A few more impressions. Spend the last 13 days hiking in the alps. It’s peace for my tired artist soul. ❤️

Gym progress photo ✨

Because it's the only thing I make progress at currently. For 6 months now already I'm going through a massive art block and it's really tough to navigate. It's affecting my ability to work. Some days I will just stare at my computer or sketchbook for hours and do nothing. 1/4

Today I got home to a mysterious package I didn’t order. Benjamin gifted me the Cruelclaw puppet he created!!!😭❤️
I‘m at a loss for words and beyond grateful for this amazing gift. ❤️❤️❤️

Stuff like this is the reason why I won’t ever give up creating.

🐿️Chittering Skullspeaker🐿️
Painted for Magic: The Gathering Alchemy - Bloomburrow
AD: Sam Padilla

Trying to catch up with a few cards I never uploaded so far.
First one is this cute demonic squirrel warlock. 🥰
Unfortunately this one ended up in Alchemy so there is no actual print version of it.

Someone sent me a photo of the card. ♥️ I wish I could see the foil effect. Probably have to wait for my contributor copies.

It’s so obvious too when you know your anatomy and clothes.
It’s pretty janky and messed up most of the time. Look at these weird bird feet and feathers. Sleeve is messed up too.

✨MAGUS SISTERS✨
Painted for the MTG x Final Fantasy Secret Lair Drop
AD: @jameelawahlgren.bsky.social ♥️

I was excited to be able to contribute to this amazing set! Painting these gals has been such a fun challenge since it's not my usual style for faces.

Card signing day with @mountainmagesigs.com ❤️

Always cool to see the japanese versions of the cards!

The thing I love most about being an artist is when other artists get inspired by my work and do their own versions of it.

Look at this amazing Cruelclaw puppet Benjamin Craig did based on my illustration for him. 😍♥️

PERFECTION!!! 😭♥️

"Ryshadium"

Painted for Cosmere RPG by @brotherwisegames.bsky.social
ADs: Johnny O'Neil / Katie Payne

I was so excited when I got approached by Johnny to paint an illustration for the Stormlight archive RPG. It's one of my favourite book of all time. 🥰

11.

I guess this unfinished portrait of my DnD character Remus. I think this was from 2020 or 2021.

Post an old #illustration you still like. ✨

I still like this market scene that I painted for the first Humblewood campaign. I spend weeks on it, because it was my first larger scale scene. ☺️

Getting shamed for painting digitally is so 2005. 🙄
By another artist of all things…

It’s so wild for some people to assume that just because an artists works digitally they don’t put their heart and soul into their work.
