Ryan Pancoast - Illustrator/Artist

I know most/all of you folks follow me for Magic, but I’m really leaning into things that make me feel good and alive. Magic has not been that thing recently so I appreciate you taking a look at my other paintings!

painting of an older woman with white hair and blue eyes, staring intently

Portrait of a man with dark hair and beard, wearing thin hexagonal eyeglasses and looking serene, maybe a little tired.

In addition to plein air landscape paintings, my twice-a-month portrait painting sessions have been really enjoyable and challenging.

Thank you!

Some of these are now available on my website!

My plein air painting favorites this year

I’ve been painting around my town this summer. I can feel myself getting better at painting, it’s been awesome

Working on a new series of tokens for Atlanta: cute v. scary

Azor AP drawing with goldleaf.
Azor was my first legendary character for MtG, and I had been doing magic illustrations for 8 years at that point

Not legendary, but dear to my heart. May have to make an exception:)

Goal is to do all my legendaries. Myrel AP drawing with goldleaf

This might be my favorite tree I've ever painted 🌳

This a rare case where I'm wearing something I bought for reference for the painting! One of my funny-picture rules is that I don't buy anything specifically for the funny picture.

Please no 😂

Deets.

Me with the Sir Vondam painting. I'm dressed in white football pads, golden scarf, and wielding white photo umbrellas.

Some jobs you need to get the big canvas

A painting showing Sir Vondam, a knight with white space armor and two glowing swords, fighting against an army of black-clad monoist soldiers. Vondam is lit by a warm light, illuminating him in the midst of the darkness

CommandFest Worcester is great so far. Due to high demand and the fact that lines were relatively short, I've added new sketch options for Saturday and Sunday! (CommandFest only, sorry!)

Marchesa AP drawing, just in time for CommandFest Worcester!

Sure!

I am very honored, I must say. I will carry the title of “so babygirl” with the respect it deserves, for as long as I am deemed worthy of it :)

Surprisingly difficult to be disturbing but not gory!

Thanks Serena!!
