“Welcome to the Mighty Nein”
Finished my first watch-through of C2 and what an incredible experience it was 🖤 I don’t really have the words, but here’s some art to celebrate these wonderful characters and their story.
The Shadowhand
Finally taking the leap and posting some of my cosplay photos for the first time! Essek’s character and story arc is one of my all-time favorites in any piece of media, and this cosplay was really a labor of love.

Annual Egg Post!
It seems I’ve accidentally started a Silmarillion Heraldry tradition for myself! The center-top Luthien design was done in 2021 and the rest were done this week (2024). Which is your favorite?
Idril (left, 2024) Luthien 1 (center-top, 2021) Luthien 2 (center-bottom, 2024) Finarfin (right, 2024)
These designs are based on JRR Tolkien’s heraldry designs and each egg takes about 5 hours for me to create.
Happy holidays my friends! Hope you have a restful and magical close to the year. Wishing you the best in 2024!

I haven’t posted much this year but thank you for sticking with me! 2023 has flown by faster than I could have imagined and much of my free time and attention has been on other projects, recovering from burnout, and experiencing big life events with friends and family. Looking forward to sharing new pieces with you soon!
“The portrait had seemed like a memorial.” - “The Bedlam Stacks” by Natasha Pulley
I’ve started and restarted this painting a dozen times over the last two years trying to do justice to this gorgeous book.
#the bedlam stacks#natasha pulley#pulleyverse#raphael tbs#at any given moment i am mere seconds away from crying over this book and its characters#the beautiful tragedy that is raphael sends me off-the-charts feral on a regular basis#trying to get the vibes right in this was a struggle#i rarely feel happy/proud of my art but this one... this one I kind of like#digital art#myartwork#artbykhuggs#art by khuggs
Braided Water. First painting of the new year! These braided streams are one of my favorite parts of Iceland’s landscape.
Digital painting. 4hrs. Based on my photos from Iceland last summer!
Wrapping up the year with a reread and small tribute to one of my favorite books, “The Bedlam Stacks” by Natasha Pulley ❄️
Digital Painting. 13 Hrs.
#natasha pulley#the bedlam stacks#pulleyverse#merrick tremayne#by ‘favorite’ I mean I cried for three days straight and it’s lived rent-free in my brain for over a year#this time I decided to process it by painting for 13 hours instead of just staring at my wall for the same amount of time#am I going to revive my old personal blog so I can scream into the void about this book - yes#shoutout to my friend @R who allowed me to bully her into reading it too#<3#myartwork#artbykhuggs#khuggs
The Strays of Amalo
Just some wishful fanart of Thara and Iäna because, let’s be real, a whole lot of Things™️ are suddenly going to make sense to Iäna once he sees Thara’s apartment and meets the cats.
Digital Paining, 12hrs
#thara celehar#iana pel thenhior#the witness for the dead#the grief of stones#the goblin emperor#katherine addison#let’s be real Thara’s basically a stray who keeps turning up unannounced at the VO#and Iäna’s afraid of scaring him off and just keeps offering him food from his mother’s restaurant.#im just too invested in this sad lonely cleric and his dramatic theater boyfriend#myartwork#khuggs#artbykhuggs
Hope you’re having a spooky and safe Halloween weekend!
Hi friends! It’s pretty rare for me to talk about personal things on public spaces like this, but I’m making an exception today to talk about an anxiety disorder that I live with. More under the cut to keep your dash going :)

I read “The Binding” by Bridget Collins last month and it’s been living rent-free in my head ever since, so of course I had to paint something.
Race Against The Dawn
EXU Calamity was truly a heartbreaking and incredible piece of storytelling to experience. It’s been on my mind for weeks now, so please enjoy my first-ever piece of CR fanart, featuring Zerxus and Tempus.

“A dollop of milk and seven sugars”
I know I’m late to the party, but I finally binged OFMD last weekend! (And then immediately watched it again while painting this!) 🏴☠️🏳️🌈
