I listened to a lot of old YouTube interviews with some favorite illustrators this weekend. Got me thinking about sharing more things from the sketchbook and whatnot.

What's your favorite illustrator-interview podcast or channel? Always lookin' for more.

Krona, Keeper of Eons - watercolour, acryla gouache on paper with some digital touchups

For Hearthstone's latest expansion, Across the Timeways.
AD: Jim Nelson

A giant, multi-armed figure adorned in gold, skin blue and shimmering like the night sky. 3 glowing eyes surround his head, and his hands wield a golden time-magic. In the foreground we see a floating platform that holds many archways. Stars appear at each joint, he is a living constellation.

Ursula K. Le Guin

“The island of Gont, a single mountain that lifts its peak a mile above the storm-wracked Northeast Sea, is a land famous for wizards.”

This 2005 Science Fiction Book Club edition of the first three Earthsea novels has cover art by Leo & Diane Dillon.

This cover of the Earthsea Trilogy shows Tenar and Ged in a boat, with a golden dragon curling around the back of the image. Tenar, who is pale with dark hair, sits, holding closed a red cape with lavender trim. Ged, who holds a staff and wears an amulet around his neck, has somewhat darker skin and stands; light emanates from his staff. The boat has eyes painted on the prow.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported my book! I feel so lucky to be still able to make it on the NYT best-sellers list. I could not have these achievements without such a supportive community. Thank you!!!

TW: scars, burns

Moreta, a #Warcraft commission this time! 😌

Stylised bust of a young, fair-skinned woman with a soft expression. Her hair is somewhere between brown and red, loosely wavy and braided over one shoulder. She has burn scars down the right side of her face and neck and appears to be blind in that eye; the other is grey-green. Her clothing is simple, a brown vest over a white blouse. She wears a silver necklace with two pendants: a locket and a battered emblem of The Silver Hand
