Digital artwork. It is a wedding scene, the bride and the groom are both dressed in white and gold, they are surrounded by knights in armor holding their swords above the couple to form an arch. There is a flower arch behind them and flower petals are flying in the air. Digital artwork, fanart of a game "The Talos Principle 2". A robot of red and white colors named Byron is suffering from some kind of malfunction while touching a computer panel. He is on his knees, not able to free his hand. In the distance another robot named 1K is rushing to help, but he is too late. They seem to be inside of a huge artificial structure, but the floor is filled with water, Byron and the computer panel are located on an island of rocks with some pine trees and plants. Digital illustration. It's autumn, the day is gray, the leaves on trees and on the ground are golden yellow. A young woman sits under the tree at the edge of a forest and casts a spell - glowing golden magic around her, it's an illusion of a lot of things and characters, she seems to tell a story. Near her is a black horse that looks at the magic in awe. A cat sneaks behind the tree and looks at them too. Far in the background is a small town with colorful houses and some colorful fields near it, some light shines through clouds and lightens the town. Digital artwork, fanart of the game "Baldur's Gate 3". Illustration of two mind flayers walking and holding tentacles instead of holding hands. The mood is calm and romantic.

Here is my illustration for 'Down by the River' artbook (@dbtrartbook.bsky.social‬). I was happy to be a part of this project 💜
Digital painting, fan art of the game "Baldur's Gate 3". There are two mind flayers in the image, The Emperor and Tav who transformed and became a mind flayer too. The Emperor sits in a chair and holds an intellect devourer Us, Tav stands near and reaches to Us with their hand. The light is warm and the scene seems peaceful, they are happy.

Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄
I didn't have time to paint a new winter themed art, so here is the one from last year.
A peaceful winter scene in a small village. In the sky a deer that looks like night divides the illustration in two parts - one is sunset, and the other behind the deer is night. A thin crescent moon is located between deer's antlers.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a gorgeous piece of cinema like Guillermo’s Frankenstein 🖤

I don't know when I'll be able to show any new art, so here's something from my sketchbook. Fineliners and pens kind of started to grow on me, I think 1/2
A drawing of a knight in armor made with fineliners. Two fineliner and pen drawings from my sketchbook. The first is a portrait of an evil queen with black braid and crown who casts magic with her hand. The second is a female mage with a staff. Two fineliner drawings fro my sketchbook. The first one is undead skeleton king with a sword. The second is a woman in a dress with flower decorations, she has horns and goat-like ears.

Cover for SOUL OBSESSION by Kalista Neith and Fae Crate

Thank you for having me!

I also did the page end design for this edition -- very happy with how those turned out (it's more starry snakes). I think the cover ended up being one of my favourite pieces this year.

This is a personal work, the first one in years, I could manage to spend some time on it despite all my current works, but I needed to do it and the most important thing, it’s probably one of the paintings I enjoyed most in a while!

Mil gracias @realgdt.bsky.social por esta obra maestra!

Digital artwork of a long haired half-elf in black leather armor with glowing details, black wings behind his back. He has dagger in one hand, the other hand is pressed to his chest, where yellow light glows. He's flying, or maybe falling, glowing yellow lines and some falling feathers around him, clouds on the background.

Hi, I’m new to this place. 😅 Next week I’m attending my first con, MCM London, as an author. Yesterday I received my table runner (it needs ironing). It’s stunning! Artwork by the wonderful @shade-of-stars.bsky.social who’s an absolute joy to work with (and one of my favourite artists) 💜💜💜
A table runner with a purple and black background, floral details and two portraits. It shows a human, blond man in white and gold armour holding a pink and white rose. The other portrait shows a High Elf prince with long white hair who’s holding a magical butterfly in gold. The elf is wearing a crown in gold, adorned with magical stones in purple. The text on the table runner says: Author C. K. Andersson, Stories with a whole lot of heart.
