Mixing my media. It's 33 degrees Celcius, can't do much else but mucking about in a sketchbook (and rediscovering old tools). Done in pen, watercolour and markers. With some light coloured pencil shading. Medieval manuscript used for ref.

Do you need a steady supply of illustration, concept art, branding, or graphic design? I have 20 years of experience and am now available for part-time remote work! If you think I'd be a good fit for your organization, DM me or email at: [email protected]

It took me forever but I updated my Patreon again. More CC-BY art for almost free!

Here's some sketchbook doodles from my holidays in Greece. Pencils, watercolours and trying new pastel pencils.

I've been quite silent due to holidays, jobs and real life madness and such... So here's some art

Whilst I was away, the inevitable happened: a module featuring some of my Patreon art got reviewed on #between2cairns. It was fun hearing the guys trying to pronounce my last name... @yochaigal.bsky.social It's simply a multitude of Humphrey Bogart(s) (And it's why I stick to Bertdrawsstuff)

Pine Shallows is live on Kickstarter Small town, big adventures - Strange things keep happening in town. It's up to you meddlesome kids to get to the bottom of things. A meddlesome kids ttrpg. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

Finished this!

I wonder if people are also interested in more doodle style art (also as CC-BY assets), because these are far less time consuming and easier to do then my digital art

More sketchbook RPG doodles

Some pages of random blobs to doodles

Work in progress... my time is currently limited due to the home reno and the new job. So, no new art for the Patreon this month. In the meantime here's one for March.

Some doodles from my sketchbook. (Our attic is being remodeled, so I am currently out of a digital workplace)

join a ttrpg jam where you doodle something itch.io/jam/dungeons...

Last illustrations of 2025 for the CC library.

I did some work on my short comic. Full here: www.patreon.com/posts/comic-...

My two kids are often fascinated with my Wacom when they see me work. So, off course, they demand that I draw them something too. So, with about 2 minutes each and the roughest crayon brushes in Clipstudio, I present you....

Such inspiring art to see and artists to follow! #portfolioday

Last time I did a #portfolioday post was in 2024. I guess I can endure the excruciating pain of making a new one. guypradel.fr

Hello! I am Bert, an Illustrator from the Netherlands. I like and mostly do fanatsy art for TTRPGs. But I am open to try new things! #PortfolioDay #artsky

Time to go! (first Patreon update of the year)

May this year be better than the last! For me, a big change is coming as I quit my early morning job and switch to a proper day job at our local comic book store! 📚 So a bit less time for art, but more time for a proper sleeping schedule 😅

New Patreon update!

We can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔 But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️ If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!

Combining several old doodles into one piece. Trying out new brushes.

quote with your beefy ladies I did a cover once featuring a bragging beefy lady

Alright, as prep for a slightly larger comic I am working out, I am going to redraw this little, magical chase story I doodled a few summer back. Time to experiment and learn!

Yes, I've started posting on my Instagram account again. Simply because Bluesky is more and more shitting the bed. Now, I don't know if it is because they are buckling under the sudden growth of the platform, having issues finding suitable moderators or if all this is intentional.

The fuck when bluesky suspends gorangligovic.bsky.social for sharing Palestinian fundraisers. Please go show Goran some love www.patreon.com/gorangligovic

Can only assume that this is because Goran, kind Goran, shares accounts of Palestinian folks in dire need of help and financial support. So incredibly shameful on behalf of the Bluesky moderators. I hope they change their hearts before their callousness and cruelty destroys all that they love.

New logo, who dis? I thought it was time to finally update the logo I use for my freelance work. The old one was from waaaay back in my animation days. This new one better reflects what I mostly do now.

New art available on my Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/novemb... I was having some fun with this one.

What you'll find on my current "shelf of inspiration" closest to my desk.

Listening to @josephrlewis.bsky.social series on Adventure Design while working on my #DURF jam entry. Hopefully something sticks.

Ohw, rest in peace Drew Struzan. The man who painted my childhood

A quick doodle armor monster thing

So, who's going to create a EU based, EU privacy-laws abiding version of Twitter/Bluesky? Since this one is making more and more questionable choices to appeal to (probably American, thus authoritarian) investors and will suffer more and more from US surveillance. Now seems like a good time to do it

The timing of the release of the new Spaceking episode and that doofus' speech was just too perfect not to do this. Sorry not sorry.

And suddenly October has arrived. I'm not gonna do a "...-tober challenge" this month. I prefer to finish the updated art for the Pineshallow Hollows release.

It gets even better!

Speaking of people doing cool stuff with my art: shoutout to @axiomdelver.bsky.social for doing some cool collages with my art assets in axiom-delver.itch.io/finders-keep... !!!

Haha! This is awesome :)

New (or continued) experiment: be more consistent with Patreon/CC-art asset updates.

Backed it! (with the sketchcard add-on off course)

Work time at the coffeeplace around the corner

Holiday season is over! Time to get back into things!

Merdre! Mushmen, stop giving me so much creative inspiration! This looks too awesome and now I feel compelled to make stuff

I saw that "10 games to know me"-meme come by again, which made me think of the games I got from the library that I loved as a kid. Fallout, Myst, StarCraft, Brood War, Outlaws, Full Throttle, Jedi Knight, Mechwarrior, Tiberium Sun.

First Knife was already great! Dare I say, this looks even better

I confess, I now regret making this animation. Because all I can think about now is making some more. And connecting them with a narrative. And I ain't got time for this. While also knowing I'm going to yet again be utterly self destructive by finding a way to do it. Dammit.
