Hi! Here’s a little peek at one of the illustrations I’m developing for Big Empty Blue. Rarely do I share backgrounds, as I'm not often tasked to do some, but I really wanted to show this one. I designed it using free photos from Pexels and overpainting them

Today I'm showing you the concept art of the goblin Phyre
Sometimes you don't score the design on the first try. Sometimes you don't even do it on the second or the third. Phyre was a design that took 4+ iteration to finish and to make the client 100% happy

This is a sketch I made for two clients who wanted me to design their two changeling characters. Today I'm showing you the concept art of the changelings' original looks. So, meet Phyre (on the left) and Saph (on the right)!

I painted an illustration for a private client, showing their character Nadine taming a sea monster called corendren
This was a very fun (and challenging!) piece and I hope you like it! Below I'll also post some progress for anyone interested

Human cleric sketch for a client, in two colour versions. The first one was my rough idea, and the second was picked by the client. I'm still not sure which one I like the most, so I'm posting both!

Because every Dungeons and Dragons needs Dragons, I made some dragons. This is a very early concept art, I'm still brainstorming their design. They are called the Starsea Dragons, as they swim through the skies. This one is Merkur Hammerhead (they are all named after planets)

I'm so excited about potentially drawing all those feathers!

Hello! Today I bring you a portrait I painted for myself. This is Magister Virgil, a character from my setting (Io). Virgil is a river troll and an Imperial Senator. And now, he'll be my profile picture for some time :3

I'm closing my personal commission waiting list tomorrow. I managed to score a 2-month long gig in gamedev (YAY!) and I won't be able to process comms at the same rate as before. I'll keep commercial commissions open (for TTRPG & books), but that's all :<

This is the first time ever that someone has ordered a fanart from me. This is Luna, aka Vanitas of the Blue Moon. This character originally comes from manga Jun Mochizuki's The Case Study of Vanitas. The client wanted me to re-interpret the character a little. Hope you like them!

Following a very large piece with some small portraits! Here's a set consisting of artfight pieces (yes, artfight pieces in August, I am that backlogged), one commission (bottom right) and one character for the campaign I'm running (bottom left)!

Here's something fun (I hope!). This is a large illustration of a character I've recently been commissioned to paint! She's everything I love - large, cosmic horror-y and SHE'S A BUG!

This is a picture of Aegis, character based on a Greek hoplite. I took inspirations from classical paintings, and even if I am not on that level, I wanted to at least try
Making this picture made me melancholic. This time of year, it doesn't do me any good

Omg, @babpuff.bsky.social did some amazing Pookas as buddies for my previous one. They are INCREDIBLE, wow! I love them all, especially the one with pink-yellow mandibles. Fantastic character art going on here, I can't 🕷️🧡
Oh pooka creator @spikulec.bsky.social I’ve three offerings with different ideas for Master
Maybe energetic peacock jumping spider companion?
Not your flavor?
Have a T.Seladonia she’s a dwarf spider but oh the wine cooler aunt energy at all.
Maybe a spar buddy? Baboon Tarantula, temperamental.
