Loved working on this one. The art director (Irene Gallo), would always do perfect pairings of writers and artists.

Thank you for your kind note :D
My english is terrible today, sorry to everyone involved. I'm smarter in Spanish.
Arc Dream publishing and Dennis not only some of the best publishers and designers, they are pay very well and actually care for the wellbeing of their collaborators.
My #TTRPG company is going to disrupt the model by paying the people who produce the art and writing fairly and on time.

It’s a game-changer

Thank you Phil! Hope you doing good!

The Basilisk, digital.

Some time ago, I painted a traditional reptilian basilik, probably my favorite "fantasy" creature. At some point the head turned into a moon due to planetary concerns.
I actually did collage the armor. h3h3h3.
Show me how you draw armor.
