Little character commission I did recently for a Star Wars rpg. Star Wars characters are always fun to draw, it’s a very nostalgic aesthetic!

Jet Johnson game art
Here’s some art I did for a retro sci-fi indie video game called Jet Johnson. Unfortunately, the pandemic seemed to knock it off course and it was never finished.
Simone LeDarq, Half-Vampire Avenger
Half-vampire daughter to Vampire Lord Damon LeDarq, Simone is sworn to destroy her evil father, and free the lands from his bloody reign. Though there are rumors that her true goals may be less than completely noble…
Vampire Lord Damon LeDarq
I was playing an old Castlevania game, and I got it in my head that it would be run to run an RPG scenario inspired by Castlevania. Got to thinking about the characters that would be involved, and came up with this guy, and his dysfunctional family. Don’t know if I’ll ever run that scenario, but I had a great time painting these characters!
Resourceful Half-Orc Fighter From a Secluded Village Who Was Kidnapped By Cultists
Here’s another character from the D&D character concept generator http://www.whothefuckismydndcharacter.com. Finding ways to put the character concept into the art has been a fun challenge with these. Having been captured by cultists, this guy apparently got a hold of some of their weapons and robes, plus some bells and a bit of tree to aid in his escape!
Yet one more in my angels & demons series, figuring out this whole digital painting thing! A more brutish counterpart to the elegant devil from before. This guy came out the best yet, in my opinion. Some things about painting really started to click into place. Those chains were a lot of fun to do — I have a little trick for drawing chains that works with inking, so I wanted to see how it would work with a painted style — pretty well, it turns out! Still got a few more of these guys in the hopper.
Grouchy Gnome Bard From The Local Tavern Who Hates The Monarchy
I decided to paint some characters suggested by the delightful D&D character idea generator, https://whothefuckismydndcharacter.com/. Here we’ve got a Grouchy Gnome Bard From The Local Tavern Who Hates The Monarchy. She’s a bit of a one-gnome-band. She came out looking a bit more sly than grouchy, but if you check out the lute, she clearly hates the monarchy! Going forward, I think it’s going to be interesting trying to show all of the suggested elements in the image.
Sword Demon Lavinia
Continuing this series of angels & demons, as I figure out my digital painting style. I don’t know much about this one, but her name’s Lavinia and she’s got a pretty cool sword. Somehow the demons are always more fun than the angels…
Brawler Angel
Brawler angel! Been having a lot of fun doing these angels and demons, as I figure out my digital painting style. This guy’s seen better days, but nobody said fighting the forces of darkness was supposed to be easy!
Dapper Devil
I’ve been real quiet for a while, but I’ve been learning digital painting. Years ago I drew a series of angels and demons in an inking style I was exploring at the time, and I had a lot of fun with it, so I thought I’d return to that. Here’s the first!
Slender Marv
Here’s a D&D commission for a weird-west themed campaign!
“I Am Catalina” book cover by Hannah Toro.
Another book cover for Hanna Toro!
“Dear Maria” Book Cover
Here’s a book cover I designed for Hannah Toro’s book “Dear Maria”, featuring her character, Audrey. 
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu character designs
Here are some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu characters I was fortunate to have the opportunity to design for Heroes Martial Arts in San Jose, CA! My own experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gave me a leg up here.
D&D party gets revenge on Dungeon Master!
This was a fun twist on the typical D&D party commission — their dungeon master is at their mercy, about to pay for all the misery he’s inflicted on the party!
Video Game Tavern Commission
Here’s a piece I did a while back for a whiskey & video games blog — a bunch of game characters sharing a drink in a tavern. 
The Fellowship of the Snake
A fun D&D party commission I drew recently! This one was set up kinda like a comic book cover, title and all. A lot of fun characters here, but I think my favorite is the snake riding the Mage Hand!
Sci-fi Comic Cover Commission
Here’s a commission I did last year for a nice couple’s anniversary, featuring the two of them on the cover of a retro science fiction comic!
D&D Bard & Warlock
Here’s a D&D commission from a couple years back that I never posted. Half-elf Bard & Warlock, if I remember! 
D&D Gangsters
Here’s a fun D&D party commission I did recently, with a sort of Russian gangster vibe. The client had the idea to do a blue color scheme with pops of red, and I think it came out great!
