Handful of digital portraits from this summer :) Sometimes when I'm painting in oils, it feels like my brain is running a totally different software than when I'm behind a tablet. I've been working on training my digital brain to think a bit more like it does when there's a brush in my hand.

Never thought I'd paint Hatsune Miku, let alone for Magic, but it was SO much fun. Referencing an anime style while making everything work in my own sensibility was a very odd, very fun challenge.

"Miku, Queen Electric" for #magicthegathering Secret Lair.

It's been way too long since I've painted a lightsaber.

Been sitting on this one for a while; stoked to finally be able to post it! Asajj Ventress for the Star Wars: Legion miniature game. She's so awful, I love her <3

Many thanks to AD Preston Stone!

Who doesn't love a good villain?? Interior I painted for Subterranean's 'Jade City' by Fonda Lee! This scene of Gont Asch in the Twice Lucky was too good a character moment not to paint it.

More on this piece and so much more over on my PATREON, patreon.com/micahepsteinart!

If seeing the process behind the art is your thing, there's a full breakdown and possibly-too-detailed writeup on how I painted this piece over on my Patreon, along with lots of other goodies.

I wrote an article! Been thinking a lot about doing art and maintaining habits in the face of Life happening and most importantly, being kind to oneself. Plus a little peek at a bunch of new art! For more like this and many more goodies, consider joining my Patreon!

770 days ago, I set out to try and finally 'git gud' at drawing. Every day since then I've spent an hour practicing and trying to push myself. It's very personal to me, and I've kept it to myself until now.

I've decided to finally open up and share my efforts over on patreon.com/micahepsteinart!

I'll be doing a FREE public drawing livestream and answering questions tonight at 8pm EST! Head on over to patreon.com/micahepsteinart for the link. I'll be doing one of these every week for Patrons from next week onward, so consider joining if you have a good time!

"Three Kings," a Wild Cards novel by Melinda Snodgrass and George RR Martin. Bit of an older piece, but still one of my favs: it's a real treat when an outside-chance "why not" type sketch ends up getting the green light, for which I have AD Peter Lutjen and author/editor George RR Martin to thank.

Quick lil' Abe, vibing with my monster-drawing roots and love of Doug Jones' work.

New work! I had the honor of painting the endpapers for the 10th anniversary leatherbound edition of 'The Bands of Mourning' by Brandon Sanderson. This one here is the closing endpaper, featuring our boy Wax.

Thanks as always to delightful AD Isaac Stewart.
