is anyone RPG podcast/interviewer interested in doing a segment on omios ures? I want to – no, I MUST – talk about it. (rascal I am looking politely...)

Weow! If I guessed correctly, my artwork is a very tiny fraction of this particular collection (a fantasy art collection of some 15,000 works). This is incredible news! www.altoonamirror.com/news/local-n...

Signed a few Slay the Spire boardgame boxes here in my old Capitol Hill haunt! Can't believe it all started near here back in 2015. #slaythespire #seattle

"Fabled Passage". I'm often asked 'What is your favorite MTG piece you've made?'. I've given a variety of answers over the years; it's not easy to choose a favorite child. This one gave the most freedom to do my thing, and it's my phone background. It's got a good claim to the title.

New artwork for Numenera! "To Emerald City Above", acrylics 20x10''. Btw, this is definitely my weird take on Wizard of Oz. The city is obvious, but I rather enjoyed interpreting the adventuring party riding a giant dog-eared jellyfish with a sphinx, robot, and construct in the mix.

New artwork I painted for Numenera! "Under Earth, Over Flame", acrylics 20x10''. They've got a campaign called 'The Amber Archive' going currently that's already raised a cool half mil, so go check that out.

More artist proofs, these were nods to classic computer games I love!

More artist proof fun! As is often the case, repainting the art from the card front is the most popular choice.

I'm happy to say that my piece, 'Greyhawk' will be making an appearance in the Infected By Art annual publication later this year! Many, many thanks again to my art director on the piece, Kate Irwin, for entrusting me with such a classic D&D landmark!

Next up, I'll be exhibiting in Milwaukee in a few weeks! Back into the Midwestern winter I go, for the first time in years.😆 Come say hi if you're in the neighborhood: these events are always free to enter if you're just coming to see the artists.

I so happy that two of my pieces from the 'MTG in Miniature' show at Gallery Nucleus have sold! It's a show with 333 paintings & drawings by 111 MTG artists on the backs of artist proofs. It's well worth checking out if just for the sheer variety of art.

"The Oracle" piece for Numenera, 2018 or 2019. I had the pleasure to recently make some new art for Numenera, stay tuned....

Working on an acrylic "repaint" of a (other than sketches) digital piece from a few years back! It felt like the sort of physical meditation I needed after a busy weekend in Portland. "Bloodstained Mire"

The Littlest Art Director just had his convention debut: made his first three sales here at SCG Portland!

All set up here at SCG Portland! Come say hi if ypu're in the area this weekend: it's free to enter.

Sorry, all out of Dragons! Back to landscapes, here's one I painted for Numenera in 2017. "Between Mountains"

Continuing through my dragons painted in recent years, I call this one 'Blue Guardian', for D&D, Shadow of the Dragon Queen

"Portal to Ysgardium", D&D, Planescape. Technically not dragons in this one, but dragon eels come pretty close! Better hope your living raven-boat gets you to safety.

"Silver's Vengeance", D&D Shadow of the Dragon Queen, 2022. I figured I'd show off some of my more 'serious' dragons as well. There's a few fun narrative moments happening as people try to escape her wrath.

I thought 'long and hard' about what I wanted to post for #dragonappreciationday #appreciateadragonday. I've painted official dragons for Dungeons & Dragons, after all. However, perhaps it's most appropriate to show a dragon "appreciating" and in turn being appreciated by another dragon?

Today I stopped by Wizards HQ to see a Dragon about a Dungeon, or perhaps the other way around! I'm kicking myself that I forgot to take a selfie with the Squen and Cragg muppets who were also hanging out there.

I encourage everyone competing with me in any way to use as much AI as they can. When your enemy is making a mistake, don't interrupt them. This a guarantee their blade is gonna chip and shatter.

OMIOS URES IS OUT! My classless, level-less RPG set in a weird fantasy world is available as Early Access, pay-what-you-like! Get it HERE: matheusgraef.itch.io/omios-ures Full overview of the system + extra images in the replies! Shares & reposts are super appreciated!

Ohoho, I'm heading to Portland next week for my first convention of the year! On the one hand, I do like to hibernate in my art cave for the winter; on the other hand, Portland is a very short drive away. I always have a good time, raiding their bookstores and food trucks if nothing else!

Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm Bruce Brenneise, an illustrator of otherworldly landscapes for games like MTG, D&D, Numenera and Slay the Spire! You can check out more at: www.brucebrenneise.com

A new painting recently on the easel!

Ok, this was pretty exciting for me. I've sent my art to some far off destinations before, but this might just be tied for most remote (so far)! I'm glad it'll be enjoyed in an interesting corner of the world.

Have some wintry vibes? Cover illustration I was honored to paint for the KQV Remastered album a few years ago!

It's hard to choose the best, or even my favorites. If you didn't manage to catch all that I've been up to (revealed in 2025), here are some pieces that felt like highlights for various reasons.

A demo drawing for a mentee from today. Believe it or not, that's me, circa early December 2006, kicking a sand dune in the Taklamakan desert!

Today is my birthday! 🎂 I feel grateful for everyone who supports me, my art and the work I love. It makes even the hardest days brighter and gives me the strength to keep creating🫶 If you could spare a repost, it would mean a lot and help my work reach more people 🤗

Making fun plans for next year!

A couple more AP paintings I finished and sent off to their commissioners the other week! It continues to be fun expanding what I'm capable of putting onto such a small surface.

I'm enjoying these D&D paintings of mine hanging in my dining area!

This was fun! A shot of the panel I was on at Tabletop.Me last month.

Silver's Vengeance, 2022, for D&D's Shadow of the Dragon Queen. Although not something I paint very often, I do enjoy the challenge of painting dragons when I get the chance. A very nostalgic piece for me, since I grew up with Dragonlance!

"Inauspicious Birth", personal piece, 2018. It sometimes feels we're born into such a cruel world, but it *could* be worse.

I'm pleased to be taking part (once again) in the third Magic the Gathering in Miniature gallery show @gallerynucleus.bsky.social in Los Angeles next month! 111 MTG artists are taking part. Here are the three pieces I'll be submitting. Any guesses on which cards these are painted on the back of?

Sometimes you just need a laugh, and as silly as this particular project was, I was laughing throughout! "Ruckus in the Orchard", 2017 or so.

Another early career piece I'm proud of for Numenera: 'The Isle of Forbidden Cultivations'

I'll be sharing some old work for a bit! This one is from 2016. 'Fourth Mark', commissioned by Lone Shark Games for Numenera.

Ask yourself if kids prefer toys, or stores. Games from a generation ago were allowed to be toys. Games today are forced to be stores.

Finally got my hands on this beauty that I did two illustrations for!

Last show of the year! Yes, there were too many shows this year. 😅 Nonetheless, I'm excited to be here in chilly Salt Lake for Dragonsteel! Come say hi if you're at the show! Booth E40.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

"Things Left Behind", personal piece from 2019 or so. I'm always trying to remind myself to save some time for personal work like this, but I haven't been terribly effective at doing so.

The final D&D piece I get to share for now, from Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun! Plus the painting (acrylic, 12x16) when it was in progress while I was visiting my in-laws in China this past winter. Harrowdale AD: Emi Tanji

My easel as I headed off to Vegas this morning....

Las Vegas this weekend! See some of you there. :-)

"Shadowdale" D&D Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun AD: Emi Tanji I was incredibly honored to paint this one (acrylic, 16x12 in.), because Shadowdale is one of THE most iconic places in all of Faerun!
