P.s.: I love Tolkien, the way he writes about his women is very delicate and sweet, but thank goodness we had the Peter Jackson’s movie adaptations. Bless whoever decided to give more screentime and a fucking epic chase scene to my homegirl Arwen. Also “But no living man am I!” is the greatest comeback in literary history, and whoever doesn’t agree is a coward. I didn’t include Galadriel in this because I didn’t feel like drawing her, but I love her too.

I wrote a four page workshop for this which was very difficult because i haven’t written anything in like 7 years… definitely more difficult than creating the actual illustration LOL… so please check it out if you can get your hands on a copy!

A project I worked on early last year – these are cover illustrations for the upcoming Dolmenwood campaign setting books by Gavin Norman. The three books are currently in development and you can find more info at the publisher’s site from the links below: Dolmenwood Monster Book Dolmenwood Campaign Book Dolmenwood Player’s Book

Recent twitter commissions. Got my hands on a new tool so expect more digital and colored art soon

This is by no means the Only Way To Pick Colors—it’s just a relatively-simple method I use sometimes.  I’ve found it works pretty well, almost regardless of what colors you pick—as long as you can keep them organized by those light/dark warm/cool categories, and make sure one category takes up a significantly higher proportion of page space, it usually turns out pretty good!

If you follow Selmers to the poetry society meeting in Night In The Woods, this is her poem. I loved it and the themes of the game, and wanted to use it as practice to see if i can control the way readers ‘hear’ the words through images.
