Hello hello #PortfolioDay
I’m Emory Kjelsberg, a freelance fantasy artist who illustrates for ttrpgs, card games, character portraits and more!
A humblewood wrangler monk flies through the air as she lassos a dinosaur! A large, masculine figure charges at the viewer, mud curling in a massive wave around him. He has a warthog’s head, and is bedecked in leather, red rope, and splatters of mud. Two foxes dance amongst a crowd of gala goers. The scene glows with golden light.

Here's the cover illustration I did of 'The Bloodweaver' by @cnkuster.bsky.social , for Podium Publishing!

Out June 2026!
Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira of the book 'The Bloodweaver' by C. N. Kuster, featuring a young man with eyes closed, holding a spiralling ball of blue magic in his hand. Through the light of the magic we can see the bones of his hand. He's wearing a uniform with a knife on his belt, and there is a landscape of vineyards on the background.

There can never be too many patron saints of Hating ChatGPT. If Pope Leo declares St. Remedius to be the first, I’d rejoin the Church. (Your moment of horror: 40 years ago, I almost joined the priesthood, so this offer is saying something.)

Patron Saint of Hating ChatGPT
An anthropomorphic coyote in peasant’s garb stabs a massive pencil into a shattered, sparking ChatGPT logo. The coyote is grinning, with patchwork wings splayed behind them, and their pose is reminiscent of St Michael Slaying the Devil. Behind them is a marble archway, bursting with pencils, paints, and creative implements. Same image but with a black background behind the marble arch.

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

I hate to badger you, but have you checked out Primal Encounters yet?!

This new book includes over 100 pages of encounters, objects, upgrades, and ideas - all created by 5E enthusiasts who love the game as much as you do.

Oil painting in dark colors. The painting is of a badger wearing adventure fantasy clothing, holding a spear over his shoulder. Various travel equipment hangs off the spear on his back.

After rent and bills this month I could use any help for those who can give. We’re heading into the cold weather here in Massachusetts and just got our oil tank filled ($600).

Ugh. I feel so terrible :( I’ve made maybe $1000 since this June when I got laid off. So if that puts anything into perspective for yall 🥲 I’m on food stamps now so at least that helps a little.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Faerie seer for MTG. 20x16 oil on board.

I hope I’ll get a chance to paint more faeries for MTG someday! They’re a lot of fun.

I wasn't satisfied at all about the face, so I tweaked it a bit trying to add more charmy disgust and contempt.
