For MTG's latest set, "Adventures in the Forgotten Realms" (yes, the D&D Forgotten Realms). An owlbear! So I excited I got to do one of these guys, I've always thought they looked awesome.

Yay! It's a "hoot-grr"! These guys are cool looking and can be downright nasty to a low-level party.
I like how it seems to be saying "You want a piece of this?", with how it's claws are raised.

(A) that's terrifying, bears are scary enough but I do not EVER want to meet one of these in the woods
(B) I didn't know it was possible for a painting's perspective to make me feel faintly seasick
© Owlbear is clearly remonstrating with me as though she just can't quite believe someone can be that stupid
(D) awesome, just awesome.

Oh no! A wild TPW-waiting-to-happen has appeared!
Fantastic work as always! The light especially makes it all work so well.

Always so breathtaking, might buy this set! first time putting money into MTG in a while o:
Ah honestly this set is fantastic, just stellar art and really good flavor all around I think!
And thank you!
And thank you!
Other way around: Shrike is that, unless Dauntless was around before the late 1970s.
Look at that cute little face! I know he'd murder me dead given the chance, but I'd still hug him.
So glad you've gotten to do so many cards! All amazing!
Gonna be making this one play more green, surely

Dude I freaking love that your work is getting on the cards! Need to start collecting them for art sake again 💙
Thank you so much! I'm so stoked to be a part of this game and community, it's been a great experience so far!
Oh you did this card! That is amazing. Now I will know something funny about this card when I see it in magic. :3
love the fur and feather texture over the body, is that created from painting on various layers, or your work flow?
I've only in the last year or so gotten into MTG but have been a massive DnD nerd for a while! And on top of all that I'm a HUGE fan of your artwork, the detail, style and atmosphere always blows me away^^ I get so excited when I manage to pull your art cards for MTG that I can only imagine how wild it's going to be to pull your renditions of all the DnD monsters! This particular piece gets bonus points for being my favourite beastie XD Very excited for the new Forgotten Realms set!
Thank you so much! Funnily enough I've never been big into D&D but this set actually has me really tempted! I've been loving the flavor on the cards and the characters and creatures from the Forgotten Realms universe - I was familiar with a few but I feel like this set has exposed me to a lot of stuff I didn't know that I'm now curious about.
That's a beyond fantastic looking owlbear! I don't know if it's by chance, but you sure seem to have gotten the opportunity to draw (what I presume will be ) a lot of green-type cards, haha!
