Spring is in the air, so no better time to share my forest elemental dragon. I still love the "belly plates" on this one.

Master of the Woods 2020

I have always struggled to get colors to look how I want when I am using procreate. I sually have to switch over to PS to tweak everything.

I started adding color to this piece while I was traveling to and from conventions. Now home I was able to tweak the colors to something I am happy with.

Value study for my blue dnd dragon. Having a strong value base makes the painting process so much easier.

"The Mountain Pass" has been far and away my most popular piece at my shows this year. Pretty easy to see why. Snow covered mountains just hit all the right notes.

Lord of the Rings certainly helps too

As I start work on my next dnd dragon, I thought I would look back at my green dragon. So many fun details in this piece.

As new work gets finished I have to say goodbye to some pieces to make room for what is new. What do you think? is it time to send my gold dragon to a farm upstate, or does he have some good years left?

You know, these last 4 weeks have been a blur. But one of the things I did want to look back on was that my painting "Home of the Horse Lords" sold while at Awesomecon!

This is the largest original painting sale I ever had, and I am so thrilled it is going to a wonderful home

I have been travelling for the past month doing 4 conventions in 4 weeks. Finally home and finally able to start work on the next piece.

Its been almost a year since I finished my green dnd dragon. Time to start working on the blue dragon. Here is the finished drawing

cant wait to start painting

All set up and ready to go for MegaCon Orlando

I am in artist alley PR 537 all weekend, if you are at the show stop by and say hi

who doesnt like getting mail? For the rest of the month anyone that joins my $10 tier over on the P- T - R - E - O - N will get these two 5x7 mini prints mailed right to you. And will get a mini print for every new finished piece.

Throwback thursday to this sea dragon I painted back in 2018

Keeper of the Seas

Sea dragons overall seem to be less represented than their winged cousins. We need to see some more sea dragons!

And here is the finished playmat design!

Infernal Fire

prints, playmats and metal prints are all available in the online shop

Its always awesome when your art inspires more art. Good friend Joshua Cyckevic composed this song based off of this dragon illustration.
So what better music to use for the process video than his.
Go check out more of his music on his soundcloud

Throwback thursday to this angel piece I did back in 2016 as a MTG sample illustration. It has been a while since I have done a figure piece, let alone an angel. And I have some cool ideas kicking around for one.

More work on the model, added in the head of the dragon, while also learning how to make custom patterns/textures.

those are some mighty fine belly plates if I dont say so myself. I am also quite proud of that hand.

more work on this 3d model I have been kicking around in Nomad

in addition to starting to add detail to the front legs, I also took a stab at adding in the rocks the dragon is standing on and playing around with some lighting. This is going to be so helpful when I do the final painting

With the print version of the painting done. I am starting the process of extending the artwork to turn this into a tabletop gaming playmat. Off to a good start so far

I have really enjoyed nomad so far, but have heard good things about brush

May have to check it out at some point

throwback thursday to one of my favorite paintings that I have done.

Keep of the Dragon Lords 2018

This is still one of the two images of mine that I have as my computer backdrop

I want to get better at sculpting in 3d programs, as well as getting better reference for paintings. So why not kill two birds with one stone. I am trying to re create my dragon drawing in nomad sculpt on my ipad. So far so good I think

I have been kicking around on this drawing on and off for several months, I think I finally found the "it" that I have been searching for with it.

Starting to get excited with this one

And here is the finished piece! I had so much fun painting that molten lava. Prints and mats coming soon.

and here are some close ups

Who doesnt love a good lightning dragon?

Into the Storm 2022

A few of my favorite dragon drawings I have done the past few years

Which one is your favorite?

More progress on this dragon. I repainted the face and started to render out the obsidian horns/shards. Really coming together now

process breakdown of my painting "Edge of the World"

prints and playmats available on my website

More progress on my lava dragon. Wings and arms are just about done. Really starting to come together now

It has been so cold here recently I feel like my giant frozen ice dragon has taken up residence nearby

King of Winter 2019

Having a blast painting these molten lava wings
