After a few days away not looking at my drawing for my blue dnd dragon I decided to try something else. I realized I was putting all of my dragons in very similar poses, so for this one I wanted to try something totally different. what do you think of the new sketch?

Happy thanksgiving everyone! To celebrate I thought I would share some of my fall/wintery landscapes that I have done I hope all who celebrate have a wonderful day with friends and family, and eating copious amounts of food.

First time painting in oils in over a year, there were a few days of rust to brush off, but after I few paint sessions I think I am starting to find my groove. The mountains are almost done, next up will be painting the city #LotR #edoras

After taking a step back and mocking up a 3d model of the dragon I am back on track. I began thinking of turning this sketch into my take on the blue dnd dragon. What do you think? here it is in a vertical format

As I added more detail to the dragon, I started to lose my way a bit. So I decided to open up Nomad Sculpt and make a quick 3d model to help me understand the perspective. I think I am back on track the 3d model helped me get the twist of the body back, it now looks like he is in a 3d space again

More work on the color study. I really wanted to have as much information as possible when I go to paint this traditionally, so I spent some extra time really figuring out how to handle the buildings. Now all that is left is transferring the drawing to the painting surface and start painting!

Dont worry guys, I still paint and draw dragons! here is a little quick sketch I did, along with a more cleaned up version. I have some ideas of turning this into a full painting. What do you think?

Something new in the works, another middle earth landscape! This is a digital color study for what will be a traditional piece. So stay tuned for more

All set up and ready to go for Saturday at NYCC Stop by my booth 1962 in the vendor hall and say hi

And here is the finished painting! The Mountain Pass I had a lot of fun working on this one. Prints are available on my online store. Playmats will be coming soon buff.ly/YWd3b1w

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more. A long 🧵

Entering the final stages on this one. Just have to make some final tweaks to the background and foreground.

Here are a couple sketches of my forest elemental dragon for book 2 of Book of Dragons

Who doesnt like some sea dragons? Here is a drawing I am working on for my book of dragons vol 2 sketchbook

This metal has been retired for a couple years, but I had a couple requests for it come in at gencon. Its like seeing an old friend. I always liked this piece, and boy does it look good on metal

I know the consensus was to go with the daylight colors, so I have to disappoint you all in choosing the sunset colors. What sealed the deal for me was wanting to play homage to one of my all time favorite landscape paintings, this Thomas Moran painting. hope you all agree this was a good call

One of the absolute coolest things ever is seeing people walking around wearing your art. I got to experience that this weekend at dragoncon seeing the graphic I made for the dragoncon blood drive Extra special was all the people telling me how much they loved it and it being their favorite design

Here is the current progress on the playmat version of my pride/rainbow dragon. I have been away for a bit and havent gotten a chance to work on it for a few weeks. excited to dive back in to this and get it finished.

Throwback thursday to this yellow air dragon I did back in 2018 Generally yellow isnt the most popular color, but I do have a fondness for this piece. I have been thinking of taking another stab at it some point soon.

This was and is still my largest painting. 40x60 oil. Aegon and Balerion the Black at Herranhal. With most of my booths at shows 10x10 Its hard to fit this piece in my display. But for gencon I have been working on a crazy idea on how to bring this and add this to my display. The Final Hour
