It’s my birthday today! 🎈
I’d be delighted if people shared this around to help me celebrate turning 29 🎂

Also, hello to any art directors, my folio and contact info is in the replies 😉

I love when I get commissioned to draw a whole DnD party of weirdos 🥰

God King’s Chambers, my third piece for #Octoby2025 🍇🏺

I’ve always drawn the Demi-gods in this project as inhumanly tall, so I wanted to paint something that emphasised that with this piece

Mysterious Merfolk, my fourth piece for #Octoby2025 🧜🌊

Trying to be much quicker with these, managed this one in an hour and a half. Merfolk are reclusive messengers for the goddess of the sea, but their true motives are unknown.

Ahhh thank you so much! I’m pleased with the design too, might have to do a full painting with some merpeople some time

Couldn’t decide what October drawing challenge to do, or even if I wanted to do one…

✏️Introducing OCTOBY 2025🎨

#octoby2025 #octoby

OCTOBY 2025 - where I draw whatever I want (unless I don’t) and it’ll probably be an elf (unless it isn’t), for every day of October (unless it’s not)

Trying this faux toned paper look again, it’s much quicker than my usual process, so it’s nice for exploring ideas ✍️

Desert Dryad, my second piece for #Octoby2025 🌵

I’m trying a digital version of using toned paper, which I love in an analogue sketchbook. More world building here, thinking about biome specific spirits

Day 1 of #Octoby2025 Selkie Priestess 🦭

Managed to get this done in a bit under 3 hours, used today’s drawing to explore some world building ideas… which I’ll probably do more of, we’ll see 🤷‍♂️

This one took a little longer than I’d like, about 6 hours, next time I think I should focus less on little details 🤷‍♂️
