Only two weeks to go until my Digital Dragons talk! Really looking forward to this conference and connecting with everyone there. 🙂🐉

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m Kafis and I’m Associate Art Director at Techland and illustrator for Magic: The Gathering and D&D. I’m posting my art here but would love to see your work in the comments as I’ll be searching for artists to hire in the future! All kinds of game art are welcome! ✨

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m back at Digital Dragons this year with a talk that’s very important to me personally. The game industry is going through a period of real challenges, and it’s impossible to ignore how much artists are being affected. There’s no simple fix for this situation, but … 1/2

Today my heart absolutely melted 🥹 I received a package from one of our wonderful Dying Light fans - an incredibly talented artist creating fan arts and fan merch. The letter they included literally made me cry, and I still don’t have the words.

🔥 It’s finally happening! 🔥 We’ve been dying to share this - especially with all the Dying Light fans out there. 
Say hello to Dying Light: The Beast – Art Blast 🧟🎨 A massive drop of concepts, models, level art, lighting, and UI designs created during the production.

Two more hours - until 7:00 PM CET! 🖤😍

Tomorrow night, our incredible Techland Art Team is dropping something epic. 😎✨ Stay tuned! 🔥🔥🔥 As an Art Director, I couldn’t be happier or prouder of them. 🖤

Some concepts I worked on for Dying Light 2: Bloody Ties DLC 🙂🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️ The story takes place in an old opera house that’s been completely repurposed into a brutal fighting arena. A place once meant for beauty and art, now filled with fog, blood, and chaos.

The movie I’m most excited for this year… 🖤🐺

It’s time for a new introduction! I’m Kafis and I art direct teams at Techland. I’m also Magic: the Gathering and D&D artist. Goth 🦇, tea lover 🫖, and proud owner of way too many artbooks 📚 (too scared to count). ✨ www.KafisArt.com

So cool to see people sharing and enjoying the architecture I designed for Dying Light: The Beast! ♥️

This secondhand bookstore is magical. 😍

Quote with your horn art! 🌹🤷‍♀️

That moment when you finish a massive story you love and reach the last page. There’s nothing beyond it. The end… and you’re left unable to stop thinking about this book. Too soon for something new, yet reaching for this book has already become a muscle memory… 😩 Oh, I love reading so much!

A little Innistrad throwback 🦇 Some of my Magic: the Gathering illustrations I don’t post often - and still one of the coolest projects I’ve ever gotten to work on. 🖤

QRP with Sketch(es) vs Final Yes, I as pushing too hard these sketches. 😛

What instantly makes you stop scrolling when you see art? 🤔

They're a lot tougher than they look. This place... It has a kind of power. - Aerith Gainsborough ✨ Gilded Lotus for Final Fantasy x Magic: The Gathering AD: @JameelaWahlgren.bsky.social I was honored to create this illustration. Grateful to be trusted with something so meaningful. ♥️

ARTISTS! It's a grim time so let's support each other! If you are open for private commissions post your work and your rates here! I want to boost you and get you some work! Anyone feel free to share this thread!

One great thing about having some time off after the game's release is that I finally got to do some personal painting. 😉 Repaint of an older work.

As an Art Director, discovering artists here without algorithm chaos is just amazing. I love it here! 🖤 Best #PortfolioDay in ages. Please tell me I’m not the only one seeing this!

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. 🌱🌷 Old work that went viral many times. ^^” Nowadays, I’d adjust things as my skills progressed. But I keep it as a piece of my artistic history and a reminder that a good idea is more important than perfect rendering.

This card came out four years ago, and I still remember how thrilled I was. Not only did they let me paint a Swamp as my second MtG card, but it was for Innistrad! 😩 🖤 I have such great memories from that time. We were wrapping up DL2, it …

Thrilled to share that after five amazing years of painting for Magic: The Gathering, I’ll also be contributing to Dungeon&Dragons!✨This is a truly special moment for me. My nickname, Kafis, is actually the name of my very first D&D character when I was just 12 yo. 🥹
