Happy holidays, friends! I'm FINALLY back to work on my "Cassiel's Servant" fan cover! Here's a sneak peek after much trial & error with CSP's 3D tools.

My patrons can see the full view of this image & read about my learning journey with CSP in my Secret Sketchbook:

A cropped detail of my latest cover art WIP of a fan cover for the book "Cassiel's Servant" by Jacqueline Carey. Phedre steals the show on the back cover with her flowing dress and back tattoo, while Joscelin stans resolute in 3 layers of historically inspired garb.

I hear it's ok to ask for re-shares on your bday?😘 I'm officially old today! Have some of my fave pieces I've done over the years. Here's to exploring more of my fave subjects and experimenting with writing/comics in the next year to come!
#fantasyart #illustration #ttrpgart #dndart
Artorias, the Soul Knife Rogue. A young dark-haired, blue-eyed rogue smiles subtly while a psychic energy dagger floats above his outstretched hand. Kalim and Eidy from The Whaler Girl by Sam Hogg. A painting of a redheaded woman holding a horned skull mask as she is embraced by a masked pirate shrouded in danger and mystery. Gold gingko leaves grow around her. The image is stylized and mimics the pose of Klimt's "The Kiss". A storm brews while an intense looking man with brown skin, blue eyes, and black hair stares across the edge of a dagger blade encrusted with gems. His nomadic rags hide his status as a prince signified by this royal blade. Digitally painted. Title is "Oathbound" by Angela R. Sasser. A woman with signs of welts on her tattooed back touches the marble and gold carving of Kushiel, the Angel of Punishment, who she is divinely linked to. White doves fly through a candlelit interior accented with red roses. A fan cover inspired by Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey illustrated by Angela r. Sasser.

A woman with welts on her back ponders the nature of the archangel Kushiel whose likeness was rendered in the marble and gold leaf in a temple. A divine figure made flesh. Where his blood touches the ground, red flowers bloom. A mugh featuring the emblem of House Shahrizai, 3 gold keys. The marque of Phedre, reminesdecent of the flail and the briar rose with blood droplets hidden in hollows.

Thumbnail sketching has begun for my CASSIEL'S SERVANT fan cover! Exploring various moods from contemplative to more dramatic. It's going to be hard to pick from all these great options!

Thumbnail sketches drawn in a rough style. They explore the figure of a warrior monk guided by a distant angelic figure with a sword. He protects his charge, a woman with a tattooed back. For more sketches and thumbnails, you can read further at the artist's Patreon at www.patreon.com/angelasasser

Continuing my visual exploration of #CassielsServant by @jacquelinecarey.bsky.social with hypothetical pin designs. I enjoy the design challenge of condensing symbolic elements from the story!

More may spring forth as I read, but for now, which is your favorite thus far?

My exploration of @jacquelinecarey.bsky.social's #CassielsServant continues with concept sketches for Joscelin. He'll no doubt be making an appearance in the fan cover I'm planning so it was time to sort out his look!

I'm still torn on the design of his sword's blade. @ me your thoughts, book fans!

New public post on my blog!
I’m getting into the KUSHIEL’S DART part of my CASSIEL’S SERVANT read-through now, so it felt like a good time to revisit some of my older character sketches.

See early drawings of young Phedre, Joscelin, Hyacinthe, and more.
