I feel a little bad that I forgot about him in my planned favourite artist posts and now that I think about it there&#8217;s probably a few I&#8217;ve missed ^^;;.&nbsp;I first discovered Nivbed\u2019s work by chance through another artist\u2019s site back when I was in high school. Since then I&#8217;ve always admired his skill and have followed his work for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-832\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/Nivbed_Lost_Watchtower.jpg\" alt=\"Nivbed - The Lost Watchtower\" class=\"wp-image-832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Lost_Watchtower.jpg 550w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Lost_Watchtower-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Lost_Watchtower-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Lost_Watchtower-175x122.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption>The Lost Watchtower<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-image-830\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/damsel_md-696x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Nivbed - Damsel In Blue\" class=\"wp-image-830\"\/><figcaption>Damsel In Blue<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Nivbed is quite the elusive artist because information about him is hard to come across and he releases finished artwork rarely &#8211; sometimes months or years between them. A lot of his old work like the <em>Charlton Mamarlade<\/em> images have also disappeared over time; a lot being removed particularly after he redesigns his website. Luckily while searching images for this post, I found an <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20030413164110\/http:\/\/www.nivbed.com\/cg.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">archive of his old site<\/a> and have managed to pull some of older images to share (I will saving the rest of my favourites for safe keeping).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-834\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/Nivbed_Death-of-Yar.jpg\" alt=\"Nivbed - Death of Yar\" class=\"wp-image-834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Death-of-Yar.jpg 550w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Death-of-Yar-150x125.jpg 150w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Death-of-Yar-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Death-of-Yar-147x122.jpg 147w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption>Death of Yar &#8211; one of early of Chaza from the Charlatan Marmalade series<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-835\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/Nivbed_Charalatan-Marmalade.jpg\" alt=\"Nivbed - Charalatan Marmalade\" class=\"wp-image-835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Charalatan-Marmalade.jpg 550w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Charalatan-Marmalade-124x150.jpg 124w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Charalatan-Marmalade-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Charalatan-Marmalade-101x122.jpg 101w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption>Charalatan Marmalade<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-836\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"700\" src=\"http:\/\/i271.photobucket.com\/albums\/jj139\/Natushi12\/Nivbed_Lost.jpg\" alt=\"Nivbed - Lost\" class=\"wp-image-836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Lost.jpg 529w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Lost-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Lost-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_Lost-92x122.jpg 92w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><figcaption>Lost<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-837\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"548\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/Nivbed_And_She_Turned.jpg\" alt=\"Nivbed - And She Turned\" class=\"wp-image-837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_And_She_Turned.jpg 550w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_And_She_Turned-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_And_She_Turned-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/Nivbed_And_She_Turned-122x122.jpg 122w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption>Part of the And She Turned sketches<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I fell in love with Nivbed&#8217;s work at a time when I was getting into drawing and was looking at inspiration.
