A Mercy illustration from #gamescom2019 . It didn’t end up seeing too much use but I was pretty happy with it. She’s a lovely character to draw.

Last night it seemed to me that painting an egg was the correct use of my time. I don’t think I have ever felt this way before, and I’m not sure I ever will again. #sunnysideup #whydididrawthis
An oldie, but still one of my favorites. #kerrigan is fun character to paint and I imagine you can tell that detailing those zerglings was something that I especially had fun with! Can’t lose with python mouths and coconut crab carapaces :) #starcraft #zergling #familytime #laustin
A project based loosely on the little blue/purple dragon in my last post. A different dragon in the same genus - The Emerald Sword-Tail. This is a sculpt done in CX-5 wax and cast in urethane. I might one day sell a small run of these online if there is enough interest but they’re way too labor intensive to make many of!

Here’s a little design I did a while back. I was going for the attitude of a hummingbird .. cute, but it’d take your face off if you gave it half a chance. Probably turned out a little too far on the cute side, but ah wells. Next time! #dragonart #ldaustin #instadragon
Cover for my art book Dinosaurs in Repose. I sold this at #lightboxexpo last year, and though I am not currently selling it online, I expect to be selling them again this year! FWIW, the book is generally my art - it has plenty of dinosaurs, but also plenty of other things :) #tyrannosaurus #dinosaursrepose #ldaustin #dinoart #instaillistration #artbook
Man, it’s been a while since my last post, but I thought I’d take a sec to let you guys know I’m going to be at LightBox Expo again this September! I’ll have my books again and maybe a few other things too. It was a great show last year and I’m sure it’ll only be bigger and better this year!

Come meet my buddy Phineas at #lightboxexpo next week! I’ll have a small number of original size prints on archival watercolor paper.

New #hearthstone expansion Key art!!! I’m really happy to be putting this one up here .. I can say with confidence that it this particular constellation of subjects will never, EVER come up again. #Camels and #dinosaurs come up rarely enough, but together!l? With #horses and #murlocs and #elves ? Crazy town. But I made sure to enjoy every minute of it :). Hope you guys do too!
