Commission work done for @jacenlandry.bsky.social 🌹
In a clear spring morning, a man sits on the edge of a small fountain in a garden, with a tome on his lap, practicing a spell. A dog sits in front of him, looking up at him curiously. The man has pale skin, dark hair, and a well kept mustache and beard. He wears purple robes, and dark pants and boots. The spell he is practicing fans out wide over both the dog and the man, and is casting a soft pink light on the area. The dog has a dark overcoat with white underbelly, and white eyebrows. The garden is well kept and has many flowers, with tulips, daffodils, and grape hyacinths. A footpath runs through the garden, and bushes and trees line the edges of the garden, with a stone wall separating the garden from the outer forest. The sky is pale blue, tinted with yellow as the sun rises in the morning.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Playing with some handmade lowpoly assets.
Experimenting with the kuwahara node in the compositor. I'm really enjoying this workflow.
small mediterranean island in an anime, stylized style in front of a cloud small mediterranean town in an anime, stylized style with some trees. Taking advantage of the kuwahara for a painterly setup before final touches in photoshop another composition created with the same assets. Small harbour town with a leaving ship. Big landscape formations. Raw render of my eevee setup. No paintover on this image

This piece from last year is one of my favorites. I particularly like the contrast between the warm and cool tones.

Old comm work done for floralsilk_ ❤️
A woman dressed in a red coat with white fur trim readies a ball of light to hurl at enemies that are out of frame. The background is snowy and barren, with a few lamps hanging from the snow laden trees. There is also a large, primitive altar with an antlered beast's skull on the top in the background.
