Process breakdown for the previous piece. Tight turnaround, but it pushed me to find ways to work faster without losing clarity.

Another book cover for the series. Reworked the gun style to better suit the author’s vision.

Here’s the process for the rat cover! Fun exploring poses and expressions for this little reader.

Another book cover for the series. This one was made for a side story, with the rat reading the main series. I strive to be as relaxed as this rat.

Process video for the dragon cookie book cover. Early on, the dragon felt more like a demon, so I adjusted the design to better fit a female dragon.

econd cover for the series. Drawing a dragon and a giant cookie was way more fun than expected.

Book cover test I did for a series. Quick turnaround, so the process files didn’t survive this one.

Wanted to practice book cover design. Focused a lot on readability and experimented with some typography along the way.

Got busy with some Commisons!
But will be back to posting!

Final character in the commission, a dryad druid with a naive spirit and a strong sense of wanderlust.

Fourth character for the commission, a goblin mage with a very mischievous personality. Loved making the smile.

Third character in the Final Fantasy inspired set. A cheeky tiefling bard. Emphasis on the Cheeky

Second character in the Final Fantasy inspired set. The challenge here was capturing an uncertain expression.

Got commissioned to do some DND portraits in a Final Fantasy cover style. Line art isn’t my strongest skill, so this was definitely a challenge. This is the first character!

Two character commissions with spider-inspired Aztec skeletons. Unfortunately lost the process files, but I still loved working on these.

Final part 3 of the process, all about rendering. A lot of time went into refining the details, and it really drove home how important the prep stage is.

Part 2, focused on figuring out the values and color scheme of the piece. Learned some techniques that really helped.

Thought it would be neat to share the starting sketches and references I used while painting this fire mage. Always interesting to see how ideas take shape.

This is a colored knife render. It was interesting learning how to clearly separate the rust from the colored metal surfaces.

Bone knife render. Weird material but a fun learning experience.

More complex gold key render. This one taught me a lot about control and refinement. Had a lot of fun with this one.
