'The Great Hunt' End result after 8 weeks of Paul Scott Canavan's (@abigbat.bsky.social) Mastering Imaginative Realism mentorship course. Highly recommend his course! He's an extremely cool and knowledgeable mentor and I can't thank him enough for his guidance. SP

Sup, #PortfolioDay! My name is Simon. I'm an Illustrator & Concept Artist based in Germany, currently working primarily in the fantasy ttrpg & book publishing sector. I'm always eager to learn new stuff and see what's around the next corner! I also like pizza.

Work in progress for the mentorship with the ridiculously entertaining @abigbat.bsky.social featuring the protagonist of my hobby novel and her pet/warmount #illustration

HOT TAKE: If a recruiter's or an AD's primary metric for their hiring decision is your follower count on socials, then they are either looking for free promotion on your end or they very clearly don't know what they are doing.
