The fortress stands far to the north.
For years it had no master - until mercenaries found it and claimed its walls.
Now it is the last refuge of people in the lands of Syneria.
Beyond the gates there is only cold, silence. and monsters waiting in the snow.

Yeah… it’s scary if no one reads it. Or if they do - which might be worse, because then you’re signing up for weekly updates forever.
Either way, it’s a trial by fire. Not everyone survives it πŸ˜…

From the era when I thought making a comic would be easy.
It’s not πŸ˜…
I think I got tired somewhere around the β€œfinding the main character” stage. Turns out designing one you can live with for 200+ pages is… slightly harder than it sounds.

Still kind of miss this phase though.

Some have watched this world for centuries.
They saw gods fall to mortal blades,
magic burn the seas,
empires swallowed by war.
They only observed - never intervened.
And they won’t start now.

The road always begins quietly.
One step, then another - and suddenly you’re far from home.

It’s been a while since I worked in an Overwatch-style aesthetic πŸ˜€
Had fun designing this character during the school stream.

Syneria was a harsh place.
People ended up here for only two reasons:
either they were unlucky enough to be born here,
or they came here to die.

Guilt followed Kaelis like a shadow, weighing heavily on her shoulders.
She knew this choice was inevitable.
It just wasn’t time yet.

Sketching a possible book cover - and finally trying to give a face to characters I used to know only through words.

Every journey begins with crossing a threshold.
Where the path leads is up to you.

A small collection of fantasy illustrations.
I like showing the world in fragments β€” as if a character is traveling through it, and we’re just witnessing the journey.

I’m really glad to hear that πŸ–€
Environment practice became an outlet for me after a long time of drawing mostly for work - which paid the bills, but didn’t really bring joy. Drawing for myself again changed that.

- So, once upon a time, an angel and a sorceress walked across the Sea of Oblivion to the Tower of God...
- Oh, don't start.
- Why? It's a classic!
- Legends end in triumph, not with the words "and they were swept away by the wave."

Thank you! πŸ₯°
I take private commissions as well, but I’m currently closed - planning to open again in late February / March.

Tanaylen β€” the Eternal Forest.
It does not welcome outsiders.
Entering means never leaving.

Thank you! πŸ’™ 2to1 is just the canvas aspect ratio I use for sketches β€” it’s literally two squares side by side (it originally came from Instagram ratios).
I started using it last year for environment practice, and I think it works especially well for atmospheric pieces.

Thank you! Lighting is kind of a cheat πŸ˜„
Once I realized light can guide the eye, composition became way easier.

The house belongs to no one.
It appears when the road grows long and the night turns cold.
Its doors open willingly. Its lights glow warmly for the lost.

Gods save the fools who trust its welcome.

In Elyrheim, the snow never melted. It fell without a sound, settled on rooftops and shoulders, clung to hair and eyelashes β€” and no one paid it any mind. In this city, winter never arrived. It got stuck, like everything else

Yes! These are character sprites for one of my projects β€” for the game Coldmere. Glad you like them πŸ–€
