Digital portrait in painterly style of Raistlin Majere, a wizard clad in black with bright red moons on his clothing. His white hair is surrounded by a golden halo and his lips are stained with blood.

Everyone's favorite white-haired evil twink, Raistlin Majere from #Dragonlance (if not everyone's, mine for sure).
Tried my hand at painting rather than drawing. To my misfortune, I think I like both the process and the result a lot. I think I'm gonna do more!

Omg a song for mages 😭😭😭 I'm gonna cry
"The bards must have everyone in tears when they sing that"... I'm glad we have a way to now!

Appreciate it! ✨❤️

Illustration in art nouveau style of Dalamar, a young elf wizard with dark hair, looking softly away while holding a bunch of red leaves and white flowers under the night sky. A big black moon is on the background and the illustration is framed by a silvery leafy motif.

Illustration of Dalamar, a young elf with dark hair, looking softly away while holding a bunch of red leaves and white flowers.

Art Nouveau-style Dalamar the Dark from the Dragonlance novels.

I put him as an NPC in my D&D oneshot hoping to play a charismatic evil bastard and my players decided to rename him "Twink Lord", so, there we go.

Print available in my Etsy shop. Link in bio and all that jazz 🎶

Oooo love that! Do you have a link? I listened to one yesterday but I think it was the one without?

That makes sense, the poor man deserved some recognition in song 😂

For sure I'd love to use it for my Dnd sessions! I'm playing a Dragonlance campaign with a few friends :)
I have a tin whistle somewhere, if I ever get a few good notes out of it I'll send you something 😁

Oh my god? I had no idea you did this? You have such a beautiful voice!

Makes me want to record some music for it 😭😭😭

Omg beautiful! Love the props

Illustration in art nouveau style of a young wizard sitting next to a stained glass window, lost in thought, his hand leaning on a book and surrounded by warm golden light. The figure on the stained glass is a woman with long robes and long curled hair, together with floral and moon motives. The corners of the illustration are decorated with roses and gold motifs.

Golden hour scene of young Raistlin in magic school. From the Dragonlance books.✨
I think I might be entering my light academia period.

Illustration of two men with long hair and robes hugging and resting with their eyes closed in soft summer light surrounded by a frame in art nouveau style with colored moons at each corner. One wears black robes and has long white hair and holds the other one who has long blond hair and wears red robes.

This is not supposed to be for a Tarot Deck, but if it was, it would be The Lovers.
Happy Pride everyone 🌈
(Is wizard yaoi a thing?)

So @nocontextlestat is organising a fan made tarot deck for Interview with the Vampire and I was selected as one of the contributing artists! 🦇 I've been biting my nails the whole of last week hoping to make it into the team. Can't wait to see what character and card I will be working with ✨ #iwtv

Fantasy illustration in art nouveau style of a knight on horseback looking into the distance with a long flowing cape and long braids coming out of a winged helmet. Decorative elements at the back feature a dragon and the writing "est solarus oth mithas'. The horse has delicate flowers on its mane.

Huma Dragonbane from Dragonlance. Yes I'm still in the Dragonlance brainrot, I'm doing really well 😭
'Est Solarus oth Mithas' means 'My honor is my life'. Go read these books if you love knights obsessed with honor and moustaches.

Also yay for knightcore-art nouveau style #fantasyillustration

Once again consumed by the void after finishing a piece of artwork I've spent all my braincells on for days. Somebody tell me, how do you unwind in these situations? #artists

Black and white logo of a duck in linoprint style with a flail at her feet and the writing Delusional Duck.

I don't normally do logos, but one day Jessé from @delusional.duck came over and was like: "Listen, I need an illustration for my logo, it needs to look like linoprint, have a delusional avian on it, and ALSO a flail" and I just went "SAY NO MORE".

So here she is in all her glory and delulu-ness 🦆

So glad to have been blessed with a DnD party that shows up to the session wearing fake moustache because you told them it's an important feature of your game's Order of Knights.

Black and white illustration of a woman listening to music

Ok people I need your help. I think this design really needs some text. What would you write on it if you had to get this design printed on a tshirt or a mug or else? Put it in the comments and I'll take your suggestions (...unless they're too cursed. Then I may have to exercise some caution 😉).

I just discovered that I am absolutely allowed to listen to audiobooks while painting. For some reason it still feels like cheating or being distracted at work, so that's why I never tried it before. Any other recreational activities I should try out while I work?

A very cool cowboy for a very cool portrait commission. 🎨

Sometimes I'll spend hours and days perfecting a drawing and finding the right references and all but to be honest my favourites always turn out to be the ones I half-ass without knowing what I'm doing.

Did I learn a valuable lesson from this? Probably not. 🎨

Artists and nerds in the Netherlands: recommend me a few cons with nice artist alley settings that would fit my fantasy/historical artsy business! I think it's time I try my luck at a convention, and I see that there's new ones popping up all the time. Which ones are your favourite?

I can't even describe how tired I've been this month but somehow participating in @Hausoftrout's Goblin Market day felt more like a treat than work. Immaculate vibes.

I will try and take the rest of the week off and then will get back to putting more silly medieval stickers on the internet.

Illustration of a wizard in art nouveau style, he is sitting on a rock, leaning on his staff and looking at the viewer with a soft glance. He is wearing a red robe and dipping his toes in water, flowers in his long blond hair. An ornamental crown of moons decorates the background.

For my "pretty wizards" series - more Magius being a babygirl. We have to wait until 2026 to read Dragonlance Legacies - War Wizard and I'm already knee deep into fanarts of this beautiful idiot.

By the way, should I make this into a print? ✨

Emerging and aspiring authors, to me! I have been thinking of creating a few pre-made book covers for starting authors who don't have a whole lot of budget but would like to get something from a real artist instead of AI. Have you bought premade covers before? What did you like/not like about it?

Happy #PortfolioDay! I do portraits and am currently accepting commissions!

I also do fantasy art and silly medieval stickers.

Subtle cosmic #jayvik.

Two men about to kiss at dusk, on the walls of a castle, fires visible in the distance. One is a long haired blond man, cradling the other's face, a white haired man with pronounced cheekbones and golden skin.

Raistlin and Magius from Dragonlance smooching because wizard yaoi is the only thing keeping me sane.
