Greetings, traveler! I'm Martin, I smear pixely paint on Book covers, TTRPGs, cards and Boardgames, and whatever else they let me get away with

A young girls is standing on top of a thin cliff, holding a weird small harp and looking at a flying wolf-bird creature in front of her.

A scene from the lord of the ring, Gandalf and the Balrog are falling and fighting.

A witch is standing in her workshop. She makes living worlds held in glass jars and bottles. The rokm is full of objects and creatures an little stories.

À stylised portrait of Odin, as an old traveler, flanked by two crows.

Of course :) the first one is the French edition of "The Beast Player", and the second one is a book on the history of unicorns : www.fnac.com/a16348810/Br...

Thanks a lot !

Martin Mottet @martinuche.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you!

Thank you very much :) The city was one of *those* ideas : "hey it could make for a great composition to use the city as a dark shape on the upper part of the painting." 20 hours later, painting the 250th little house, empty blue skies start looking like the most wonderfull composition ever.

That's very kind! Dark elves are the coolest indeed ;)

Martin Mottet @martinuche.bsky.social · 9d

Elf in the woods!
This is an old painting now, but it still feels fresh to me, I discovered and learned a lot painting it.

An elf warrior is running in the woods, or more accurately jumping from tree to tree.

Thanks a lot! I wanted those (shapes, colour, pose and others) to be interesting first and realistic second

QRP with your book covers!

I'm always happy to get an excuse to share my brighter and lighter pictures.

One of the biggest french artist account on here got suspendre/banned for some reason.

That reason is probably either he said Kirk should rest in piss or he said nice things about Palestinian.

Apparently thanking new followers get you a bunch more...who I now have to thank. It might be a looping trap, but I don't care I'm not afraid I'll simply share one of my early paintings the day I want all of you to go away.

Anyway thanks a lot, again, to the new people following me! :)

The scene is a double duel, a large golden-white dragon is fighting a dark spirit, while a dashing hero (also clad in golden white as the cliché requires it) face and evil, dark knight. Originality all around as you can see.

Hi and thanks a lot to the new people following me!
I try to keep my posts about art and art-related stuff, and I don't paint quickly so you needn't worry about being spammed. You miiiiight get a few reposts though :)

In a large room full of treasure, a large golden dragon is seen spreading her wings. The ceiling is aflame with -probably- her last roaring breath.
