Hi - I'm an Australian concept artist and illustrator. I'm open for commissions and freelance work!

A river scene in the evening, there are lots of cute flowers in the foreground and mist in the distance partly obscuring a pine forest and an ornate castle. there are huge mountains in the distance and a line of starlike things going straight up into the sky. there's a sort of art nouveau-esque border around the whole thing. A person wearing custodes-style armour from the warhammer universe, though silver rather than gold. The armour and pose is inspired by the dark souls character, artorias of the abyss. 1. Tactical Assault Chrysalis A golden chrysalis of Yarerin manufacture. When the correct words are spoken with intention, the chrysalis spawns a number of magical insect-like sprites that will attack at the command of the speaker 2. Bluestone Cluster A cluster of bluestone, can be used to empower almost any spell 3. Necklace (with secret compartments) 4. Golden Oracle Spores A lichen-like lifeform that continuously grows upon a small stone. When ingested by an Oracle it has psychedelic effects that allows the oracle perceive various times and places they have connected with… 5. White-Gold Seal The highest level of seal that is given out by the Yarerin. El-Ithaïa keeps hers wrapped in a peice of parchment that has a message written by Yare Ninetheth himself. 6. Her Father’s blade Netherin make, truly ancient. 7. Her mother’s seer’s pipe For various Oracle rituals, such as scrying and truthseeing 8. The Hand of Yare Given to El-Ithaïa by Yare Ninetheth himself. The blade is made entirely of bluestone and will therefore never require sharpening. In battle occasionally will act as if it has a mind of its own in defense of its weilder page 1 - a man walks through a desert amongst rocky mesas that feature blue striations. his face is sunburnt, he looks rather exhausted, like he's been in this desert for too long already. his fine clothes belie his lack of preparation for this desert.

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.
A pencil drawing of a woman reclining in bed, but her hands look kind of fucked up, and her face has been scribbled out, apparently in frustration by the artist

greens. an older man wearing a thin band around his forehead, green brocaded coat topped with a reddish sash. There is a decorative border featuring eyes and baroque scrollwork, and a shield crest in the bottom right corner 28. Lord Melius Martagon, Lord of Eguile Born in the Year of the River 981. Lord Mellius Martagon is the current head of the House of Martagon, ruler of a mountainous region known as the Needle, also called Eguile. The Needle consists of an incredibly thin valley that holds the River Idlehind (one of the largest tributaries of the River Lir) all the way to the source of Idlehind in the Pinewood Forest at the foot of the Spine. They also hold the Island of Clovir which is home to the large port city of Riverhead. While Riverhead is ostensibly the seat of House Martagon’s governance of the region, they tend to reside and conduct most of their dealings from the fortress atop an ancient Greatcity called known as the Eye of the Needle. the Eye of the Needle is one of three Greatcities in the River Realms, though only one (the Archcapitol city of Midnight) remains functional. The Eye and the other fallen Greatcity long ago ceased to function and now only the most upper levels are safe to occupy. The position of the Eye of the Needle however, makes it a wonderful strategic position and its immense height and perils of navigating the abandoned underlevels of the greatcity make it a fantastic place to hold hostages… a service that House Martagon has always been more than happy to provide (secretly of course) to the highest bidder.

Here's a little taste of what you can expect -
digital painting of a lady in red armour holding a chainsword and a boltgun. She's standing in front of a glowy stained glass window looking up at the sword and little rose petals fall around her. 40k navigator with four arms. He has sickly grey green skin. He's wearing purple robes covered in scrolls and purity seals and many cables. His multiple arms are adorned with a plethora of bangles and rings. he has a metal mask and psyker helm that completely cover his face but he also has what looks like a trunk, also adorned in jewelery in golds, blacks and browns, a noble Rogue Trader of the Imperium of Mankind stands with her hand on her hip and her other hand resting on the hilt of a chainsword. She has super big baroque hair and lots of jewelery. she stands in front of lavish dark brown curtains A painting of a dark haired woman in vaguely renaissance era purple and red clothing. She's sitting down and has her hands crossed in front of her. many rings grace her fingers and she has a black piece of fabric draped over her shoulder featuring a red sigil.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.
