It feels odd to share something right now, but I'm truly hoping this gives some folks out there a break from the doom. The first piece for my Dusklight Archive project is complete, titled "The Price of Reclamation."

More details in the next post. #illustration #humanmade
A digital painting of a dragon that looks like it is made from living wood, crowed with green leaves. Its eye is glowing bright emerald, summoning the magic of new vines and plant growth that are wrapping around the charred trunks of the burned forest it stands in.

Can you help me share this?

I would like to announce my first own artbook - part of the Artbox Series by @spiridude.com caurette editions
The cover features a reworked piece from 2018, one that we felt was perfect for this. And still… something about it didn’t feel like me anymore.
A dreamy, pastel-hued illustration of a long-haired woman tenderly holding a young child in her lap. They sit by a calm pink-hued body of water, surrounded by lush tropical plants and glowing flowers. Soft butterflies float through the air as the warm light of a full moon glows behind them, casting a magical and serene atmosphere.

So pleased to be able to reveal this piece I did for @calltoadventure.bsky.social for their amazing actual play TTRPG, The Fourth Age.

[ #jasperdraws #fantasyart #thefourthage #lotr ]
Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. The angle is low, looking up. The sky is dominated by a cloud lit by golden hour, and there are cherry blossom trees sending petals through the piece. From left: Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff); Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); 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); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in two hands).

It's my birthday! I humbly request likes and reposts as a birthday present.
A portrait of a skeleton carrying a hooked polearm. His bones are carved and painted with images of plants and animals. He wears black tattered robes with leather armor woven with straw. He stands against a field of wheat. A swarm of ravens flying at the viewer. A blue-skinned tiefling dressed in an Arlecchino-inspired outfit. She holds a masquerade mask and is balancing a coin on her tail.

George Butts (played by @BolognaSlap), aka Ultra Magnus, part man, part machine, raised by a man who would be Megatron, secretly supplanted by Optimus Prime to stop his oldest enemy.

Without the light, is he still a real boy?

Shannon Locke (played by @TheMetamancer), aka Grimlock, is a late addition to the Autobots, going from bully to leader. Shannon takes no shit and makes no apologies.

Has she spent too long in the dark to remember the light?

Nearly ten years since fixing the mistakes of an unregulated governmental body, fighting off evil robots, evil doppelgangers, storybook creatures come to life, and literal vampires...

The Autobots are getting the band back together!
