Monet's water lily garden inspires me every time I look at the photos I took in Giverny. I love the moody palette of this painting, royal blues mixed with lavish purple and spots of mauve.

Monet's water lily garden continues to inspire me every time I look at the photos I took in Giverny. I love the moody color palette of this painting, with royal blues mixed with lavish purple and spots of mauve. Thick brush strokes of oil paint capture the waving reflections in the still water.

Hi! I'm Virginie, an illustrator currently working in the video game industry. I like to paint creatures and work on my visual novel in my free time.
A snake-like dragon with purple scales and long fins on its back, floating in clouds lit by the golden light of the sun. A scene of celebration with multiple character doing a party in a room. From left to right, there is an humanoid axotolt with a music instrument, a crow/bat humanoid watching the scene, a dwarf and an orc eating/drinking on a sofa, a snake humanoid watching in the back of the room, a dragonkin bringing a bow of chips, a female dwarf taking photos with her phone and a dog laying on his back close to her. A screenshot of a visual novel with two young adults facing each other, one visibly surprised. They both wear clothings from the 1920-1930. Behind them is a background of an artist room filled with materials and walls painted in green. In front of them is a black dialogue box. A medieval warrior riding a bear standing on rocks, watching an island made of ice in the distance. They are separated by an ocean. Above them is a huge, menacing storm, with a hole in the middle letting light pass and reach the island.

Painted for Magic: The Gathering - Aetherdrift
AD: Deborah Garcia

I'm so excited that I got the chance to paint my take on one of my favourite Magic horses. 🐎♥️
A majestic horse with a crown like garment on its head and a saddle running in the desert with the sun setting behind it. Its followed by three other horses. The stirred up sandshimmers in the sun. There is a pyramid like structure and a river in the background.
