It turned out wonderfully!
No secret sauce, just paint a lot! The rest will come along the way.

Glad it inspired you!
Much obliged 🙏🏼

It resonates with people and the show deserves every bit of praise it's getting for it.
My human fantasy nerd heart is full you guys.
Just finished ⚔️A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms⚔️ and boy does this show deliver.
Not only is it really well acted, directed and produced. It also manages to present something that seems to be severely lacking in our current times:
Honor.
"Confusing Aura" for the Daggerheart base game.
Thank you! ☺️
My shark rider piece got accepted into this years Infected By Art Vol. 14!
Wohoo!
Finished my mentorship with @paulscottcanavan.com !!
That was so fun and I'm so proud of his this piece turned out! Paul is such a great teacher. Time to use the infinite wisdom I gained from MIR for my next pieces
Came out great! Glad you had a good time with Paul!
I feel you. <3
I'm not referencing any specific new revelation from them, but rather the fact that they show that conspiracy "theories" like Pizzagate aren't bogus and that our world is most likely considered to be some sort of playground by a small group of sick pedophiles.
It's evil incarnate.
Evil comes in all shapes, sizes, races, genders, religions, etc. so always remember: Love and compassion is the answer.
Corny, I know. But it's true.
In regards to the recently released Epstein files I will only say this:
The truth about "our reality" is probably way more f*ed up than we think, but at it's core it's always been about good vs. evil.
Thanks! ✌🏼☺️
Unveiling the Mystery #5
Concept and value comp sketches I made for a private commission back in spring 2024.
Back then I learned the hard way how important good preparation and a clear process actually is. Experiment A LOT early on to peel away the bad ideas.
Yes, I skipped that part then. haha
I can finally share the illustration I made for Katee Roberts (@kateerobert.com) new book series "The Tarot Trials".
It was such a blast painting this piece, even though it was a bit of a challenge (as group compositions always are) and I feel I almost broke the color wheel in the process. :D
I am open and looking for work again! I’ve worked on projects for Magic the Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, Draco Gaming, Mondo, and more. I do full color illustrations and concept art, and I specialize in creatures.
You're welcome! (and thanks)
Mikey & Leo, Chaos & Order
AD Stephanie Cheung
As with all other UB art I can't show anything related to the process, but I can talk a bit about it :)
Was once again really happy to do some official TMNT art. Leo's my fav!
Brief was him and Mikey doing some fighting in an alien bar vs Tricero's
This rules. You're really a master of color, light and composition, Jason.
Thanks, God 🙏🏼
Haha, yes! Although these are purely Paul's fault.
I do however do that with AD's or clients with whom I already have a good rapport.
🙏🏼♥️
Right? My mentor made it a strong point to experiment as much as possible in the beginning and I thank him for that.
The googly eyes are courtesy of Paul Canavan. It's his PO feedback. He's a cool cat but also a silly dude sometimes. Haha
