🩹 Joel Miller — The Last of Us (HBO) Pedro Pascal fan art

I wanted to paint a quieter kind of intensity—a moment after the fight, where Joel is tending to his wounds in the dark. He’s somewhere silent, possibly someone else’s space, maybe waiting for the next thing to go wrong. The tension’s still there—but so is the weariness. Pedro Pascal brings such a quiet storm to this character, and I loved trying to capture that in this piece.

🌿Commission spotlight!🌿

This serene centaur archer resides in the Feywild — but unlike the typical chaos of that realm, she and her clan live mindfully, grounded in stillness and contemplation. I loved the contrast in her concept: a Vulcan-like calm in a world of whimsy.

In this portrait, she’s just loosed an arrow, prancing through a quiet creek, the golden light of summer warming the water. She’s smiling — not in victory, but in play. A moment of peace, caught mid-motion.

I loved painting her.

Astarion, my beloved disaster vampire 🖤

Had so much fun capturing his dramatic flair in this portrait! This is definitely one of my favorite recent pieces — I got to lean into all the elegance and menace.

Excellent painting tutorial. In case you don't know the terms in the last description, "edge variation" means having "hard" or "soft" edges, where hard edges are crisp and good for high-detail, and soft edges are more blurry/smudged and are good for giving objects the appearance of receding in distance. In the painting above, the snake's eye uses hard edges, and its teeth and underside of the jaw use softer edges. "Occlusion shadows" are the absolute darkest parts because they are the areas where no light reaches, not even reflected or ambient light. They tend to be small and are used sparingly. Above, there's an occlusion shadow around the snake's eye. However, the shading of the eye was probably exaggerated to make it stand out more, since it's the focal point.
