Eshekign, Alaeran Mermaid: Creature Art for Alaer and Kindred of the Sea

Hello! I just finished this picture of a mercreature from my ocean world, Alaer. It took me most of May, not that I spent most of my time on it, but figuring out how to do the ocean was a real challenge. Alaer boasts two aquatic semi-humanlike creatures.

Portrait of Corostomir: Character Art for Kindred of the Sea

Today I'm featuring a portrait of Corostomir that was sketched in pencil by an artist friend of mine, and which I scanned and digitally colored.

Towers and Terraces of Frèlin (Art for the Legend of the Singer Duology)

Today, I am showing some concept art I made for Frèlin, the capitol city of Elethri. These are some of my initial pieces learning how to do digital art (made with a program that was not really made for art and that I was already pushing to its limits). Nonetheless, I think they turned out …
