An illustration for rowan wilders fakari island series, book 3 Under Her Wing. A man and woman stand upon a grassy cliff edge. Sea and distant rocks are visible in the background, the light is a sunset golden haze. She wears a baggy green shirt that blows around him. He wears a torn white sweater. They hold each other , her eyes are closed with a melancholy expression, he looks troubled . A cowboy looking figure and a white robot walk across a dusty red planet. Sci fi buildings and a spaceship are bvisible in the background. Cover illustration for Blanchland blues An illustration for an albumb cover. A woman stands on a cliff surrounded by mist and smoke. She wears a sci fi suit with blue glowing elements. Behind her a cliff with lava running down fades off into the distance A woman stands atop a hill at sunset.She is holding a branch of a tree with red leaves and one gold leaf where her hand touches. Her other hand touches the shoulder of a crouched man. He looks is dressed like a cowboy, his clothes are worn and tattered, with a prosthetic limb visible on his knee . He holds a red gem in one hand and aknife in the other. Behind is a water pump and farmland. Book cover illustration for de e howell magician's touch.

We're working on Nothing's Ever Really Dead, a point-and-click adventure game where you and the ghost of your best friend solve the murder of your best friend. It's a cyberpunk comedy!

Rex (a humanoid crocodile) stands in the street near a cordoned off apartment building where a short cop is standing guard. A bad boy cat is having a smoke break next to a nearby alley, which is lit up in red.

today is my 28th birthday! as we all know, sharing artists’ work makes them very happy.

thank you for all your continuing support and newfound friendships this year, it means the world to me.
one very green painting of my OC, mysterious skeleton girl, posing down on her knee. she has unnaturally long limbs. she’s holding a fossilised ichthyosaur skull sword on her shoulder and is wearing weird clothes that make her skeleton visible like on an x-ray. there’s a spirit of a hare in the background, running around with its eye gleaming red. a digital painting with three characters from kingdom come deliverance games standing one before the other: lady jitka, hans and henry. first comes lady jitka of kunstadt standing with her back to us. she is dressed in a dark reddish dress with white rim that slightly opens her shoulders, and a white waistband. she has black hair and warm skin and looks very delicate. next, standing face to face with her but looking sideways, is hand capon, her almost husband. he’s highest of the three of them, dressed is almost all white, with yellow hues. there’s somewhat lost look on his face. he holds jitka’s right hand in his left one up, but it doesn’t look like he’s doing it willingly. behind him, almost lost to the background and to the figures before him, stands henry. he’s holding his sword in his left hand, wearing a red glove. the blade of the sword stays between hans’ and jitka’s shoulders, not letting them come closer to each other. henry’s face is barely visible behind hans’ shoulder but he’s looking at jitka. not with hate, not with jealousy, more with acceptance and awareness. henry’s holding a wreath full of flowers and a red ribbon in his right hand. hans’ right one, instead of holding jitka’s, has found the wreath without having to look, and his and henry’s finger are touching. jitka knows. she’s looking down, trying to reach them with her fingers, but alas. that heart is already full. there are herbs’ silhouettes in the background. according to the list of plants with symbolism on wiki, here’s their meaning. astragalus for hans (your presence softens my pain), heliotrope for henry (emblem of faithfully devoted love), and rue for jitka (regret, sorrow, repentance, grace, clear vision , disdain). three sketches of my beagle, Bucky. he’s posing, asking for snacks, eyes wide and begging; he is lying curled into a ball, eyes sad like no one loves him (LIES); and he is lying on his side, stretched out, his ear thrown back. digital drawing made in heavypaint. it’s a simple bright and sunny mountain landscape, with white clouds and greenery and flowers. a girl is standing in the grass, turned to us. she has long golden blonde hair, is dressed in a white shirt and red shorts and is holding a hat with a white ribbon on it in her left hand and a yellow flower in her right. she’s smiling, happy and calm, her eyes closed. two birds are flying in the distance. this is a portrait of my friend. i haven’t visited her in a couple years.

Couple of quick colour studies, just trying to understand the mood and lighting better. I enjoy sharing rough sketches like this, they have a certain energy to them that's hard to keep in a longer painting.
