A horned devil man, with black, long hair is raising his clawed finger up to his mouth as he looks directly at the audience, he's wearing bright red coloured clothes with a hat and gold accessory. Smiling menacingly.

A selection of nine portraits - mostly commissioned by various clients as well as two personal pieces. They’re all done digitally in painterly style with visible brushstrokes and deep colours. There are vampires, vieras, elves, lizards, dragons and other humanoid but ethereal creatures.

Two painted book cover illustrations side by side, both showing a pale blond man and a brown-haired woman. The one on the left shows the figures lying down on the dark ground as they gaze longingly at one another. The one on the right has the man holding the woman in a dramatic pose as she awakens to her vampiric powers. Illustrations commissioned by Cat Rector for her novels: Coal Gets In Your Veins and Learning to Bleed.

Two watercolour portraits displaying loose brushwork. On the left - Maelle from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a young girl with red hair in a ponytail. On the right - a woman with dark hair and flushed cheeks.

Drawing of a brown-skinned androgynous person with long straight black hair looking back at the viewer. They have a handkerchief in one hand, and are sweating under the sun. In the background there’s the shape of a crowd with banners and strange musical instruments, congregated around the huge arch of a gate, for which the keystone is being set in a ceremony.
This piece is an illustration for the first chapter of Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness

Illustration of a long-haired man sleeping. There are worlds melting in his hair, the skyline of Portland before him and Mount Hood in the background. This piece is an alternate cover for The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin

Illustration of two hands reaching for each other. One of them is darker than the other, and they both have cracks that glow with light. Between them is a glowing star, and they are surrounded by a swirl of darkness and light, that remind the night sky and snow.
It is an alternate cover for The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula K. Le Guin

Illustration of a naked androgynous figure in a cave surrounded by black monsters that remind marine creatures. The person is drawing on a book while looking and touching the monsters. The person has a hole in the chest, filled by a glowing speck of light. They also have glowing eyes, as do the monsters.
The person's n1pples are censored due to BlueSky consistently flagging the image as adult content.

Illustration of a woman with long curly green hair reaching her hand out hesitantly towards the floating pendant before her. She's wearing gleaming jewelry and a white dress with small floral details. Behind her can be seen a stone path leading to a fountain. The night is dark with only the full moon visible in the sky.

Illustration of Zenos kneeling above Xau who's laying on the ground, one leg against the middle of his armor struggling to keep him back. His katana is embedded in the middle of her chest, her shirt ripped and freshly bloody. She's holding the katana seemingly in an attempt to push it away, keep it from moving, or belatedly trying to stop it from piercing her. Her sword and focus are discarded near her, now forgotten. They're both fighting in what seems to be a seaside location, mountains faintly seen in the background as the full moon shines in the night sky.

Tarot card illustration of a drow holding a sword, its surface illuminated by eerie light. One finger is touching the sharp side, bleeding, while the hand holding the non-sharp hilt bleeds too. A crown floats above his head in the same glow as the sword.

Lineart-based illustration of a cityscape with bright lights. At the edge of a rooftop, a woman with short-cropped black hair and white highlights sits haphazardly looking down. Next to her, a brunette man in a suit floats easily beside her over the open air, looking towards the night sky.

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand).

Illustration from first person view, showing a hand holding up an opalescent stone with a hole in the center. The stone has brass filigree, and through the hole is a view of a mountain sheep. The background is a mountainous landscape. There are slight magical effects showing that the view through the stone is a zoomed in view of the background.

An alabaster gargoyle and a feminine figure dressed in black robes with their faces shadowed by hoods. The pair are within a gothic styled church, standing before an altar on a dais, preaching to spectators behind the POV. Candles cast plenty of light in the room despite the flames being purple, and all the decorations and the architecture is gothic in design. They look as though they are in the middle of performing a sermon in unison

Bastion Weapons from Guildwars 2 Concept art, Staff Spire of the Forgotten and Gresatsword Strenght of the Unseen.

Panel of concept art I worked on for the Saryx Weaponset from GUILDWARS 2 , these were so much fun! I loved this set and I am so glad I got to create these unique weapons for it.

A skiff concept art, the Spellbound Skiff to be precise, from GUILDWARS 2 this was a super fun task. Mainly wooden, the magic stone was fun to add with the symbols.
