• I receive a lot of questions about my process, I usually start with a pencil sketch or a digital sketch, then I scan it in and color it in @photoshop on my @wacom 27 HD Touch Cintiq. I use a mixture of Kyle's brushes and Greg Rutkowski's brushes. A full image with background and all usually takes me 2-3 weeks or 20+ hours. I am always working on multiple illustrations and projects that I go back and forth between. Here is a final and sketch of one of my @MontagueMouse piece.

  • 🍁🍂The Little Mermaid's Halloween - All she wanted was to be a human! I'm so in the mood for Autumn lately, it's my favorite time of the year. I'm trying to come up with ideas for a fun Halloween illustration, as I usually do a new one every year but I'm not sure what to do this year. Do you have any suggestions? ⭐ • • • #halloween2019 #halloweendecor #halloweenart #everydayishalloween #halloweeniseveryday #halloween365 #halloweeneveryday #hauntlife #halloweenlife #scaryart #halloweenartist #halloweenartshow #pumpkinseason #pumpkindecor #pumpkinspiceeverything #mermaidart #mermaid

  • Little preview of #greenwitchtarot, a #tarotdeck I illustrated in 2014 for Llewellyn and #AnnMoura.

  • Short Studio Tour! Swipe to see more incl. adorable cats Moxxi & Little Kitty 🐱 • • I've had a hard time getting back into the swing of things after Gen Con. I have been feeling worn out and maybe a little burned out. • • - but today I am back in the studio and excited to dig into my #MontagueMouse project and finish the pitch for it. • • I have coffee, inspiration, pumpkin spice sceneted candles and a longing for Autumn! I just hope the motivation holds up! 🍂 • • • I have enjoyed reading Seneca's letters from a Stoic, it amazes me how the lives of romans thousands of years ago are so similar to ours today in the challenges they faced in their society. The last letter I read he was complaining about too early Christmas celebrations (this was before Christmas) - sounds familiar, doesn't it? 😂 • • What are some ways you like to rest and recover when you're worn out? • • • #meettheartist #insidetheartstudio #artistsupport #artoninsta #austinartist #artaccount #atxartist #atxart #insidethestudio #mycreativelife #kiri #happycreativelife #herestothecreatives #creativebiz #theimperfectboss #cats🐱 #cats_of_the_world #artistsandtheircats #seneca

  • One of my most popular prints at #gencon! (Swipe for close-ups) I'll be adding limited editions to my online shop in the coming week! ☺️ ------ The Drunken Whale was famous. Not for its drinks or fare which both left much to be desired, but for the coin which flowed plentifully below. Especially in recent days. Ships from the Isle of Maelström had docked in the city of Agos during the Autumn and since then, hefty sums of coin had exchanged hands among the blood, sweat, and tears in the underbelly of The Whale. Fortunes were made and tonight - Tonight, promised to be a spectacular with no equal. Tonight, the very source of this good fortune had been challenged by the firstborn of House Bowwind, one of the strongest houses in the city. Rumors were abuzz, and the betting had already begun when the two arrived. • • It was pouring down outside but the Inn was alight with commotion and song. It was a full house. The two squeezed through the door. Flint, a dwarven bard, was immediately swept away by the good mood; he was cheerful by nature and he loved nothing more than a crowd ready for entertainment. His companion though, a fierce and angry looking man, wasn’t taken by the high spirits. His name was Gren Llast. He was a hired sword, and he was here on business. ------ This piece is for #lockethelegend ^_^ If you aren't familiar it's a D&D inspired story project I'm working on. • • #characterillustration #dndart #dndcharacter #fantasyartists #dungeonsanddragonsart #dungeonsanddragonscharacter #dungeonsanddragons5e #dnd5e #ttrpg #d20 #dungeonsanddragons #tabletoprpg #criticalhit #rpglife #fantasycharacter #dndoc #dndcharacterart #kiri #tavern #storytellingart #visualstorytelling #digitalstorytelling �#fantasyartist

  • Is this the same artist? Yes! It is the same artist. 😀 This was one of the most frequent questions I was asked at Gen Con and I get it! ❤️ One is sweet and whimsical, and the other is dark and rough. These are my two sides, my two passion projects, the two great loves of my life: #MontagueMouse and #LockeTheLegend. • • While the visuals of these stories differ, they are both stories of beings who endure, who fight, and go to great length to protect and keep safe what they love. They're stories of great love (maybe not fully in your traditional sense), of the strength of friendship, of harsh worlds, of hope and of belonging. • • I realize they won't both speak to all of my audience, and that's okay - we don't connect with everything, but we're also not singular as human beings, we have so many sides to our personalities. • • These are my stories, I love them dearly, and once they are finished and ready it is my hope that you will too. ❤️ From my soul to yours. • • • #fantasyartist #atxart #atxartist #magicalart #austinite #austinartists #danishartist #kiri #fantasyillustration #fantasypainting #fantasyartwork #fantasyworld #ilovefantasyart #darkfantasyart #mysticart #artfantasy #dnd5e #artoninsta #digitalstorytelling #artforthesoul #dailycollector #artcurator #artcollecting #collectart #rpglife #artadvisor

  • In a final effort to save the dying Moorwood from the toads’ insidious bog rot, the Parliament of animal elders elect incredible Marten, the bravest and quickest of all the animals, to escape their woodland home, on a mission to plant Moorwood’s last three surviving acorns – but what happens when the hero fails? After a long winter, a very little and very hungry mouse named Montague comes upon the abandoned acorns in the dead woodland. • • Montague Mouse is an emotional, magical story of dark corners, friendships, perseverance, self-doubt and above all hope. • • #kidillustration #bookillustration #best_of_illustration #children_illustration #visualstorytelling #whimsicalart #childrensbookillustration #childrensbookart #kidslitart #childrensillustrations #picturebookart #childrenillustrator #artistsupport #artoninsta #smallartist #montaguemouse #unicorn🦄 #unicornart #mouseart
