Highly forbidden ancient magic specialist is a picky eaterā¦
ā¦but she eventually comes around. She is the best girl.
I made two versions because I find quite charming that Marcille has these two exact reactions every time she is forced to eat a random monster. Can you spot all the monsters in this image?
Posted previously exclusively on my Patreon. There you can find the process of the painting.

Speedpainted my take on the characters of tonightās Daggerheart one-shot of Critical Role before the stream startedā¦
Fortunately, I was able to correct them to resemble Shaun's (Shmaba) incredible designs (my canon-obsessed brain wouldnāt have let me rest otherwise). This was a such a fun exercise! Also, the timelapses on the break were very insightful. (Pango not fitting into the frame is a hilarious coincidence š) Happy anniversary, Critical Role!

As things have been really slow for me lately, Iām finally starting a Patreon. Of course my first piece is a Critical Role fanart of the most evil sexiest couple in Tal'Dorei.
But thatās not allā¦
For this launching, I also made a second art piece of my current obsession: #DungeonMeshi and my favorite picky eater girl. And it comes in 2 different versions!
My hope is that this platform becomes a way for me to focus on more personal and fanart pieces. Expect illustrations about whatever I'm currently obsessed with, but also high-res and layered PSD files, a say in what I paint next, tutorials, process videos, nsfw content and more!
If you canāt afford to join, donāt worry: Iāll still be publishing my art through my usual social media (here, Twitter, insta, š¦) but just a little bit later (probably less than 30 days). But if you do decide to support me and my work, Iāll be forever grateful for your support on this new endeavor.

The Druid and the Raven.
Once again a simple figure practice becomes a whole-ass painting.
āHow am I supposed to get over you if you keep sending ravens to me?ā I just want them to be happy š

Planescape is finally out! "Gate-town: Faunel" illustration for Wizards of the Coast's Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse.

This was so much fun to paint! I tried a thing where I avoid using black to convey shadows, focusing on hue and saturation transitions and Iām very happy with the results. Also, capibaras!

Introduction illustration of the First Draught Book Club, the party of adventurers traveling through Exandria searching for new recipes and exciting ingredients, for Critical Role and Penguin Random House's recently released Exquisite Exandria, the official cookbook of Critical Role.
Because it is an in-universe book, I was commissioned to illustrate the writers and chefs as characters based on a brief description of their preferred classes and outfits: Liz Marsham as a human warlock with a spectral cat, Susan Vu as a moon elf fighter, Jesse Szewczyk as a half-elf rogue and Amanda Yee as a human wizard.
This one was a lot of fun! I made sure to include a lot of references and easter eggs for the most observant critters. Thanks again to my sister Mariana for helping with reference photos and Ian Dingman @iadingman for his help and guidance.

Illustration for the interior title page of Critical Role and Penguin Random House's recently released Exquisite Exandria, the official cookbook of Critical Role, by @lizmarsham with recipes by @jesseszewczyk , Susan Vu and Amanda Yee.
This is a special one because it actually is a collaboration with my sister Mariana, who is an amazing architect and helped me design the look of the building itself. I would also like to thank her and Mariana Britto for helping out with the references for some of the characters. Special thanks to Ian Dingman for his help and guidance throughout this project.
This was a fun yet challenging piece to paint, with so many characters I adore and tasty looking dishes. I'm also terminally obsessed with CR and included a bunch of easter eggs for critters to enjoy š

Forgot to share this little Fearne here: The Fawn and the Fairies.
I like to think that Fearne's contempt for fairies began when some of them tried to steal one of the first trinkets Fearne stole herself.
