A cute mixed media painting showing a small ginger kitten leaning over a purple hair fairy whose hair is blowing in the wind, as she reads from a book while lying with her feet in the air on a lichen covered log. They are both in a stylised forest. The kitten is entranced with the book the fairy is reading from. photo of a framed painting of a cat and a fairy on a wood shelf, surrounded by plants and plantpots close up of a painting showing glimmer gold paints

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

NGL folks. Moving even just one of these originals would really make a difference for my husband & I with our continually piling up medical bills.🥲 Plz help spread the word, if you can. Even just re-sharing is powerful for small artists like me.🙏

More SoIaF calender art! This time ALL the horses. I really enjoy painting horses but this one was a challenge with so many. Oberyn arriving with his cohort. I managed to sneak the Hogg family banner in there as it's legit a family he travelled with :D

Oil on panel 19 x 19" #art #gameofthrones
a traditional oil painting of a scene from a Song of ice and Fire, where Oberyn and his Dorne cohort, all on horseback with family banners and crests visible, arrive to meet Bron and Tyrion, meant as a snub. Oberyn rides a white stallion bedecked with orange and yellow barding, while Tyrion and Bron's dark horses and decked in red and gold barding of the Lannister household. The landscape is dramatic hills and low lying clouds

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. 😊 The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character 😅
A woman with a shaved head in gold armor stands among dark briars. The briar thorns pierce her armor and skin in a few places, and she hangs her head in a defeated posture.

Another calendar piece! One of those pieces that when I did the digital sketch, I forgot I couldn't copy & paste in oils. Dany in one of her most iconic moments, taking control of the Unsullied.

#art #asoiaf
oil painting depicting the famous white haired character Danaerys from game of Thrones, sitting stop her white rearing horse, cracking the whip that give her control of the unsullied, who are lined up behind her, spears and shields in hand while her juvenile dragons wreak havoc on the city in the distance.

Well this was a siren song I couldn't resist late at night when i should really be sleeping. Cara is all about sexy things in red, and she seems to be my fashion muse.

#TheWhalerGirl
Sketchy, dynamic artwork of a tall slender woman wearing a heavy red cloak with circles across it, and a reflective, smooth plastic top in the shape of a broken heart, heald together with gold chains. The image has an irreverent iconic feel to it

Next up from the 2020 SoIaF calendar, the moment Arya whispers her first name to Jaqen.

19" square, Oil on panel
#traditionalart #fantasyart #art
traditional painting from the Song of Ice and Fire calendar from 2020, it depicts Jaqen, lounging naked with arms out in a large round stone pool of still black water, his white and red hair draped over his shoulders, while Arya, dressed in servants garb leans over to whisper a name in his ear. Two female servants can be seen standing in the background, which consists of large stone pillars and a stone and wood floor,

I've never shared all of the images from the official SoIaF calendar I did for 2020, choosing scenes that inspired me from across the series. These are all 2ft square oil paintings, and remain some of the most intense, accomplished work of my career. Up first is Ned and Cat under the heart tree.
a painting from the GRRM book Game of Thrones, depicting a couple in medieval style garb, a man and a woman. Both perch on the roots of a huge white tree. He is cleaning blood from his sword, which pools into the abstract shape of a stags head in the water, an omen of things to come.
