Angel token for MtG: Reality Fracture, AD: Zack Stella! It's the only card I painted for this set and it's not even technically Reality Fracture, but I love New Capenna angels so I'm thrilled I had the chance to paint one :)

And the second endpaper I painted for To Steal a Throne by Gabi Burton, as part of its Book in a Box special edition! The scene in this one was a great opportunity to paint contrasts between cool and warm tones, with some good old Heat Sandwiches (TM)! (details below)

The Mountain, one of the two endpapers I've painted for Gabi Burton's novel To Steal a Throne, as part of a special edition by Book in a Box! I don't paint cities all that often, so this was a challenge... Still, I enjoyed playing with values here to convey the ominous, wintery atmosphere.

The Bookshop Below: cover illustration for an @illumicrate.bsky.social special edition of @georgiasummers.bsky.social's novel! Another book cover where I played with symbolism to convey story elements in an hopefully non-spoilery way! I'll add close-ups below :)

The Reading: endpaper illustration for Steven Erikson's Dust of Dreams, as part of The Broken Binding's special edition of the Malazan Book of the Fallen! It's one of my favourite fantasy series so I was thrilled to work on it. Huge thanks to @petrikleo.bsky.social for trusting me with this piece!

Look at this Nasty Little Rabbit! This bunny looks friendly and fun but it is actually the mastermind behind a coordinated attack on Beorn's carrots, known in history books as the battle of five rabbits. It was very nasty business. (for MtG: the Hobbit, AD: Colin Boyer.)

Beorn's Hospitality MtG: the Hobbit, AD: Colin Boyer. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to paint Beorn, I love that big grumpy vegetarian guy and his animal friends 💚 I'll add some close-ups (as well as the card) below, so you can look at the details and approve of Bilbo's sense of priorities!

The card illustration in question :) Desolation Prowler, painted for MtGxThe Hobbit, AD: Colin Boyer. Look at this cute little black-aligned warg, I'm sure it's only following someone's bloody trail to make new friends 🖤 I had a lot of fun with "oily" colours on that one!

Hasbro have apparently hired a notorious union-busting firm in response to the Magic the Gathering Arena teams attempt at unionisation - Reddit mods have deleted the post If you haven't please sign the unions petition actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl...

A Reddit Post

Hasbro just hired a notorious union-busting firm
News
I've been tracking the NLRB filing for the new Arena Union (UWOTC-CWA) since they announced on Monday. The devs gave Hasbro until this Friday (International workers day) to voluntarily recognize them.
In response, Hasbro hired a well known union busting firm Fisher Phillips, to oversee this debacle.
WoTC also responded to the news with this statement which is riddled with anti union wording (in my opinion) such as the "we are a family" vibe and also "direct relationship with our employees"
Hopefully, Hasbro/WoTC is just using this firm as a "how to not screw everything up" instead of actually attempting to fight the imminent union.
Anyways, please support your devs in their efforts to unionize.

Random thought, but: I'd love to create a full set of "in-universe" illustrations for a book. Whether it's Feyre's drawings in ACOTAR or Ormulogun's paintings for the Malazan army or anyone else's, I don't care, it has so much potential! (dear special edition publishers, please hire me to do that)

Rememeber when i said I'd love to see the auroras some day? Well I did!!! Last night, I saw them dancing in the sky from my window (in Brittany, France). The conditions weren't ideal because I live in the middle of a city, but still! Auroras! I'm so happy ^^

Somehow I forgot to post this piece earlier! It was painted for the reverse dust jacket of an OwlCrate special edition of "Sleep Like Death" by Kalynn Bayron which was published a year ago or so... I'm happy with all the symbolism I could hint at here! also, the emerald-brown colour palette 🤎💚

I'm just back from a nice vacation with art friends during which, unsurprisingly, drawings were drawn. Here are some dead trees and branches! The models were super expressive but also kind enough to stand perfectly still for us, which was appreciated.

Sooo... guess which city from a famous recent fantasy series I got to paint! The main clue is cropped from this close-up view, so it's not immediately recognizable, but I'm pretty sure fans will still figure it out quickly :)
