Ephemeral echo

Do you mind sharing what your rates would be for a game soundtrack ?
I'm kind of lost on that side and I have no idea if I have the budget to get a composer or if I should find preexisting music

Good idea, didn't though about that

Hey, Does anyone knows about where I could find ressources about bideo game music ?
I have been working on a solo game project for a while and I need to find music for the game and it's trailer and I don't really know where to look for composers or premade music and what prices to expect.

QRP with your sketch vs final!

If you see this post your bird art!

Thanks !
After seeing yours I really want to paint an owl in oil though, love the expressive brushwork you used

Post bird art!

This is a fragment of Labyrinth: a world I’m building in images, objects, and stories.

The boat will return. Somewhere else. At another height.

An illustration of Tal'whe the Fowldyr who belongs to Arukanoda (Apex) Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me) www.fowldyr.com A camel-like creature with a long tail tipped in feathers walks through an environment that resembles salt flats. The creature is black and gold and carries a large vase on their back in place of a camel's hump. Large arches of rock appear in the distance with a massive white tree root spiraling around them. #Fowldyr #Stasanie

Salt Flats

New painting! "Midsummer Procession", 33"x 21", Oil on Linen.

I kind of have the same thing sometime, long period with no "high". I think the most important thing to get from this graph is that what we see and what we made are not corelated.
They both flow and noticing mistakes in your work is sometime a sign that you improved your observation skills.

I saw a few people posting owls so I'm posting some owls illustrations I made.
I love those strange birds

Thanks !

Some quick illustration I made a few month ago and forgot to post

Well at first I thought I was just doing the same thing again and again so it sounded a bit like artistic laziness to me.
Until I reminded myself that enjoying making art is important, and if this enjoyment meant painting blue glowing stuff I was going to paint more glowing blue stuff.

After looking back at some of my personal illustrations I realised I really enjoy painting blue glowing effects.

I thought about it and came to the conclusion I wasn't going to stop

An illustration depicting a young boy sadly reading a book. The pages fly around him, forming the armor of a giant golden knight that serves as a protective shell. Arrows are stuck on the armor, while the knight stands on one knee, vigilantly holding a sword.

Reflections

Hey #portfolioday, I paint Finno-Ugric Mysticism inspired art for myself and neat fantasy stuff for Magic: The Gathering!

I only started oil recently and smell is (strangely) one of my favorite part of the process. It makes it feel so much more tactile and tangible

Thank you so much !

It's my pleasure to offer @istrandar.bsky.social 's first traditional painting for Magic - it's Luminollusk !!

This weird little guy is oil on cotton canvas, approx. 16" x 20"

Auction is Up!

Thanks ! It was really fun to try weird design, the brief really gave me the possibility to do weird things

And the card

The sketches

The painting !
I had to make a few changes but it's still quite close to the final

Luminollusk

My first oil painting made for magic the gathering ! The Ad asked for traditional looking illustrations for the set. At first I only wanted to start in oil and finish it digitally, but the paitning went well and I ended up painting everything in oil.

“Blossoming Defense” from Lorwyn. Oil on gessoboard. Big thank you to my AD Sam Padilla for the commission! This is one of my favourite things I’ve ever painted.
