"Descent into Avernus" was a fun D&D/MTG cross-over illustration where I got to explore my childhood love of stories about the destruction of Atlantis. In any case, I wanted to mention that I'll be a guest artist at LDXP Houston this weekend, come say hi if you're in the area, it's free to attend!

A little test shot done in blender trying to mimic the 1980s/1990s style anime aesthetic. This was my first attempt but we got close! A lot to change moving forward for a short film I have been chipping away at.

This piece was a big deal for me! It jump started my career and was accepted into Spectrum Fantastic Art #26 many years ago. It lead me down an interesting and fun path thus far! Let's see where it goes.

This omnipresent technological energy was able to be accessed with diligent search and practice of ancient knowledge, adversely it can be accessed in a commodified form and technologically assisted via β€œsynthesizer pump chip.”

Some lore:
After a massive world changing event (some suspect to be a mass ritual), a seismic event occurred which spawned a new era for humanity. A melding of energetic and elemental magick along with technology emerged. Deemed the Cythral plane.

A recent concept I did for a game called Servitor by Storm Scourge games.

A cool blend of magic and cyberpunk!
