Finally getting around to posting some illustrations I had the pleasure to paint for the book The Ashen Viper, by @joelee.bsky.social Starting out with dramatic almost-battle scene! Feeling very proud to have been part of this project. :)

Illustration painted for the book The Ashen Viper, by Joseph John Lee.

We see the interior of a medieval tavern, lit by warm lantern light. The door and several large windows are all barricaded with furniture dragged from around the tavern, but this hasn’t been enough to stop a horde of undead assassins from entering. Two characters, their back to the observer, are preparing to make a last stand against the assassins, one protecting the other.

Portrait view of a figure wearing a mysterious golden mask. She’s wearing a hooded black cloak. In front of her there’s an open book with glowing writing, she’s extending a hand gloved in black fabric towards it and the viewer, as if to read the words. Pages covered in glowing symbols float away from the book around her.

A ladybug clad in an armor made of leaves and flower petals stands on a large white flower. They’re wielding magic wands, a spellbook and a shield made out of a seed husk. White war paint adorns their face and shield. They are casting fire spells against a horde of wasps.

Tom Dale illustration @tdaleillustration.bsky.social · 4w ago

I was babysitting my brothers bunny earlier this summer and decided to paint her as a character that would fit into the MTG Bloomburrow plane, whilst taking ryan Pancoast's oils course. I used the 'Valley Questcaller' card as my design brief and this is what I came up with. Oils on aluminium 12x16"

A bunny character blowing a horn at sunrise to muster various animals to go on a quest. A bat, bird and mouse have all heeded the call. A white banner with a bunny paw icon blows in the wind

Illustration painted for the book "The Ashen Viper"

We see two men engaged in battle on a desolate field, scrawny trees around them and a city in the far distance.
They are dressed for combat, one wielding a longsword made of light in a defensive position, the other about to strike with twin blades made of shadow.

"The great hunt". Illustration piece I did for Paul Scott Canavan's mentorship. It represents an haunt scene, the hunter is mounting a big white tiger with piercing white eyes -sign that she's blind- which is roaring as she's sprinting through the action. The hunter has heavy clothing on, inspired by the Mongolian and Slavic clothing. He has long black hair moved by the wind, and he's holding a sword in his hand, ready to defend his wood. The environment is a snowy wood, old trees and branches all around the scene, as the white snow covers them. The sun is setting, and the overall atmosphere looks pinkish, lightened by the lights of the time of the day. Pink, yellow and blue shading on the sky, as the clouds move, forming interesting shapes.

A dramatic digital fantasy illustration depicting a figure with long, flowing dark hair and prominent vampire fangs stepping down a flight of stone stairs. They are wearing a long, dark tattered coat, a buckled vest or corset, and dark trousers. Their arms are outstretched, channeling vibrant, swirling purple magic from their hands.
The character is positioned in front of a stone archway that opens up to a misty, pale green forest. In the shadowy foreground on either side of the stairs, monchs with glowing purple eyes appear to be reacting to the magic. The overall atmosphere is dark, gothic, and action-oriented.

Crown King sitting on his throne of screaming skulls. He's surrounded by tangled trees in a horror and dark fantasy themed environment

The dinosaur has green and yellow feathers and wait for something. Around them there are many other dinosaur, mostly
