Hello #PortfolioDay!
It feels a little strange to upload these works, since I have a lot of new paintings under NDA which I wish I could show.
Thanks to everyone! I'm not good with social media but really appreciate the love my art gets from you every time I stumble in with a new painting ❤️
Das, bei dem der Mensch das Tor öffnet, finde ich auch mega stark. <3

A digital illustration of a scene from AV Wilkes' 'All the White Spaces'. Jonathan, a trans man and the protagonist, stands in the centre, facing the viewer. He stares ahead in horror, his right hand clutching his throat. From his left eye, strands of bleeding red aurora stretch outwards. These auroras show visions of Jonathan's brothers on the Western Front of the First World War: - A moustached officer smokes a cigarette in a trench, looking away. - A soldier is twisted in the remains of barbed wire. - Three soldiers wear gas masks, emerging from clouds of mustard gas. - No Man's Land exploded to all hell. A tank is submerged in a shell hole in the distance. - A skull pressed into the earth. - A soldier holds a rifle and makes his way across the strait of No Man's Land.
Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers. Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace. Right: The cover for the book The Need for Dandelions by Alex Larkspur. Two men stand back to back surrounded by depictions of dandelions. The man angled to the front is Galen. He has tan skin, red hair, and hazel eyes. A large portion of his face is covered by a burn scar. He wears a yellow tunic and brown pants, along with a pink flower pendant. He lifts up one hand, and looks concerned. The other man, facing towards the back but looks over his shoulder, is Sasha. He has light brown hair, dark brown eyes, and stubble. He is wearing leather armor and green shirt and pants. He is holding a sword.
2 different portrait illustrations side by side. Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers. Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels. Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry. Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion. Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it.
A digital illustration of a purple, green, and grey-blue themed bookshelf. The book shelf is filled with old tomes, Victorian inspired knick-knacks such as keys, teacups, candles, and a flask of a potion. On one of the shelves there is a framed picture of an anatomical human heart, along with a skull resting on a stack of books. On another shelf, there is a bust of Diana the Greek goddess.

A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread.
Achilles and Patroclos, standing next to each other in front of a raging fire. Achilles is outfitted for battle and looks wistfully into the distance, while Patroclos ties some laces of his armor, also looking sad. Behind them and above there's the mosaic of a warrior in his chariot.
Illustration of a knight or paladin or swordfighter in chainmail and cloak, drawing her sword, stepping over a water surface towards the viewer. Behind her, a flock of swans rises up into the sky.

A dragon swoops over a blasted landscape, its rider prepares to shoot an arrow from the dragons back.
Two women stand ready to fight in a mysterious combined landscape of ruins and alien flora, lit in a violet light.
A knight stands holding a mace, they are wearing a filthy cape and have a lantern filled with worms, their hounskull is crowned with a pair of antlers.
A barbarian stands atop a staircase wielding a large sword, he is surrounded by skeletons who seem to wish him harm. All are bathed in a scarlet light.

Nerding out for those who play #DasSchwarzeAuge: which kind of character would you play in such a setting?
Last time, I played an half-elf from Festum who called himself a "professional problem solver", very found of himself.
An adventurer party of an Achmad'sunni, a dwarf in ancient armor and an Achaz mage are discovering an old lizardmen temple in the midst of a a misty swamp. There is a huge temple structure in the back of the image with, maybe, something that might be a hundreds meters long living serpent.
The Achaz mage and the dwarf in ancient armor are looking at a lizardmen shrine and trying to understand the meaning. The Achaz is casting a light spell.
A close up of the Achmad'sunni woman with turban and serpent eyes. She is holding a torch and is ready to protect her fellow adventurers.

Three adventurers exploring ancient ruins in the swamps of #Selem. An #Achmad'sunni, an #Achaz mage, and a #dwarf. A typical adventurer party in such a place. Mist, silence, and something dark lurking in the past.
Such a beautiful piece of art. I love the guitar!
