- Some quick illustration I made a few month ago and forgot to post
- After looking back at some of my personal illustrations I realised I really enjoy painting blue glowing effects. I thought about it and came to the conclusion I wasn't going to stop
- Reposted by Istrandar"An armor called fantasy." Personal piece inspired by reflections about escapism. #art

- Reposted by IstrandarHey #portfolioday, I paint Finno-Ugric Mysticism inspired art for myself and neat fantasy stuff for Magic: The Gathering!
- Reposted by IstrandarIt's my pleasure to offer @istrandar.bsky.social 's first traditional painting for Magic - it's Luminollusk !! This weird little guy is oil on cotton canvas, approx. 16" x 20" Auction is Up! mtgart.auction/Luminollusk
- Luminollusk My first oil painting made for magic the gathering ! The Ad asked for traditional looking illustrations for the set. At first I only wanted to start in oil and finish it digitally, but the paitning went well and I ended up painting everything in oil. AD : Ovidio Cartagena
- The painting ! I had to make a few changes but it's still quite close to the final
- Reposted by IstrandarMy four Lorwyn Eclipsed paintings (because it's fun to see them together like this)!
- Reposted by Istrandar“Blossoming Defense” from Lorwyn. Oil on gessoboard. Big thank you to my AD Sam Padilla for the commission! This is one of my favourite things I’ve ever painted.
- Lots of good tips there if you are a concept artist/ illustrator

- Reposting some personal works I made during the last years. I wish I could be more ambitious with my own work but I often end up doing very safe illustrations. I really like them but I wish I had the energy to try some new subjects

- "Chasmfiend on the Hunt" Illustration made for the Cosmere Rpg. I was reading the Stormlight archives a second time when I got the opportunity to make this so I was fully hype ! Bringing to life such a cool creature was a treat
- The sketches ! Chasmfiend are big, have a lot of legs and are quite low to the ground so finding the right pose was challenging. Figuring out how it could move and how to have it emote was an interesting task. I used the front legs to show weight and stability and make the composition flow.
- I just realised I didn't uploaded this as an animation but as a still. So there is the little rig test I did a few month ago. I was planning on doing a full animation but I got distracted and ended up making a game (I'll try to show this soon !)

- Some more experimentations I did in blender. I really enjoy drawing something and giving it life in 3D I'll try to make a more ambitious animation with this little fellow but it will probably take some time
