A portrait of woodelf druid Nidrayah and her long-tailed tit Tuiw.

The last months I’ve been working off and on on an illustration project of the Book of Job. The Book of Job tells the tale of a rich man who lost everything he had and loved and how this affected his relationship with his wife, friends and God.

My client and me discussed the design of the characters and the setting thoroughly, as he was looking for a specific modern look and feel.

When I first started painting as a kid, I wanted to paint forests. My dad (who was a painter himself) warned me that forests are among the most difficult things to draw. I tried, I failed and grew disappointed with the subject and didn’t try to draw or paint forests anymore.

A while ago someone helped me out and I offered him a request in return. He asked me for a drawing of a forest.

A fanart I did of the D&D characters of two friends of mine. I started this before the summer but realized recently I never posted the finished result ;)

A recent assignment. I was asked to design the wedding invitation of my sister and (now) brother-in-law. They had a pretty strong idea of what they wanted, and I am happy I was able to satisfy them.

Alice in Wonderland! Yes!

This is old.

Quite old.
