I've been updating my print store to have more of my EDO and latest paintings up, and there's a 20% sale right now! So now's a great time to pick one up! International folks, I'd recommend waiting until there's a free shipping weekend.

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. 😊 The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character 😅

A woman with a shaved head in gold armor stands among dark briars. The briar thorns pierce her armor and skin in a few places, and she hangs her head in a defeated posture.

Thank you!

yes, I print the digital sketch out onto heavy-duty paper then mount it to MDF board using matte medium, (mostly to save time and preserve the details of the line work). Its my favourite way of working with digital sketches and allows me to experiment a bit more!

Thanks Eren!

Thanks Aviv! Yeah this piece particularly was a bit of a trial by fire getting good with the medium for a bunch of things I'd not done before.

Sam Hogg @thewhalergirl.com · 27d

Another calendar piece! One of those pieces that when I did the digital sketch, I forgot I couldn't copy & paste in oils. Dany in one of her most iconic moments, taking control of the Unsullied.

#art #asoiaf

oil painting depicting the famous white haired character Danaerys from game of Thrones, sitting stop her white rearing horse, cracking the whip that give her control of the unsullied, who are lined up behind her, spears and shields in hand while her juvenile dragons wreak havoc on the city in the distance.

Well this was a siren song I couldn't resist late at night when i should really be sleeping. Cara is all about sexy things in red, and she seems to be my fashion muse.

#TheWhalerGirl

Sketchy, dynamic artwork of a tall slender woman wearing a heavy red cloak with circles across it, and a reflective, smooth plastic top in the shape of a broken heart, heald together with gold chains. The image has an irreverent iconic feel to it

Next up from the 2020 SoIaF calendar, the moment Arya whispers her first name to Jaqen.

19" square, Oil on panel
#traditionalart #fantasyart #art

traditional painting from the Song of Ice and Fire calendar from 2020, it depicts Jaqen, lounging naked with arms out in a large round stone pool of still black water, his white and red hair draped over his shoulders, while Arya, dressed in servants garb leans over to whisper a name in his ear. Two female servants can be seen standing in the background, which consists of large stone pillars and a stone and wood floor,

I've never shared all of the images from the official SoIaF calendar I did for 2020, choosing scenes that inspired me from across the series. These are all 2ft square oil paintings, and remain some of the most intense, accomplished work of my career. Up first is Ned and Cat under the heart tree.

a painting from the GRRM book Game of Thrones, depicting a couple in medieval style garb, a man and a woman. Both perch on the roots of a huge white tree. He is cleaning blood from his sword, which pools into the abstract shape of a stags head in the water, an omen of things to come.
