Ildarataan Ganjo, Blade Beast of the Steel Forest

A private commission for Malusthe16th of a beloved NPC from their Exalted campaign, a setting from Onyx Path Publishing, in which I got to design Ganjo from the ground up. While I have been more involved with fine art projects for the past few years, this project represents a big step towards creting more TTRPG-inspired work, one of my first loves that got me drawing in the first place. It feels like coming home.

Stay tuned to my Patreon (www.patreon.com/angelasasser) for a deep dive into this project's many interesting lore-driven facets.

For more of my commission information, I am currently open to private and commercial commissinos with preference for folk horror, dark fantasy, and character-driven projects:
