BeastofOblivion AKA Allison Theus, is an american concept artist currently living in the USA. She mainly deals in freelance work though has recently become permanently employed with her most recent games company.
BoO deals mainly in creature designs and world building which is what first attracted me to her work.
As a creature designer one of the things that I feel that i need work on is my abilities to develop my own world, I never feel like I'm able to stick to the lore that I write and things end up going a bit messed up with continuity issues.
However I've learned from watching Theus' work that things can and will change in your world building, its just inevitable, and thats completely fine. Its in fact healthy to redesign and constantly flesh out your original characters to further your world building abilities.
Another thing I have learned from Beast of Oblivion is the art of gradient colouring. I have always loved the colouring techniques that Allison uses in her art and would really like to learn the various blending techniques she uses in her work to utilise the work fully but its much easier said than done as I have always struggled with my blending techniques and colour theories.
For people who love creature, environment and world building design there really isn't a better person to follow. Allison is constant in her work flow and you'll never be short of new things to look at when you watch her work.
