I was babysitting my brothers bunny earlier this summer and decided to paint her as a character that would fit into the MTG Bloomburrow plane, whilst taking ryan Pancoast's oils course. I used the 'Valley Questcaller' card as my design brief and this is what I came up with. Oils on aluminium 12x16"
A bunny character blowing a horn at sunrise to muster various animals to go on a quest. A bat, bird and mouse have all heeded the call. A white banner with a bunny paw icon blows in the wind

Ser Gawain and The Green Knight. I was hiking in the Peak District In January this year and visited Lud’s Church, said to be one of the locations that the Green Chapel is located, which inspired this painting. feedback from @rpancoast.bsky.social via his course helped a lot! Oils on paper- 12x16”
A skull with a pentacle carved into it is displayed in front of a crimson shield covered in moss. The green knights axe is made of twisted roots with a gigantic axe head with runes etched into it and sits behind the shield. Boar tusks protrude outwards with the green sash draped between them.

"Dyfed, the Guiding Hand" - 16"x20" Oil on Cradled Board AD: Deborah Garcia This was the first time I've read an entire book to really dial in on a Magic assignment, but I'm glad I did. There are a lot of narrative details woven in throughout her design and the scene itself. #mtg #mtgmbc

New Oilpainting!🥳 "Tor/Door", Oil on Wood, 50x70 cm. What secrets does this ancient wood hold? Are you brave enough to face its depths? #art #oilpaint
A barren wasteland, blue sky and clouds in the back. in the foreground huge cypresslike trees stand columnlike in a low stone enclosure, concealing a red door in their midst. Infront stone rubble, ammonite and an amphora. ochres and greens dominate the painting

Lord Morden Slough, a man of cynical gallantry, led the first disastrous expeditionary brigade to Swill. Now he has returned, bitter and broken, swearing vengeance on the pettifogging aristocrats that tried to send him to his doom.

Very excited to finally share my latest painting - Request for Aid I had a blast researching and drafting this one! It was so fun to explore the composition, pose and lighting to find what best described the mood and story I wanted to convey.
A wounded female character with torn wings kneels in front of a grand figure and is tentatively reaching for their hand. 

The central character has large red and white striped moth wings, wears metal armour and holds a large spear with two of their four hands. They look down at the wounded guest and offer their hand. With their remaining hand, they request the support of an assistant who approaches with a bowl of medicinal items which is erupting with a thin smoke that curls around the assistant as they walk. 

Other members of the court can be faintly seen in the far distance observing the unfolding action with awe.  

In the background, large curtains drape over the court and frame the huge cocoon which hangs behind our central characters.

The Spectral Guide -watercolor, acryla gouache on paper This painting was created for Commander Sealed's 2026 playmat, the original will be auctioned in August. My concept was to portray the strength that comes from community, the guidance and courage that we lend to one another in trying times.
A knight in rusty armor and a wooden shield, brandishes his sword at an unseen foe. An angel made of prismatic light flies by his side, ribbons of light wrapping around the knight.

"Blex, Loafing Pest" for Secrets of Strixhaven!
A traditional illustration done in acrylics featuring Blech. Blech is a pest, a creature that exists on the plane of Strixhaven. Pests come in many shapes and sizes, often looking like something of a mix between reptiles, amphibians and grubs. Blech is a particularly large, chunky pest of mostly red and green coloring with a white underbelly. He has bright red eyes, many teeth and spines and is lazily lounging on a moss covered branch, surrounded by various small creatures of the forest.
