Chromatic Mana

I got a commission to paint up a Chromatic Mana. I hadn't painted a mana with a hand in a gauntlet so I felt like that was a great choice. Plus I loved that it made the hand non-gendered. It seems fun to add one more option to the mana choices as ...

Warrior Samurai

Have you ever seen Seven Samurai? Great movie if you haven't seen it. It's inspired so many movies and stories since. I wanted to capture a bit of tension from the samurai living in a bit of danger as ronin.
