Imagine the sound of floorboards lightly creaking under your step as you move swiftly from one bookcase to another!

🗡️ Dance of Deception 🩸

New portfolio piece! This one took over a year to finish between making three whole books and other work, but I'm glad I didn't rush it.
A dancing couple framed by red flowing fabric in blue and red light dressed in a formal way with hinted dancers all around them. The woman holds a claw over the man's head while the man holds a stake to her back.

This is a very Ps coded hack, but play with *levels* sliders on any layer mode!
It can help pull the image together in unexpected ways

Box art for Critical Role's Mighty Nein CLUE(DO). The Mighty Nein walk down a dark alley, surrounded by mysterious shadows. Nott and Jester sit at the front, looking at the viewer while investigating some sort of mystery. I experimented with Blender and using 3D for the initial composition for this piece. It depicts a "new born" Keeper, a tall creature made of wood, coming out of their birthing pit. It has multiple heads and a wheel-like piece on it's back, that it's still ticking to the pit green slimy contents. Helping it coming out are two Kynda, these are smaller, woodland creatures. The one in front has leafy hair and flowing clothing. battle scene featuring the cast and characters from Friday Nights, fighting off a giant slimy version of the Simic Slaw A fantasy-themed promotional image for the Kickstarter campaign "Fen's Guide to Myriad Realms". The cover is featuring the traveler Fen, in a dark blue cloak holding a staff, surrounded by their swirling magical flame companion "Flicker". The background is a vivid, fantastical landscape with swirling skies, gnarled trees, a mysterious castle and glowing light.

Will of the Winds, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A weird ship is riding the curving horizon over a small village in a surreal, undular and windy sci-fi landscape. Huge clouds form majestic shapes in the background. There's an orange cat with a hat floating in the air. Spiraling into Serenity, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A swirling magical realism landscape with spiraling blue beams and a ship appearing in the background, looking like it's teleporting using some form of spiral energy. A little house is nestled comfortably between spiraling trees, and a few swans are swimming in a nearby pond. Night on the Highway, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A moonlit night scene on a bizarrely large highway with thousands of car lights going both directions. There's a hovering cat with a hat next to one of the cars. The Blue Hour, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A blue and purple dream-like scene with an overgrown church sitting in a cloudy landscape. Wind turbines can be seen in the distance and there's a chimney pumping rain clouds out. A cat with a hat and a vest is lazily hovering around the scene.

Digital artwork. It is a wedding scene, the bride and the groom are both dressed in white and gold, they are surrounded by knights in armor holding their swords above the couple to form an arch. There is a flower arch behind them and flower petals are flying in the air. Digital artwork, fanart of a game "The Talos Principle 2". A robot of red and white colors named Byron is suffering from some kind of malfunction while touching a computer panel. He is on his knees, not able to free his hand. In the distance another robot named 1K is rushing to help, but he is too late. They seem to be inside of a huge artificial structure, but the floor is filled with water, Byron and the computer panel are located on an island of rocks with some pine trees and plants. Digital illustration. It's autumn, the day is gray, the leaves on trees and on the ground are golden yellow. A young woman sits under the tree at the edge of a forest and casts a spell - glowing golden magic around her, it's an illusion of a lot of things and characters, she seems to tell a story. Near her is a black horse that looks at the magic in awe. A cat sneaks behind the tree and looks at them too. Far in the background is a small town with colorful houses and some colorful fields near it, some light shines through clouds and lightens the town. Digital artwork, fanart of the game "Baldur's Gate 3". Illustration of two mind flayers walking and holding tentacles instead of holding hands. The mood is calm and romantic.

A digital illustration of a character and her skeletal mount, half-heron, half-fox. The character, a priestess of the Guild of Mists, is in the middle of the sacred, pre-hunt rites. She's holding a holy amulet and a smoking censer. They're both in a misty marsh, the skeletal remains of past hunts at their feet.
