Redraw of my 'Werewolf' Athral from 3 years ago - but as a Were-Behemoth instead. The Behemoth skull is a mix of lion, wolf and I-made-it-the-fuck-up. Also I completely redrew this from scratch. As always, I am fashionably late to any holiday/seasonal theme 😅 #FFXIV #myArt

DRAGON FIRE (1989) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 32” x 20” After I submitted my concept sketch for the cover of SUNRUNNER’S FIRE by Melanie Rawn, I realized that the anatomy of the dragon’s wings was inconsistent with the structure on the other covers I had done for the series. 1/3
