When the teaser trailer for Diablo 4 came out, the first thing I wanted to do was try showing that crazy translucent body. #art #fantasyart #Diablo #diablo4
Arwen at the River Bruinen. I loved making these stylized LotR scenes and want to do more! What scenes would you want to see? #art #fantasyart #lotr
Plant-based sentient protectors known as Symbionts
More unit types from a different faction for the upcoming board game I'm making art for, Arcane Conquest. This faction's units are sentient protectors composed of strong and flexible plant matter and thick armor made of bark. #art #fantasyart #boardgame
Some unit types for the upcoming board game I'm making art for, Arcane Conquest. This faction is a wide variety of what we'd call angels and demons, with all sorts mixtures from both. #art #fantasyart #boardgame
Time-lapse from yesterday's stream! This was a 4-hour challenge
And here it is, the result of my 4-hour challenge! This was done on stream today with a timer set, and I was kind of nervous that I had overestimated my sppedpaint abilities, but it all turned out pretty well! I think I will be doing a similar speed challenge on stream every week or two, if possible
Going live to test how far I can get on a character portrait in four hours! Feel free to cheer me on or harass me (nicely) at twitch.tv/tygrenierart
WIP Wednesday? At least that's what all the kids keep telling me. Here's a WoW piece I've been messing with off and on. Can you recognize some of the gear??
Forgot to post these, three illustrations for ads for the board game! Follow to get updates on when it's available to back presale.asaeil.games

Got close to finished on this oil commission on stream today! Come keep me company and share what you work on as well! twitch.tv/tygrenierart

Back into Blender! This is my second project and it's been a hot minute. I designed a pre-Nefarion version of Ashkandi from World of Warcraft, and now I'm making it into a cinematic-quality (hopefully) 3D object! #blizzard #warcraft #weapondesign #blender #3dmodelling

Good, I just finished the (probably) last art piece before the game goes to Kickstarter. If it gets funded I'll be quitting the retail job to focus on the rest of the art and making the best product in can!
Surprise! One more champion for the board game, the Kickstarter Exclusive Rhesi, Aspect of Fate! She allows the player to choose which resource they receive. Follow here for more information and updates on Arcane Conquest! #boardgame #boardgameart #tabletopgame #strategyboardgame #indieboardgame
As if we don't already get it shoved in our faces every two seconds! Why would somebody want more??
Couple more
These Artefact cards for Arcane Conquest are pretty small, and part of that is taken up by text. Giving a visual indicator that reads well was a fun challenge! I kept it to 2 colors to keep it simple. Which is your favorite? #boardgame #boardgameart #indieboardgame #tabletopgame #strategyboardgame
Is that like, fear is "Auuugh!" about a very specific thing, and anxiety is "Auuugh!" about a much more vague thing?
A survivor from the darkest side of humanity, augmented by a power meant to kill her, the one called the Iron Mother defends her adopted daughters.
A recruitable hero from our upcoming board game Arcane Conquest. Stay tuned for more info! #tabletopgame #boardgame #indieboardgame #boardgameart
Even a professional artist hosting platform like Artstation is having difficulty navigating and enforcing AI labels on posts. At least you're trying.
The more time goes on, the more I enjoy creating more design-oriented art. These are card backs for Artefacts and Heroes, respectively, for our board game in progress Arcane Conquest. #boardgameart #indieboardgame #strategyboardgame
Tell them No, Abra and Kadabra are just the Pokémon before you get Alakazam. Duh.
That's some straight Disney's Robin Hood level shennaniganery there
Been thinking back to these LotR images I made. The stylized balance was a lot of fun, not too slow or tedious. I need to do more!
I was just talking to somebody about this the other day and couldn't remember where to find examples! Sweet!
That's when having a couple good mods really helps, but it's not always easy to find those.
Definitely stay safe. There are a whole host of people who will recognize you and stand with you, regardless of what some words technically say somewhere.
As an artist currently working on a board game, I like to see art as one of the main answers in these replies 😅
