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 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

I got what I believe is a product sample from a place that prints MTG tokens
Although I appreciate someone reaching out to send me samples...that do look good.
HOWEVER, its really not a good look to send an artist you want to use your services with AI tokens. Sending nothing would have been better
