Hello, everyone 😊 Im excited to share my new digital artwork, created using Krita, featuring a blazing creature I designed called the Fire Beetle.

The Fire Beetle is a hardened warrior insect, forged from the heart of a volcano. It is black and armored, meant to survive, but what makes it most dangerous is the smoldering fire on its back a living blaze that never fades. With glowing red eyes and razor-sharp claws, this monster charges through the battlefield's ashes, spreading heat and destruction behind it.

I wished to produce a character that is alive with energy, and dangerous with every step. The fire effect was particularly fun to paint. I used broad brushstrokes and an intense color palette to convey movement and power. I also made sure that the body structure was insect like but over exaggerated to introduce fantasy into it.
