Happy Year of the Dragon everyone! With a handle like “Painting Dragon Feathers”, of course I have a few dragons under my wings, lol—and more on the way! Some exciting things are in the works during Painting Dragon Feathers’ sabbatical! May the dragons favor you and your creative endeavors this year.

Now that CryptoZoo is at the editor, I can start designing and thumbnailing dragons for the Umbral Wings tarot deck. And what better background noise than Nathan playing in a live orchestra!

I swear by story bibles when writing, and I’ll make a future post going in depth about making one. First step is to handmake the book like this! Let me know if you’d be interested in this style of journal to be available at Painting Dragon Feathers.

2023 Custom Poke'Ball Commissions

Hey there peeps! Here’s some of the custom Poke’ball Commissions I finished for clients over 2023—between moving and cons, I didn’t get a chance to post most of them till now. I had a lot of fun requests, from a Snorlax soaking in a giant ramen bowl to a Mareep with a glowing moon.

Want a unique custom Poke’Terrarium? My commission queue is open! You can find the information here-->

Now that it’s been gifted, here’s another recent art present I made digitally in procreate. Did you know that in welsh forlklore, corgis are the chosen steed of the fairies?

Sneak peak progress on the refined digital scratchboard draft for Wheel of Fortune for Umbral Wings. I’m so excited for how this is going to turn out. I’m less excited about the insane amount of goldfish I’ll have to scratch in the process. It is a hell of my own making, and it is full of goldfish.

Progress on the 78 Tarot Nautical tarot card—I work on a digital draft before working on the actual scratchboard. My card is the 10 of cups, featuring a family of stingrays!
