As I was painting the owl his chest reminded me of poppyseed cake, so it led to a joke of a mouse offering the owl a piece of lemon poppyseed cake in exchange for information… or safe passage. Probably both.

A magical creature biologist is writing a book, but has gotten up for a momentary rest and stretch. The page reads, " Dragons. While many fossils of all breeds of dragons have been found in all different climates, it is regarded that all are now extinct." Yet a tiny dragon has managed to knock over his ink, make a mess of that idea, and curl up next to the quill with a cat toy. Dragons are not extinct! They are just right under your nose...
Made for Art Order' s Tiny Dragons contest.

"The golden amulet gleamed in the waning light of the abandoned cemetery, finally at home. The monument was a testament to its power and a warning to those foolish enough to seek it."
This piece depicts what comes to pass if an adventurer claims this magical talisman as their own. Even as they gain torrential power the amulet forces the life from the body until nothing but a shallow husk remains. A marble statue was erected to both honor those deceased and warn onlookers of the trinket.

Illustrating one of the seven deadly sins, sloth. I associate lack of energy with sloth, so what better way to illustrate it than the barren and dead landscape of winter. The ice fairy is too lifeless to even realize her ice has broken off from the mainland and all she can do is float along at the glacial pace of melting ice.
I intend to illustrate the other six deadly sins with different landscapes and mythological creatures.
