"Ysval" which I painted for @draco_studios , the home of a (Norse inspired) holy alliance that holds out against monsters of the northern wilderness and tyrannical invaders alike. A griffon's nest crowns the summit of the mountain city.

'Nahuac' is a city (Aztec & Mayan inspired) that lives in symbiosis with nature. A collective of beast and bird people tribes have built the structures there as a ritualistic placement of nodes....

Yay for IG’s bad cropping I guess? Did my best with this one. I’m on twttr if anyone wants to see the whole thing. I think I'm calling this one "The Tower of Darkness and Fire", a commission for a game being designed by fellow artist, Tyler Warren! If I lived here, I'm not sure how often I'd want to step out doors--seems a little toasty.

So here's a piece I've been sitting on for over a year: "The Great Salt City" for an RPG sourcebook called Keyforge: Secrets of the Crucible. I kind of just want to dive under those waves.

"The Red Tree", (and its initial sketch) painted for a game in development. I'm a big fan of trees, but even if this one wasn't the size of a small mountain, I'd advise against hugging it. #fantasyart #gameart #tree #treepainting #horror #horrorscape #ominous #ominoustrees #eerie #foreboding #cursed https://www.instagram.com/p/CBWU4Kjj1t4/?igshid=1uha32j0zjxcb

We sit together, The mountain and I until only the mountain remains. - Li Bai There's little more meditative for me than carving out geological forms with paint. I hope you enjoy! #mountain #landscapepainting #fantasyart #fantasylandscape ##gameart #gameartist #gameillustration #mountainscape https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUU19jjY-4/?igshid=rnj8ql4i8wp2

A week or more late, but here's my 2020 'Art vs Artist'! #artvsartist2020 #artistoninstagram #artistoninsta #fantasyart #scifiart #rpgart #fantasylandscape #numenera #vibrantcolors https://www.instagram.com/p/CAIzz7PDRBt/?igshid=m4pt2ykvuhkp

'Inhabited Statues', a painting for my personal project which you can find here: patreon.com/brucebrenneise "When began the practice of sending (useful) political exiles from Caldareum to this vantage carved from the heads of these ancient statues? This has proved a happy arrangement for all involved, as heads once plucked don't easily un-pluck. Our story begins with one such, an unlikely sort to find himself in such a delicate situation politically. An artist, soon to be called back to court again.

Velcome to 'Tyveria'! A #fantasy realm ruled with iron fist by #vampires, ogres and such, with inspiration (and self-taken ref) from central, south, and south-east Asia. Probably not the best place for casual sight-seeing. @draco_studios AD: @tombabbey #fantasyart #rpg #horror #horrorsetting #rpgart #vampirecastle #castle #creepy #creepyart #eeriebeautiful #conceptart #environmentartist #environmentpainting #environmentconcept #gameart #gameartist #ttrpg #dragonbond #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ij-qNDnaI/?igshid=iz7u9e7wvrjt

'Allaria' for @StudiosDraco. An elven city inspired by imperial China and one of my favorite Chinese national parks, #Zhangjiajie! I spent many occasions hiking through those quartzite towers when I was living in China. #rpgart #rpg #gameartist #gameart #seattleartist #seattleart #fantasyart #elven #fantasycity #fantasylandscape # https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VckCCDDHr/?igshid=ehcyo0v5yuh4

Thought I'd share an alien environment I recently finished for a YA novel, 'Zuu: The Ultimate Field Trip', as well as the rough sketch I started with. #scifiart #scifi #alienworld #alien #seattleart #seattleartist #bookillustration #yabookstagram #aliens👽 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Udmn_DaOd/?igshid=1qdvd3jlu44i4

And on the 40th day sharing my #Numenera art for @montecookgames , we come to our end (for now), in the "Nacreous Swamp". I really wanted to turn the concept of a swamp on its side with this one! A great mire of pearlescent quicksand that even has 'sandfalls' in places such as the one shown. #quicksand #swamp #weirdart #weirdlandscape #scifiart #seattleart #seattleartist #gameart #rpgart #cyphersystem #rpg #rpgartist #scifiartist #conceptart #sciencefantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LifkxjD4c/?igshid=1fylvv56kuxo7

On the 38th day sharing my #Numenera art, we "Break the Horizon" to find a place where gigantic striding creatures provide 'islands' of habitable safety above a molten surface!

On the 37th day sharing my #Numenera art, we climb the gargantuan, mutated branches of the 'Chimeric Forest'. Sapient triple-headed insects make this place their home, creating bubbles within which the raw stuff of probability pops in and out of existence. #scifi #sciencefantasy #seattleart #seattleartist #rpgart #rpgartist #scififriday #chimera #chimaera #chimeric #mutant #mutation #postapocalypse https://www.instagram.com/p/B9-jLtQD9Yb/?igshid=11irojqzj324c

[brucedrawsworlds]

On day 36 sharing my #Numenera art, we find the 'Ever Weeping Mountain'. An iceberg of sorts that continually extrudes from the desert floor, it contains alien life, seeds or viral that awakens as meltwater floods through the surrounding canyons. #scifi #rpg #rpgart #gameart #desertlandscape #desertpainting #iceberg #alienlandscape #alienlandscapes https://www.instagram.com/p/B971ir7DxUF/?igshid=1alfooxqc1ih9

Day 35 sharing my #numenera art finds us deep within the vaunted Amber Monolith! Long a symbol of the mysteries that this setting represents, now some of its secrets have opened up. I was working on this over 2018 holidays, so it became like an experimental xmas tree for me. #weirdtree #seattleart #seattleartist #sciencefantasy #interiordesign #wonders #wonderspaces #rpgart #rpg #rogartist #cyphersystem #ninthworld https://www.instagram.com/p/B95nfFBjwOa/?igshid=382ivwbfccta
