Painting for #dungeonsanddragons in their new companion book for Faerûn! Had the joy of working on the concept push and also add a few finished illustrations. Who doesn't love a good autumn forest? Bids for cuteness and scale.

I'm starting a mega reading-a-thon. Reading 15 popular fantasy/romantasy books. Some of these I know I won't like so there will be some skimming but what I'm trying to learn is the common themes and structures. I'll include mini reviews but really, this isn't so much for fun as for understanding.

Two pieces of #boardgameart I made earlier this year :) I was trying a different approach and style than my usual. Ink and marker on bristol paper, then finished digitally.

An older piece from 3 years ago, right when I had transitioned from fully digital to a traditional-digital hybrid approach. It's not as clean and crisp as my newer works but I have a soft spot for this particular OC (her's name's Blue, btw, and she's from the #firefly RPG :)

WIP for a #monsterromance premade book cover I'm hoping to have up in a few days. I'm very happy with it so far, especially the lighting (good references are essential!). I sketched this one out on paper in much more detail than usual and I think it def helped.
