Earlier this month, after finalizing the main print book for The Harbinger’s Path, I was contemplating whether it was possible to put together a “bonus booklet” with some extra material I ran out of space for in the main print volume.

I thought it was a low possibility, because ~1 month before the convention was a little too close scheduling-wise for my taste. However, thanks to fellow artists also tabling at Manga Ichiba later this month, I learned about a new printing company, MCE Printing. Like my main printer I used for the The Harbinger’s Path (Fireball Printing, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), MCE is also a domestic, NA-based print shop.

MCE prints from Kirkland, Washington, and they have a specific focus on NA-made doujinshi! How cool is that!

To my amazement, they were able to both print and ship my “bonus booklets” in record time. Even better, I am so pleased with their print quality. Thank you so much again to Mike for shipping my booklets out in record time, and with such beautiful print quality! I am beyond pleased with their print quality, especially as this was the first time printing with them, and there wasn’t time for me to check a physical proof before having them printed.

Above are two preview photos!

More photos (including the front cover) + info added to the full post for the interest-check group from earlier this month! (Scroll down to the new “Bonus Booklet” section.)

DnD Commission: Atticus, Osiris, Pontos | April 3, 2026

Posted on April 2, 2026

Dungeons & Dragons commissioned painting showing Osiris, a draconic sorcerer, and Atticus, a soldier, atop Pontos the griffon flying high among the skies above a village far below. — Atticus, Osiris, and Pontos | DnD Commission

Recently finished “Tier-2 style” commission for Skylark celebrating this year’s anniversary with their partner! Their DnD characters – Atticus in the back, a solider; Osiris up front, a sorcerer; and Pontos – Atticus’ trusty griffon!

Here the trio fly high above the skies, Osiris slightly hesitant at first, as he isn’t used to flight as Atticus and Pontos are!

Process images below, followed by a few detail crops:

One more work to archive here! This is a Tier 2: “Watercolor-style” commissioned painting from 2024.

Below are a few process sheets from this commission (with client name omitted, as since this was from a while ago, I cannot quite recall whether this commissioner wished to remain anonymous).

Guild Wars 2 Speedpaintings | March 24, 2026

Posted on March 24, 2026

Speedpainting of a fiery charr surrounded by flames and wielding an oversized wrench-like tool over his shoulder. — Guild Wars 2 “speedpainting” commission

I’ve been meaning to occasionally update this blog with some art I haven’t posted here before! Starting with a few Guild Wars 2 Tier 3 “speedpainting” commissions from a while back. These are 3 of my favorites from 2023!

The other reason I wanted to post these is because I took timelapses of several pieces from the 2023 batch of “speedpaintings.” I’m planning to post the timelapse for the first and third artworks in this post (the fiery charr and the confident-looking sylvari).

I recently finished editing the timelapse videos for those two, and will post them to YouTube soon. I’ll update this post when those process videos are up!

Speedpainting of a Guardian-like character wielding an Ascalonian greatsword erupting with blue flames. — Guild Wars 2 “speedpainting” commission

I’m undecided about whether I’ll post the timelapse for the middle artwork (with the Ascalonian sword – one of my favorite weapon skins!), even though this is personally one of my favorite speedpaintings (I learned much about brushwork doing this one). I discovered while editing the clips that there’s a small portion in the middle that didn’t record. It’s very short, but it’s one of the parts I personally would want to see drawn (it’s when I draw the shoulder shapes), and I feel like it’s less interesting without this portion in there.

Timelapse video above

I searched all through my frames and sadly it is nowhere! It’s just lost. I’ll look at the video again to see if it’s still interesting to watch, but argh! I wish I had it there, because that one was so fun to draw, and I’d have liked to see that part drawn too.

I’ll again update this post with the process videos when they’re up!

Guild Wars 2 Commission: Tarcisio | February 25, 2026

Posted on February 25, 2026

Digital painting of a custom Guild Wars 2 mesmer virtuoso. He levitates above the waters of the Lily of the Elon while surrounded by mesmeric magic. — Finished illustration commission; mesmeric magic version.

Commission for Skylark finished for this past Valentine’s Day, as a surprise gift for their partner! Above is the mesmer virtuoso, “Tarcisio Chiavetta,” who is Damedarosa’s character! (Names mentioned here with permission.)

Above and below are detail crops.

Process sheets below!

For this piece, we began with a general range for the budget. I was given a fair bit of artistic freedom, and I offered to draw a series of thumbnail during the initial sketches, across a range of complexities within their budget. This way, the client could choose the idea which both appealed to them most, and matched their desired budget. The original sheet lists quotes underneath each thumbnail idea, which I’ve omitted here for the client’s privacy.

First-round revision after the sketch idea was chosen.

Sketch 03: Revised sketch, background block-out

Here is blocking out the background more before the painting stage began.

And here is the finished piece once more! This illustration has two versions – a “mesmeric magic” version at the top of the post, and this version above which places the focus more on Tarcisco’s figure.

Thanks so much again to Skylark for this commission!
