Feeling Mordor-y lately.
(Yes, another LOTR piece, you can't stop me.) Finished just in time for Fanexpo PDX this weekend!
Come find me in Artist Alley booth A221. Plus all the hobbits will be at the show and I'll at least be in the same building, deceased.

Sophie du Mal, the Spider Queen! 🕸️

An incredible hand made costume and such a fun drawing event. 🖤

Check her out on insta - www.instagram.com/sophiedumal/

A rough and colorful sketch of a dynamic pose held by incredible model and burlesque dancer Sophie du Mal! She wears an ornate, lingerie dress with sequins and spider webs, and a crown made of webs as well. Her dress had four other spider arms attached to her that moved with her own arms, so the poses were really interesting and dynamic!

Savage raiding can be brutal, leave time for vibe checks! ✨

#finalfantasyxiv #ffxiv #ff14 #illustration
8 members of a savage raiding static relax together in a large hot tub or sauna between prog attempts. Some are discussing strategy, while others are just trying to chillax with some coffee or a quick snooze.

Starlight is very different for me this year....

Its been the hardest year of my adult life... And I just want to express immense gratitude for those of you who have given me love and support through it all.

Sending warm winter wishes, stay cozy!

#finalfantasyxiv #ffxiv #ff14 #gpose #starlight
A screenshot of Lycelle sitting on a bench, facing the festive decorations of the Starlight Stalls. The stars are twinkling and the snow is falling. She is alone. This year I took care of my dad as he passed away. And then took care of my mom as she fought through cancer treatment. On top of my own issues. And someone who I loved without measure breaking my heart and teaching me some valuable lessons. Not to mention the general state of the world on fire... Im looking forward to our new years bash with good friends, and hoping 2026 is kinder and gentler. Happy Starlight.

Every artist, get more self indulgent NOW! Draw your ships kissing, draw your blorbos, draw that idea you’ve been putting off (you’re good enough to do it!!!), redraw that old art, draw yourself wearing a cool outfit, draw a better world- just draw!!!

Y'shtola x Dark Academia 💜

#finalfantasyxiv #ff14art #ffxivart #yshtola
An illustration of Y'shtola wearing an outfit inspired by a collage made by Lindsey Miles called "Dark Academia". She wears a dark turtle neck sweater and matching pleated skirt, over dark tights and black ankle boots. She holds a book stuffed with notes and tabs, while a Nixie hovers playfully nearby.

The Princess Bride is one of my all time favorite books and movies.

Heres a throwback to a vis dev project from 2010.

Thank you for your creativity, Rob. You will always be a storytelling inspiration. 🙏

#art #illustration #visdev #theprincessbride
A pinup illustration of my final character design for Buttercup. She is a beautiful, blonde, buxom woman, wearing a mauve and yellow dress, and gazing happily (if not a bit vapidly) offscreen. Final vis dev board for the scenes I redesigned for The Princess Bride including the thumbnail explorations, value and color studies, and the finished cinematic moment. The top scene is when they are approaching the Cliffs of Insanity, the bottom scene is the romantic rescue from the quicksand in the Fire Swamp. Final board featuring the vis dev process for redesigning a few characters from The Princess Bride, including thumbnail shape exploration, gestures, action poses, expressions, color studies and turnarounds. I focused mainly on Buttercup but also explored Inigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini.

A side by side of me on the left, and Lycelle on the right. I'm waving at the camera, wearing a festive red sequin holiday jumper, and my brand new fabulous Viera ears made by Turtle Smithy! Lycelle is wearing a festive gold holiday dress, standing in front of Starlight trees, and looking gorgeous as usual.

A digital painting study of a screenshot from the movie Wicked, a tender moment when Glinda places a pink rose in Elphabas hair and remarks how beautiful she is as they both gaze at their reflections in a mirror. "Pink goes good with green."

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.
