No business value was achieved But but but AI adds business value

Thank you! I wouldn't be an artist without her, so this felt like the most natural piece in the world to make. I'm very glad that it resonates with so many other people as well!

It was important for me to make sure that people know there are more things to fear from mushrooms than just a zombie-apocalypse scenario.

It was an absolute delight to paint all these waves of magic. Would love to paint more pieces like this!

Some of you have already spotted my name in the credits of #Daggerheart but this time, it's not map related! I'm honored to have been a consultant on this project and wrote a section that helps with developing blind/VI characters! It means a lot to have the accessibility baked into the core game.

I illustrated the Winged Sentinel (Seraph) subclass for Darrington Press's #Daggerheart!

I was humbled to work with Leesha Hannigan as my Art Director @leeshahannigan.bsky.social

And I appear in the book next to Jenny's Divine Wielder ✨🗡️ so go check hers out as well!

It's #daggerheart day! I can finally show my painting! 🥳

"Versatile Fighter"
AD Anthony Jones

I nicknamed her Poppy for obvious reasons and I love her very much 🥺❤️ It was an honour to work on this!
Painting of a lilac-skinned orc woman standing in a field of poppies at sunset. She is brandishing two scimitars and carries many more weapons besides: bow, quiver, halberd, dagger. Her stance is ready and eager and she has a challenging smile as if ready for anything. The wind blows in her wavy green hair and sends petals through the scene
