A banner for an online event. The client refereed to Brian Froud's illustrations of goblins for the look of these little babies. I LOVE THEM, Froud's work is so creative and playful and vivid I'm so excited to explore the colours and lighting here, too!

I wish I could share this publicly, but my commissionee has vanished. As I can't contact them or collect the outstanding payment, this piece is trapped in the abyss! Honestly, I am scared that something terrible has happened to this commissionee, and in this world, something bad could have happened! I really hope they're okay.
Anyway...

A concept, a feeling. While doing research on local manufacturers (I wanna get my pins made locally!) I found more information on card deck manufacturing and one of the things I so so want to do in the future is design and print my own tarot deck. Stuff feels more achievable now. And with covid keeping us inside and locked away, I'm missing my f...

piece 4 of a batch of 4! A lovely patron of mine commissioned of her party! The campaign setting is on a tropical island so I really wanted to experiment with colour and lighting. We've got a backlit sunset! Very romantic, yes!?

The headless horseman of Irish folklore. She rides in the night, her severed head cradled in a saddle bag. Where she rides, she carries a portent of death. If she steers her horse to a halt before you, that is where you shall die. If she calls your name, it's already too late.
I have ambitious plans for this piece! I want to have it ...

Something I need too, something we all need!It was so touching to be approached for this piece because sexuality and defiance of western gender roles!!! I enjoy it!

This is a commission for a lovely dear patron of mine! They let me loose with the prompt: A Wicked Heart... And here we have where I took it. I know my patron's heart is full of his pets and the animals in his life, past and present! And I couldn't shake the wolf I saw, like he's so strong and powerful blood seems to flow through his veins. ...

A Circle of Spores! Druid! My client approached me with this interesting concept that they wanted fleshed out!! I adored the idea of mushroomy hair, the reflection of spores and fungi in this dame's appearance. I hope fungi is reflected in her personality, too!
I am enchanted by this wolfy maw as I work on this WIP!

I really enjoyed this piece! It was a really good exercise in conditional lighting and simple planes of light! Ah! And there is a beautiful joy in illustration older faces. It's so nice to get carried away in the lines of age and wisdom!
Having a lot of fun with this one, a GW2 character. This composition is inspired by the tower card. I am having so much fun I can't wait to get back to work on this darling!
Hope you're well, lovelies!

Ellie. She's a shipwright! But at sea... She struggles! The adventure, the waves! She was not built for it but she is called to act, to adventure! Maybe she's still stuck in the refusal stage of the heroes journey. We know that when campaigns kick up, your character is often thrust into uncomfortable situations. Safe journeys, Ellie! ...

I hope y'all are well, I'm slowly trickling through my commission backlog. Quarantine broke me somewhat there, and I'm just working on getting back on track with work and mental health.
My dears, how have you been going?

A sweet and wonderful roleplayer commissioned me for this SWEETIE oh my gosh. I've had an unexpectedly hard week, but jumping in and working on this bright beam of sunshine.
Thank you so much for this commission.
I came out of a hard week and found twitter in a state of uprising for justice for George Floyd. So I wont be posting this to twitter or social media right now, because I don't want to obscure any information or truth that will help protesters. A large number of my friends and family are american and right now? I just want to elevate POC message...

I've been doing a lot more logo design work of late! I'm pretty happy with these babies! I feel a lot more confident when it comes to design work these days. I think I've become very adaptive in my learning and flexibility with this sort of work.
