And this illustration is finished! I designed this as a book cover, and may get round to doing some typography for it at some point!

Forced to seek shelter from a storm, a fisherwoman meets an unexpected friend. What thrilling adventures await them upon the briny deep? 🐉⛵

Digital painting, partially stylised to evoke Norse interlace. A sea serpent curls upon a rock in a sea cave. A woman stands beside it, swathed in oilskins. The waves swell around them.

Hey, did you know? I went for a walk this morning.

The sun was golden but the mist clung on in the distances like cobwebs in the corner of a room. The hedgerows were smoky and full of berries, and birds eating their fill.

Hey, did you know? It’s going to be ok.

The trees told me so.

#CosyArt
A traditional inks painting of a ghost walking through an autumn forest. The composition is circular. The colours are warm, brown and orange, with hints of purple. Cobwebs fill the foreground, and beech leaves sweep overhead. The ghost is a cute sheet ghost, faintly blue.

Figuring out the render style I want for this one - the order of the day seems to be lots of juicy gradients and big fun shapes!
WIP digital painting of a sea serpent in a sea cave. The colours are sea greens and blues, with hints of foamy yellow and pops of red on the serpent itself.

Colourful digital artwork in a sketchy style. Depicts a warmly lit interior, cluttered with knick knacks. A cat sits on a counter in the centre of the frame. Outside the windows, a serpent swims through the void.

Phew, summer has been busy and I have been quiet! But I wanted to share a sneak peek of the project I'm working on 👀 #TTRPG creators, this one's for you - watch this space!
A cropped view of three iterations of a digital artwork, depicting an old wizard with a big white beard and fancy robes. The first version is a sketch; the second is in colour with blue robes and pale skin; the third is also in colour with russet robes and dark skin. The wizard has white, clouded eyes, and is summoning elemental spheres with one hand. Text in one corner reads, "sneak preview".

Alba is a big fan of literature, although his reading methods are a tad unorthodox.

I've owned Ursula K. Le Guin's 'Steering the Craft' for years, and have finally gotten around to doing some of the exercises from it! So I thought I'd share my efforts with you 🌿

Time in the Pan-Dimensional Emporium was a questionable concept. Since it sailed the void between worlds, there were no days, no months, no years, not even aeons by which to measure. Nevertheless, it wasn't too long after the new proprietor's arrival that the sky pirate appeared in the lobby.
Digital illustration in a sketchy style. A stocky woman with mid-brown skin stands with a yellow cloth held in both hands. She is wearing khaki overalls and a striped shirt, with a russet-coloured paper boy hat and practical boots. Around her hips is a heavy leather tool belt brimming with tools. Her black hair is braided into two plaits, and she has an appraising expression.

A few of the illustrations I created for Varulv, a version of the game Werewolf featuring characters from Norse mythology.

Alba still occasionally tries to chase the void fish, despite the glass separating him from them.

#art #cats #cosy
Digital illustration in a sketchy style. The colours are warm, with brown undertones. A fluffy black and white cat loafs on a locked box next to a stack of books. He is lit by two glowing orbs of yellow light. Behind him, a window opens onto a starry void. A ghostly fish peers in at him through the diamond panes.

Just finished this sketch commission for @mottokrosh.bsky.social - I love doing this kind of quirky character design!

#CharacterDesign #illustration #ttrpg #art
Digital sketch in black and white. A skeleton in spiky black plate armour stands facing the viewer. He is reading from an open book. Strapped to his back is a Catharine wheel with two hooded figures tied to it, framing his head. Digital sketch in black and white. A broad man stands with his hand on the hilt of a longsword at his hip. He wears a fur-trimmed Tudor-style gown over a dark breastplate and vambraces. Two jewelled chains hang around his neck. His head has been replaced with a planet, which floats above his shoulders. Digital sketch in black and white. A woman with a middling skin tone and a cloud of lustrous hair poses with her hands above her head. She wears an impractical pulp sci-fi space suit with a bubble helmet and knee-high boots. She has a ray gun on her hip, and is wielding a thin lasso. Her top reads 'Supa Cola'. Digital sketch in black and white. A black woman walks towards the viewer, carrying a flail made out of an ornate crown. She wears a ballgown whose skirts are torn off at the knee, revealing throwing knives strapped to her legs. Her left arm has been amputated at the elbow, and a further throwing knife is strapped to it. Her hair is done up in braids and coiled atop her head. She looks determined and warlike, and we are looking up at her as she strides towards us.
