From an iPad "napkin" sketch to final! I sometimes jot down emotions in this crude fashion if I'm on the go and don't have the time to think about the poses. After this I always think of body language first before facial expressions. For more proces imgs you can chck my Patrn!
My new year's commitment this year was that I'd get the ball rolling with my book project, and I did! I wonder if you are able to decipher some of its themes based on these paintings? "Five Seasons of Celebration" has a long way to go (years!), but I'm excited to keep going!

Here's a new painting for "Five Seasons of Celebration", set in Spring. What's going on here?
Hey #portfolioday ! Here’s some new MTG stuff alongside old stuff!

This painting was challenging for the sheer amount of stuff that had to be included. Dancing, revelry, stalls, witchy folksy clothing attires, insane background structure...this one had to have it all! #MTGMidnight

Hey, #PortfolioDay! I am an illustrator from Finland working with clients such as Magic: The Gathering and animated shows like Netflix' The Dragon Prince. I'm also working on my own project on Patreon called "Five Seasons of Celebration" based on Finnish and Finno-Ugric themes!
The biggest challenge was balancing the comp in the left corner. All 3 characters there are pretty contained in their silhouettes and the dwarf is turned away from the focus. My solution was to add the character into the corner to push the view back towards the bard. 6/6
