In #Ha-Nahn magic is powered by and enacted through story. But the story alone is not enough. Magic requires a few components. A tale must have been retold enough and have a potent lesson to be used. A mage must understand that lesson. And then they must will that lesson into reality in the world.

An image of a Black non-binary person in a rainforest environment. They are a mage and the painting is done primarily in a green pallet. They’re channeling nature magic into a protective cloak that trails away from her shoulders and arcs gracefully across the page. They look over their shoulder at it serenely and is seen from a slightly raised angle. Small calligraphic symbols can be seen throughout the image.

Recently completed my mentorship with the amazing @paulscottcanavan.com! Here's my final artwork - I'm super proud of it.

[ #jasperdraws #dndart #elfenjoyers #ocsky ]

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.

Decided to go back to some 'simpler' stuff and I'm finally happy with how a painting turned out for the first time in like two months 😭

"I Contain Multitudes"

This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today.

The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

This digitally painted piece honors the survivor spirit of the coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our landscapes today. Below the horizon, carefully chosen ancestors mark pivotal moments in adaptation, each contributing to the form and survivor we see today. Above the horizon, Coyote stands alert at the center, framed by both Denver’s skyline and a mountain backdrop, symbols of their ability to thrive in cities as well as wilderness. Embedded in the ground are the skulls and bones of carnivores whose lineages ended long ago, emphasizing Coyote’s persistence in contrast.

As is custom I'll kick us off. I'm Aaron and I work mostly in heroic and mythic fantasy that's non-Eurocentric. I also do maps and tons of worldbuilding over on my patreon!

A digital illustration of a massive divine dragon with purple and gold coloration. The massive beast flies over a mountain city with floating islands all around. As it turns in the sky its wings trail through clouds. The creature has a thick almost gorilla like body and stripes like a tiger but made of something like gold that seems to flow beneath its skin.

An image of a woman in a blue dress seated upon a throne with moon symbols on it looking down imperiously. She is surrounded by stones, gnarled trees and a stone circle behind her head. Her hair moves as though it's being blown by a strong wind or moved by ocean currents. Her dress flows into a waterfall that turns into a pool that flows into the foreground.

A digital painting of a small segment of a district of a city. An establishing shot of a city full of bridges, canals, ramps and buildings built on top of buildings. The roofs are done in blues and greens with a large red tower on the right hand side. The image is bathed in warm spring day light.

A map of a single continent with a large desert in its center. It's done on toned paper with a few islands around it. The coastline has a large number of mountains around it with the civilizations situated along that same coast and in a few of the mountains as well with the interior very empty save for one large city situated at the confluence of two rivers before you reach the desert.
