Digital illustration of a lavish interior and an older gentleman posing for a mural. While the model is old and hunched over, the clothes too big for him, with servants around him holding various props, his portrait shows a strapping younger man posing with a sword.

A digital illustration of a character and her skeletal mount, half-heron, half-fox. The character, a priestess of the Guild of Mists, is in the middle of the sacred, pre-hunt rites. She's holding a holy amulet and a smoking censer. They're both in a misty marsh, the skeletal remains of past hunts at their feet.

Happy birthday Paul! Eat cake

Some character art for Humblewood. A crow assassin wielding daggers, a moonlit sky and the great tree city in the background. A racoon bandit throwing dice in the air in a forest setting. A little... mouse guy? With leaf wings looking very proud of himself. Two undead birds, one wearing armour, in a dark forest.

A couple of background paintings for Daggerheart. One is a sprawling city at night with a couple of vagabonds in the corner, the other is a plains environment with a bright sunrise and a big... Creature. And Bedouin looking people who live in tents.

Some of the 40+ Magic: the Gathering cards I have painted. I don't remember all of the names, ask me a question if you want a specific description!

Some scenes for Dungeons & Dragons. A tiefling in a haunted shop, ghosts reflected in the mirror. A woman fending off werewolves in a burning city. A big... dwarf boss guy firing ice bolts while being attacked by heroes. A mushroom guy being tortured by a... Okay, I don't remember what these guys are called either. But he's having a rough time.

It's my birthday, apparently? What if we do the obligatory artshare thing 👀

That damned smile

Absolute banger

A digital portrait study of Jeon Wonwoo, member of the k-pop group Seventeen. Monochrome (desaturated beige to brown to black) study of a photo, trying to mimic traditional media of pencil and charcoal. He's portrayed from the side, looking at the camera over his shoulder. He's mostly placed in the shadow with a strong rim light (from the window off screen) lining his face. There's a vague depiction of blinds in the background behind him, with light coming from the left, and going further dark towards the right - setting the lighting of the scene and figure.

Comfort 💕
Jeon Wonwoo from Seventeen, my comfort zone.

Portrait of a goblin looking over there shoulder, clutching a bunch of flowers a doing their best big beautiful smile

Roses are red,

but here’s a goblin,
’cause it’s #goblinweek

A photo that shows on the right side a swan resting on the surface of a lake, under snow covered branches coming from the left side of the picture. In the background, out of focus snow-covered trees. The overall palette is very muted, blue-grays. The swan's warm white plumage and bright orange bill stand out.

A photo of a flock of eleven cackling geese flying out of thick fog in perfect V formation. In the bottom left, the top of a snow covered tree. The sky is very overcast and the overall color palette of the image is muted grays and blues.

A photo showing the surface of a lake. In the foreground, two tall branches stand above the water, and on the right side of the those branches, a swan sleeps, curled up on itself. In the background, snow covered trees. The overall color palette is very muted, mostly gray, except for warm glow of sunlight hitting the back of the trees and the surface of the water.

A photo showing, in the foreground, on the lefthand side, a swan and on the righthand side, gnarled branches of a dead tree above the water, seemingly reaching towards the swan. In the background, out of focus snow-covered trees. The overall color palette is very muted but a warm glow illuminates the whole image. A sliver of sunlight hits the surface of the water and illuminates the swan.
