This year I started getting into portraits more heavily. There is something very soothing about working on the intricate details of the face, something I wish to explore more. #PortfolioDay

I also do character design, inspired by history and mythology. Here is a small selection. Hoping to expand to creature design one day as well! #PortfolioDay

Painting I made around 4.5 years ago that went through quiet a bit of revisions, and is currwently still one of my more popular paintings. The character is inspired by Central Asian mythology and lore, something I took a lot of inspiration from in the past. Hope you like it!

Painting I made of the medieval warrior queen Yodit, ruler of Ethiopia. I always found her story and rise to power intriguing, and I think it would fit a biopic very well. After learning about her while playing Age of Empires years ago, I got inspired and made this painting-

Another portrait I painted for Numenera! A character the players could meet in the game. It was fun to play around with more loose brushtrokes + a hard light source. One of my favourite portraits from the batch. -

Always liked this about animation. Emphasis on gestures with limited tools to great effect.

Happy to share this painting from around 1.5 years ago, depicting a Judean warrior from the Second-Temple era. Still trying to figure out my worldbuilding when I have the time to work on it, but this piece definitely guided me along the way and set a tone for me to craft upon.

Considering making ''pretty pictures'' becomes less and less in vogue/relevant this book by James Gurney is now more relevant than ever. I highly recommend everyone who doesn't have it yet to pick it up and enhance the storytelling in their art.

Happy to share this painting for my #MTG Portfolio & my worldbuilding! Due to the current unwelcome advent of AI, I felt the strong desire to change my workflow. Less quick artwork to feed the algorithm, more artwork that tells a story, shares expriences and brings emotion -/

''Third Value'' By Sam Neilson. Another one about focus and value hierarchy! See how he uses the darks vs lights, shape + detail density to draw the eye to the rider, while still separating the big shapes through using midtones only.
