The #monster manual is out in the wild. Here is one entry that was not previewed before. The insane, warped Nothic. I crunched up its pose so that its “head” was nearly upside down…drool dripping over its burning eye. Really inspired by both Venom and Xenomorphs. #DnD

🌙 10k #artshare 🌙 Thank you so much for all the support🖤 -Share your art and talk a bit about yourself! -Keep it SFW Ai/nfts = instant block I'll share my favorites throughout the day!

Another illustration of mine was in the #DND preview of the Monster Manual today. What do you call a group of Salamanders? A “swarm” …a “flare” of Salamanders? This one was fun a puzzle to get everything to read clearly while still giving it a red heat throughout. AD: @furygalluzzi.bsky.social

Sorry I forgot to show these soon after the other Yuan Ti previewed. Usually considered a lower caste of the Yuan Ti, these have simple belted tunics and shapeless cloak/ponchos. “Observant” and “lithe” were in the back of my mind during the design process. Working with AD @furygalluzzi.bsky.social

Knowing that over half the voters wanted this… it’s really doing a number on me today. So just know: when I post about inconsequential things like paintings of dragons, I’m not ignoring the world around me. It’s 1) my job 2) a coping mechanism and 3)hopefully a source of enjoyment for you

More of the Yuan Ti previewed last week. (Working alongside AD: @furygalluzzi.bsky.social ) While designing their costumes I envisioned these as from a soldier caste of the Yuan Ti culture. I wanted my four illustrations to use costume as a way to show different levels of Yuan Ti society.

Previewed this past week for the the Monster Manual from #DnD. Yuan Ti! I was tasked with illustrating ALL of the images for the Yuan Ti entries in the book. It was so exciting to know that the costumes, bodies/faces, etc. I designed will influence how players might imagine them. AD: Fury Galluzzi

David Lynch gave us some wonderful art. It is sometimes difficult, but it helps us wonder. The pictures and sounds have no “message” you can simply agree or disagree with.

Frost Giants. For the new #DnD Monster Manual. I hope your stealth checks are good. AD: Fury Galluzzi
