Oh wow! Long time no see! My state finally decided to allow access to bsky again. Here's a hotly debated picture of Spider-UK I did for Magic: The Gathering to celebrate!

The Dancer - artist's extended cut. Another expanded image for playmats!
The Leftbehind - Extended director's cut. I've been expanding some past images to use as playmats and it's a joy revisiting these compositions with a wider ratio.
Above the Garden This interior from Darkness at Sethanon brought me full circle. I attempted to paint this scene as a project when I was in school years and years ago. Imagine my surprise being tasked with illustrating it again all these years later! Hopefully I've learned something since then!
An interior image from A Darkness at Sethanon! published by The Broken Binding. The first reunion between Tomas and Pug after many years, along with a new face- the mighty dragon Ryath.
Lastly for The Broken Binding release of Silverthorn- a dark vision of a would-be future if things go the wrong direction leading up to book 3.
The next interior illustration for Silverthorn by Raymond E. Feist from @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social . At the altar on his wedding day, Prince Arutha reaches for Princess Anita as she collapses — struck by an assassin’s arrow. Laced with the deadly Silverthorn poison.
Continuing the journey through the Riftwar series by Raymond E. Feist, we now move into the next edition from The Broken Binding—Silverthorn! Here we see Father Tully destroying a possessed and seemingly invincible dark elf.
The Longing At the end of a shattered and overgrown road The Longing remains. Though her world crumbles, she still stands- not in defiance, nor in grief— but yearning. Some say she still remembers a promise the moon made, long ago.
Lastly, for the new Magician release from The Broken Binding, here’s an interior illustration of Pug—now known as Milamber—descending from a high tower to another platform after his magical training.
Another interior from Magician by Raymond E. Feist: Tomas in his full suit of dragon-styled plate armor holding the line with dwarven allies. We really wanted to capture the smile on Tomas' face as he gives in to a possessed battle-frenzy.
Another interior from Magician by Raymond E. Feist! The mighty and fearsome Ashen-Shugar awaits his dragon. A vision of the past seen by Tomas who wears the same armor.
"Young Pug Casts a Spell" As announced, I had the opportunity to work on interior images for a beautiful special-edition release of Magician and other Riftwar books by Raymond E. Feist for @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social! As they release, I can show off some images.
Artist Proofs of some of my cards for the Tarkir set are now available on my website! www.allenmorrisart.com/magic-the-ga...
Mask of Memory Created for the Magic: The Gathering, Universes Beyond- Final Fantasy Set. Few moments in gaming history are as seared into memory as this one. When Sephiroth tears away the angelic mask hiding Jenova’s grotesque truth, it marks a spiritual rupture—his final break from humanity.
Scholar of New Horizons. Created for the Magic: The Gathering, Universes Beyond- Final Fantasy Set. Specifically, it's an Al Bhed travel agent from the Mi'ihen Highroad branch of Rin’s Travel Agency. Fans may recognize the near-exact recreation of the left corner of the shop interior.
Created for the Magic: The Gathering, Universes Beyond- Final Fantasy Set. A charging human soldier from Final Fantasy X1V, an online multiplayer addition of the series.
Adventurer's Inn Created for the Magic: The Gathering- Final Fantasy Set. An adventurer’s inn in the style of Final Fantasy III—or really, any inn from the storied history of Final Fantasy.
Fetid Heath Created for the Magic: The Gathering- Final Fantasy Set. An undead and ghostly forest landscape from one of my favorite titles in the series- Final Fantasy Vi. A few of our heroes stumble into the seemingly endless Phantom Forest before facing the Phantom Train, itself.
Sunpearl Kirin Another for Magic: The Gathering's release of Tarkir: Dragonstorm. A kirin with white and gold scale patterning- a symbol of luck prancing through dark skies. Here, it serves as a beacon to the Storm Crane Monastery, following behind.
I finally finished signing for The Wounded Land from the Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant! As a celebration, I thought I'd share the cover painting. The Wounded Land
The Queen of the World Another in my series of statues. The Queen stands above the overgrowth, the creeping vines and thorns. She steps fearless toward another open horizon, bathed in countless twilights. Some say she dances under the stars. Her scars are beginning to show.
Introducing: Signature Series. Each month I'll be releasing a signature print from my portfolio for a limited time at half it's normal sale price. These may include one-time specials or work I no longer showcase. www.allenmorrisart.com/products/sig...
The Golden Hour Whether it's the light shooting through your blinds in the golden afternoon to warm your room, or streaming through the trees to wake the forest floor, the golden hour in the evening sun is the most magnificent time of day to experience.
"The Mapmaker" The full painting from my previous post. For every every new road, there were those that came first to lead the way. The wanderers, the movers, and the mapmakers blaze trails ahead like arrows into the unknown.
Prepping for upcoming showcases and managing inventory—fun fact: being a professional artist involves way more spreadsheets than anyone warns you about!
~~ The Dancer ~~ I came upon the dancer in the woods. It was as if she paused when she noticed. Some say the trees lean to watch her glide, that the leaves fall to keep up, that the bluebirds are her envoys.
