful rendering 💕💕

xenfree.bsky.social•5 days ago

2D???? WHATCHU MEAN THIS ISN'T A PAINTED CLAY MODEL???

arwen1a.bsky.social•5 days ago

I literally thought this was like a clay model or something... holy crap! amazing!

tokyozilla.bsky.social•6 days ago
