Process breakdown for the previous piece. Tight turnaround, but it pushed me to find ways to work faster without losing clarity. #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

Another book cover for the series. Reworked the gun style to better suit the author’s vision. #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

Here’s the process for the rat cover! Fun exploring poses and expressions for this little reader. #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

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. #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

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. #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

econd cover for the series. Drawing a dragon and a giant cookie was way more fun than expected. #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

Book cover test I did for a series. Quick turnaround, so the process files didn’t survive this one. #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Wanted to practice book cover design. Focused a lot on readability and experimented with some typography along the way. #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

The full party together. Group shot from the commission. It was fun making it~ #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

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. #fantasyart #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #artwork #artistjourney #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Fourth character for the commission, a goblin mage with a very mischievous personality. Loved making the smile. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Third character in the Final Fantasy inspired set. A cheeky tiefling bard. Emphasis on the Cheeky #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

Second character in the Final Fantasy inspired set. The challenge here was capturing an uncertain expression. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

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! #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Two character commissions with spider-inspired Aztec skeletons. Unfortunately lost the process files, but I still loved working on these. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

The full process for the fire mage. From planning to final render. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

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. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Part 2, focused on figuring out the values and color scheme of the piece. Learned some techniques that really helped. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

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. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Fantasy potion bottle practice for class, with emphasis on material definition and readability. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

This is a colored knife render. It was interesting learning how to clearly separate the rust from the colored metal surfaces. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Bone knife render. Weird material but a fun learning experience. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

More complex gold key render. This one taught me a lot about control and refinement. Had a lot of fun with this one. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Sharing the process for this silver coin render. I focused on refining the metal texture and lighting to make it feel worn and believable. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

This is a silver coin render. I focused on the metal texture and subtle lighting to give it a solid and slightly worn feel. Learned alot from this! #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Final render of the leather bag. I spent time refining the texture and wear to make the materials feel real. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Material-rendering study process! Pushing textures was the main goal here. Learned how leather texture worked! #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

Some Material Studies I did for class! #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

First full illustration I have made with proper direction. Learned so much from this and it is actually my most time spent on an image. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Sharing the process for this skeletal Priestess. Adding a skeletal tattoo was tricky, but I am happy with the final result. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

Commission piece inspired by bones and marigolds. Really enjoyed working on this one. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Process video for this botanist. You can see me struggling with the colors and lighting on this one haha. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

A botanist I painted while I was learning my way around color. This one was definitely a challenge but taught me a lot. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

Process for the fruit spirit. Tried a few different color ideas and shapes before finding the final look. She kind of looked like she ripened during the entire process. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Process for the paladin and birb friend. This one was all about balancing the armor lighting with the fire effects and keeping the warmth consistent throughout. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

First time tackling black armor. Took some time nailing the lighting and making the fire sword glow. This paladin also found a tiny Gryphon friend along the way. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Process for the paladin. Spent a lot of time figuring out how to get the armor reflections and lighting right on this one. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

A paladin. Always fun painting armor and shields, and figuring out how the light bounces off metal. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Process for the cleric. Always fun seeing how it came together, especially the bird. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Step by step showing some of the different ideas and design choices I explored. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

The Final look of the Character I designed, I had to change a lot of things, and some questionable design choices, but I learned a lot from it! #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch

jkevinyu @jkevinyu.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Made this using some design principles! Was trying out some shape dynamics. #art #digitalart #illustration #digitalpainting #painting #characterart #dndart #sketch
