Do you have a "breakthrough" piece? That painting where things suddenly clicked and your path forwards became that little bit clearer? This was mine.pic.twitter.com/y4hrPOuQwT

I'd spent my career dreaming about working on MTG without ever really understanding what made a successful card illustration. I focused so much on technique (which is part of it), but this was the first time I really dug into the idea of NARRATIVE and creating a story in a piece.
I completely changed how I approached art. Rather than rushing straight into the painting, I took my time to think about a story I wanted to tell, a mood I wanted to convey, a place I wanted to evoke. It isn't perfect, but I'm still really proud of it.
The illustration is called Pledge of the Fallen. It is accompanied by this short poem: "Offerings to Wardens old, We pledge these virgin souls. That you may take them 'neath the waves, To kingdoms, deep and cold." - Norric pledge.
Love that sea! Mine is by no means perfect, but was this one below. In the preceding piece I got way better at using reference but hadn't quite integrated everything how I wanted, but this one came together well with the lighting :)pic.twitter.com/p408k3rnfw
that's so great to read! Reference is so powerful, you can always tell when an artist starts using it properly as their work just LEAPS forwards :) Really lovely work, thanks for sharing!
What a breakthrough too! It seems getting your head around water and waves could help.. this was mine I think.pic.twitter.com/6tq5N9N3cu
This one is stunning!
still yet to create one :')
it'll happen :)
I think id asked before if you had any Dark Souls inspiration and you had said no. Getting some of those vibes from this but its probably just me. That setting just has its hooks in my brain.
I take HUGE inspiration from the Souls games in terms of how they tell stories and create spaces! I may have meant in terms of direct visual inspiration, but even then I might have been naive in saying that :) Those games definitely changed something about me.
