Chimera Series: Tiphant

Greetings everyone! We hope you are doing well. It has been an eventful month for us, as we have been immersed in creating art and improving our workflow by integrating our databases into a new software system. We are excited about this change as we believe it will lead to increased productivity and improved organization.

In terms of art, we have been busy designing characters for the chimera series. One of our recent creations is the Tiphant, the result of an experiment that combines the DNA of a tiger and an elephant.

This creature was fun to bring to life, and I shared on Youtube my process for painting a grayscale version of the character, then coloring it after. I don’t always work this way, but I do like to change my process from time to time to see what will be most efficient.

There are more chimera creatures in the works, and we can't wait to share them with you soon. To stay up to date on our latest creations, be sure to follow my art account on Instagram. We often post sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes content there first. Thank you for your ongoing support and interest in our work.

Painting Process: Garden Fairy

I’m back with another fairy painting! If you watch the video, you will see the older versions I have of this painting dating all the way back to 2018. I’m much more pleased with how it turned out this time!

I have to say, I really enjoyed painting the background in this one, as well as her dress.

I hope you enjoy this artwork when you play your nature decks! I can’t wait to see them in action.

Painting Process: Nursery Worker

Hello! I am back again with another speed paint! This guy is a fairy in charge of caring for saplings and eggs at the nursery. Eggs will grow into bugs and other creatures, and saplings will become trees (ents).

I’m pleased with how the lighting turned out in this one! I have a few more fairies I’ll be sharing in the future so keep an eye out if you are interested in that sort of thing!

Painting a Spirit: Orisha

Hello! I recently painted a new character called Orisha. It is a spirit that uses both water and nature mana, hence the blue and green glowing elements. I shared my process on youtube with a speedpaint video.

It was fun painting squiggly globs of magic! As always, I tried to make interesting shapes. If you like art and want to see more of this kind of thing, please subscribe to my youtube channel! I am still very new and open to suggestions for types of content to put out.

Painting Process: Shaman

I chose “Shaman” to be my first painting to record for Youtube since I planned to make it one of the featured images on the website at launch. She is a magical fairy with the ability to evolve trees into stronger trees using her magic. Trees are one of the creature types (yes, trees are creatures in this magical world) that you can use to customize your deck, and Shaman’s ability can be an important part of your strategy.

I started with a sketch that had some elements that I ended up changing by the end of the painting. From there I did the initial blocking in stage, and then the fun part of rendering. I used mostly a simple set of brushes but I did play around with some texture and foliage brushes as well. This was painted on my iPad pro using Procreate.

Please share, subscribe, and feel free to offer some feedback! I am excited to share with you my journey this year as I continue to paint every character in this game.
