I'm still looking to pick up some commissions to fill out the end of the year, or get involved with a project. DMs are open, email in bio.

Every share & interact helps too. Thank you!

I've currently got openings for large and small illustration commission projects, and I'd love to fill them.

Character art, covers, group illustrations, etc.
More info: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Fighting to pay down my student loans, so any shares very appreciated!

I am not human, I am a semi-sentient blob. But you should do it anyway.

Human artists, use one piece to convince people to follow you.

I just want to say that somehow ironic engagement begging on Twitter caused this to get shared around like crazy and I'm actually kind of embarrassed because I think it's such a weak piece.

I don't generally promise delivery times unless it's specifically requested and I think it's do-able. But there very much is a "your project will be done when it's done" aspect to the fact that I very likely have multiple paid clients in queue and a lot of people don't respect/consider that.

This year I'm making a big push to try and get my crushing student loans wiped out. So if anyone out there needs, or knows someone who is in the market for fantasy illustration work, please reach out!

And come hang out in my stream some time!

Nope.

I finished a painting. Please clap.

Really though, definitely a lot I wish I'd done differently/better, or just more time-efficiently, but we learn as we go.

I still don't know if #PortfolioDay is a real thing or something someone tweets out and everyone just sorta follows along with.

Anyway here's my work from this last few months. Also I'm Brian and I make fantasy art for TTRPGs and stuff. Share it if you think it's cool!

I think it's fun, but also for my group it ends up being more of a "normal campaign plus pirate dressing", because they just want to be heroic anti-pirates.

I'd love to see a group who really wanted to engage with the aspects of infamy, real piracy, maybe some more downtime management stuff, etc.

My home Pathfinder campaign has been my custom mash-up of Razor Coast + Skulls & Shackles. So pirates, ships, ancient jungle ruins, undersea eldritch gods, all kinds of stuff. It's been very fun, though nautical stuff can get clunky and hand-wave-y sometimes.

Hi #PortfolioDay !
I leaned away from horror and started doing more, creature and armory work. But I still do some horror commissions!

Also I'm open for new professional work for the upcoming months so if you know anyone looking for some art for a game, book, or project, I'm your tentacle monster.

Hey, I heard you like art so here's some more art for Reaper Minis.

This last few months has been extremely difficult, and I'm trying to get out on the other side. If you like my work, that makes it worth it. Shares mean a lot, or come hang out on stream.

Computer is in emergency repair. Hoping my drive isn't completely shot and the files are recoverable.

So...my computer crashed and of all the possible things to happen as a result, I may have lost my entire work harddrive with all of my past and current projects...

Making up some missed time this week on stream, I've got a big-ass box of cool stuff from Reaper to open and check out, and then it's back to sketching some new stuff for work!

I haven't promoted in quite a while, but funds are a little tight, so I'll throw this out there: If you stream any TTRPG content (or I guess anything else) and you could use some high-quality pre-made overlays and assets, give my shop a look!

I have no idea where this pile of new people came from. But hi Bloopskye I haven't posted here in a while.

Here's some artwork I recently finished for Reaper. All work done live on twitch.tv/AskrenArt so drop by some time and say hello.

Also, if you see this, give it a share!

That's weird, something about the link messed up? It should be fixed now. Also thank you.
