Finished up a double page illustration for my personal project - a kidlit picture book for a group of children on their first DnD campaign! ⚔️

An illustration of a classic DnD scene: rolling hills in the background, with houses and a fantasy style milkshake shop in the foreground. A group of children in DnD style clothing (and their cat) are making their way into the shop. Inside the shop there is already a child drinking a milkshake with the group's pet hamster. The style is fun and cartoony.

A close up of the previous scene, showing two of the adventurers (a paladin and a barbarian) with their cat (who looks slightly like a displacer beast) waiting for the rest of the group. You can also see the child and hamster drinking milkshakes in the background.

A close up of the previous scene showing the other two characters (a druid and a wizard) strolling through the scene towards the milkshake shop. In the background you can see a small shrine.

A few of my favorite of our environment shots from Sword of the Sea
Reminder that I'm looking for work as an Environment Artist or 3D Artist 🙂

A screenshot of "Sword of the Sea". The image is of a sandy landscape with statues and flags submerged in sand. In the distance you can see a temple and a large triangular shaped mountain.

A screenshot of "Sword of the Sea". The image is of a temple with red brick, covered in foliage. There is a half pipe in the center.

A screenshot of "Sword of the Sea". The image is of an ethereal blue landscape with floating islands, a ghostly bridge, and a large triangle structure on top of a mountain.

A screenshot of "Sword of the Sea". The image is of two large armored warriors in a frozen landscape. One is buried beneath the snow with only its hand clawing towards the viewer. There is a beam of light coming from one of the warriors eyes.

I think is by accelerometer, it is pretty accurate for the squat / deadlift. Didn’t know what landmine rotations were at the end though.
