Microsoft laying off 10,000 people while investing 10 billion dollars in Open AI is a major road sign for where weβre headed.
Legislators need to start preparing for our economy to be based on UBI now. Not later.
I donβt think I ever shared the original concept art I made for the
@CriticalRole
Ukβotoa Mini that
@wizkidsgames
created for the Mighty Nein reunion. Hereβs my interpretation of Mattβs beautiful boy!

Playing around with the layout for all of the M9. This is the first time Iβve gotten to assemble them all!
The order may change a bit, but this is basically what the Gen Con exclusive Limited Edition print will look like.

I just read a thing about how posting early in the day or on weekends is not great for visibly, but I just fi finished these two up this morning and I donβt want to wait to share, so...
Caleb and Frumpkin are done! 4 of Nein down.

Iβve had a lot of folks asking about this, so here we go! Iβve added the online-only versions of these to my website for folks that canβt make it to SDCC this year. They are also limited edition.
Store link in my reply.

If you want to use my art for your DnD home game, feel free!
But, if youβre going to me streaming it, uploading videos of it, or monetizing your game, youβll need to message me so we can work out a fair rate first.
Thereβs a fun Easter Egg on this page from the Mighty Nein comic I did for Dark Horseβs FCBD 2021 offering.
So far, no one has pointed it out to me.
Make a perception check to see if you spot it.

Well, I managed to finish one Bellβs Hells in time for Gen Con, lol. I *might* have time to get in another one by Tuesday, but weβll see.
Anyway, hereβs Laudna and Pate, all finished up!

I feel so gross after this weekend.
Is it too soon to do
#VisibleWomen
again? If youβre a female artist making SF/F art, please post your work here. Iβll gladly retweet it.
I know itβs not much, but itβs something.
Okay, you guys! I did the thing!
Here's a free Party of Nein coloring book for you to print out and color! If this brings even a few of you some temporary relief from what we're all going through, I will be thrilled!

Last month I had the mind blowing experience of being asked by Critical Role if I wanted to design some βminiaturesβ for their London live show!
What an absolute honor!
Hereβs the concept art for yβall! Plus bonus pics. :)

Spent a little more time on my interpretation on Vokodo this morning. Turns out rendering coloring lava is super fun. Not sure Iβll go back in to do the water, treasure, and red crystals.

@matthewmercer
Awww! Thanks, Matt! I had a great time collaborating with you on them!
For those of you interested in seeing the concept art, here it is! One pile of Mercer Madness!
Prolly not how I should have spent my time today, but once I got started, I couldnβt stop. Anyway, if you guys like this, lemme know and Iβll spend some more time on the painted bits. Now I just need to convince WotC to let me do some cards in this style!

I am absolutely thrilled to announce I have painted my first Planeswalker for Magic! If you have told me 5 years ago that I would get to do a 24x36 oil painting of Garruk someday, I would said that youβre dreaming.

Anyone else want to see ShakΓ€ste and the Grand Dutchess make another appearance on the show? I'd love to see how badass they would be at level 14!

Started sketching in the BG yesterday. Just trying to capture the vibe of the overall campaign. I donβt want to get too detailed with it because we want to keep the focus on the characters.

FB Reminded me that 2 years ago I took a stab at a Grog character design intended for a 2-D animation portfolio.
And yes, I AM planning to do a Vox Machina art series at some point. Just need my schedule to cooperate.

Since weβre at the Mighty Nein Campaign finale, I thought Iβd join folks sharing their art inspired by this wonderful group and the critter community. When I started following along a couple of years ago, I could never have guessed where this fandom would lead me!
#CriticalRole
I really miss D&D including artist credit next to the art. It's unarguably one of the things that grew my love of the art and the artists. I would encourage all TTRPG publishers to return to this practice.

This entire clip was produced by AI from the βactorsβ to the voices and the visuals.
This is the βone personβ AI newsroom in a prompt.
In a year you will have this on your computer with no need of an internet connection.
Buckle upβ¦
I know not everyone is crazy about the profile cards, but can I just say that as an MtG artist, itβs a rare treat to get to do a close up of a face.
Iβm grateful for the opportunity.

Thatβs infuriating! Please tell your daughter that I used to get in trouble for drawing in class and now I draw monsters and characters for a living. Stick with it kiddo!
Alrighty, here's the officially licensed Sal the Cacophony print I'll have with me at C2E2 in Chicago this weekend! Based on the awesome Seven Blades in Black novel by

My only Throne of Eldraine card dropped last night! Quite an honor to paint this iconic couple! Hereβs the full art.
Thanks to my Art Director,

I'm so excited that I had the chance to paint Grenzo, Havoc Raiser for Commander Masters!
The original will be going on the market soon!

Quick update on this. Finished up Jester, Fjord, and Essek by adding some local color renders, some detail shadows and some glowy bits and reflections. Also gave Essek a dodecahedron spell effect.
Should be done with this soon!

D&D Twitter bummed me out yesterday. Letβs go for a happier vibe today. Lemme see pics of your characters!
Hereβs my last one I have a picture of. Calaban is a total himbo swashbuckler. I only got to play one session with him, but he was hella fun!

For whoever needs to hear this: It's okay to NOT do monthly art challenges if you don't want to.
I think I did 3 days of one once and said, "fuck this." No one took away my art card.
Okay, yβall! Iβve finally watched all 3 campaigns of Critical Role, and Iβm going to be working some long hours for the next couple of months and Iβm looking for some more live play shows to keep me company while I toil.
Dimension 20 has been recommended often, but what else?
I sold out of these Limited Edition prints at Gen Con, but I have a handful of Artist Proofs still available. So, Iβm going to do a Twitter giveaway for one of them.
RT this and follow me to enter. Winner will be chosen Friday at Noon Central.

Getting caught up on last weekβs Critical Role. Some people thought I drew this Caleb from 2 years ago a little too badass. I was just ahead of the curve.
