D&D Character Sheets

An image of a hand illustrated lantern with water floating inside.

A friend needed custom sheets sized to fit a specialized binder, so I created a set of functional, character-class-inspired inserts tailored to her tabletop game. The design combined practical organization with personal storytelling, featuring a vectorized version of an illustration she had hand-drawn in her notes. Tools: Adobe Illustrator

Dune Study

A sandworm with an open mouth emerges from an orange desert under a starry sky. Two spaceships fly nearby, with two large orange planets or moons in the background.

Inspired by the upcoming release of Dune: Awakening, I created this piece as an excuse to experiment with a new illustration style. I stepped away from my usual workflow, exploring a retro-inspired approach that relied on textured shading and bold shapes instead of traditional line art. The project pushed me to think differently about lighting, […]

Ima Travelling

A cloaked figure with white hair and a staff stands on a grassy hill, gazing at a distant, glowing purple tower rising above misty forested hills under a blue sky.

What began as a simple practice illustration focused on environment, atmosphere, and scale gradually grew into a fully realized scene featuring one of my former Dungeons & Dragons characters.

Sawtooth Mountain Illustration

Created as a personal gift for my mother, this illustration reimagines Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains in a mixed-media-inspired style. The composition contrasts a soft, watercolor sky with a bold, black-and-white marker rendering for the mountains and their reflection, creating a balance between organic texture and graphic linework. Originally designed as a phone wallpaper, the piece focuses […]

Voyd’s Vision

A cloaked figure stands on a rocky path, facing a large red crystal floating above a dark structure, with white smoke swirling through a blue-green sky.

This illustration was created to capture a pivotal moment from my Dungeons & Dragons campaign: a vision experienced by Voyd, my kobold sorcerer player’s character. Rather than simply illustrating a character portrait, this piece focused on translating a narrative moment into a visual experience. The goal was to explore how visual storytelling can communicate a […]

Bunny Twitch Alerts

As part of creating a more personal and memorable Twitch experience, I designed a custom set of stream alerts inspired by my own bunnies. Since they were already such an important part of my life, incorporating them into my channel identity felt like a natural way to create a space that was welcoming, recognizable, and […]
