New year, new Lorwyn, new art!

Harmonized Crescendo for Lorwyn Eclipsed! I was super excited to visit this iconic plane!

This was something of an experimental piece for me. Gouache, acrylics, and oils on illustration board.

There are two illustrations in this one image. Top illustration: a coronation parade showing the princess in the center and her mom on the right and her dad on the left. The princess is wearing a large and detailed dress. Behind the front 3 characters there are guards. And behind them is a large temple. On the side of the image there are houses and beneath them, crowds of people. The bottom illustration: A wounded female warrior with white hair is getting healed by angels with white wings. She is being held by a priest in the water and a male angel warrior with black hair, tied in a knot, is close by. The angels are using their orange fiery-like magic to heal the character. In the water there are lilies on lily pads. Poster of the artist Rhodon Cerise (wearing a long white dress) , chilling with a muted yellow moon that has a face. They seem to be floating in the skies with a starry background. The text at the top displays in roman numbers 18 and is adorned with strawberries. The text at the bottom has the same decorations but with the text The Moon. At the top in both corners is a lunar moth, mirrored with a white flower. The decorations at the bottom are also mirrored: a white flower with strawberries and a golden star. A dragon elf lady mage who's holding a golden star. The background is a dark starry sky with a moon. Just behind her are abstract sea waves with gold. The character is wearing a dark blue dress and has white hair. Chen-Xing wielding her fire powers with a purple dragon in the background. She is standing fiercely with her armor. Her dark purple hair is waving in the wind and she is standing in a temple, high up in the skies.

Heavily inspired by Morrowind, Planescape and 70's Star Wars with a dash of bronze age and art nouveau. The mood? Conan after Conan: all the heroes are dead and this is the world they built.

That's OMIOS URES, my weird fantasy RPG. And it's FREE on itch.io!

matheusgraef.itch.io/omios-ures
A black robed wizard, embroided with stars, stands on top of a stone peak. Behind him, the vastness of the world. The early morning creeps amidst the ravines, painting the world in coy lilacs and deep purples. A city of horned spires jolts from the stony wastes, illuminated in bright cosmopolitan oranges. An alien zeppelin flares out its floodlights at the rooftops and beyond. The wizard stares at the viewer, though we do not see within his cloak and hood. Blackness. From the void creeps out two marble-white hands, old as time, covered in rings, gesturing in unknown signs. OMIOS URES Two Carverine (orc-like humanoids), a male and a female, ride alongside eachother, on top of war hippos. They hold each other's arms. With the other hand, the female orc displays a freshly decapitated head - the enemy king. While the male lifts his axe up in prideful show. Both orcs have red hair and pinkish-gray skin, similar to the hippos they ride upon. The carverine have long, elephant like tusks, and wear minimal bronze armor.

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. A giant cyclops. Slender, female. Her armor is golden bronze, made of large plates with shield-sized domes protusions, which help veer off attacks. She wears a golden diadem, golden earrings, and her single eye is bright blue. Her armor shines from the warm light that trickles into the large chamber, pouring in from an off-scene oculus. Her face partially in the dark, tall that she is, only illuminated partially by the bounce lighting of her armor. Her right arm adjusts her belt, while her left arm is lifted, underneath it; we see a shirtless servant on top of a tall staircase, tying the laces of her bracer. The staircase is built of beige stone. The bracer is almost the size of this person. By the cyclops' feet, we see two other servants donning her greaves. One of them holds the giant slab of bronze in place, while the other, behind the cyclops' calf, ties up the laces. The floor is a white marble tile, giving the entire scene a slight reflection. Did you know a single greave of this Cyclops weighs around 150 kilos? Behind the Princes Warrior, we see a 2 story tall greataxe. It is brightly illuminated by the single shaft of light that brightens the entire room. In fact, the entire scene is illuminated either by the natural light, or the bounce lighting of the cyclops' armor, giving the entire painting a warm look. The chamber is large and tall, made of stone, to accomodate the Princess Warrior. A small brazier burns incense, permeating the room with a pleasant odor of cloves. Behind the Cyclops and her servants, three noble folk overlook her befitting from a balcony. The balcony sits at the height of the Cyclops' head. One woman smokes, the man in the middle lifts a goblet with a grin, and the leftmost woman looks simply bored. There's a glass pitcher hewn with gold half-filled with wine next to them.

The background is a tangle of snakes and elfroot.

Cover illustration for "Out of True" by Rien Gray. Two hands are holding onto a disintegrating sword, a dark forest in the background. 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. A digital illustration of two young women in a forest, kneeling before the wood carving of a female figure with bird wings. They've brought various offerings, apples, flowers, a doll made of wheat stalks, candles. A digital illustration of a feline beast prowling in a dark jungle. The beast's fur looks like moss and bark, and it has leaves and mushrooms growing on top of it. Its purple eyes glow in the darkness. Painted for Luminous Games.
