more details! fun to mix solid tile colour with textures and internal lightning effects, as if the mosaic itself is a glowing world. Kept them irregular and imperfect because i wanted them to look like a handcrafted old byzantine style mosaic

tiny tiles tiny tiles
satisfying to paint them all, but it does take a while. I wanted this to look glowing, like the lightning serpent was alive inside it

mosiacs! drawing many tiny tiny tiles. It's fun to make art that looks like it could be an ancient magical artefact!

still very happy with this cover art i drew for @hatchlingdm.itch.io, maker of beautiful #ttrpgs

I've updated the shop a bit, and added CACODAEMON in case anyone has always wanted a demonic Greek myth figure on the wall, obscured in dizzying mists and here to give you the evil eye and a bad time! :-D this is a really weird one and i loved making it.

oil pastel + digital colour

I really liked the fun posters for 'Yaniv' and 'Honey Don't', although I've not managed to watch either yet!

Been working on more black and white things of late; it's a fun challenge to focus only on shape and texture, and I'd love to do more interior pieces for books/games. I have some more spaceships in upcoming #ttrpgs, and will be making a fantasy artpack too. Stay tuned to my newsletter/itch :-)

This is an alternate cover for CRYO DRAKUS, a gradius/R-type inspired #ttrpg by SpicyTuna games, check it out!

VIDEOGAAAAAAMES!
Here's some painted pixel style pieces I did, all about videogames! (which I love, and should draw more of). Inspired by iso games, pixel art, vintage formats and some fave games and consoles.
