TERPSIKHORE
500 Favourites25 Comments9K Views
Here's some creature design work I did recently for the AETHERA campaign setting by Encounter Table Publishing, illustrating several new additions to the Kyton force. These guys are called the Terpsikhore; a mindless horde of horrors impaled and pierced by nail spikes, with tight wires strung between them and through their fleshy bodies. They "play" these wires with their long fingernails like a stringed instrument - just incase they didn't creep you out enough already. Very Hellraiser type designs and I had a lot of fun on the project. I've got more beasties to come soon, hope you like them!
Concepts sketches in pencil and ink - and final painted in Photoshop CC (2015) with my Wacom Intuos pro tablet.

Ah thanks so much! Appreciate it 
My pleasure 
Bad ass.
umm...the merylin manson pro diet plan?
Haha totally! 
Awesome
nice
Fantastic design and art.
Thanks a bunch!
You're welcome
I love it, my brain starts giving the one in front a feminine lisp. It asks for a fag before the two in the back get the party started.Haha for sure, the guy at the front is like "Oh blaaaah darling, I totally forgot my teeth today..."
-shudder- the coloring really brings out that leathery skin texture !! Those creatures are so freaking disgusting (in a good way, like, well, you know what I mean )
Thank you! And yeah, I sure do 
Lovely work as usual
Silly Grandma, that's not how you knit!
good work!
FUCK YEAH!!
