Playing Clair Obscur, a bold, wonderful, unique, weird, risky rpg and thinking : "oh yeah, that's what Final Fantasy games could be if they stopped being ashamed of themselves, desperately trying to appeal to people who never liked Final Fantasy". Maybe people at Square Enix should take notes?

Portrait sketch of a middle-aged man, 3/4 view. He has a mustache, a beard, and curly hair. He looks severe.

The Great Auricula is the head of the Melodist church. It is said that his long ears are holy, and allow him, and him alone, to hear the Word of the Oracle echoing through time...For Oberant.

Character design of an old man in luxurious, white and gold robes, resembling the Pope. He has long ears like an elf, and a staff. He smiles serenly.

Please spead the word if you feel the same way 😅
Private commissioners I love you, but please understand the work that goes into creating an artwork. If you have less than a 100 $ to spend on art (which is already fantastic and I'm grateful for your support!), don't expect anything more than a sketch. If you want a fully rendered illustration, with characters, background, lighting and everything, this takes several days of work, and will consequently cost several hundreds of $ for the pay to be considered decent. I'm a bit tired of being ghosted after several exchanges by clients who realize that yes, the full art they want will cost more than 50 bucks. Please adjust your expectations to what you're comfortable with paying.

Sketch of a young Selumaran for Oberant. Decided to get serious about this personal project of mine. After letting it simmer in a corner of my mind for a while, I finally feel ready to get back into it, and I started working on a book! Which will probably take years, ha!

Another sketch. Drawing portraits from imagination is tough, but it's also one of my favorite things to do. It's my go-to subject whenever I doodle ☺️. What's yours?

Here's a twist on the Snow White trope I drew a looong time ago...(before I realized how problematic that trope was 😅)

Final Fantasy X is the greatest game ever made, no I won't have a debate. The impact this masterpiece has had on me as a person an as an artist cannot be put into words. Here's a tribute I painted 4 years ago for the game's anniversary.
