Here's the cover illustration of Astarion by @tkingfisher.com , a Baldur's Gate 3 novel, that I had the immense pleasure of painting for Penguin Random House and Wizards of the Coast! Cheers, darling! 🥂

Lucanis Week pieces 🗡️ Wyvern | Family | A moment's peace #DragonAge #LucanisDellamorte

Theree Dragon Age: Inquisition tarot styled piece featuring Lucanis, and on one Lucanis and Illario, from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. First piece shows Lucanis leaning against a white wyvern. He is seemingly asleep and appearing at peace. They both are surrounded by various plants. Second piece shows Lucanis and Illario standing back to back, with their hands entwined and dripping with blood. Lucanis has several daggers in his chest and Illario holds one. Third piece shows Lucanis laying down in an endless field of Brona's Bloom. He seemingly is peacefully asleep, but a sword protrudes from his side.

Barely talked about it but it's an idea I want to keep alive, so here's a sketch for my idea of "classical classes." Presenting the 12 main ttrpg classes in a more grounded way. All women too. Paladin idea is coming together nicely. Early 14th century armor, other classes will have "older" stuff

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Lyn, a freelance illustrator and thrive on drawing fancily dressed characters stewing in inner turmoil 🌊 I'd love to work on bookcovers and endpapers one day! 💼 myportfolio.iamagtools.com/u/lynaiss 💌 Lynaiss(at)outlook(dot)com #art #fantasyart #illustration #bookcover

Dragon Age: Inquisition tarot styled piece featuring Gray Warden Duncan from Dragon Age: Origins. With his forehead pressed into his hand and a regretful expression, he is holding a cup that resembles a joining chalice but he is not looking at it. The chalice is tilted down in his grasp, the contents spilling out like a waterfall. Two more chalices are overturned in the background that seems to be melting away. Another two more crowd behind him, upright, and seem like they have gushing water out of them. A part of the landscape behind him is slowly being eaten away by the blight. The illustration mimics Five of Cups tarot card.

Image containing three separate Dragon Age: Inquistion tarot styled pieces. They are:

1) A piece of Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard lying in a field of blue flowers, seemingly asleep, with a sword stuck in his torso.

2) A piece of Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard holding up a sword and a hand over his chest as if in a knightly oath.

3) A piece of Lucanis and Illario Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard standing back to back, hands interwoven and dripping blood.

Image containing three separate Dragon Age: Inquistion tarot styled pieces. They are:

1) A piece of Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. He is atop a horse, charging forward with a sword in hand and a determined expression. The illustration mimics Knight of Swords tarot card.

2) A piece of player character and Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. They are leaning against one another, with their eyes closed, and seeming at peace. Rook is seemingly spilling a joining chalice, and it's dark ichor is slowly pooling beneath them. They are surrounded with a watery looking environment.

3) A piece of The Viper (Ashur) from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. He is driving his staff into the ground and seemingly cleaving in half the Venatori staves rising up from the ground, while batting away another one with his hand. His expression is resolute but he is not even looking at his enemy. The illustration mimics Seven of Wands tarot card.

Hi #portfolioday I'm Zara, a Canadian artist working mainly on Magic: The gathering and painting for myself in my free time 🖤

“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

“Medusa Portrait” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso. A portrait of a young Medusa who looks peacefully towards the viewer, her hair is flowing mass of thick iridescent dark indigo snakes tied up in a head wrap.

"Winternight Stories” is an oil painting by the artist Zara Alfonso, done for the Magic: The Gathering Tarkir: Dragonstorm. An orc stands in the middle of a small crowd, telling a story of the battle against dragons with a swirl of watery blue magic.

Achilles and Patroclos, standing next to each other in front of a raging fire. Achilles is outfitted for battle and looks wistfully into the distance, while Patroclos ties some laces of his armor, also looking sad. Behind them and above there's the mosaic of a warrior in his chariot.
