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

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.

Tomorrow is the big day for Jester & Fjord!

Are you all ready to celebrate the wedding in perfect Mighty Nein style? I’m sure nothing will go wrong at all 😂

A reinterpretation of Leighton’s “Call to Arms”, dedicated to the bride & groom💙✨
#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart @criticalrole.bsky.social

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

The Athrathrao Myth - Concept Art. Finally done with these, some lore, from the myth itself, and some hints to my own project below. I redacted some stuff because I don't have names for places yet and other stuff.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

I was on a vc with some other artists and we had the thought "what if we tried to doodle sexy watto" and all it took was 4 artists posting to bluesky seemingly independently of one another for dozens of people to join in and for it to become trending. I think artists have more pull than they realize

I didn't realize she was rambling on about how poor she was again until I saw my analytics spike on this video. If you want to know what Joanne used to say about her poverty before she started stretching the truth - this is it.
