It's a fact of life for illustrators that we're less likely to get hired for high profile books by successful authors, because all those need on the cover is their name in a big font.

When I started sketching a tribute poster for "Frankenstein" I abandoned my original idea for a different approach, but I could not let it go. So, as a catharsis of sorts, here is my second tributer poster for @realgdt.bsky.social film, inspired by Dalí's iconic painting. #Frankenstein #posterdesign

Holy shit. Check out the new A Feast For Crows illustrated edition. Way to kill your career in the most high-profile way possible. And I'm talking about EVERYBODY involved, except GRRM, who I have to assume wasn't.

Happy birthday to @fondalee.bsky.social's "Jade City," B1 in The Green Bone Saga! I went nuts painting a huge montage of characters and moments from the series, for @orbitbooks.bsky.social's box set.
Now, for 7 days only, oversized prints of the art are available here: www.tommyarnoldart.com/prints

This is the biggest full circle connection in my career.
Over two years ago a designer with Random House (thank you Nicole Block!!) working on a Dungeons&Dragons and Stranger Things tie-in contacted me about the old D&D art she had see me share online from my youth...

Xenovember day 4! This was my first Aliens cover, reuniting me with my Defiance Colorist, Dan Jackson. This one’s special for me because not only was it a return to Alien, but it would later be used as booth and lanyard #art at SDCC to represent the brand.

A bellated halloween post!
This is a piece I made earlier this year, inspired by my appreciation for horror movies. As this genre is heavily outside my comfortzone it took some time to study the subject matter, but I am happy how this relatively small illustration turned out!

My piece, 'Lonely Spire' got awarded at the @britfantasysoc.bsky.social awards :-)
Honoured to place alongside such great pieces! This was inspired by those beautiful engraved inner artworks in vintage novels. Wanted to challenge myself, would love to illustrate something like that someday!

Day two for the Xenovember posts! Can't post much new because I'm still on the last issue of Event Horizon, but here's an unpublished piece with colours by @simongough2099.bsky.social. We did a run of these for @darkhorse.com a couple of years ago that was meant to tie into a video game at the time
