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.

Golden Moment

A drawing of a fowldyr character that belongs to Eraili
Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me)

A drawing of a winged deer-like creature with a pelt in shades of cream, gold, and brown. His wings are lined with jade coloured feathers with gilded edges. Around his neck is a thick green rope from which many jade beads and tassels hang. He stands in a shallow pond with red lily pads scattered across the surface. Swaying red willow branches streak across the canvas. #Stasanie #Fowldyr

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

You every feel like the energy you're trying to give a character you're painting is that their intro scene in a video game would get made in shorts with thirsty music playing over it?

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”

I have never managed to view the original Star Wars trilogy in its entirety.

... yes people get obnoxious when they learn this. I've ended up defending people when they admit to never watching LotR. :'D

(Gamer specific: Never played a Zelda game, or FFVII, just wasn't a console gamer in general)

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Instead of dumb AI stuff, couldn't SV zeroes in on food teleportation tech so I can send some of this armful of tomatoes I just took in to some friends.

... also so they can send me regional snacks in return.
