Today I have a portrait of "Lilly" done for a recent commission! I had a lot of fun with this one, and it actually had a bit of watercolor underpainting in it, which was fun to get back to for a bit. (It will be on a playmat in the near future, and I will post more about that when it releases!)

I am also experimenting with different layouts for presentation of these alien creatures. Let me know what you think of this current layout. These characters are in-game assets, so this layout format s...

Today I have a new (and very small) sinister martian to share with you. Though quite small, the Leviath have an oversized sense of self-importance. They are given to piracy and the use of unlicensed electrical weaponry. Quite recently discovered, not much is known about them.
Here is a shot of some of the d...

THE PROMPT:
"The Feline Fire Drake"
Very little is written of these mythical creatures in the historical texts. Yet, while the written records are largely silent, there are however, many curious visual depictions appearing amidst the pages of illuminated manuscripts. From these i...
