Still looking for a nice advent calendar?
World of Dice has multiple dice calendar this year. ☺️

And I was the one to paint the illustration for it. ❤️

worldofdice.de/products/dic...
Photo of an advent calendar. The calendar shows a snowy nightscene of a winter market with warmly illuminated booths for dice, potions, weapons and sweets. Four dragon adventurers are standing in the foreground. From left to right: A purple dragon in dark purple wizard robes putting a potion into a bag; a red dragon in golden armour holding a meat skewer and a package; a blue dragon in dark clothing, hiding under a cloak and playing with dice; a green dragon with leaf like scales, wearing a leaf cloak looking at a pair of snow owls. On their shoulder sits another little snow owl looking annoyed at the blue dragon while eating a meat skewer.

On their shoulder sits another little snow owl looking annoyed at the blue dragon while eating a meat skewer. The motive is here two times. Upper Version was the final version with more of the picture to go around the calendar product. The Version below shows it how it looks on the front of the calendar

Dragon's Reach - from 'Secrets Of Strangehollow' that I made back in 2021. I do love painting a misty scene! #atmosphere #atmosphericpainting #magicalhouse #cliffsontheocean #blacksand
Hundreds of miles up the west coast, north of the singing pools, surrounded by the black cliffs of Narok, you will find Dragon's Reach. This ancient dwelling, hewn from glistening black rock and a little sorcery, is the home of wise old Grizel, the sea witch. Stories about Grizel have been passed on for centuries, telling of her life-saving potions, affinity with wild beasts, kindness and wicked sense of humour. Dragon's Reach rises from the black sands and jagged dark rocks beneath it, a precarious winding stone staircase being the only way in or out which can only be scaled at low tide. Grizel spends most days foraging for precious ingredients for her famous concoctions. She wears tattered layers of once lustrous embroidered fabrics, a sturdy basket on her back to carry all that she finds and a thick leather belt that has various tools dangling from it, fastened with leather thongs and makeshift knots. On one hip she carries the hollowed-out tooth of a great beast from the deep, which she uses as a horn to call sea creatures to shore to commune with them. Once a year she travels many miles inland, riding on the back of a wild gorok, with baskets on the saddle and glass bottles dangling from its horns. She seeks magical herbs and berries which cannot be found on the coast. As she travels through small settlements on the outskirts of Strangehollow, she trades with hunters and other wizards and witches, sourcing rare and potent artefacts, animal bones and other ingredients.

A peaceful scene of a swamp, with greens, blues and purples, a tree in the foreground and the head of a huge dragon visible resting in the water. A white heron takes off next to the dragon and it's eye is open.

Portrait of a celestial gryphon. Her feathers are soft cream, with magical blue highlights and sparkling stars beneath the wings. The bird's moon-like eyes are speckled with stars and she looks confident and warm. Behind her is a crescent moon and a dark sky full of stars. An anthropomorphic pigeon in elegant rococo clothes including a white wig, sitting down one hand dramatically resting against their forehead. 90s style digital drawing mimicking soft pastels. The 'apapane bird is happily showing off its skateboarding skills while wearing a rad yellow baseball cap, turned backwards of course. The ghost bunny is holding a pink old school boombox, giving thumbs up. The bunny is wearing a teal baseball cap (also backwards) and neon pink sunglasses. Blue parrots in various poses. Their eyes are glazed-over and greyish and they have bright pink stripes on their dark beaks. The Poetess poses with her blue prophet, wearing blue, white and gold robes and a golden fishbone hair clip. There is a human heart tattoo on her forearm.

I have greatly underestimated the cold that I got last week. 😩 It's all marshmallow root teas and doing very little because I get fatigued so fast. Happy winter :( ❄️
