Strong women have always been at the heart of Myre’s story. Over time, they became leaders and fighters, holding their ground in a harsh and unforgiving landscape.

Photo shows a sketchbook sitting open on a wooden desk easel. The sketchbook shows a painting created with gouache paint, an opaque watercolor medium. The painting depicts a nature scene of a pathway between large redwood trees on a sunny day with bright light shining through green leaves.

Spontaneous post to say Thank You for being patient with me and my art.

I really look forward to picking up commissions and working with clients on art again!

Like many others, life and work have had me feeling stressed, slow, and distracted. But, creativity fills my cup and mends my soul!

Framed by a full moon rising over hilltop, a female warrior poses triumphantly with her foot on the corpse of a defeated foe. Her heavy armor is a combination of segmented plate and exposed chainmail. Pauldrons flare wing-like, as does the bottom of her helm which is topped with a high tassel. Unrestrained wispy blonde hair is caught by the breeze. She holds a long spear with ribbons also stirring. A heavy mace hangs on her opposite hip while a sword with thin curving blade and crescent ornament on the grip hangs low on her back. A black steed cranes its neck ever so slightly to see around her.

When doing a cover for an anthology, I usually just had to come up with an image that communicated the underlying theme tying the stories together, and then run with it. 1/3

So I watched Goat last weekend and then wanted to draw Basketball.

I'm pleased that I had references, but I used my brain to change the angle and pose a bit and make the perspective a little more extreme~

First photograph of a sculpture of a Werewolf-goddess holding the moon with Candles on the moon 

During the dark winter days the moon is lighting up the darkness.
The wolf takes the form of a goddess, because they both share a fate. Once seen in high regard both have been shunned by humans leading warfare against nature, the wolf & the female body
Both them became associated with sin & evil forces, degraded by the urges & greed of mankind
Sun carrier became sun eater disregarding the cycle of rebirth, goddess became the evil witch...

Winter slowly fading & in many folklores the wolf was animal of this transitionary time between "life & death"
Wolves mate in the deep of winter now the she-wolf is symbolically carrying the young sun into the new year.

I haven't done shading in my sketches for more than 25 years. Always felt like it could put the lines at risk of becoming unreadable. It is strange how we creatively change over time.

To each of you,

Be defiant. Do your best. Get in good trouble. Have community. Be weird. Be kinky. Above all, be you and LIVE.

Don’t let the manufactured horrors of this world snuff your human spirit.

Good is the light you bring, damned be the dark they sling.

You are loved.

An illustration of a goliath hunter on his mount in snowy mountain terrain, facing off against a crag cat.  The Goliath is a young man, dressed in brown and white furs, accented with red and blue woven panels. He wields a red horsebow.  His mount is a mixture of a reindeer and a markhor goat. His tack and gear matches the colors and motifs of his rider. He is mid leap.  In the foreground, a white sabertoothed cat pursues the pair.  In the background are snowy peaks and Giant ruins.

A cleric astride a flying broom raises a glowing sword above a battle field. Golden, rays of bright light stream out from the sword. Her party members and herself are wrapped in golden glowing flowers and vines. They stare up at her in awe. 

The party members, counter clockwise from the top left are: A dwarven artificer wearing jeweltones and riding a magic carpet, the cleric wearing a gold breastplate and blue robes; a giant fighter in full adamantine plate and a dragon helm; a half-drow Psi-fighter in blues and purples, floating mid-air and holding her crossbow; and a tiefling ranger, arms stretched out in joy and relief.

Behind the party members is a truly gargantuan giant, you can see him only up to his knees. He wears silver greaves and you can catch a glimpse of his great axe.

Ruins of a city are in the distant background.

TEXT: Pistolheart, A Western Campaign supplement for Daggerheart by Carlos Cisco

A train with a big green crystal in the front is coming toward the viewer while two gunslingers, one a fungril and the other a clank, leap from their mounts (a roadrunner and a robot horse) onto the train. Bandits on top of the train fire at them with guns.

Two spot illustrations side by side...

A group of four Wild West bandits, "Black Hats". 

Left to right: A Baboon-based Simiah in a decorated military uniform, looking down the barrel of a sniper rifle. An androgynous Drakona, wearing a long black leather duster, holding two pistols across their chest.  A Tricloptic Giant in tattered miners clothing, holding an unloaded shotgun in one hand and tossing two cartridges up in the air with the other.  A gaunt human woman wearing a hiked up dress and ragged black straw hat. In one hand she aim's a pistol at the view, in the other she grips a small gardening rake.

A crimson-skinned Inferni woman riding a dire javelina steed.  She wears a black hat and leather chaps, a lasso draped around chest. With one hand she holds the reins, with the other she aims a revolver.

I often get confused by jackets and collars, so I wanted more practice and study of clothing.
