More SoIaF calender art! This time ALL the horses. I really enjoy painting horses but this one was a challenge with so many. Oberyn arriving with his cohort. I managed to sneak the Hogg family banner in there as it's legit a family he travelled with :D

Here's some of the WIP/sketches and a size comparison!

Another calendar piece! One of those pieces that when I did the digital sketch, I forgot I couldn't copy & paste in oils. Dany in one of her most iconic moments, taking control of the Unsullied.

Well this was a siren song I couldn't resist late at night when i should really be sleeping. Cara is all about sexy things in red, and she seems to be my fashion muse.

I've never shared all of the images from the official SoIaF calendar I did for 2020, choosing scenes that inspired me from across the series. These are all 2ft square oil paintings, and remain some of the most intense, accomplished work of my career. Up first is Ned and Cat under the heart tree.

Why is it I can crop this picture of my cat and his body is equidistant from the edges of the rectangular image border. This is not how to cat, sir. Your head should not be in the centre of your body, dangit.

Omg if ever there was a colour posting trend I've been waiting for with my Pantone series, this is it!

I've been meaning to paint a personal piece featuring a horse for a while now! What is artistic terror for some is one of my favourite subject matters. Blend in sunflowers and fairytale dresses and I'm very happy :)

Figured it'd be fun to throw a bit of a different character in the mix this time. Would love to see your take on Dahlia :)

Having a bit of sketch fun, seeing how far I can take a piece in 3-4 hours on an evening. An older story of mine I've been rebooting here and there into a 70s style action flick. Man, if I had the time and patience to do a graphic novel, this would be the story for it. #art

Am doing a bit of a personal rebrand for my own site, and needed some new thank you cards doing, and Moo Printing did an amazing job with these foiled postcards!

Over the past couple of weeks, I've made it a mission to learn the basics of blender, using stylised diorama tutorials. Started with the pink and green room and moved to blue and yellow. Then to prove I'd taken it all in, an art studio of my own, figuring out new stuff as I went!

Lots in this post I can relate to, though my circumstances are very different. I too did my own version of what my own body felt like to me once the circus had moved on, where you settled on creepy clowns, I settled on peeved looking demons. Glad you found a way to express yourself.

Bluesky's open, quote one art to promote yourself

To say I am *ecstatic* about having my art associated with the Farseer Trilogy is an understatement. @robinhobb.bsky.social
is my favourite author and a chance to bring part of her worlds to life with my art was an absolute honor. Thanks to @illumicrate.bsky.social for giving me the chance!

Feels like forever since I got to do something for myself. An ode to the amazing @geraldbrom.bsky.social whose work inspired me to travel this path many moons ago. I can't believe it's take me this long to do this. Pose is ref'ed from the "Allegory of Medical Science' by Robert Auer.
