Rope Bridge Night Animated

Rope Bridge - Still Image

This is one of those location that a party of mine has come across quite a few times in various adventures, so I thought it deserved its own location scene. There is so much you can do with a rickety bridge to challenge the players, an ambush, broken planks, or of course just collapsing the whole thing from under them. I also...

Fallen Titan Night Animated

Fallen Titan - Still Image

A very cool and unique location this week in collaboration with The Reclusive Cartographer! We came up with this idea of an ancient and dead titan that has been opened up by a group of goblins, kobolds, or other small folk who are interes...

Fernbloom's Guide to Freebone Vale Kickstarter!

I wanted to just give a small shoutout to a Kickstarter campaign that launches today by a friend of mine. Tim has used a bunch of my art in the past in his adventure books and has again used a lot of my scenes to give some vibrancy to the world he has created in this guide. I have read and played a couple of his adventures in...

Spider Cave - Still Image

Spiders are always something that an adventuring party is fighting off, and I've had this idea for a while, and Halloween kicked me into motion with it. It seems like almost a right of passage for a party to fight some giant spiders, so I hope this will do. I try to make these cave, or travel scenes like a taste of things to ...

Black Market Night Animated

Black Market - Still Image

Another fun one this week that I got to do in collaboration with a great map creator, Darkest Maps. I have been a fan of their maps for a while and we got the chance to work together this month, and I think the map they made, and the MANY variations o...

Dark Prison - Still Image

I love a good prison heist, and that is the next session in my own campaign, so I had to make a this scene that I think comes up in a lot of games. And I also like the idea of a decrepit place where prisoners are thrown to rot forever. Somewhere that the screams of the inmates will go forgotten.

And we're lucky enough t...

Sunken Ship - Still Image

Now, we're all so lucky on this one because I got to work on an amazing collaboration with 3 other very talented creators, and we almost came up with an entire adventure for this location! Firstly I have wanted to make a sunken ship scene for quite a long time, and so I thought a big collaboration was the perfect time for suc...

Apple Orchard - Still Image

Since it's harvest season I wanted to paint a scene inspired by all that's around me. I recently was also reminded of all the additional possible locations from Lost mines of Phandelver and Dragon of Icespire Peak, and one of those being the apple orchard in Phandelver. So, I thought it was quite fitting. Maybe this is anothe...

I've been asked for quite a while if I would do any Strixhaven locations, and I got the opportunity this month with another collaboration with Jacob from XP to Level 3, and their Strixhaven stream on Arcane Arcade. He helped me with...

James' RPG Art Trailer.

I just wanted to share the trailer I recently finished for the Patreon, not to advertise to patrons, but mostly to share the awesome soundtrack I received from Filip Melvan and Michael Ghelfi Studios. They have done some work with me before and they really made this one feel like a movie, so I just had to share it with you al...

Mountain Hunting Lodge - Still Image

I have had something like this location on my mind for a while, and my party might be heading this way soon, so I had to visualize it. I heavily based the design of the hunting lodge on Falcons hunting lodge from Dragon of Icespire Peak, which I think has a couple of unique elements to it, including the stone tower and the wo...

Airship - Still Image

I got the chance to do an amazing collaboration this week with a couple of other Patreon creators. I have admired the artwork and creatures of The Fluffy Folio for quite a while, and they made the Spiking Spear Sparrow to go along with my airship...
