Fiery Pixel Mage

To celebrate the landmark, I wanted to post something from ancient times before I even started posting. My process of developing this particular style, my first clumsy attempts at art, up to finally figuring out what I want to draw and how. 1. First ever digital art, not yet MachineInsight01 but trying. 2. One of many illustrations made for my roleplaying group, it was then I really started thinking about illustrating my worlds. 3. When I was preparing to go to art school, (I never received any formal training), to get better, I tried to pick up some skills from art that inspired me back then. Pieces by Albrecht Dürer I was studying pointed me in this drawing direction. This piece is a practice of a skeksis from Dark Crystal. 4. First ever MachineInsight01 piece; to this day I'm proud of it. There you go, a bit of lore, hopefully not too cringe. I just wanted to show you guys some never-before-seen content. Someone asked me a while back why I started drawing stuff like that and in my particular style, so basically here is the answer.
