An attempted grey-scale portrait painting of the protagonist of a new story idea, done by following a tutorial on YouTube. Snow White, but make it queer, up the magic, and take Evil Queen Necromancy to it’s fullest potential. Plus, it’s a multigenerational story. May 24th, 2021.

An illustration based on a series of moments in a friend’s D&D campaign that I was allowed to sit in on, wherein the characters were all confronted by the antagonist with a choice: join him, and he’ll help them travel through time to fix their greatest regret. I’m incredibly pleased with the composition of this piece, and some of the character illustrations. May 26th, 2019.
