I finally get to share some new work! Recently published in 'Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun', I give you 'Rashemen' AD: Emi Tanji (painting as it was in progress, vs final seen in the book)

Having a great time in the Emirates! I'm heading home tomorrow, but already looking forward to my next travels abroad.

A new artist proof painting coming with me to 'Tabletop.Me' this weekend! An alternate vision of Ancient Tomb.

I'm getting very antsy to reveal five pieces I painted for D&D's new Forgotten Realms books starting most of a year ago! More on this in a week, when I'm back from Dubai.

Very much looking forward to my trip to Dubai this weekend for the inaugural 'Tabletop.ME' event! It'll be my second trip to this most palatial city of the Middle East. Drop by and check out some cool art if you're also there!

This weekend a Halloween show in nearby Tacoma (LDXP), and next weekend I'll be in Dubai for Tabletop.ME! I'll have a selection of my freshest works with me for both, so come say hi! "Sword of Feast and Famine" for MTG: AC.

New Issue: BCS #443 out today, featuring stories by Chris Willrich @librariangoblin.bsky.social (a new Eldshore story) and @adrianwardwrites.bsky.social, a podcast of the Ward, cover art by Bruce Brenneise @brucedraws.bsky.social: www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/issues/issue...

Recent box AP commission!

I've been getting a LOT of people asking for this one, so sure, who am I stand against the will of the masses! 😅 Preorders for Ancient Tomb as a mat: www.brucebrenneise.com/shop/ancient...

I was recently honored to have my work featured on the cover of SFF magazine, @bcsmagazine.bsky.social. To the left, the cover, to the right, the full piece!

Still really proud of pulling off this artist proof painting! Those cards are a SMALL surface to be painting on.

Thankfully, I've got two and a half weeks at home. Then the long march begins with Houston and Baltimore. See some of you there!

They headed off to their new home! "The Defect", 20x24" acrylics. I had a really great time with this one.

"Sundial: Dawn Tyrant", illustrated for MTG Aetherdrift. I recently heard at a con that folks are calling my cryptid baby, 'Sunny D'. Love it!

I want to talk about generative AI because of the defeatist impulses chronicled in this article. While simply expresssing a defiant attitude cannot always change lived-in reality, in certain cases it definitely can. This is in part because, early on, a conflict can exist at a perceptions level. 1/?

Day 2 of FanX! Come say hi if you're in Salt Lake City this weekend: booth AA 244

I'll be at FanX in Salt Lake City this weekend! Come say hi if you're there; I'll be at booth AA 244. I'll have a bunch of this unimpressed astral Albatross at the Docks of Bral keeping me company.

"The Beyond", background art I painted for Slay the Spire, 2016. One of my favorite areas of the game to visually design!

Cover art for "Company of Ghosts" from J. Kyle Turner. The book just released, you can check it out here: www.amazon.com/Company-Ghos...

Finally got a bit of time to work on painting a personal piece! Early stages still.

And I'm finished with my rendition of 'The Defect'! The Littlest Art Director (my son) took an interest in this piece, insisting I add the eyes peering out of the shadows as well as "more shading, Baba, do more shading". #slaythespire

🎨 Return to the Hidden Summit “Beyond the mist where memories wait Like silent dreams and comforted rest Where clouds drape coolly upon the stone In the mountains deep, and wild forest” #watercolor #gouache #traditionalart #painting #art #dragons

"Trail of the Dream Titans", illustration for Numenera, 2017. Really quite a milestone piece. It showed what was possible with clients that trusted me to create something interesting from scratch, no brief or prompt of any kind.

And that's all for DragonCon! Had a great time and made the requisite moneys. Until next year: same dragon place, same dragon time!

DragonCon begins today! Come find me at booth 20 in the art show (in the Hyatt) if you're there. I'm debutting some new pieces like my Stormlight Archives pieces.

Auctioning an acrylic painted artist proof to benefit the Trevor Project and Trans Lifeline. A little nod to my love for Baldur's Gate 1! The opening bid is a steal vs my usual rate for original commissioned AP painting. app.auctria.com/Redirect/bd2...

A private commission that's coming along! Just getting through the first pass on this 20x24 acrylics piece revisiting good old Slay the Spire.

It seems WorldCon has been going well for me! Aside from the sale, it's lovely to have one of my best pieces recognized with a second place ribbon for Fantasy! Considering the masterful other artists hanging in the show, that's an incredible honor.

Something very cool created by a friend. I got an early look at his world-building last year, and it's incredible!

Some artist proof paintings that came out rather well! They can be commissioned here: www.brucebrenneise.com/aps

All set up for WorldCon! I'm right next to Galen Dara and John Picacio, across from Donato. No pressure, right? 😅 Thankfully it's a 'hang it and walk away' sort of show. I've got deadlines I've already overshot, so very busy.

@eeliskyttanen.bsky.social sketched me when we were hanging out at Gen Con! Love that!

I'm taking a redeye flight to Indianapolis for Gen Con later tonight. Looking forward to seeing a lot of friends, peers, collectors, fans, and new faces this weekend! Come say hi if you'll be there. I'll have prints, playmats, and Edge of Eternities APs just arrived!

"Shadesmar", illustration for @brotherwisegames.bsky.social Cosmere RPG. This one has waited a long time to see the light of day. It was nerve-wracking to have to follow in the footsteps of my art hero, Michael Whelan. I'm quite happy with the obsidian cliffs in particular!

Another piece I finally get to reveal! Behold, "Roshar", for the Cosmere RPG for @brotherwisegames.bsky.social based on Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series. Yet another thing I have to pinch myself to believe I got to paint for! 😃

Some recent artist proof paintings!

"Glacier Godmaw", MTG: EOE 12x16", acrylic on aluminum board AD Vic Ochoa I enjoy snarling when I'm painting monsters attempting to eat spaceships, etc. I'm proud of this one; it's probably my most complete traditional finish yet. Phil Li and I will be listening to offers on it.

Because the onslaught of art finally revealed for MTG: Edge of Eternities just doesn't stop, here's my final piece for that set, now titled "Glacier Godmaw", or as I like to call it, "6/6 NOPE!" Sometimes the fun starts before you even have a chance to land on the planet. AD: Victor Ochoa

I grieve a friend, Roberta Vaughan, who passed on today. She commissioned this piece from me: 'Colossal Cave'. When I look at it now, I think about how perhaps her spirit continues to adventure on, somewhere in eternity. Either way, this little bit of beauty simply wouldn't exist without her. 💔

Newly revealed cover illustration I did for J. Kyle Turner on his debut novel, "Company of Ghosts". I had a lot of fun with a Brangwyn-like quality that emerged in this one.

Ooh, here's the big reveal: "Ancient Tomb" illustration painted in acrylics for an upcoming card in MTG: Edge of Eternities! A godlike creature encased in the heart of a cored-out moon. Shhhhhh, don't wake the Sleeper! AD: Sarah Wassell

New piece of mine just revealed for MTG: Edge of Eternities! 'Thespian's Stage': a literal space opera for a Space Opera setting! I call this opera "Dance of the WUBRG". #MTG #MTGEOE

Some relatively recent pieces to share for #portfolioday! I'm Bruce, a landscape artist best known for my work on MTG, D&D, Slay the Spire, and Numenera. Here are some recently-released pieces from MTG! More of my work: www.brucebrenneise.com

Hi #portfolioday! I do books covers and comic covers!

This was so cool: a family of slay the spire cospayers! So cute! A thrill seeing characters I painted brought to life like this.

Denver Fan Expo begins in a few minutes! You can find me on the edge of artist alley at AP19.
