Some words from the artist regarding this piece:
Rusałka is a slavic female demon usually appearing around lakes, ponds or rivers. She deceives men and drowns them. I wanted to show her as a dead corpse that uses a charm, so that she looks like a pretty woman when out of the water.
I've had some voices wondering about the swastikas on the rims of the guys shirt. So to make it clear. I have no connotations with any extreme right wing parties nor do I keep any nazi or racist oriented beliefs. Swastika has been used for hundreds of years in Poland, before Hitler stole it and spoilt it for everyone. The action of the image takes place in 9th or 10th century. If you want to know more about swastikas just wiki it. There is a really broad and interesting article written about it.
Very cool. It reminds me a bit of some of the titan corpses strewn throughout Hyper Light Drifter.

This image is based upon a couple of lines from Andrzej Sapkowski's 'A Grain Of Truth':
"... She was a jolly girl, I tell you. Do you know what she thought up? We'd both frighten unwanted guests. Imagine a guest like that enters the courtyard, looks around, and then, with a roar, I charge at him on all fours with Fenne, completely naked, sitting on my back and blowing my grandfather's hunting horn!"
This painting is cover art for a Lovecraftian influenced comic book "Rat God". For the link to the Amazon page of the comic book, please click here:

Chthonian is a term that existed before Lovecraft was born, referring to earth and underworld-aligned deities and spirits. In all likelihood, the term probably influenced him instead of the reverse. More you know!
This image is part of Litvishkov's 'Dreams in Cosmos' series. You can see more in the series, as well as his other inspired artwork on his Behance and dAPortfolio, but mostly on Behance.
And he's drawing the cover for my next book!

I've been shouting the guy's name from the rooftops. I love his stuff.

This project has been a dream of mine for a long time. Ever since I was a little kid I wanted a book specifically about giant monsters. Now I finally have a chance to make that possible. Please check out my page and feel free to share this page and help get the word out and help me get my eBook made.
Sveta Dorosheva has lots more of these intricately drawn, age-old types of artwork on her Behance page.
About the artist: Originally from Ukraine and currently based in Israel, Sveta is a freelance illustrator working in the areas of narrative illustration and art for books. Sveta enjoys traditional drawing by hand, most of her illustrations are works in paper. Her anachronistic style of illustration and symbolic imagery take strong influence from fairy tales, folklore and mythologies.
She considers golden age book illustration to be a huge influence on her work, particularly the illustrations of Edmund Dulac, Kay Nielsen and Harry Clarke. Her research into medieval illuminated manuscripts further informs her visual narrative.
Sveta's intricate compositions reflect her fascination with medieval emblemata and bizarre grotesques. She uses a combination of manuscript decoration and modern day typography to create beautiful lettering and intricate handwritten illustrations. Her detailed illustrations are executed using pen, ink and watercolor or acrylics.
In BW she basically had remnants of her old ghost uniform.
It's probably what OP is calling Neill Blomkamp's Alien movie concept art. He apparently made it for fun as the sequel to Aliens he would have made.

Oh yes. Yes, yes, yes.

There are many options to choose from on Android. I use Sync, and it's awesome. It's almost as good as desktop with RES.

A personal project by Razuev. Tall ships at night in the rain with sea monsters - a most classic combination.

I can only wish that a Hollywood director thinks of making this scene as the very start of an interesting movie...
This piece was the artist's entry for an online art contest. More of Urbanski's stuff can be seen on his Behance and his blogspot.
I love the panic in this pic. The artist describes it as a "Moon Monster Surprise Party" which is perfectly understandable :D
More of Christian Bravery's artwork is on his website and Art Station.
I can't tell if they want to eat it or admire it's gumption...
If you like this, then Riccardo Zema has a few more in this style on his "Within the Woods" series on his Behance account. Also, check out his website too if you feel so inclined.
It's a book that's just a collection of art. But I enjoy images that put a realistic view on Hell, and give it actual life. His choice of imagery provide an epic tale that I wish would be told!
Edit: Nevermind, he's already written something :-D
This image was not hand-drawn, but I've created it using a machine-learning based tool called ArtBreeder, so I hope it still qualifies as OC. Here is a link if someone wants to give it a go and breed something else off it.
This was the first creature I created: https://dribbble.com/shots/1532035-Creature. This one more or less borrows from the same style.
Any feedback for taking this to a new level? I'd love to do a whole set of these guys.

Many many many hours of clicking. If you're interested in seeing some detail and process shots here's the profile link.
It's also available on Threadless pending a successful campaign.
Thanks for looking!
Apologies.
For reference, this was published in the book Monsters & Creatures (Dungeons & Dragons): A Young Adventurer's Guide (Dungeons & Dragons Young Adventurer's Guides) (https://www.amazon.com/Monsters-Creatures-Adventurers-Dungeons-Dragons/dp/1984856405) back in 2019. I thought that this would have fallen under the description of "bestiary".
Separate question...can you please identify where the "No Card Art" is listed in the side bars? I try to respect the rules of reddit, but missed this one.
Thanks in advance.
there's one I found recent from Lynda it's called Universal Principles of Design, then there's all the art talks from youtube, fengzhu, zsummit, levelup, anthony jones "robot pencil", art cafe, those are the top ones I can remember right now, they will introduce you to books, how to learn and where to find more info
I have no idea why I thought we were talking about Dinosaurs, I must've forgot what my OG comment was about, my apologies!! A recommendation for field guides might be the Spiderwick Field Guide , which has all the creatures from the book series with more awesome illustrations
I used to read "The New Dinosaurs" as a kid. It's an alternative evolutionary path that dinosaurs might have taken. Has some killer illustrative work to boot!
