POKEKAMI A painting I made to celebrate 15 years of working in this style! I wanted to break away from the more scroll type paintings for a bit and experiment with something different. Fun fact! Arceus' halo is made with gold leaf from Kanazawa!

In Finnish folklore wolf is mostly feared and loathed. It is a powerful and resperced beast loyal to its pack but also travels its own path. The wolf may give guidance to those who want to stay true to themselves despite what others think. It may also offer aid in choosing who to let in your pack.

The swan was one of the most sacred animals to ancient Finns. It was believed to be able to travel between the realms and carry messages over to the underworld - and return. The swan is also monogamous bird and it can be seen as a totem of loyalty and peace.

The snakes were seen as lowest of the low, creatures of the earth and the evil that was seeped into it. On the flipside they were also believed to be able to repel malice and possess healing capabilities. The snake symbolises primal strength and vitality.

Often seen as the messenger of evil and bringer of ill omens, the raven is closely associated with magic and the spirit realm. It can also act as a guide through various sorrows. The raven is a powerful bird with the capability to carry one's miseries and help find clarity amidst chaos.

Creatures that dwell underwater were believed to be able to travel between the worlds of the living and the dead. The pike was the most magical fish and was important to shamans who wanted to reach the underworld. The pike can grant strength to those who need to navigate through darkness.

As a creature of the night the owl is often associated with the realm of the spirits and magic. Witches may draw power for them to be able to navigate obscured paths and see that which is hidden from most. The owl can symbolize wisdom and insight.

Known as the guardian of the forests, the moose is respected and looked up to for its power. It is a solitary animal that traverses great distances and can be seen as a totem of confidence and inspiration for those who choose to make their own path.

Here's how to support human artists! 🎨

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Here is a French Christmas ad for a supermarket. It has infinitely better look, story, and message. It actually sparks joy in you rather than leaving you depressed, unlike Coca-Cola and McDonald's AI ads.

The lynx is elusive and rarely seen. It's highly perceptive and thus it is often seen as a symbol for insight. Due to its nature it can also be associated with secrets and magic.

Stories often frame the fox as a clever and cunning creature that has impeccable survival skills. Witches and shamans called upon foxes for aid or even took their shape to gain their abilities and agility.

Hair is one of my favorite subjects to paint.

In Finnish Folklore the bear is known as the king of the forests. It's a powerful and respected beast one can draw inspiration from as a strong leader. As bears go into torpor for the winter they can also signify the need to slow down. For this reason the bear is also a symbol of wisdom.

I will be at Kotae Expo this weekend! You can find me in the vendor's hall on both Saturday and Sunday 22.-23.11.! I will be bringing as much stuff as I can carry. I will have a lot of retiring products such as notebooks and throw pillows and also new mystery bags. Come say hi!

Mother of the Cosmos Painted this for a charity project with the goal of raising money for the British hen welfare trust. I joined the project because it's for a good cause and I really wanted to paint a chicken. Will post more about the project later, so stay tuned!

Happy birthday Skyrim!

I got so sick of feeling lethargic all the time. Kaamos (polar darkness) hit me like a train and I couldn't get anything done. I decided to start going on morning runs despite never being a morning person let alone someone who excercises in the mornings.

New Moon 🌕🌑 A piece for my ongoing series “A Starry Place”, where I explore spaces meaningful and nostalgic to me!!

I'll be at Fun Design Christmas market this weekend! It's held at Cable Factory in Helsinki on both Saturday and Sunday. There's a small entrance fee than includes two tokens you can spend at the event in many different ways - such as getting deals from vendors! See you there!

🐓Weird Ancient Birds Art Challenge Draw mythical birds with your imagination! An ancient mythic geographic compilation, Shanhai jing is full of weird birds. Its illustrations were lost long ago. Why don’t we imagine them from the descriptions in the text? Here is the prompt list #30WeirdAncientBirds

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Update to my silly Scarlet Nuzlocke! Some new guys, some evolutions. Yes, I am training everyone. Yes, I can and I will change the appearances as I see fit.

This flying squirrel has soft, mossy fur that helps it blend in on the tree trunks. It spreads spores as it glides from one branch to another. Done for the Dawn of Pangaea board game

This fawn-like creature is covered in ferns and it blends in the forest with ease. Done for the Dawn of Pangaea board game

This axolotl is a bit like the younger form of the original axolotl spirit from Forests of Pangaia. Done for the Dawn of Pangaea board game

The keeper of the rainforests is a gentle giant that the smaller creatures often like to play with. Done for the Dawn of Pangaea board game

I came up with most of the concepts for the creatures in this project, but the concept for this dandelion hummingbird was given to me. I still had a lot of fun illustrating this! Done for The Dawn of Pangaea board game

The walking rock formation is another remnant from the first version of the game, Forests of Pangaea. It's very gentle and kind and cares for the flowers growing in the area. Done for The Dawn of Pangaea board game
