The Metabaron!
A fanart piece I painted some time ago, inspired by the comic by Moebius and Jodorowsky. Reading The Incal about 10 years ago was what truly sparked my love for sci-fi, and soon after, I dove into Dune, which originally inspired The Incal. Both are incredible works!

“The Judge”; A personal painting from 2022, inspired by the various Bronze Age cultures, a period of history I once explored in depth.
The piece evolved through several iterations after experimenting with new techniques in color and atmospheric perspective.

Daemon Targaryen a painting I created when House of the Dragon Season 2 was released. I’ve always been a huge fan of Westeros and the many stories woven throughout this world, and I’m beyond excited for all the upcoming productions that will continue to bring it to life.

Painting from almost 3 years ago I did to practice dynamic scenes with multiple characters. Still a subject I would like to experiment more with, but was a great learning experience nonetheless!

Looking for an ARTIST for an assignment I am unable to take. Fantasy illustration, dynamic scene, multiple characters.

Drop your portfolio in the comments! The client will reach out if they see a fit.

Good luck!

It was a valuable learning experience and a project I look back on fondly. Hoping to make more of these type of scenes in the future! 2/2

This is a painting I created about five years ago for Fireforge Games. The cover art for their Western European Knights miniature box set.
At the time, dynamic action scenes weren’t my strongest skill, but I’m still quite happy with how this piece turned out. 1/2
