I work digital for my job and hobbies but damn I love the smell of a good book and the feel of good soft lead on paper.

Jasper 🐦‍⬛ TTRPG artist @jaspermillerart.com · 13h

Hey, I'm Jasper! I'm a fantasy illustrator from Aotearoa (New Zealand).

I'm always looking for more TTRPG and book projects, so don't hesitate to reach out.

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand).

Two images in one.

First: A stylised illustration of my Rook, Dawes Mercar (short dark hair, green eyes, thick brows, olive skin). He stands with on arm crossed in front of his face, obscuring his mouth, and holds a white silhouette of Solas's dagger. In the background is a Shadow Dragon mural of diamond design in teal, with red chains crossing over. A mural of a dragon emerges from it, passing in front of Rook.

Second: A tarot illustration of the Two of Swords. It has a textured, stylised feel. It depicts Kismet (drow, white curly hair in a shag cut, purple skin, hooked nose) and his sister Zhuthra (white straight hair in a bob cut, purple skin, slightly shorter). They are back to back with stylised white rapiers intersecting through both of their chests. They are both blindfolded. Kismet looks up, and has a tear falling down his cheek. One hand is raised with two forefingers straight, like many depictions of saints. The background is green with an abstract depiction of Rosohna. In the middle top is a white crescent moon and round red moon.

Illustration from first person view, showing a hand holding up an opalescent stone with a hole in the center. The stone has brass filigree, and through the hole is a view of a mountain sheep. The background is a mountainous landscape. There are slight magical effects showing that the view through the stone is a zoomed in view of the background.

Reposting some personal works I made during the last years.
I wish I could be more ambitious with my own work but I often end up doing very safe illustrations. I really like them but I wish I had the energy to try some new subjects

Continuing with a little retopo before I clean up the sculpt

My general modeling process these days involves going hard with tris and ngons so I can retain forms more easily and avoid things like sawtooth ridges along the edges of deformed cloth

Once it's subdivided it becomes clean quads!

People hated on Legacy allot, I enjoyed the movie and watched it many times sucked in by the world. I feel like people need every TRON to be some sort of masterwork of art and can't just enjoy a good isekai movie for what it is. Also the ARES soundtrack is good background while coding.

Oooh let me know how it goes! I have an identity disc on my desk that was a retrofit of the toy released that added better EL Strips but it's not at the quality I'd love. I've seen some STL's for identity disc's and videos of sound files and EL lights but it seems like so much work.

Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.

I’m sad we never got a sequel to TurboKid. That movie connected to my inner 80s child in a way few movies ever did.
