Incredibly saddened to learn about the passing of one of my all-time favorite singers. "You can get it if you really want" is and will be my go-to cheer-me-up song. Rip Jimmy

Hey Titus ❤️ we were mutuals on the Social-that-changed-name! I'm the person that makes tiny houses for a living!

I like living in Italy because you can casually stroll around and find 1850 years of layers of walls stacked on each other, narrating the place's history with their texture, their materials...

Trying gouaches + ink brush for the first time - fun! Totally different from watercolors, still lots to learn - oh my.

AND FOOD.

...downtrodden version of the Daleland settlement.
The whole piece took one week, it's ink and watercolors on acid free cotton paper. It was a really fun challenge to work traditionally again! This is the original map, for reference.

As Forgotten Realms - Adventures in Faerûn became publicly available, I wanted to share with you another one of the piece I made for that wonderful volume!

Yes. I like this art. 💗🤌🏽

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

A quick watercolor sketch study of Strahd (approx 30 minutes) based on the great Maed Schaeffer (soooo far from his greatness ffs) artworks, mainly focused to de-poop my lacking knowledge of anatomy.

Somehow Bluesky absolutely DESTROYED the quality of the image. Let's try again?

Polygon featured the Myth Drannor map I painted in their article!
My first full traditional map and surely one the most challenging one I've ever did. Lots of research and trust were involved in the creation of this piece, thanks to my AD Emi Tanji for trusting me!

You know, I'm kinda digging the habit of turning unused scraps of paper and leftover paint into tiny paintings to relax without any other purpose. 🤌🏽

I had an overabundance of browns and reds in my "soon to be cleaned" palettes so... It's autumn time painting 🍂 is it good? Maybe not, but at least I turned potential waste into something I liked making, which is a thing AI users cannot say.

I took the habit to make small paintings between one map and the next, acting as "palette cleaners", to avoid throwing away good pigment. I'm kinda liking that one, tbh!

Both the painting and its study were bought by collectors! The large painting went for charity at Lucca Comics and Games and raised an AMAZING sum, I'm baffled! 👁️👁️
