Come for the prints, stay for the awesome behind the scenes content. Or vice versa.

More drawing details from my work on The Green Bone Saga (3/4). Prints of this piece are still available through the end of the week! www.tommyarnoldart.com/prints

It's so, so cool when different artists work on the same book, seeing everyone's interpretations of the characters and how they bring about the tone of the story, which elements each person is drawn to, etc. I also got to see Tommy go absolutely super saiyan on this painting, which was also cool.

And that's a wrap! A massive storming thank-you to everyone who picked up a print and helped spread the word. I couldn't do what I do without all of you. The first round of proofs is already on its way from the printer and I'll post updates here and on my website as they become available. ⛈️❤️

Some of my past work for the #stormlightarchive by Brandon Sanderson, created for the official 10th Anniversary leatherbound editions from @dragonsteelbooks.com. Only 24 hours left to grab these limited-edition prints, including these exclusive 2nd editions of prints from years past!

Only 3 days left to grab prints! A storming big thank-you to everyone who's picked one up so far ❤️🌩️

Hold onto your Spren! My official painting of Kaladin Stormblessed, from the great @brandonsanderson.com is now available as a limited-edition print for 5 days ONLY! I'm also offering exclusive second-editions of my other #stormlight work for this very limited time. ➡️www.micahepsteinart.com/prints

Handful of digital portraits from this summer :) Sometimes when I'm painting in oils, it feels like my brain is running a totally different software than when I'm behind a tablet. I've been working on training my digital brain to think a bit more like it does when there's a brush in my hand.

I made this available as a print in my shop. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Point of Pride, an organization dedicated to providing Trans people financial aid for transition care Transition care IS life saving, it saved MY life. If my art has ever meant anything to you, please help

Tommy's posting some excellent Media Content 🤖♥️

Never thought I'd paint Hatsune Miku, let alone for Magic, but it was SO much fun. Referencing an anime style while making everything work in my own sensibility was a very odd, very fun challenge. "Miku, Queen Electric" for #magicthegathering Secret Lair. #hatsunemiku #mtg #anime AD Jacob Covey

It's been way too long since I've painted a lightsaber. Been sitting on this one for a while; stoked to finally be able to post it! Asajj Ventress for the Star Wars: Legion miniature game. She's so awful, I love her <3 Many thanks to AD Preston Stone! ©LFL ©AMG #starwars #clonewars #art

Eli crushin' it as usual

Happy Pride everybody! 🌈 My covers for 'Together in a Broken World' by @pmwintersauthor.bsky.social, 'The Lotus Empire' by @tashasuri.bsky.social, and 'The Hourglass Throne' by @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social To name just a few works of fantastic LGBTQ+ fiction you can check out any time of year.

Who doesn't love a good villain?? Interior I painted for Subterranean's 'Jade City' by Fonda Lee! This scene of Gont Asch in the Twice Lucky was too good a character moment not to paint it. More on this piece and so much more over on my PATREON, patreon.com/micahepsteinart! #illustration #booksky

If seeing the process behind the art is your thing, there's a full breakdown and possibly-too-detailed writeup on how I painted this piece over on my Patreon, along with lots of other goodies.

My endpaper art for Jade City! At long last, I'm getting around to sharing my art for Subterranean Press's illustrated edition of Fonda Lee's incredible Green Bone saga. And, bonus: there's a FREE deep-dive into my painting process for this piece over on my Patreon! patreon.com/micahepsteinart

A wild Martina appears!

Let's get this #PortfolioDay started! I'm Micah: illustrator, concept artist, drawing geek. You may know my work from book covers, games, #mtgart, and my shiny behind-the-scenes Patreon over at patreon.com/micahepsteinart!

It's not every day that your bestie illustrates one of your all-time favorite series and CRUSHES it. Been waiting for @tommyarnoldart.com to make prints of these for YEARS and they're finally here! (for 5 days only!)

Always loved this line and others acknowledging this particular bit of lore in practice, beyond just background detail. I love stories where humans as a species are shown to be distinct and unusual, rather than the normative default.

A world without Trans people has never existed, and it never will. More than visibility, we need safety 🏳️‍⚧️

I wrote an article! Been thinking a lot about doing art and maintaining habits in the face of Life happening and most importantly, being kind to oneself. Plus a little peek at a bunch of new art! For more like this and many more goodies, consider joining my Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/art-vs...

Another major drawing inspiration--Julian has been one of my favs for years

One of the all-time greats!!

770 days ago, I set out to try and finally 'git gud' at drawing. Every day since then I've spent an hour practicing and trying to push myself. It's very personal to me, and I've kept it to myself until now. I've decided to finally open up and share my efforts over on patreon.com/micahepsteinart!

I'll be doing a FREE public drawing livestream and answering questions tonight at 8pm EST! Head on over to patreon.com/micahepsteinart for the link. I'll be doing one of these every week for Patrons from next week onward, so consider joining if you have a good time!

I'VE STARTED A PATREON. If you'd like weekly art livestreams with Q&A, new work with a look into my process (starting off with a deep dive into how I painted Kal here!), and my Super Secret Project, check it out at patreon.com/micahepsteinart . . . 'Kaladin Stormblessed' ©2023 Brotherwise Games

"Three Kings," a Wild Cards novel by Melinda Snodgrass and George RR Martin. Bit of an older piece, but still one of my favs: it's a real treat when an outside-chance "why not" type sketch ends up getting the green light, for which I have AD Peter Lutjen and author/editor George RR Martin to thank.

Signed tip-in sheets for the @subpress.bsky.social edition of Jade War

Quick lil' Abe, vibing with my monster-drawing roots and love of Doug Jones' work.

New work! I had the honor of painting the endpapers for the 10th anniversary leatherbound edition of 'The Bands of Mourning' by Brandon Sanderson. This one here is the closing endpaper, featuring our boy Wax. Thanks as always to delightful AD Isaac Stewart. #mistborn #art #brandonsanderson

Migrating over here in search of bluer skies. To start things off, and in honor of the impending release of 'Wind and Truth,' here's some of my past work for the lovely folk over at Dragonsteel for Brandon Sanderson's 'Stormlight Archive'!
