Feels like it's been forever since I made this piece! This is Lookfar and it's my tribute to Ursula le Guin, who wrote A Wizard of Earthsea in the 1960s and is still one of the best fantasy books ever written. www.martintomsky.com/shop/lookfar #art #fantasy #earthsea

Shower Thoughts - inspired by imaginary arguments that did not happen, will never happen and are without question, resolved in your favour (in your head). www.martintomsky.com/shop/shower-... #art #skeleton #showerthoughts

The process of making Comfort in the Dark, from plywood to final artwork. What you can hear are my extractor fans while in my headphones, I was actually listening to A Trade in Blood by Robert Jackson Bennet. Find this and all my other piece here - www.martintomsky.com/shop #art #craft

Brand new work!! This is Comfort in the Dark and it's about about a friendship with an unspeakable horror that lurks in the shadows. Available here - www.martintomsky.com/shop/comfort... #art #illustration #darkness

Does this Bookworm even have a face or do the words seep into their mind through a semi permeable membrane? www.martintomsky.com/shop/bookworm #art #bookshelf

Say hello to Chomp, a parasite who is about to cause absoloute mayhem in somebody's guts or burst into song. www.martintomsky.com/shop/chomp #art #characterdesign

A quick introduction to the new members of the crew! Art is generally pretty expensive and everyone should get a chance to own some art - even if it's tiny and deeply unserious. www.martintomsky.com/shop?categor... #art #illustration #characterdesign

Stocking up on Avid Readers, for those of us who get so absorbed in a book that you forget to eat, sleep and breath until your skeleton is overgrown with vines. www.martintomsky.com/shop/avid-re... #art #illustration #bookclub

Two shrines to the God of Fantasy Fiction! A complicated design and altar piece for those who like me, cannot consume enough fantasy books. I just finished Alchemised by SenLinYu, which was genuinely brilliant and would definitely recommend. www.martintomsky.com/shop/god-of-... #art #fantasy

Delicious Melon, I designed this piece four years ago and my feelings towards watermelons have only grown stronger during that time. www.martintomsky.com/shop/delicio... #art #skeleton #watermelon

I've been working my way through #Silksong recently, so it was a genuine pleasure to remake my original Hallownest in all its frankly ridiculous level of detail. Particularly pleased with my tiny rendition of Hornet with her needle. www.martintomsky.com/shop/preorde... #hollowknight #art #woodwork
