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 the mini print for the print club this month btw! Working on Sylus next week, sorry not sorry both of these lads ended up, uh, wet, but I can't help myself.

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.

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 to get Sylus and his feathered friend roughed out. Rafayel will be the mini, I'm thinking a close up portrait of him with his mermaid scales and pretty eyes glittering.
I'll be posting a poll he...

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 changed the crop a bit for the print to avoid weird composition issues, added some more head room above Abdirak just in case, but I'm still playing around with it. The mini prints are a bit more narrow th...

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!

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 for the first time. This was done almost entirely using Deharme's brush sets.
It's always a little clunky and odd trying different brushes, but a fun little exercise. I'm not sure how to feel ...

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 remaining two against each other, or the next runner up and a new contender. Listed from least to most edgy for your convenience.

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 Gate, I'm still not over the fact that we're not getting another Larian game in the setting. I love He Who Was's solemn demeanor, and seeing him among the spooky red leafed foliage in Moonrise of course ...

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 roses and dewdrop laden spiderwebs
Option 2: Astarion and Abdirak surrounded by red roses, wrought iron, and thorny brambles

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, who has let me share this piece here before he gifts it to the intended recipient for her wedding.

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 to squeeze him in but he'll likely be a separate dealio. Not sure exactly who will go where but I want to go full gothic garden for my birthday month. :D

First, we decided to do a little concept art of the male lead. We went for a buffer/beefier version and a more toned/slender look to see which she liked...

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 magic galore!
Option 2: A moody moonlit garden theme, with night blooming flowers winding around wrought iron.

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 him, I really feel he is lacking face paint in vanilla Skyrim. I was going to splatter him with blood but it would go against canon so I stayed my greedy hands. :(

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 terror most Drow have grown accustomed to. A refuge where the moon may be but a legend under the claustrophobia of endless cave systems, but a symbol of hope nonetheless. A sanctuary where her followers...

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 conceptual work than I normally do.
Particularly for Vhaeraun, official depictions of him are rather sparse. I find this kind of curious as I've always considered him to be kind of a part of a "big 3...

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 character and my Neverwinter Nights character are both "canon" cousins who worship Vhaeraun.
There is one bit of his lore, maybe a rumor, that Lolth scarred his face and is why he wears the mask. ...

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 of the week to show just how many hoops I had to jump through in order to feel like I've adequately depicted this duplicitous son of Lolth.
A portrait I've painted of him will be coming tomorrow,...
