Magic, and their parent company, Wizards of the Coast, paid nearly all my bills for years, particularly the long frustrating years when I was trying to get a break in children's publishing.
Here's a pretty lady giant, getting her flying goat groomed by hobbits or whatever.

i love the colors.
As a member of "the long frustrating years" this is great to see. Keep it coming!
I love the way you used lighting here.
Thanks for sharing,

Adam, So I know you use photo reference on some things but did you use photo reference on any of this? Most of this looks invented.
Hey Dan,
I had mountain goat reference, and an image of a piece of folk art that was inspiration for her shoulder ornament.
Otherwise, I don't think I did use reference for anything, including the figures. That's pretty unusual for me.
I should note, by the way, that I actually painted this card after by break into kids' books. I think my original post might suggest otherwise.
This piece is amazing, a great composition and I love the pallette.
Great paintings throughout. Every one of your sketches and painting have some much charm I can hardly believe it. really wonderful blog.
Adam,
Fantastick piece. It's always fun to do the larger than life scope with a character. Fun and whimsical as always...great palette and characters that jump out at you. Inspiring.
Thanks for sharing.
