Did I miss #Portfolioday? Of course not, it's just time zones 😅 or something like that

So here I am - a fantasy illustrator (and baby concept artist) based in Germany with a passion for folklore and magic and stories, mostly working on board games and books

This Lucien, Cree and Jester (owl!) piece still remains my favorite Critical Role piece I ever painted 🪶

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #LynArt
A painterly illustration of A scene from Critical Role, Campaign 2. It shows Jester in owl form flying above Cree and Lucien as she steals a threshold crest from them.

And the final one of the 9 illustrations I did for the book :)

It was a fun challenge to put them next to each other and make sure there's some nice visual variety across them

My other land for Magic: The Gathering's Edge of Eternities set - a swamp. In space! ✨

A digital painting of a "Swamp" in space. This one's about stars gone nova drifting towards oblivion like a bunch of waterlilies of explosive death.

Finished another sketch on the back of an artist proof - Vannifar! Acrylics + fineliners. 🎨
A photo of a Magic card sized painting of Vannifar - she's an elven mage who's magicked herself into a part jellyfish. Here she is holding her staff and floating in front of a starry background. Same painting, but tilted to show the effect paints - the gold trim on her costume is painted with gold, and all the jellyfishy parts are iridescent. I painted her facial tattoos with green interference paint, too, but they're so very tiny it's very hard to see them here.

A (very overdued) artwork I've made during @abigbat.bsky.social's mentorship course!
He's such a stellar teacher and I learned so much after 8 weeks of study!

#art | #fantasy
Painting of a female warrior with horns and lizard tail launching a spear, next to her is a friendly crocodile creature with its mouth open. They are both half-submerged in water.

It's been a while since I did personal art, and I made a new character! 🦋 Meet Vera, the unconventional lawyer witch responsible for risk mitigation in the Coven.

#art #witchoc #characterart
A drawing of a fantasy butterfly fey girl, she has pale blue skin, and is wearing a patchwork short dress that's yellow, cyan and red. She's also wearing mismatched socks and poofy sleeves with a little decorative poncho. She has a third eye and wears glasses, and there's a third glasses lens for the third eye. Her hair is done in long pigtail that are pinned back up into loops. She has antennae and butterfly wings, both of cyan/dark blue color.

Character art of a woman with long wavy red hair. Her outfit is entirely black and red that matches her hair, with thigh-high leather boots and bishop sleeves. Black feathers with red tips sit on her shoulders like pauldrons. She's holding a long ornate sword with a red rim.

Can you help me share this?

I would like to announce my first own artbook - part of the Artbox Series by @spiridude.com caurette editions
The cover features a reworked piece from 2018, one that we felt was perfect for this. And still… something about it didn’t feel like me anymore.
A dreamy, pastel-hued illustration of a long-haired woman tenderly holding a young child in her lap. They sit by a calm pink-hued body of water, surrounded by lush tropical plants and glowing flowers. Soft butterflies float through the air as the warm light of a full moon glows behind them, casting a magical and serene atmosphere.

Yōkai
Playing around the yōkai concept mixing two of my general inspiration: Yuki-onna and Hari Onago (or Hari Onna), which are the Snow Woman and the woman with the long hair.
