Painting of a dwarven smithing workshop, with dwarves performing various tasks.
Photo of me (the guy posting) surrounded by several of my paintings that were released to the public this year. Full text descriptions for those available on each of their individual posts via my main profile!
Painting of a drow druid wielding natural magics in a forest setting. Her clothing and armor are covered in bark and leaves.
Painting of the 'Smoldering Corpse' tavern in the city of Sigil. A flaming man dances midair over a fiery vent as a wide variety of patrons revel, drink, play games, and chat with one another.
Painting of a woman wearing a simple layered black and gold dress. She is standing amidst roiling smoke, some of which is coming from a masquerade-style mask that she wears and a small glass that she holds in the air. A raven stands on her arm, and images of eyes are hidden throughout the smoke.

Painting of Yumog from the 'Minions, Masters and Tactics' book. A strange fungal creature with a glowing core strides through a spore-filled cave, surrounded by mushrooms and small plant-based creatures.
Painting of a drow cleric of Lolth unsheathing her blade. She wears dark leather armor with sharp angles and red or silver trim, and has a whip hanging from a belt at her side. Dark red energy bursts from her scabbard where the sword is unsheathed.
An elven sorcerer with silver scales on his face channels magical ice in a magma-filled cavern.
Painting: Moonlight spills into the destroyed ceiling of a massive chamber, filled with intricate carvings, ritualistic alters, and piles of gold. Streams of gold coalesce into the figure of a huge, imposing woman clad in golden robes, who holds a decaying gold dragon by the chest as it thrashes and attempts in vain to breath gouts of flame at her.
Painting of a tiefling woman on a white background, wearing a silvery-white gown that's being swept around her by the wind. Cards for fortune-telling encircle her, and she stands with her arms raised in front of constellation-like patterns. She has two large horns that curl from the sides of her head in front of her eyes, covering them. Her long, curly purple hair whips around behind her, and her pinkish-purple skin is patterned with pale patches across her body.
A gnome man is surrounded by three spiralling green ghosts, which seem to be emerging from his clocktower-topped staff. He has glasses and a center-parted undercut, and wears simple finery under a quilted pink cloak tipped with tassels.
A woman clad in green robes and coiling branches stands amidst a liquified dreamscape, gesturing up at a massive draconic shape looming overhead.
A host of warriors crests a ridge on horseback behind a hailstorm of flaming arrows. A massive red moon frames their leader, whose white horse is reared up while she fires a flaming arrow skyward.
An adventuring halfling holds out a tall lantern while hanging from a rope as he rappels down into a circular chamber. The cave-like space below contains staircases, alcoves, and stalactites, with piles of gold pieces surrounding a draconic skeleton that clutches a massive shining ruby.
Painting of a group of 3 adventurers — a human, a tiefling, and a gnome — sit in a smoky tavern, discussing what to do with a batch of vials filled with strange red liquid.
A lilac-skinned half-elf gracefully leaps through the air, wielding a scimitar wrapped in magical blue flames as her white hair and green cloak billow behind her.
3D sculpt and line sketch of a broad, muscled Dragonborn with two curved horns wrapping along the side of his head.
A young woman with glowing eyes casts a magical spell that features star constellations as she scrawls text in a glowing blue spellbook perched on a nearby desk. She is shadowed by a wispy figure whose body is coated in stars, and the library around her warps and twists, illuminated by harsh red light.

Sketch of a young, eclecticly-dressed man with patterned clothes and a fur jacket, standing by a floating spellbook and flanked by two serpent-wolf creatures.
An ecclectically-dressed pirate captain holds or balances a variety of daggers. The sun sets behind her and a massive iguana perches on her shoulder.
A drow druid channels natural magic as wind and leaves blow around her.
