Here's a piece I painted several years ago. The 90s Aladdin was one of my absolute favorite films as a kid.

My last painting of 2024. I actually recorded a full painting process tutorial series for this one, so if you're interested in that sort of thing, episode 1 just dropped today. New episodes will release every Thursday.

Some work for several years ago. One of my favorite color palettes to work in, though I don't use it too often. Blues and purples make me happy.

Plotting his revenge against the man who ruined his face. Painted this one a while ago. Depicted is a man I love to hate from @emswifthook.bsky.social brilliant #historicalfiction series Lord's Legacy.

Thanks for the artshare! Here's some of my work. In more recent years I've been studying the Dutch masters and trying to bring more of that feeling into my digital works, as seen in the Charles I portrait.

Sir Philip Lord, a 17th century knight from one of my favorite book series. Had to paint him.

Congrats on 1.2k!
Here's a piece I painted earlier this year. Probably most proud of this one, as I've been studying the Dutch masters for a few years now.

Some creature design I did a while ago. This started out as a sketch in my sketchbook while I was watching TV one night. I really liked the silhouette, so I decided to keep going with it to a finished render.

Painted this after reading the Lymond Chronicles. The lute is such a gorgeous instrument. Some day I'll own one.

I had the idea for this piece while I was writing one of my books. The creature in the book is different, but the energy mane on a lion was something I thought would look so cool.

Sometimes it's fun to just do a bit of sketching and basic rendering, rather than going all in with full detailed work.

Another one from the vault today. I painted this a few years back. Batman was a huge inspiration on me as an artist growing up, so I tend to revisit the character now and then. Who was your favorite character to draw? I'd love to see your work. Share in the comments. #batman #artwork

I often use my paintings to tell the stories in my head I know I won't have time to fully flesh out into novels. This piece features a character and setting I could see making for a great story. I don't often do work in this style, but I had a lot of fun with this one. #digitalart #painting #artwork

Thanks! That's a shame you can't get prisma singles locally. Due to the demands of client work, I haven't worked traditionally in quite some time, beyond sketches, but here's something in graphite and white charcoal I did four or five years ago.

Some of my more recent work, studying the Dutch masters. This piece is heavily inspired by the works of Philip Wouverman and the writings of the brilliant @emswifthook.bsky.social. Titled, The Battle of Edgehill.
