Monster Art illustration is a LoRA that seeks to reproduce an illustration style characterized by intense scratchboard and intricate linework that give dark mythical and esoterical atmosphere in many comics, role-playing games, and video games.

This style is emblematic to many artists. My personal favourite being Eric Sabee, an American illustrator well known for his illustration work on the fantasy card game Ascension.

Other famous artists like Alex Grey or Android Jones also share this fantasmagorical hallucinatory style of drawing.

This style is also used to illustrate games like Mörk Borg or Hylics, giving them a dark, disturbing and esoterical feeling.

This Monster Art illustration style characterized by :

 ·         Intricate scratchboard-style linework and engraved textures
Heavy linework, etching and traditional engraving techniques are the key features of the style. Pictures are built through fine scratches, crosshatching patterns, carved highlights, and sharp textural contrasts.

 ·         Organic deformation and fluid morphology
Elongated faces, deformed bodies, weird proportions are intricately part of the style, giving a mysterious and otherworldly sense on the pictures.

 ·         High-contrast atmospheric lighting
Dramatic and directional lighting, dark backgrounds, internal glow…everything adds to the depth and mysteries of the compositions.

 ·         Dense layered composition with surreal detail saturation

Images are cluttered with micro-details, overlapping textures, hidden patterns and organic structures, creating a kind of hallucinatory visual complexity.

Depending on the production, the overall style renders perfectly psychedelic and hallucinatory style suitable of fantasy and sci-fi illustrations.
