This is a collection of my digital art that I do on Adobe Photoshop CC. While most of these are full digital paintings, some of these are mere digital sketches, used to practice brushes or a bizarre idea.
You can see the step-by-step process for one of my paintings here.
Inspired by my friends' sons...Luca, as Bowl Hat Boy.
Lent and Jaisom are best friends.
General Warlic is a direwolf with a long history of winning impossible battles for the Black King.
Storm clouds pull back to allow sunlight to pool.
Jaisom is one of the Black King's court musicians. He has never let his severe visual impairment prevent him from making the most out of life.
Golgi may be an amazing chef, but his true passion is wine.
Burdell has been the Black King's secretary for nearly ten years by successfully terrifying anyone who dares turn in a single error in their reports.
Sanson is Ireen's nephew, and a quiet, shy child who loves to climb trees.
Western sycamores are a common sight in Themble, easily identifiable by their large stature and white dotted bark.
There are many species of birds found in Themble, including the brown pelican.
Talem is Suebin's husband and a blacksmith by trade.
Morent is a specialist in governmental relations - a lawyer, in other words.
Neto is the third oldest in Ireen's family, and the oldest brother. He is a dreamer who loves theater.

Orin dragons are incredibly common to see on the Themblise coastline, where they lead commercial fishing boats to schools of fish.

Suebin is Ireen's older sister. The mother of two, Suebin is a forceful and opinionated young woman. Her hatred of the Black King only fuels her desire to have her country Pemembras free from the rule of cruel, greedy monarchs.

An Ireen painted for the website banner. I always liked her joy here.

Snake-like and sinewy, the rumptifusel is a creature that is rarely seen on the ground. Making their homes in the branches of the tallest trees, rumptifusels are nocturnal and are rarely seen during the day.
Rumptifusels have long, ferret-like faces. Their bodies are long and flat, perfect for tucking around tree trucks. With six pairs of legs and brutally strong muscles, there are few trees a rumptifusel cannot climb in seconds.

Partridge is Ireen's niece and Suebin's youngest. She's a complete angel, until her toddler tendencies get to her. Then there's no contest on who can scream the loudest!

Sejon is Ireen's father and a fisherman. A fisherman on a commerical fishing crew, Sejon helps bring in a massive variety of sealife. However, out of all of the fish brought in, none is worth more than the great bluefin tunas. These massive fish can easily weigh 800 pounds or more, and are a favorite of dragons!

The Black King's digital portrait that I used for years. This was painted in 2019.
The Black King: conquerer of three monarchies, including Ireen's own. Themblise monarchs wear collar-like necklaces rather than crowns. This is his least fancy necklace that he wears day-to-day. His formal collar is much heavier and thickly decorated with engravings and gemstones.

Marla, my canine drummer. This is another digital painting based off of one of my character biography sketches. Marla's thin coat and wiry body means that she has a hard time keeping warm. Because of this, Marla has a fondness for thickly knitted vests and scarves.
