First time playing Dungeon World, and I’m really enjoying the campaign so far. Here is my elven bard, Astrid Manaris! She loves to perform ballads and totally isn’t on the run from anyone. 😘✨
It’s been a while, but I’m slowly getting back to making art. Stay tuned~
Timelapse from one of my recent pieces. 🌹
Music: Moonlight Serenade - Glenn Miller Orchestra
Some landscape practice that I may or may not revisit in the future. Still finding my footing with background art, but it’s a lot of fun!
Every Rose Has Its Thorn 🌹 ✨
Had a lot of fun with this one! This is my character Alice (left) and her love interest Charlie (right) from our Trail of Cthulhu game. Sometimes you just need to add a bit of romance to lighten up your weekly horror ttrpg.
Hello, everyone! I have a new website for my art portfolio!
New profile picture! Looking forward to making new things this year. ⭐️
Happy New Year! Thought I would reflect on my past work by jumping on the #artvsartist2022 bandwagon. Looking forward to making more art in 2023!
He has arrived! Please welcome Arden Oakley, a charming young man who also happens to be…a fairy prince? 🍁🧚♂️🍂

Hi all! I’m working on a new comic series that I’m excited about, which means a lot of tweaking/editing. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of a new character! More to be revealed soon…
New character alert! Meet Hannah Neumann, one of the main characters from a new fantasy romance series I’ve been workshopping. 🌿📚🎨
Getting back into the swing of things this fall, and that means making new characters! Now who do we have here…?
Getting back into making art again. I’m planning to post more often, so please stay tuned! 🎨✨

PSA: Just a friendly reminder that whenever you start a creative project, you will invariably hit a phase where the Thing™️ appears horrendous and you start asking existential questions. But if you keep working, it invariably passes and starts to resemble something less like the devil’s vomit. Doesn’t matter if it’s art, writing, or what–this happens repeatedly. Carry on.
This is a bit of advice I always pass on to people asking me about art. EVERY. SINGLE. PEICE. Every single one that I love I have at one point or another wanted to throw in the trash. Wanted to burn in a fire. Wanted to give up and leave it. The trick is to go “okay what is the worst part and how do I fix it” and just focus on that ONE thing. Then you do that again for the second worst. Then you do it again. And again. Until finally nothing needs fixing. And then it’s done and it’s beautiful.
If you dont love it, it’s not done yet. That’s all there is to it.

i just know there was a weird little girl in the middle ages out there stealing snake's eggs and putting them in her family's chicken coop in the hope of hatching a basilisk
