Love and Deepspace- Rafayel "Sapphire Gaze"

hellooooooo!! man I do not paint enough water pieces!!!!!

A shiny, sparkly Rafayel to bring blessings upon you. Dude I absolutely thought that Sylus would win me over forever but this bratty man is hanging on. He's just so pretty, and we do NOT get enough mermen in anyTHING.

This is...

July Print theme vote

Hello everyone!!! I'm putting up a vote for July's theme- we are going with a couple of gaming hunks to pick from, lol. (Okay, 2 hunks and 1 goth babe) Please cast your votes! I'll have the runner up from last month (Sasuke from Naruto) and this month compete for August.

June print club sketch - LiDS Sylus

Hi guys!! I hope you are all doing well. :D

Here is the tentative sketch for this month's print club print! Some kind of steamy fancy giant bath type setting, with some sleek black and white tiles. I'm thinking either some greenery or columns in the back, or both, not sure yet. Just wanted ...

Loviatar's Blessing (May mini print)

Abdirak and Astarion, as promised. :3

(maybe a little spicier than originally promised)
I admit, the idea of rose brambles being used to tie Astarion up took hold of me, forgive me lol.

This piece is going to be this month's mini print to go with the He Who Was print!
I've chan...

WH40k: Rogue Trader Heinrix painting "Innocentia"

A test of patience, I've been diving into the 40K universe again and needed to paint the lovely Heinrix from Rogue Trader again. My second favorite game romance, nearly tied with Garrus from Mass Effect. Please play this game!

I've caught myself trying to rush through paintings a lot lately...

Clair Obscur- Gustave portrait

Inspired by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's beautiful art/music direction, I wanted to do something a little experimental and try a quick portrait with a bunch of brushes I've never used before. I didn't let myself use any brushes that I've used- in particular I tried the mixer brushes in Photoshop...

June Print Club Vote

This may be one of the more difficult polls I've put up lol, please vote for the theme of June's prints. Pitting Love in Deepspace up against a couple of my beloved anime/manga series.

If these all get split pretty evenly, I will set up a vote again next month for July, and either pit the r...

He Who Was (May Print Club Exclusive)

Hello everyone!!

He's here! He Who Was! Very cool to see a Shadar-kai in BG3- I think they are tragically underrepresented. I'd love to see a Forgotten Realms game tackle the setting of the Shadowfell in the future. Honestly I just really hope we get more Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gat...

Please choose which sketch I should complete for this month's mini print!

Hey guys, I am conflicted on which of these to do for the mini print (He Who Was will be the featured character in the main print), so it's up to you!! I'll consult the results either tomorrow or the next day and get painting.

Option 1: Astarion and Kar'niss in the rain, surrounded by black...

Solstice Vows (commission)

Oh I am so excited to be able to share this piece. As this month's "theme" is moonlit gardens in the Forgotten Realms, I am so happy to have been given permission to share this piece here. This was a special commission I did for the lovely Patrick Grandinetti here on Patreon a little while back, ...

May Print Club theme/characters AND request for June

Hi everyone!! Dropping in to announce that the BG3 moonlit garden theme won the poll for this month's print club!

I will be painting some silver-haired faves for May- the prints will feature Astarion, He Who Was, and Kar'niss. I also want to paint Abdirak finally, hopefully I'll have time t...

Sanctuary- April Dark Brotherhood mini print

Hey guys! Holy moly April flew by- I ended up with a little more on my plate than intended, so I am very sorry to be getting this piece posted on the first of May...

This is the mini print for the April print club, printing right now! I will be spending the rest of the day packing and shou...

Bound by Thrones for author Mel Braxton (some process+behind the scenes)

This is a piece I worked on this month for the author Mel Braxton and her series Bound by Thrones!

As you guys know, my workflow incorporates a lot of 3D and 2D elements, so I decided to go with almost purely 3D thumbnails this time for ease of tweaking.

I did a couple of thumbnails...

Lucanis- Reckoning (commission)

Sharing a portrait of Lucanis I got to do, commissioned by my lovely patron, Sarah!
I didn't end up playing Veilguard, but I do have to admit that Lucanis is so darn gorgeous.

I had a bit of a veterinary emergency with one of my pets this past weekend. (Seems to be all good now) That pl...

Cover illustration + Cardboard cutout for "A Darkness so Sweet" by Emma Hamm

I finally get to share this cover I worked on quite a while back for the author Emma Hamm!! It was really cool to work with her again, as I actually designed some stickers for her like 8 years ago or something outrageous like that. She's wonderful.

I have some process things to show a bit o...

Vai'dryn (commission)

A portrait commission of Dren_xo's gorgeous Szarkai Drow, Vai'dryn.

I hadn't ever painted one before, so I'm glad my first was this lovely lad!!
I'm working through the list of commission form submissions, I expect that I will get to each one, so please look out for an email from me if ...

May Print Club theme vote!

Hey everyone! As promised, here is a vote for the theme of next month's print club. It will be BG3, and I wanted to do something springy! Hoping to incorporate multiple characters, possibly multiple in one piece.

Option 1: A visit to the Feywild, with little pixies, glittering lights, and ...

A cheeky Astarion piece :3

hadn't drawn princess in a while, had to do it.

Cicero- Fool of Hearts (April Print of the Month)

"I took a stroll, and spied a maid, but Matron's duty stayed my blade. So busy now, I miss the thrill, if only I had time to kill."

Behold, Cicero- Fool of hearts! I think I can say that upon a replay of Skyrim, Cicero is my favorite NPC. (I love you too, Serana) Here is my take on...

1 portrait commission slot open! **EDIT CLOSED

**Editing to say I've received quite a few responses so I decided to close up! Thank you all!!!

Hey guys, looking to fill a commission slot this morning to test out my looser style! Apologies for the short notice, but I want to see how feasible it would be to offer these and get a gauge on ...

Jaheira doodle

dropping in for a little Jaheiraposting

I've had this idea for Jaheira wearing a stoat as a living scarf for ages, and finally got around to it. :3

Hope you are having a good week so far!!

Nerevar Moon-and-Star

Hellloooo everyone!

I've been working my way through a Morrowind playthrough and immersing myself in its lovely lore, and I've found myself quite captivated by the history of poor sweet Nerevar. :(

I had a few private projects I needed to finish up these past few weeks, so apologies f...

I hope you all ha...

Eilistraee's Grotto (March mini print)

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.

I present to you my latest piece; an imagining of a shrine to Eilistraee tucked deep into the Underdark, away from the dangers of Menzoberranzan and Lolth's evil clutches. Sweet music whispers through the cavern, a stark contrast to the howls of te...

Updates for March, and the next few month's print club themes!

Hey guys!! Some updates for you all, apologies for being less active for the month, it's been kind of a rough month overall. Started with mega artblock, have/had some projects, and ended with a serious family emergency that I have been helping deal with. Thank you all for your love and patience. ...

Creating Vhaeraun and slaying artblock

Hi guys! With this post today, I thought it would be fun to do a little write-up in my process for this month's print club print. Since the theme this month is Drow gods, specifically Vhaeraun for the main print (Eilistraee piece is in the WIP stages for the mini) I had to do a little more concep...

The Masked Lord (March Exclusive Print)

A portrait of the devious Vhaeraun in all his glory! I absolutely love the Drow and all of their lore, and the Dark Seldarine pantheon are just marvelous. The contrast between his evil self and his good twin Eilistraee is so tantalizing to me, lol. Both of my main Forgotten Realms OCs, my BG3 cha...

Symbol of the Masked Lord

Vhaeraun, the god of thieves and the advancement of Drow... A controversial god and one of my absolute favorites in the DnD Forgotten Realms. Tragically underrepresented.

A little preview piece in which I explored his mask/symbol in detail. I will be posting a huge process blog at the end o...

March Print Giveaway (and April + May print club theme announcements)

There will be 3 winners, each get to choose 2 11x14 prints from my shop. People from all countri...
