In a clear spring morning, a man sits on the edge of a small fountain in a garden, with a tome on his lap, practicing a spell. A dog sits in front of him, looking up at him curiously. The man has pale skin, dark hair, and a well kept mustache and beard. He wears purple robes, and dark pants and boots. The spell he is practicing fans out wide over both the dog and the man, and is casting a soft pink light on the area. The dog has a dark overcoat with white underbelly, and white eyebrows. The garden is well kept and has many flowers, with tulips, daffodils, and grape hyacinths. A footpath runs through the garden, and bushes and trees line the edges of the garden, with a stone wall separating the garden from the outer forest. The sky is pale blue, tinted with yellow as the sun rises in the morning.

LILITH - Digital hand painting portrait fanart of Mother Lilith, from the game Diablo published by Blizzard. ELISE - Digital painting portrait of Elise, demoness/vampire/succubus original character of Selianne. She has white hair, fair skin, viole eyes and black horns. She is looking at the viewer with open mouth, while licking her fingers covered in blood. RED SONJA - Hand-painted digital half-body of Red Sonja, the female heroine of Dynamite Comics. She wields an axe fiercely above her head and a dagger in her other hand. She is ready for action, fearless, while a rock wall with a carved skull is visible in the background. Various torches are lit. STREGANERA - Digitally painted portrait of a beautiful but menacing witch, dressed in black and purple. Her gaze is fierce and cruel. Around her neck she wears a compass pendant and has two small skulls for earrings.

Congrats on the milestone and thanks for the artshare!

small mediterranean island in an anime, stylized style in front of a cloud small mediterranean town in an anime, stylized style with some trees. Taking advantage of the kuwahara for a painterly setup before final touches in photoshop another composition created with the same assets. Small harbour town with a leaving ship. Big landscape formations. Raw render of my eevee setup. No paintover on this image

Playing with some handmade lowpoly assets.
Experimenting with the kuwahara node in the compositor. I'm really enjoying this workflow.

This piece from last year is one of my favorites. I particularly like the contrast between the warm and cool tones.

A woman dressed in a red coat with white fur trim readies a ball of light to hurl at enemies that are out of frame. The background is snowy and barren, with a few lamps hanging from the snow laden trees. There is also a large, primitive altar with an antlered beast's skull on the top in the background.

Digital painting of an iridescent candle holder with two purple candles standing on a glass table. Digital painting of red and yellow peppers and some green leaves. Digital still life painting of a coffee cup, coffee-mill and cezve.

Some of my favorite still-life studies.

A nightelf druid looks off into the distance, hair blowing in the wind, standing near Amirdrassil. She has long green hair, and a muscular physique. Her forearms and chest are bound with white wrappings, and she wears loose green and brown pants. She also has dark, delicate tattoos on her person.
