A more modern #dnd commission this time, Felicity :D
Painterly bust portrait of a pale woman in her thirties, arms crossed and expression fierce as she looks to the viewer. She has blue-black hair cut in a shoulder-length bob. She wears a leather jacket over a tank top and has deep red lipstick. The scene is dark, lit by a cool overhead light with a fainter orange glow off in the background.

A (unfinished) painting of two hands on a black background. The skin is incredibly fair and covered in Lichtenberg figure scars, in them hidden two medical scars (one for each arm). A study of my changeling wizard, named Galen.

On this Halloween, a reminder that a sculptor included a Xenomorph gargoyle during the 1990s restoration of Paisley Abbey

From @jespermyrfors.bsky.social, The Dark set art director over on Facebook:

“The Magic: The Gathering release The Dark was 100% a commentary on the evils and hypocrisy of bigoted right wing Christians…”

Some cards for context and the set list:
scryfall.com/sets/drk
FOR THE RECORD: There have been rumors. Now I will clear it up and be as unambiguous as possible. The Magic: The Gathering release The Dark was 100% a commentary on the evils and hypocrisy of bigoted right wing Christians. Having gone through the idiotic satanic panic of the 80s and then listening to their moronic and unfounded pearl clutching arguments that MTG promoted "devil worship", I had had enough and decided to hold a mirror up to them. That is why White is represented as dangerous, dogmatic and unempathetic in the set. White in The Dark glorifies ignorance, mob mentality and violence against those who are different. The truth is that people who view themselves as virtuous and righteous can be as deadly and dangerous as any blood sacrificing devil cult when they forget the message of love that is supposed to be the foundation of their belief system. We can see that replaying today with MAGA. I also wanted to paint spooky stuff. Two birds, one stone. Now you know. If you go back and look at the white cards in The Dark it will become crystal clear what the meaning of the set is. The Dark was a reference to the dark ages, when the church had full control of the population, when wise women and folk healers were burned as witches, education was only for the very elite and anyone who spoke up or strayed from the herd was killed in horrific ways. Even today people are trying to bring those dark days back. I was shining a light on them with this set. That is one of the important roles art plays in society and I view games as an artform. Happy Halloween! The Magic the gathering card preacher The magic the gathering card, angry mob The magic the gathering card inquisition
