Leo Val - Fantasy artist looking for work! @leoval.bsky.social · Apr 10

#portfolioday Hey! I'm a Finnish dark fantasy artist working on my own worldbuilding project and turning it into an Art book with bunch of lore on the side :)
Hope you enjoy my doodles! <3

Aw, thank you! Yeah it is a neat idea which I'm trying to explore as part of the worldbuilding in my dark fantasy story :D There's a particular city that is specialised in harvesting and hunting dragons for their tough skeletons. This might be one of them :p

If you want to use ANY artwork an artist has made. Many of us are very happy to license an image for your use.

Artist's know that you like it.

Thank them with payment.

Artist's know you found it on the internet.
No, it's not fair use.

Reverse image search. Email them. PAY THE ARTIST.

It might not seem like much. But if ANYONE use ANY artist's work to distribute product for profit or not for profit, without the artist's permission, it's stealing.

I know there might be some people who will say, "but it's exposure!"

No. Full stop. PAY THE ARTIST.

Haha, honestly, went a little *too* big with the scale of the dragon!
Though, in a way this scale is fun too, but is a bit harder to illustrate :D

More reasons to stop using Spotify. Somehow bots can add songs that don't exist in your catalogue anymore and stream them? Like, nani the F***?
