Hey, I'm a freelance artist. Love doing fantasy and sci-fi work but do stray into other stuff as well at times. Check out my YouTube channel for tutorials and time lapses https://t.co/x0WRB3moe8

A friend is murdered but each step to justice brings fresh peril.

"A masterpiece of #17thcentury #HistoricalFiction—immerses the imagination in #murder and #mystery, against the brutal backdrop of war."
Mark Turnbull, author of 'Charles I's Private Life'

I'm reading this very thoroughly right now, taking lots of notes on the characterisations, etc... it's so good! Very well-written and exciting. #KeepItStuart

Just finished work on a portrait commission, which I've been greenlit by the client to share. This is Matthew Rider from the book 'The Fugitive's Sword', which was recently released.

Just finished a new painting, inspired by a scene from a book I recently read 'The Fugitive's Sword'. Amazing book, just packed with inspiration.

@ccityplanner12 @KingCharlesIRTN I painted it using oil brushes in Photoshop. So there's no board or canvas to add that brush texture, but it's still painted by hand one stroke at a time as I would have done with normal oils.

@KaiserKat04 Thanks! That would be a great gig.

Finished with this portrait of Charles I. Pleased with the finished product :)

Finished some new personal work. I've been studying the works of Philips Wouverman a lot lately, so this is a huge nod to him.

@emswifthook Interesting observation. And an amazing painting.

@emswifthook Fascinating lighting in this piece. The foliage is pushed so dark it's nearly just a black backdrop for the flowers, and the flowers are lit as if bathing in a fairly reasonable amount of sunlight. The result is stunning.

@ASBNBYN I had wondered how obscure it might be without color. But I'm glad the color and rendering helps clarify it.

Finished this #Batman piece for my nephew's birthday. Now to get it printed and framed.

[ART with IAN @ARTwithIAN1]

New #WIP. Getting started on the annual #Batman piece I paint for my nephew. He's as big a fan as I am, so it's great to give him a new piece for his birthday each year. I think this comp is ready. Let the painting begin.

@_FrancesOwen @emswifthook @bayne_wendy @LoweChrisR @Mary2Drawz @LauraAKarim @Jamielear1 Couldn't agree more that having more to learn is wonderful and exciting. And yes she very much does.

@_FrancesOwen @emswifthook @bayne_wendy @LoweChrisR @Mary2Drawz @LauraAKarim @Jamielear1 I love the period, just not as knowledgeable as I could be. But I definitely love the period, much thanks to @emswifthook's stunning historical epic, Lord's Legacy.

@_FrancesOwen @emswifthook @bayne_wendy @LoweChrisR @Mary2Drawz @LauraAKarim @Jamielear1 You are spot on there. I wasn't.
