A couple of portrait studies to practice brushwork and find out how to channel my inner Sargent.
Hello there, #PortfolioDay! I'm Simon, illustrator & concept artist from Germany and enjoyer of all things fantastical. I'm always open for opportunities. For business inquiries feel free to contact me anytime via: 📩 simonpapeart@outlook.com 🎨 simonpape.com
Repost time! I can't believe it has been 2 years since I made this piece amongst many others for Daggerheart. Time flies.
Dracula, Transylvanian Terror (Lurking) Another one of the card illustrations I made for NBC Universal's and Spin Master's upcoming TCG Hellbreak. There is a flip mechanic in Hellbreak and this is the base version of the same card I shared on tuesday. AD: Anthony Jones (@robotpencil.bsky.social)

Beginnings. A couple of 2 minute thumbnails for my next piece in the Book of Gods series. As a piece of content this will probably tank, but I want to share it anyways because I think the early chaos is such a fun part of the process.
ZEUS. This illustration is the start of a series for one of my personal projects about ancient mythologies. It's a huge undertaking, but on the flip side I won't run out of ideas anytime soon. 😃 © Simon Pape
Repost time! This is the Wayfinder subclass (Ranger) illustration I made in 2024 for the Daggerheart base game. Still holds up quite well I think! AD: @robotpencil.bsky.social
Sneak peak of what I'm currently working on. I had to channel the derp. Sorry, not sorry.
Graphite Poseidon. Different technique, same theme. Maybe there's more to this? Nobody knows. :D

Notan Zeus. After 2 months of just life happening and not much art, I want to get back to posting more regularly. There's a bigger art drop of all the NDA stuff I've been working on coming later this year, but until then it's going to be more experimental stuff just because it's fun. :)
Just finished ⚔️A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms⚔️ and boy does this show deliver. Not only is it really well acted, directed and produced. It also manages to present something that seems to be severely lacking in our current times: Honor.
Unveiling the Mystery #5 Concept and value comp sketches I made for a private commission back in spring 2024. Back then I learned the hard way how important good preparation and a clear process actually is. Experiment A LOT early on to peel away the bad ideas. Yes, I skipped that part then. haha
I can finally share the illustration I made for Katee Roberts (@kateerobert.com) new book series "The Tarot Trials". It was such a blast painting this piece, even though it was a bit of a challenge (as group compositions always are) and I feel I almost broke the color wheel in the process. :D
Unveiling the Mystery #4 Almost forgot the final result. 😅 After all the prep work it really only is a matter of painting until it's done. No AI, no bs, just plain old painting. FYI, I don't think I'm the best artist out there, far from it, but maybe this BTS can still help someone out there.
