I can finally unveil this commission I’ve been working on for awhile now! My client, Malusthe16th, commissioned me to design and illustrate a beloved NPC from their long-running Exalted TTRPG campaign. This is the first of several commissions I have in the TTRPG vein, which is an exciting step forward for me, as I have been doing more Fine Art focused work for the past few years.

Tabletop RPG games and the Fantasy genre were some of my first loves that got me interested in drawing in the first place, so being able to take a step in this direction with my art was invigorating!

My paid members here on PAtreon at all levels have access to a Secret Sketchbook deep dive into the process behind designing and illustrating Ganjo, the Blade Beast. Be sure to check it out for an in-depth discussion on research, design, and planning this intricate character and illustration.

I have more TTRPG-related art in my commission queue, which is exciting! I also haven’t forgotten about my Cassiel’s Servant fan cover, which I hope to finish in time for the Kushiel’s Legacy series’ 25th anniversary in June.

More art to come soon!

Reminder that I’m currently accepting commissions like Ganjo’s! Here’s my quick sheet showing price rates for simpler character portraits and design, while more complex illustrations and cover art will require more complex price quotes.

I’m currently booked till approximately Mid-May and happy to book more clients! Find my full commission details and FAQ here.
