Mother Jupiter
Finally, the dragon based on a planet that I was working on for a contest is done! This was very fun to do and way out of what I usually do, so I learned a lot doing this.As you can tell, this dragon is based on Jupiter. I used plenty of references of the planet in order to capture all the subtle colours on its surface...
WIPs - Esks, Dragons and Milestones
Hello! It's been a little while since I gave some news, so allow me to catch up on what I've been doing.The first tome of Bound Fates is coming along well! I reached my first milestone of having reached 100 pages! (technically 101) Only a little bit of the fourth chapter to go for the storyboard stage, then the...

The Child lived freely and happily,Drowning in affection and love,With lasting peace and tranquility,He knew not of the darkness aboveSheltered from the start to the End,The Caretaker cradled the young;“I will be with you ‘til you Ascend,Child, leave not your fate unsung”“You are special, my sweet dear child,A ...
The Last Child of Sarren - Step-by-Step
Here is the step-by-step of "The Last Child of Sarren" painting! I fiddled a lot with the background for this one, but in the end I am very glad with what I went with.
The Scorched One Step-by-Step
Long overdue, but here is the step-by-step process of "The Scorched One"! I definitely had fun playing around with the fire in this piece as you can see, as well as all the different warm shades of gold, crimson and orange.
Dreaming of Spring
I started this a while ago and forgot about it, so I went back and finished it! Something simple and quick, winter never ends over here and truth be told, I am tired of it and so is Beast. :DI am very much looking forward to Spring so I can be more inspired to make foresty paintings.
The Last Child of Sarren
Here is a portrait of a very important character that will appear later down the line in Pale Blood, Okorrein the Black Dragon. I will not say much about him other than that you will hear his name often, though not explicitely talking about him directly. The Okorrein Fortress on the Iznugia Archipelago was named after ...
Pale Blood - The Witch of the Woods
Here we have another piece of promo art for Bound Fates! This one features Rillaya, a priestess who takes care of the Farryn Grove Temple. In this piece I mostly wanted to capture her elegance and her magic. I don't work enough with green and orange hues like this, so I also wanted to experiment with it!I hope you ...
WIPs - Storyboards, Witches and Dragons
Hey there! Been a while since I was able to post anything here, sorry about that! I have a lot on my table, and most of it are works-in-progress, especially the things relating to comics.First, the storyboards. As you can imagine, I'm right in the middle of the storyboard phase of the first volume of Pale Blood, an...
The Wetlands
Here is another Esk artwork, featuring the NPC Seventh! I absolutely love this character's design and just had to practice this kind of landscape with them, they are such a graceful creature. I feel all this Esk art will be useful in practicing varying landscapes, which I really need in my set of skills.I hope you ...
Overlook
This is a YCH for a client on dA!I had a blast working on this one as well, it's such a big contrast next to the last one in terms of light and subject. Going from a dark, mountain dragon with low light to a bright blue scene with a griffon. Couldn't ask for a better subject!I hope you like it!
Embrace
Happy Valentine's Day, my dears!For my traditional Valentine's couple image for this year, I decided to go with Mask and Rillaya, because they're truly the best coule of Pale Blood, hands down. x) This was very fun to work on, I actually love doing cute little images like this with embracing couples, and do...
Mountain Lord
This is a YCH for a client on dA!I always wanted to do a piece similar to this, with a dark background with lights streaming in, so this was a real pleasure to work on.Hope you like it!
Pale Blood - The Scorched One
"Have you heard the tales, traveler? About the one they call the Scorched One? Rage can only come alive in so many forms, but the wandering prince of Ook represents anger itself. Fire is a living spirit in his hands, and flames are his breath. Should you meet him and his shadows on the lonely roads, pray that you d...
Stained Glass Artur
Here's a fun little experiment! I tried to emulate the style of the stained glass images from Kingdom Hearts, and I actually learned a lot about stained glass in general. This was fun to make while waiting for KH3!
Knight
Here is something huge that I've been working on for quite a while; a huge scroll commission for my friend CelticQuailKnight!This is about her big story simply called Knight, which I fully recommend you keep an eye on (as of writing this it's still being worked on) as Celtic's writing skills are truly inspi...
WIP - Scorched One and Comic News
Here is a wip of another promo art for Bound Fates, this one featuring the "antagonist" of the story, Prince Dragon'ck! This piece is very different from the others I did so far, but I am having a blast with all that fire and those warm tones.I also have good news about the first volume of BF; I finished st...
Portrait of the Grandmother
So my plan is to join the ARPG group around the Esk species, and to start off with some practice I'll be drawing some of their characters! These make for great relaxation paintings, so they should be quite enjoyable between works. ^_^Hope you like it!
The Hollow Knight
I finally came around to making fanart of this game! I've been a fan for a long while now and I only ever did small doodles of these characters; it was about time I made a bigger piece featuring one of my favourite characters, the Hollow Knight himself. I cannot wait for the possible Hornet DLC! I had a lot of fun ...
Pale Blood - Foreword Page WIP
Here is a little wip of one of the early pages of Pale Blood! There will be two foreword pages before the story begins to set the mood, and we get to see a nice crystallized dragon overcome by Corruption. I can't wait to get started on the colours for these pages!

A little speedpaint to change my mind as I haven't been feeling too good lately. Loved working on the ice in this!
