A painting of a woman in black armour and dark skin with a sword over her shoulder and her feathery dragon companion. The feathers on the dragon shift colours like opals in the sun

A painting of a dragon ranger and her companion, a young red dragon. They're looking out over a sea of clouds.

A painting of Ghost, leaned up against a broken piece of concrete as some imaginary spooky skeleton men come to bother him

An illustration of a huntress crouched in shadow and flanked by her two noodly companions. They're eel-gator-hounds, a species I made up for this project <3

Now that I've recovered from my cold and isn't sneezing my brains out, I finally managed to finish up my piece from @paulscottcanavan.com 's mentorship :D

Knew I wanted to paint a horse, so decided to draw some inspiration from the wild hunt folklore and ended up with bonus doggies.

A male rider dressed in leather armour rides across the sky. He's carrying a spear, and a half cape is flying out behind him. His horse have blue glows across its body, and they're flanked by two demonic canines with red glows across their body. Behind them is a eclipse and clouds.

Aaron Radney Commissions Closed (For Now) @aaronradney.bsky.social · 5d

I've been meaning to and want to do more of that sort of art. So far I've only really got one.

Share your couples art

Two men, one a noble, the other his consort/boyfriend and bodyguard stand together in an alcove in a palace as a party moves around them. They look at each other lovingly even as the bodyguard is clearly tense and keeping his hand on his weapons. The noble rests his hand on the other man's shoulder lovingly as if telling him it's okay to relax.

Recently completed my mentorship with the amazing @paulscottcanavan.com! Here's my final artwork - I'm super proud of it.

[ #jasperdraws #dndart #elfenjoyers #ocsky ]

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.

Yeah, that's one of the big hurdles. It's also getting harder to spot, and you there's the whole thing of: what if you can't exactly prove it, even if you're mostly sure
Since a wrong accusation can end or at least badly mess with any career

I have a brand new website!

It feels insane to promote anything right now, because the world is terrible, but I'm hoping to send free artsy phone wallpapers to my newsletter.

Please check out the site, and let me know if you like newsletters. Or show me a picture of your pet. Or both!
