A digital illustration featuring two fairy characters standing together as a flock of pale teal moths swirl around them. One character has with pale blue-green skin, dark eye makeup and long orange-red hair, in blood-red and black helm and armor resembling the carapace of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. They hold the second character, who has pale pink skin, soft features, and fluffy short pink hair, in a pink and green outfit reminiscent of a pink rose. A digital illustration of a pale-skinned, horned masculine character with flowing wavy back hair, wearing black blouse and pants. He is standing against a blue background, surrounded by swirling wind and leaves, gesturing as though he is commanding them. Two character illustrations on a flat black background. Right: the character is an early-twenties, masculine human. He has warm pale skin, light brown short hair and green eyes. He wears a deep olive green and gold blouse, brown cropped pants, and brown lace up boots. He carries a brown leather messenger bag, and a barn owl is landing on his shoulder. Left: a satyr character on a flat black background. They have light tan skin, pale ash blonde hair and fur, digitigrade furry legs and split hooves, curled horns, deer ears, and a long tufted tail. they are androgynous, wearing a cream blouse and green pleated skirt; and carrying a red hardcover book. The full-wrap book cover illustration for the novel VESSEL OF WOVEN NIGHT by Kellen Graves.

It's my birthday! As is now Bsky custom, I would love a boost of my art! I'm an artist looking for work, specializing in things fantastic, mythical, and/or historical.

Would love to fill Level 36 with TTRPG and Book Cover work from clients big and small!
A strawberry blonde woman wields a trident in both hands, she floats above a puddle of water which is rising and spiraling around her feet. The woman is dressed in pirate garb (a purple and white polka-dotted headscarf, white chemise, purple bodice and skirt, and teal overskirt/scarf.) Her hair is in a loc-like style, with golden loops segmenting them. TEXT: Pistolheart, A Western Campaign supplement for Daggerheart by Carlos Cisco A train with a big green crystal in the front is coming toward the viewer while two gunslingers, one a fungril and the other a clank, leap from their mounts (a roadrunner and a robot horse) onto the train. Bandits on top of the train fire at them with guns. A drawing of a young minotaur woman in a pink gi with sakura petal embroidery. Her eyes are closed and hands folded in meditation. A spot illustration. A Half drow woman with shoulder length white hair and lavender skin floats, surrounded by purple magical energy interspersed with dragonflies. She points a cross-bow designed with dragonfly motifs off-screen, one glowing bolt nocked and ready to fire, with two more floating at her shoulder. She wears dark half-plate underneath a tabard and vest in purple hues. A tall redheaded woman in adamantine plate armor (sans the arm harness) sits on the railing of a wooden ship, leaning forward against her great sword. Wind blows through her hair and flags tied to the ships rigging. The ship is sailing over clouds and barely visible mountains. Her rucksack sits at her feet.

Merry Christmas Bluesky 🩵
A loosely illustrated landscape. Two anthropomorphic rabbits on the side of a snowy mountain, with snow-covered rocks and fir trees. The background is grey and hazy with snow and clouds, and a vast valley beyond the rabbits. Snow is falling, and in the distant is a hazy shape of some impossible spiraling structure. Above them, there is written, “The journey will be the journey will be the journey…” which fades off and blurs into the snowy sky. Of the rabbits, one lighter and one black and tan. You can see they wear medieval-esque short capes. The lighter one is in orange and yellow, the other is in blue. On the rocks, there are carvings of rabbits and a seven point star.

This is a personal piece that remained on my hard drive for a few months until I felt ready to post it. I currently do a lot of commissions, which I love, but I also want to explore my own taste and style a bit more. It's clear that I'm a big old goth girl... or a 'Grufti', as we Germans say.

So pleased to be able to reveal this piece I did for @calltoadventure.bsky.social for their amazing actual play TTRPG, The Fourth Age.

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. The angle is low, looking up. The sky is dominated by a cloud lit by golden hour, and there are cherry blossom trees sending petals through the piece.

My first ever full-body commission!
A man with a sly smile is sitting on a throne of red coral, inlaid with circular blue gems. He is richly dressed and his right leg is resting on top of a chest bursting with treasure. He is holding a silver crown on the tip of his finger, and with his right hand he is casting a swirling ball of water. Behind him is an intricate stain glass window depicting the sea and the sky.

Class demo.

I had this idea some time ago, and finally got to illustrate it.
A bearded wizard summons a small water elemental in front of his students in awe. The elemental comes out dancing from the summoning table

It's hard to pick one, I love painting details in most of my works, but this old piece I definitely remember as the one with a lot of details in the background.

All my work is fairly detailed, but this one is probably the most. Lots of work went in to designing the characters as well as the murals and pottery and stuff

"Hunting Companions" 🦎

My finished illustration from @paulscottcanavan.com Mastering Imaginative Realism mentorship. This was an incredible experience learning from Paul alongside some of the most amazing artists I've met and I am so thrilled with how this piece came out.

In the midst of all the AI vomitodramum, here's a two page spread I made for my #ttrpg book which I'm particularly proud of. :')

Text, art and layout by yours truly; never have used, never shall use genAI.
a two page spread of OMIOS URES - my tabletop RPG. on the left, a drawing of a gnome in a wizardly outfit, holding a lit candle - the gnome is half colored, half sketched. The gnome has blue nails, pointy shoes and an art nouveau walking stick. above him is in the text "GNOMOS" in an orange, art nouveau font. to the right bottom corner is the gnome from the OP here. the text on the page reads: Athousand years ago, a flying citadel soared over the continents, peering curiously at the ancient realms below. The city was a perfect utopia, home of no evil nor ill; the motherland of all gnomes. Great knowledge was bestowed upon what cultures dotted the land, but it did not take long until the surfacers found better use for their magical gifts. Appalled by all the violence and death following their patronage, the Citadel signaled all of those still aground to return at once. But not all gnomes heeded the call – and ever since its departure, the Motherland’s whereabouts remain a mystery. Old Spirit Gnomes are tiny humanoids, always elderly in appearance because all living gnomes are well over a hundred years old. Men usually sport facial hair; mustaches or full beards; oftentimes kept as long as their own bodies. A Ward for Delirium While their utopic homeland was exempt of malady, years of exposure to the earthen realms saw countless Gnomes slowly and inevitably succumbing to a disease once thought extinct – Goblinism – mutating into pustulent, rabid and ungovernable versions of themselves. In order to prevent the “turn”, Gnomes have since developed runic headwear; warding talismans that keep the disease at bay indefinitely, as long as the hat is worn by its owner. (...) All must contain a lengthy sequence of runes within their liner, often resulting in a hat as tall as its wearer.

Full cover for your consideration 🙂‍↕️

A full wraparound book cover for Stories from the Deep, The Chronicles of Nerezia – 4 by Claudie Arseneault. The cover depicts a massive yellow-and-teal kraken locked in battle at sea with someone with water powers. Along the shoreline is a wagon, from which two people are bursting out to view the battle.

anyway, I love art. and there's fantasy artists making art tenfold as strange, dark, whimsical, heartfelt, & erotic than any large studio could dream of, who refuse to give up on their craft. they're laying out trenchers of food and fable for you on your grim pilgrimage. please find it, support it.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.

Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

It has been two years since my cat first started having bad health problems. This is a revamp of an older illustration I made as a fundraiser to get him treatment, which everyone very generously supported. Two years on we know he has IBD for sure, it is hard, but he is still going strong!

"The Great Hunt"

Happy to share my final piece for @paulscottcanavan.com mentorship! It has been an amazing journey, I learnt so much from it, and I genuinely loved the process. 🌱

#art #illustration #mtg
"The great hunt". Illustration piece I did for Paul Scott Canavan's mentorship. It represents an haunt scene, the hunter is mounting a big white tiger with piercing white eyes -sign that she's blind- which is roaring as she's sprinting through the action. The hunter has heavy clothing on, inspired by the Mongolian and Slavic clothing. He has long black hair moved by the wind, and he's holding a sword in his hand, ready to defend his wood. The environment is a snowy wood, old trees and branches all around the scene, as the white snow covers them. The sun is setting, and the overall atmosphere looks pinkish, lightened by the lights of the time of the day. Pink, yellow and blue shading on the sky, as the clouds move, forming interesting shapes.
