Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for @brucedraws.bsky.social letting me help him out in his booth a couple years ago. Can't ever thank you enough, friend. Helped me get into Magic and introduced me to the MAGIC of chinese hot pot.
Hope I'll be sitting alongside you in a MagicCon one day. :)

I fuckin love tc_hydro and I am glad you do too. I can recollect exactly how it felt to wander that map for the first time in 2007. Genuinely, there was nothing like it. I could go on vc in impromptu and ramble about that map for hours. Okay! I'm gonna read your blog post now.
Was fun to work her expression!
Joe, the fans want to know when is "at some point" gonna be.....
A black robed wizard, embroided with stars, stands on top of a stone peak. Behind him, the vastness of the world. The early morning creeps amidst the ravines, painting the world in coy lilacs and deep purples. A city of horned spires jolts from the stony wastes, illuminated in bright cosmopolitan oranges. An alien zeppelin flares out its floodlights at the rooftops and beyond. The wizard stares at the viewer, though we do not see within his cloak and hood. Blackness. From the void creeps out two marble-white hands, old as time, covered in rings, gesturing in unknown signs. OMIOS URES
Two Carverine (orc-like humanoids), a male and a female, ride alongside eachother, on top of war hippos. They hold each other's arms. With the other hand, the female orc displays a freshly decapitated head - the enemy king. While the male lifts his axe up in prideful show. Both orcs have red hair and pinkish-gray skin, similar to the hippos they ride upon. The carverine have long, elephant like tusks, and wear minimal bronze armor.

A giant cyclops. Slender, female. Her armor is golden bronze, made of large plates with shield-sized domes protusions, which help veer off attacks. She wears a golden diadem, golden earrings, and her single eye is bright blue. Her armor shines from the warm light that trickles into the large chamber, pouring in from an off-scene oculus. Her face partially in the dark, tall that she is, only illuminated partially by the bounce lighting of her armor. Her right arm adjusts her belt, while her left arm is lifted, underneath it; we see a shirtless servant on top of a tall staircase, tying the laces of her bracer. The staircase is built of beige stone. The bracer is almost the size of this person. By the cyclops' feet, we see two other servants donning her greaves. One of them holds the giant slab of bronze in place, while the other, behind the cyclops' calf, ties up the laces. The floor is a white marble tile, giving the entire scene a slight reflection. Did you know a single greave of this Cyclops weighs around 150 kilos? Behind the Princes Warrior, we see a 2 story tall greataxe. It is brightly illuminated by the single shaft of light that brightens the entire room. In fact, the entire scene is illuminated either by the natural light, or the bounce lighting of the cyclops' armor, giving the entire painting a warm look. The chamber is large and tall, made of stone, to accomodate the Princess Warrior. A small brazier burns incense, permeating the room with a pleasant odor of cloves. Behind the Cyclops and her servants, three noble folk overlook her befitting from a balcony. The balcony sits at the height of the Cyclops' head. One woman smokes, the man in the middle lifts a goblet with a grin, and the leftmost woman looks simply bored. There's a glass pitcher hewn with gold half-filled with wine next to them.
Heavily inspired by Morrowind, Planescape and 70's Star Wars with a dash of bronze age and art nouveau. The mood? Conan after Conan: all the heroes are dead and this is the world they built.
That's OMIOS URES, my weird fantasy RPG. And it's FREE on itch.io!

two fantasy illustrations side by side: The Night Washer - a painting depicting a dangerous-looking old woman with long dark hair, long pointy nose, yellow glowing eyes and a wicked smirk. She is up to her thighs in river water, washing a bloodied sheet of linen. The scene is in darkness, with a strip of lighting illuminating her only partially. The surface of the water is covered in duckweed and there are ravens flying around the figure. The figure has metal coin jewelry woven into her wild, dark hair that falls down her back and into the water like a thick blanket. There is a full moon visible in the reflection of the water. The text at the bottom reads: “Charlie Newt Borovský @EyeOfTheNewt” and “© Crow&Crown 2026”. The Gryndylow Coven: Peg Powler: Painterly digital illustration of a cackling hag emerging from a pond. She is chubby, with dark green skin, pointy teeth and wild curly hair. There are water lilies in the duckweed covered water around her and she holds a jar filled with human fingers and eyes. Her expression is cute but scary as she seems to be cackling, clutching the jar to her chest. On her head, there is a large spiky leaf fashioned into a hat. Nelly Longarms: She is lanky, with long clawed arms, sitting on a river rock and folding her arms under her chin in a cutesy expression. Her arms and legs are covered in fish scales and on her head there is a pointed headdress resembling horns. Her face is framed with shiny coins and she wears an extravagant leather armor and long flowy skirt with tassels and ribbons hanging down. Peg Powler: She is tall, clothed in algae and seaweed, with blood covering her chin and dripping down her chest.The hair from her head flows down and turns into algae as it cascades over her shoulders. There are clam shells hanging down her attire like jewelry and her algae skirt is full, sinking down into the water she stands in. The surface is stained with the same blood we can see on her face and hand.
digital illustration showing a scarecrow construct tipping his hat as he's about to leave into a dry corn field, from which ghosts of farm people are emerging. There is a banjo at his back and the large crescent moon has a wicked face on it. The text at the bottom shows the Avantris Entertainment logo and reads: ©Crooked Moon 2024 Charlie "Newt" Borovský @eyeofthenewt.
An assembly of digitally painted environments depicting: column 1: 1. A mossy waterfall in a forest with beads hanging from branches and votive trees at the sides 2. A sunlit water shrine with a small waterfall in the background. There are offerings on the stones in the foreground column 2: 3. A sunrise river with birds at the banks and fog in the background. 4.A dark lake with a small orange moon above it. There are small boats tied at the edge in the foreground and the trees are bare. 5. A couple small thermal pools with steam rising from them with a stone formation and a forest in the background. column 3: 6. A sunlit river with lush trees at the sides and some seaweed at the surface. 7. A gloomy abandoned village submerged halfway in waters which spill from a dam in the distance. The scene is overlooked by a large mountain in the background and birds nest on the destroyed roofs as debris floats below. 8. An overcast scene of a river surrounded by trees. There is duckweed and algae on the water surface.
An assembly of digitally painted portraits depicting: Row 1: 1. A sick looking man in proper yet threadbare clothing wringing out his hands in a bloodied handkerchief as he stares at the viewer, frowning, with glazed over eyes like ones of a corpse. His hair is light brown and messily pulled into a ponytail. He stands on dark background and there is a thin golden oval frame enclosing his portrait 2. A sad looking young man with a long hooked nose and large eyes with bags under them. His hair is dark and windswept reaching down to his chin. He is well dressed in a victorian attire with a yellow cravat and the background he stands in front of is yellow as well. The portrait is oval shaped and lays on a dark background. 3. A white haired stern looking woman holding a gold rectangular puzzle box in her hands. She is depicted in darkness and the portrait is framed by a neutral brown oval. Row 2: 4. A white haired black woman in a fancy Victorian green jacket embellished with floral embroidery. She has pearl earrings on and reflective eyes both of which glint in the light. The background is dark but there is an oval frame made out of thorned branches enclosing her. 5. A dark haired woman with tired features holds a hand up to her eye and looks up concerned. There is a drop of blood coming from her nose and her eyes are the darkest spot on the painting. The frame is oval and dark. 6. A young scared looking maid looks to her side as she is enveloped by large leathery bat wings. There is a glint of an eye in the darkness behind her and the oval frame the painting is in is engraved with bark like motifs with stylised eyes set into the grain.

A sorceress astounded by her freshly sculpted homunculus. A single shaft of light illuminates her creation. Bounce lighting reflects upon the sorceress. The homunculus has a flaccid butt. The maker's hands are covered in fresh clay. They are the only body parts of the sorceress that are directly lit. Faint, residual purple smoke wisps from her fingertips: the homunculus stands in an awkward pose, that of a creature freshly adjusting to its body. The homunculus has thin limbs and a hefty torso, though it is faced against the viewer. The sorceress's workshop is littered in sculpting tools, brushes, an open tome of transmutation, ceramic bowls and a pitcher of dirty clay water in which lie a few of these tools. Clay shavings are scattered about the floor. A red, runic circle surrounds the humonculus. In the dark background it is possible to catch a few failed prototypes on a shelf.
Two Carverine (orc-like humanoids), a male and a female, ride alongside eachother, on top of war hippos. They hold each other's arms. With the other hand, the female orc displays a freshly decapitated head - the enemy king. While the male lifts his axe up in prideful show. Both orcs have red hair and pinkish-gray skin, similar to the hippos they ride upon. The carverine have long, elephant like tusks, and wear minimal bronze armor.
A bottomless chasm, miles wide, takes up more than two thirds of the image. The distant horizon harbors a silent city. The sky a dark blue, it is moments before dawn. We stand on the precipice, observing a single lit candle, burning a green flame. A humble prayer to the Buried God.

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Matheus from Brazil!
I've worked for Magic: the Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, Age of Mythology: Retold, Draw Steel & more.
On the looser end of the brushstroke, here's a selection of personal work that I really enjoy.
Men on horseback pass over a river on a wooden bridge. Art by Hal Foster from Prince Valiant.
Hal Foster. I love how the reflections are just shapes of colour against white. So beautiful.
Thank you! And nope, that's just the alt text I came up with, but I just revisited the email and the brief isn't far off from that!
Painting of a white owlin (chonky owl person) wearing a Lorehold outfit (red leather with golden motifs resembling topographical markings, which in turn makes it look like organic-looking linework, white cloth, her outfit dotted with pockets etc), flying over a ruined town, carrying an open scroll and archiving upon it magic data from the surroundings, in the form of glowing symbols. The Owlin looks happy. Warm magic glow shines from within the scroll.
Last one for Secrets of Strixhaven! I'm particularly fond of this one. I crafted a little paper wing to use as reference for the subsurface scattering seen here.

yeah! that's what I meant. it's overly realistic, full of grit and veins, weirdo shit.
Good call. Thanks to my presence there I've been invited to a podcast and live events so I haven't completely ditched it. That being said, I still use it but no more than 2 minutes at a time.
I literally don't get how people can use Instagram for more than a couple minutes. It's a bloated product filled to the brim with ads, a personality-less copycat trying all the tricks in the book to stay relevant. It just feels so desperate and pathetic. Would you want to fuck someone like that?
1. Open app
2. Scroll stories
3. See ad
4. See another ad
5. Close app
Also, shoving reels between chats and your feed was a disgusting and desperate move. It annoys me whenever I accidentally see a reel amidst swiping to/from feed/chat; I instantly close the app.
the sausage guy design is awful and you can tell it was made by a man with zero taste
it doesn't surprise me. facepunch was a noxious place.

Well. My soul would be trapped in a river stone by now.
Holy shit, that's gorgeous!
to be fair it is very entertaining to witness their desperation at this point
thank you!!
how many licks does it take to cast scrying
omios ures is gorgeous and plays like an electric fiddle in a bar fight. get it now:
painting of a wicked cool dark crystal ball with rainbow-like reflections within, standing on an art nouveau stand text reads: THE EMPYREAN This Aspect favors all those who dabble in the mystery of Ritual and the Arcane. Whether the spellcaster chooses to service good or evil, they must never forget that Magic is ever an exchange between the conjurer and the beyond, always favoring the latter. In order to cast spells, a character must pick at least one School of Choice or Elementalist Feat.
okay I'm pretty sure I nailed the look for this crystal ball
