Second illustration from Cynthia Sheppard’s course at Smarter Artschool. The focus was on showing the story through characters interactions. I struggled a lot with ideas for the second part of the course, but I like what I came up with.

I'm excited to share that I'm part of the Magic: The Gathering, In Miniature III show at Gallery Nucleus! I oil painted three artist proofs for the show, and two of them sold during the preview 🖤 #art #oilpainting #traditionalart #mtgart
I know everyone are just as tired as me after the past several years (esp last one). We don’t want fire, destruction or any more life changing events that would make us stronger. So my fire horse is more of a celestial fire, giving hope, strength and resilience 💜 I hope we can get through this.
For book 3 and wrapping up my Mistborn fanart series: a portrait of Elend that I've always wanted to do 👓🖤 First challenge of the year done 📚 #art #fantasyart #mistborn #cosmere

Really, why would anyone analyze planes themselves? Not like it’s a useful exercise that helps you get better in the process, is it?
Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.
My first illustration from Cynthia Sheppard’s course in Smarter Artschool I have two more still cooking :3 The course was a blast! Cynthia is a fantastic teacher and a very empathetic person. I loved everything: the info, the approach, the feedback sessions. So yeah, highly recommended!

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more
Hi everyone! I’m Irina, freelance fantasy illustrator based in Spain. I love painting gloomy mysterious things, powerful ladies and wings :3
Let it be my first post here! This house is a part of my bigger personal project. Someday I’ll give a name for this project :D
This year summary! It did had its challenges, but it wasn’t too bad. I made two more traditional paintings, so at least I’m crawling in the right direction. Next year I hope to focus on faces and creatures. And do some more traditional ofc, but life isn’t helping.
Every cover for an Oracle, Tailor, Curator trilogy by Halli Starling.
I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.
The cover for Incarner, a final book in Oracle, Tailor, Curator trilogy by Halli Starling. The book is open for pre-orders and out on January 12th, 2026.
My artworks for ATLA x MtG! I’m myself a fan of the show so it was an exciting opportunity and a very interesting style experiment. I’m honored to illustrate such important cards for EDH :33 I’m just a bit sad they are so hard to get :DD still hope to see some of them at the shows!
My alt cover for @joeyesposito.bsky.social and @pandamusk.bsky.social MADAM comic book, now on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/joe...
Now that I've recovered from my cold and isn't sneezing my brains out, I finally managed to finish up my piece from @paulscottcanavan.com 's mentorship :D Knew I wanted to paint a horse, so decided to draw some inspiration from the wild hunt folklore and ended up with bonus doggies.
Some of the proofs I made at MagicCon Atlanta. Thank you everyone who came say hi :3

Well he just learns not from experts but from his friend putin who named all kinds of words and letters like “LGBTQ+” and “child free” undesirable organizations. I do hope US still has institutions able to oppose this.
TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
