Hello BlueSky! After years long social media posting hiatus (I fell for that AI bro narrative, NGL, I fell for it!) I figured it's time to get back in there and keep doing what I do. Which is... #commissions! They're quick, don't break the bank *and* fun to make! If interested, send me a chat! 📫

I painted this portrait of Sir Morien a while ago. He was yet another badass of the Round Table, half-brother to Sir Percival, and could deflect spears and arrows with his sword in the middle of combat, like a frickin' medieval jedi.

Ahhhhh maybe I will. Norse gods are pretty cool

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Ah cos of the eye? It does infringe on Odin's vibe, you're right

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

I find mythology interesting, so a while back while reading I had the sudden urge to paint Thor-but-bionic-arms. So I did and here he is. I also made him thick af, perhaps too thick. Is he too thick? I don't know if I'll do any other norse gods. Maybe

Thank you dude! The key with the capes is to just throw logic out of the window and do whatever you want, haha

And I say unto him 'No, I have client work to do', and cast him back into the pit. There he must battle with all the other half-finished monsters of my imagination, to either once more claw his way to the surface, or die in the shadows.

From the deepest darkest depths of the WIP folders of doom, a knight crawls, clinging to life. He looks up at me, and holding his sword aloft, begs for me to bless him with some time in the light.

I think this guy was the first time I realised I could just *not* paint a background, and people would still be into it. I even drew attention to the lack of background, by making his cape disappear into it, and people actually praised it! So I've been riding that ever since

Shamefully, I had to Google this to figure out what on earth you were talking about

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Super cool client! Wish he'd stuck around, haha. And thank you

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Thank you, I hadn't heard that joke in a while and I was starting to worry id lost my touch

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Thank you, I'll have to see if I can find that tarot set!

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Every now and then I'm lucky enough to have a commission that just kinda... lets me do whatever I want. If I remember right, this client just asked me to paint the Grim Reaper, however I felt like representing him. Coolest job in the world? Maybe

Just a close-up of a thing I'm working on, in which Sir Balin features as a central character and draws a cursed blade, unleashing a great doom upon the kingdom and spiraling the land into catastrophic consequences that would echo through centuries... Also shiny shiny shoulder!

A D&D commission from.... 2019? 2020? After my 'struggling-to-be-an-art-streamer' phase, I went through a period of doing a lot of characters for D&D players, and they basically enabled me to become a full-time freelancer

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Hesperus, God of the Evening Star Painted this guy a while back, when I was investigating Greek mythology a little, and also admiring Pete Mohrbacher's Angelarium artwork. Been tempted a couple times to paint some more characters and turn it into a series

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Cover I painted for Michael Michel's The Price of Power. I've heard the series is really solid, but when is it going to come out on audiobook?! 😭

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Thank you 😁 I hope I get to paint them a bunch more

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

'Voidscarred', another one for Games Workshop/Black Library! I used to collect Eldar, so naturally this one was super cool to paint for them.

We don't talk about the WIP folder 🫠

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Aaaaah I don't feel that way about it at all 😅 people seem to like it so I want to give it a chance, but otherwise I'm really not happy with it

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

I wish I could take credit, but I lifted those colours from the heraldries of the knights of Orkney!

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Haha, fiiiiiiiiiine, I guess I'll do it

010

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

I put this one away in the WIP folder a while back; I really like the energy and the absurd fabric, but I'm not happy with my choices for the armour at all, and I think the pose could be pushed further. I think with some repainting and reposing it could turn out alright

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

My first ever piece for Games Workshop, painted a couple years ago! The cover of Shade of Khaine; this was pretty much a dream come true, Warhammer has always been important to me since I was a kid, and gratefully I've done many more paintings for them since

An old sketch that I like a lot and swear that one day I'll do something with it AND I STILL HAVEN'T

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

The Crimson Dagger; this one's an old'un but golden! Still quite like the composition

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Thank you so much, you are far too kind!

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

A thing I've been messing with! Got carried away with brush experimentation on his armour, forgot to work on everything else....

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Practicing with some custom brushes and this guy came out.... and I have a good idea how to use him

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Sir Gawain, everyone knows him for the Green Knight story, but apparently he was also quite a ladies man, if his title 'The Maiden's Knight' is any indication. Also he's superhuman; when the sun is highest in the sky, it invigorates him with super strength. More than meets the eye!

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

It's about 7500px wide by 5000 tall. I should put out some timelapses someday....

Endpaper I painted for the Broken Binding special edition of The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist. Had a good time with this one!

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Ahh now that's an interesting idea. I'll take a mental note of that, thanks

Hello wonderful ppl! As of April I will have time for new projects and possible personal commissions. I've recently had a few ppl inquire about those and I would love to get back to it this year! Only so many images can fit here so do check portfolio at dzeljka.artstation.com zeljka.d92@gmail.com

It just feels a little bit underwhelming I guess. An angel should feel like a demigod from a greater realm! Something with unfathomable power, that thinks and perceives at a higher level than humanity, and understands the larger plan. My art feels too human in comparison

110

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Yeah, I agree with those as an issue, but for me personally while it isn't quite angelic enough, it also isn't disturbing enough! It's a little too human and earthly

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Thank you, that was one part I was happy with!

I have no idea what The Shrike is! Hyperion reference?
