I took some time yesterday and today to do a little #MTG alter, inspired by @howardlyonart.bsky.social’s challenge on his Patreon! 🎨 I’ve been wanting to do some Astarion art since BG3 came out, and I’m happy to finally have the opportunity to do so! 🧛🏻‍♂️♥️

Another image from the shoot. The haze is from a fog machine and back light. The beautiful McKenna and styling by @s0alaina.bsky.social 🤩

I am enjoying approaching photography as an artform and not just as reference. I also love working with extraordinary people. McKenna, the model, is one of those people. So is Alaina @s0alaina.bsky.social - who did the hair and styling. The world is a more beautiful place because of both of them ❤️

My weekly portrait for #SylBootcamp @sylessae.bsky.social I feel like I’m gaining more confidence as the constant practice pays off.

The fruits of my latest study (in comments), practice for my forever-upcoming project. Who would like illistrations of women as the 12 usual ttrpg classes in a classical style, with historically inspired outfits, for tokens & spell cards and such? :) A hennin turns into a wizard hat so easily

More studies Due to the dearth of classical portraiture of Black people I instead used some video processes to help inform my treatment of her skin, and instead did my quick master study on cloth

A photo study from some years ago, that I still like. Reference from @howardlyonart.bsky.social's Josephine photo set.

My wife @sharilyonart.bsky.social bought me the coolest little fog machine for Christmas. It is small enough to fit in a pot like this and let the fog seep out. Photo from an upcoming reference pack!

Bought another @howardlyonart.bsky.social ‘s reference pack today. Here’s an ink study of McKenna Witchy series. Putting that 01 Micron pen to work 😆. #art #drawing #sketchbook #ink #figureart #witch

2nd ink study from @howardlyonart.bsky.social ‘s McKenna Witchy reference pack. Lesson I learned from this one is I shouldn’t bring the figure right up against the right edge of my sketchbook because I’ll lose support to my hand. #art #figureart #drawing #ink #sketchbook #witch #dance

It's so satisfying to paint people. I feel, without a drop of cynicism, that we are beautiful creatures and a manifestation of the glory of nature. #painting #oilpainting #figurativeart (Reference photo from @howardlyonart.bsky.social)

Trying to not break my streak. Here is another ink drawing. Unlike pencil, ink is very unforgiving so you have to make every mark count. @howardlyonart.bsky.social ‘s reference continue to deliver. This time from the Sarah - Paladin series.

Some quick learning happening today, with some long term project applications 👀 Thanks @howardlyonart.bsky.social for the reference!

Opted for just ink this time. It was really freeing and made me pay extra attention to how forms related to each other in space. Only about 15min spent on this one. Model reference from @howardlyonart.bsky.social ‘s “Kira - Classical & Contemporary” set. #art #sketchbook #ink #drawing

Not a fan of working this small with such highly textured paper. Might have to go get a new sketchbook and leave this one for wet media. Another @howardlyonart.bsky.social reference pack study. Sarah “Crimson Queen”, drawn in the waiting room of my kid’s dance class. #art #sketch

I found all three covers! I thought maybe I had lost the files when an older hard drive crashed years ago - done for David Farland's series, the Ben Ravenspell Trilogy. Miss you, Dave!

One of my early commissions was to do book covers for a trilogy of books for David Farland. The series is the Ben Ravenspell Trilogy. Dave has since passed away, far too young, but I look back so fondly on this opportunity. I need to find the art for the third one!

Another image from the same shoot with @artmodel-sarah.bsky.social I accidentally overexposed the shot, but when converted to black-and-white, I think it works pretty well, even with the highlights on her face blown out a bit.
