We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

I am an art director who has probably seen close to 1000 portfolios, many great, but many...not 😔

Started on a new pixelart map, fanart of a game I picked up in the last sale.

Can anyone recognise it from the WIP pictures?

Karnorion: Seared Lands of the Twin Suns

Done for a challenge on the Cartographer's Guild and was fun to try something different stylistically, stick to a rigid palette, and challenge myself with the dual source lighting

A recently commissioned map of a private client's D&D world for their upcoming campaign.

The main themes of the world were the balance of light and dark and of exploring ancient magitech ruins, something I incorporated into the border.

No cheating. Post the last pic of your pet.

Was a very warm day so Merlin enjoyed a swim in the river to cool off

[Marked sensitive due to arachnid features]
Last creature sketch for @markadamscraft.bsky.social , a Jorogumo. This one was particularly unsettling to work on and went through a few revisions of its Giger-esque features

Fellow #cartography / #map makers who take commissions… would any of y’all be willing to talk to me through DMs in regards to what I’m quoting here 👀?

I would absolutely love to expand on my little study from this year, to include maps 🥺♥️ RP’s highly appreciated!

By the way, at the beginning of this year I decided to do a study on how much artists charge for commissions. Essentially, I wanted to make sure my own prices were fair while also trying to help educate others.

So if anyone's interested, here's the study! I really hope it helps 💛✨ #CommissionInfo

Another creature sketch made for @markadamscraft.bsky.social
This one again was a lot of fun and I had a definition vision for it right from Mark's initial description

Back to working on a personal map.
This one is actually a remake of one I made 12 years ago, so will be cool to see the progress

Hope everyone's new year is starting well!
I can finally share some of the creature sketches I worked on for @markadamscraft.bsky.social back in 2023.
I've always loved creature design and this was a great chance to do more of it

Time to get my feet wet with this new platform! Here's a recent commission, and one of my favourite maps from this year. Made for upcoming "Bound by Veils of Mist" by Amy Mandari.

Question for my fellow artists and authors — which social media platform has been most beneficial to your career/income, and why?

Quote repost some art with stars ✨

These were done years ago. Each took a long time but very satisfying to do #pixelart

Show us your pet’s baby picture (or first time with you)!

First picture with Merlin when we got him home and settled in, he took to everything so quickly
