Sketchbook: Hellmouth

Hellmouth · Aug 2018

Hello! I'm Dio Hellmouth, I'm (primarily) a 2D artist who draws characters, human or otherwise, and creatures! You can find my work on Tumblr, Artstation, and DeviantArt! I am also on Twitter, where I sometimes post unique things (mostly sketches)!

Hellmouth · Aug 2018

Some art I've done for others recently, during the #drawthisinyourstyle trend on Twitter, as well as art trades

Hellmouth · Aug 2018

Finished my part of another art trade. I love winged characters but they can also be a bit of a headache sometimes (especially if feathers are involved)

Aliens from a long-running project of mine that I eventually ran out of steam on. Probably still some of my best designs...?

Hey! Here's Nier: Automata's 2B but With Pants: A Redesign

(These sketches featuring a longer coat came later)

More importantly I guess, I'm also trying my hand at this Inktober business, even though I'm not very good at drawing in general without an underlying sketch of some sort.

Going with the "Monster Girls Challenge" for now, here's #1, the Harpy, here depicted as a... backwards headed (the "nose" and "mouth" are nostrils) feathery vampire-bat centaur.

Something I compiled for the ArtShare tag on Twitter, even though most of these're pretty old at this point. I guess haven't drawn anything 'presentable' in a while, huh*?

Redrew day 10's Succubus digitally for no real reason

Hellmouth · Oct 2018

I stopped being able to come up with interesting concepts for lost interest in the Monster Girls Challenge, so the past 2 days I've just drawn video game characters from memory...

Day 16, Velvet Crowe from Tales of Berseria

... but the sketch came out so wonky I felt bad, so here she is redrawn digitally!

Day 17, Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII. Also wonky but I'm not gonna bother...

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/ve/nu3ztgak1ezb.jpg

Hellmouth · Oct 2018

Day 18, "Pyramid Head" from Silent Hill 2

Day 19, Awakened Daimon from Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

All that aside, I think I might call it quits in regards to Inktober.

I'm really not a fan of ... the lack of control? inherent to working directly with whatever they're called, and all I've accomplished is eroding whatever confidence I had and reminding myself what a mediocre artist I am...

Hellmouth · Oct 2018

Trying out a different take on the would-be final boss of 'Soul Remains'. I've included previous attempts, too.

Hellmouth · Oct 2018

Finished these two ‘baseline’ Taitorim, been wanting to get them out of my system for a while now. Can't believe they've become my favourite design of mine, though...

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/89/cjxsxd5hx38i.jpg

Hellmouth · Nov 2018

To go with the above post, here's Taitor, whose name his clan bears thanks Soul Reaver They are supposed to be wearing clothes but I haven't gotten around to it...

Another 'demon' clan, the Iryphim

Hellmouth · Dec 2018

Been a while, I made individual threads for some of these but I never got any reactions and/or feedback. So I'm gonna just put them up here too.

Devil May Cry 2's Lucia, were she to appear in DMCV

Classes I came up with for a hypothetical Diablo IV

Miscellaneous designs for one of my projects.

A quasi-realistic redesign of Hornet, from Team Cherry's Hollow Knight! It's such a good game!

Hellmouth · Jan 2019

Happy new year!

Redrew my old(ish?) 2B redesign, while I ruminate on what to do with my current projects. I have extra images on ArtStation!

Hellmouth · Jan 2019

Looks like I might end up redesigning the whole trio since I'm second guessing my ongoing personal projects...

Hellmouth · Feb 2019

The beginnings of yet another attempt to downsize my stupidly overly ambitious game ideas…

With the Hollow Knight: Silksong announcement I felt inspired to revisit my quasi-realistic take on Hornet. You can check it out along with the previous version on ArtStation!

Two more 'demon' lords to go with Taitor up there. As before, these are supposed to be wearing clothes, but just not yet...

Hatack

Hellmouth · Mar 2019

Hey, it's been... wow, exactly one month...

Gave Taitor and Hatack some clothes, although I'm not sold on the latter's and I've been second-guessing the entire project altogether...

httpscdnaartstationcompassetsimagesimages016525078largea-stygian-sump-hatackjpg1552484890

although I did get started on this 'Elf Queen' (think of them as closer to... rabbit fauns than tolkien rip-offs) design before all that... Also comes with a more... controversial version.

I revisited my DMC5 Lucia redesign in honour of the game's release,

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/m0/a0m5vgp2c0bz.png

and today I decided to redesign one of my oldest OCs, a vampire elf named Artark

Comments would be greatly appreciated, frankly. I get no interaction on any of the websites I post art on and it is miserable.

Hellmouth · Oct 2019

Hello, it's been a while. I'm still drawing, though (for some reason...)

(each image links to their ArtStation page where you can see previous versions and various sketches, on the off chance you found them, y'know, interesting at all...)
