I painted this Magical Mishap Explosion for the shadowdark zine Servants of the Dragon Lord by @grimgames.bsky.social

A colored illustration of a magical explosion of a caster. A bunch of goblins and a fellow adventurer get atomized by the sheer force of uncontrolled magic.
It’s colored in green, red and bright yellow

An illustration of a ruined overgrown watchtower in front of a dark night sky. The moon is a bright yellow disc that seems to run out as a liquid and forming a little stream which runs over a cliff onto a knight in rusty armor sitting in the darkness.
He has red eyes and a flower in one hand
