Hello #artsky, thought I'd let folks know that I'm opening some #commissions for September! I'm an experienced fantasy illustrator, examples attached! Shoot me a message if you're interested. :)

An illustration of a mythical suit of armor, the Babr-e Bayan, on top of an abstract watercolor background. The armor consists of multiple parts - a scale mail chestpiece, a golden helm with crimson tassels, and a studded belt with a lion motif on the buckle. A maille hauberk & striped fabric undergarment is folded within the armor, and a leopard skin is wrapped around the ensemble.

A revenant paladin with pale blue skin steps out of a wet bog, his leaf-themed armor the color of golden leaves & rust. Clad in earth tones, he wields an intricately fashioned flail with a wilting rose motif.

A werebear pirate captain leaps from the top deck of a ship to attack a half-elf ranger and a human wizard below. The wizard is melting silver with his staff, which the ranger has dipped their arrow in, aiming a red hot arrow at their assailant. The entire scene is drenched in rain, illuminated by the flash of electric blue lightning in a dark storm.

Painting depicting a massive serpent crashing through the gates of the great city of Al'Kirat, stopped in its tracks by a formidable storm giant wielding a relic of ancient power. In the background, the armies of the free city pour forth from the walls, beset by the projectiles of the undead horde, felling soldier & building alike in bursts of flame.
