James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

Golden Embers - watercolour and digital, 2015 (I think?)

It's been a long time since I posted this vengeful queen. Back when my style was a little more abstract and weird.

A queen with a RBF stands with her hands on a sword's hilt. Her skirt is an abstract view into a kingdom on fire.

Me: The Middle-Ages were actually very colorful.
Also me: I only want to paint black and green.

I think it's just for players - or at least, you have to buy a pass to get in. There are usually a few vendors and there will be a few other artists with me.

I haven't spoken to F2F about it, but I'll keep it in mind! I'd love to be back in Toronto.

Inktober from a few years ago

I still feel this one in my bones.

A woman's face in the bloom of a rose. Her own thorns close tightly around her throat.

The Party Tree - happy belated birthday Bilbo!
Watercolour and acryla gouache on paper

One of my Tolkien-inspired works. If you're here because you enjoyed the Smaug I painted for Magic: The Gathering, I have more where that came from!

A hobbit leaves his home in the dead of night, he carries a backpack and sets out on a journey. In the background, we see a lively birthday party under a well-lit tree, and a sky full of fireworks.

@magic.wizards.com previewed beautiful @serenamalyon.bsky.social art for the Hobbit release featuring Smaug & Bilbo meeting within the hoard of gold!

Serena already has multiple gorgeous Hobbit/LOTR pieces in her body of work.

Check out her inprnt gallery here: www.inprnt.com/collections/...

A dragon (Smaug) lays across an absolutely massive golden hoard as a small figure (Bilbo) climbs the pile.

Beautiful painting in predominantly red and gold hues by Serena Malyon.

The tree city of Lothlórien, home of the elves. A spiral staircase winds up a giant tree with golden leaves, buildings hanging from its brances like ornaments. At the top of the image, the fellowship greets Galadriel and Celeborn. At the bottom of the image we see Frodo peering into the basin with Galadriel.

A painting of Smaug lying in his hoard beneath the dwarven caves of the Lonely Mountain.

In the foreground we see a hobbit leaving his home in the night - in the background we see a party happening under a massive tree, while fireworks light up the sky.
