After a terrible year work wise, I’ve secured myself a sizeable book design project that’ll keep me going for a good while. It‘s another Japanese art/culture themed title, with TWO big volumes as part of a boxed set! With all the pretty trimmings like French fold jacket, foil, ribbon, bands, etc. 🤩

Sketched up a dragon that I absolutely want to develop into another portrait painting. #dragons #fantasyart #sketchbook #wip

This dragon’s giving the wee mouse-like archer a serious side eye. What could the diminutive warrior be offering, I wonder? Right and wrong answers welcome. 😜 I’m going with some sort of offering of treasure or an exchange for a hoard trinket. #sketchbook #wip #dragons #fantasyart

Hah, almost 50 here, still find that mind blowing. As someone forced to parent myself and be an adult way before I was ready, this hits in an odd way. Such a confusing state to be in: way too mature, not grown enough. And THEN the sadness over lost years sets in. 😂

Artists: don’t be afraid of making messy art. This guy is a rough doodle but I LOVE him. He FEELS like what I have in mind. The looseness of working this way helps me focus on the “idea” rather than perfection. It’s a “vibes” stage that has incredible value. Don’t fear the starts and in-betweens!

@gitanaroja.bsky.social Here’s the finish you asked about! I trimmed the edges down, did a running stitch to gather it all, lined the inside with white felt (to hide the mess from the front), then blanket stitched felt to the back. I MAY have worked in a Qsnap frame, but can’t recall. #crossstitch

If you’re looking for some fun and evocative art & maps for your game, play your cards right! I’m available for commissions all year round! #fantasymaps #ttrpg #cartography #handcrafted #commissions #noai #dnd #pathfinder #shadowdark #daggerheart #dragonbane

Another oldie but goodie. This was for a client project, a limited edition craft beer label design that was ultimately silkscreened in light grey on black powder coated glass bottles. I had never drawn skeletons and I got immediately hooked on all the fun details! #artsky #spookyseason

I’ve never really considered myself much of a cartoonist, but I think I’m getting the hang of it! Fall is such a delightful time of year, and this little dude couldn’t agree more. #dragons #characterdesign #sketchbook

Happy…whatever day it is today! Tuesday? Seriously, they all blur into each other these days. I’ve been having fun toying with some toony styled dragons and critters. Pardon my rough mess with Procreate, I’m still adjusting to the slipperiness of my Apple Pencil and iPad. #dragons #characterdesign

Book Cover Artists! QRP with your book covers 📕 These are all digitally painted and/or photo composited art pieces plus full layout designs I’ve done for a couple of fantasy authors’ ebooks. Would LOVE to do more, but no clients lately, sadly…😔

Oh yeah, it’s the first day of autumn! So happy! I was done with summer months ago. And it means spoopy season is just around the corner. So here, have a dragon skull being investigated by a brave little mouse! #dragon #fantasyart #sketch #sketchbook #spookyseason

It's got enough room for me & the whole squad ⚔️

Concept sketch versus final product. She’s still my most fave piece I’ve ever done. She was born out of yet another doodle session, where I let my brain decide what evolves out of a loose collection of lightly scribbled lines. Like finding pictures in clouds. #fantasyart #dragon #sketchbook

If you haven’t yet read this ongoing comic, I absolutely recommend investing your time into it. Masterful storytelling in both visuals and writing. A must for lovers of Watership Down, Martin the Warrior and other similar classics.

Since @kvalenagle.bsky.social is a person of good taste—here she is! My cartoon-style, toothy gryphon gal that emerged from a lazy collection of scribbles randomly scrawled on the page. She’s a sweet, deeply-empathetic character who may one day make an appearance in a graphic novel I’d love to make.

I honestly love going back through my old sketchbooks, because I clearly had a lot of fun experimenting with shapes, forms and poses etc. I love the dragon in the bottom right. Absolutely want to make something more of him one day. #dragons #fantasyart #sketchbook

Suffice to say, I now know more about Canada’s importation rules and procedures than I ever cared to. Next time I’ll be prepared, but man…what an expensive lesson.

Dear UPS Canada: a $100+ brokerage fee for a $66 supply order from the UK, on otherwise duty- and tariff-free goods? You’re out of your knobbly gourd. If I’d known how to self-clear through customs, I’d have paid $6.10 to cover gov’t taxes on import. That’s ALL. Cue impotent fiery rage in 3…2…1…

Thanks so much for 400 follows, folks! Wow that last hundred went FAST. Time for some pay-it-forward profile shares again, but first, a blast from my sketchbook’s past. Have always loved this dragon’s poise. I should do an updated painting of him! #dragons #fantasyart #traditionalart

Wow that wasn’t the disaster I feared it’d be! I still talk too fast, my mic setup is shite, and my audio levels need adjusting, but visually it was true to my screen output (very few dropped frames). Proud of myself for just going for it on a whim too! That alone is a big deal for me right now. ❤️

Ok folks, it’s time… for my first live stream in years!! Need a body double or chatty person to work alongside for the next hour or so? Join me at twitch.tv/windloftworkshop for some inking in CSP!

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

we made a thing for you it's the @fantasymagazine.bsky.social back issues--those that we have online, anyway. acquiring an older property like Fantasy reveals... quirks. starts with issue 48... 🤷🤷🏼‍♀️🤷‍♂️ we're working on 1 - getting the older issues online, and 2 - making all the URLs prettier njoy

Wow. Scientific researchers and students take note: this includes research papers as well, so be sure to check for any publications you’ve got in your name to see if you’re owed compensation. Checked for mine (published early 2000s) but it wasn’t there thankfully.

It’s cozy season soon! And you know that means peak crafting time is upon us. 😍 I’ve got a digital pattern on offer to make your own Mushroom Fairy House ornament for yourself or a friend (or both!). Available here: https://windloftworkshop.com/b/fairyhousefeltornament #crafting #patterns

Good lord they actually work! My basic-ass Cricut continues to (pleasantly) surprise me. Some tweaks needed to ensure a complete cut—and less hair-pulling—but these sparkly paper inlay bookmarks are a “go” for production in my book! #greenman #bookmarks #design #artshop
