"Xanathar, the Beholder". Bow to the crime Lord of Waterdeep! Some personal work, I've always wanted to paint a beholder from DnD, they're so fun! #illustration #illustrator #art #artist #fantasy #creaturedesign #characterdesigner #coneptartist #dungeonsanddragons

A beholder looks down on a seemingly rich, tied-up man, held by an orc henshman. Next to Xanathar, a mind flayer and of course, his goldfish in a floating bowl.

Aeromancy, for Oberant. And with that, I think it's time for me to take a break from this project, for now. I want to explore other things, other worlds, maybe I'll linger in Faerûn for a little while... More adventures to be had, stay tuned! #magic #fantasy #art #illustration #oc

A stylized depiction of a mage wielding a swirling wind. Beside it, a text that reads : " Aeromancy. Air magic is very widespread among Re mages. Because air is everpresent, it is easy to connect with, making it the perfect element to learn magic. Incredibly useful and with a moderate destructive power, Aeromancy is one the few magics allowed in urban areas. It is unmatched at repelling enemies, and pushing them away.
In conjunction with water-speaking, Aeromancy has massively contributed to Selhumar’s success on the seas, filling the sails with powerful winds in an otherwise still air.
Air is considered as a sacred element, as it is said to carry the vibrations of the Harmonium. The most attuned air-speakers have the power of foresight, as they can hear the slight disturbances in the Harmonium, and anticpate events to come."

Fariel and Remiel, 2 of the Orphan Three. For my Worlbuilding project Oberant. #art #illustration #fantasy #oc #worldbuilding #creaturedesign #magic #music

Two giant golems walking down a grassy slope. One looks like a trombone, the other one like a harp. In the background, a pillar of light reaching the sky attracts the clouds around it. Near the golems, a sheperd an her sheeps mind their own business, not worried by the giants nearby

Artist, QRP with art on the theme of "hidden / treacherous"! Here's a Mimic I did for the MCDM's rpg 😊 #art #illustration #ttrpg #dnd #fantasy #characterdesign

Three adventurers are about to walk through a door. The one opening it goes in confidently, smirking at the other 2 behind him. He doesn't see that the door is actually a Mimic, and he's about to be eaten. The other 2 gasp in surprise and fear.

Freelance artists/illustrators real question : how do you go about reaching out to clients to remind them you are available? I do it every now and then bc I'm scared of being forgotten and overlooked in a sea of talented artists, but at the same time, I always worry abt being annoying. Thoughts?

I used to not be a cat person. Calcifer turned me into a cat person. I blame him entirely. It's his fault.
