Illustration painted for the book "The Ashen Viper" We see two men engaged in battle on a desolate field, scrawny trees around them and a city in the far distance. They are dressed for combat, one wielding a longsword made of light in a defensive position, the other about to strike with twin blades made of shadow.
We’re in a pleasant forest setting, with lots of greenery and the sun peeking through the canopy. We see tree houses made of natural materials on the trees. A young, dark skinned elf is running madly towards the camera, laughing. He’s holding a chicken under one arm and a rope strung with strange berries in the other hand. A whole flock of chickens is following him, apparently crazy about the berries. The chaotic scene is being watched by two shocked bystanders.
We’re in a futuristic luxurious apartment, with a glowy tree in the middle. A young agent wearing a combat armor is crouching behind a terrarium, ready for action.
A dark skinned elven scout runs towards the camera. She’s just jumped out of an alcove in a city wall and she’s making her exit through the forest, startling all the wildlife around her.

An illustration painted for J.D.L Rosell’s “Legend of Tal: An Emperor's Gamble | The Deluxe Edition”. On the backdrop of a nighttime snowy forest we see two men in front of a campfire. Tal, the younger one, sits on a wooden stool with a hand covering his tear strewn face, while Kaleras rests a comforting hand on his shoulder.
Evithorir, painted for Critical Role by Zoe Badini. Evithorir is described as an elven figure perpetually shrouded in shadows. Its face is pale gray, its skin is pulled tight against bone. Its teeth are crooked and elongated and its eyes glow. In this scene it stands in front of a large glowing green crystal pillar, surrounded by black and greenish flames. Its body flows and disappears into the shadows. Its hands are lifted at its sides, casting more dark shadows. Hidden and trapped inside its chest we can glimpse a reddish emaciated figure.
A small rocky pond with a tiny waterfall feeding it, in the forest. There are both green and brown leaves all around it, as the season is changing to autumn.

It's night on the sea, everything is enveloped in a sinister blue/green mist. Countless shipwrecks apparently from different eras litter the water. There are ghosts on several of them; they are made of that same blue/green mist. We see a bizarre lighthouse in the middle of the ship graveyard, which seems composed of pieces from several different lighthouses, glitching into each other. The mist fills the lighthouse as well and cascades out of its windows. Two persons on a small boat are approaching the lighthouse. One of the persons on the boat is holding a compass which is giving off the same glitch effect as the lighthouse.

There's a figure standing upright, with its face covered by a thin, dark fabric dissolving into a swarm of insects. The figure wears a hat with a golden replica of one insect and holds a golden ceremonial knife it's using to slice its palm open, releasing yet more of these insects. The bugs are black and golden, winged and have large open jaws.
Sunset scene with a painter fully engrossed in his work. He's covered in paint smudges, and he's absentmindedly feeding a de-winged horsefly to his harshest critic: a toad.

We’re in a dense, green forest, with an old, mossy stone arch in the background. An orc druid in the middle of the scene is busy casting dual spells; she holds an orb of water in one hand and an orb of fire in the other, ready to unleash both in combat. Flowering vines are growing around her feet and ankles.

A ladybug clad in an armor made of leaves and flower petals stands on a large white flower. They’re wielding magic wands, a spellbook and a shield made out of a seed husk. White war paint adorns their face and shield. They are casting fire spells against a horde of wasps.
A depiction of the tarot card six of swords. We see a stylized image of a woman rowing on a small boat. There’s a white cat cradled in her lap. The sea behind her is rough, but gets progressively calmer in the direction she’s going. Six smoky hands wielding swords are pursuing her. The style of the painting mimics a stained glass artwork.

A dark skinned woman stands in front of a broken blue stained glass window. She’s crying but has a somewhat serene expression. The woman’s skin is crisscrossed by cracks repaired with gold. She’s surrounded by wilted flowers. In her hands are two lively swallows made of light. The light coming from the birds swirls around the image, giving life to the previously wilted flowers. On the back side of the book cover we see two more birds dancing around a broken vase, they too are reviving flowers with their light.
