A few more finished paintings from THE BLADE ITSELF ⚔️ It was fun to get @LordGrimdark's reactions to these as we went along; I was happy to get his enthusiastic approval of some of the more bizarre choices. Photo credit "collectiblebookvault" on IG. #thebladeitself #illustration
I feel quite fortunate to have snuck 2 pieces into this year's @SOI128 Annual Exhibit. The show is always tough! Can't wait to see all the work in NY this summer. Cheers to Daph at @Daphne_Press and @TorDotComPub's AD @CFoltzer for the opportunities to paint cool stuff ❤️
THE BLADE ITSELF ⚔️ These are unused (well, mostly) sketches from the process of bringing @LordGrimdark's debut masterpiece to life for Curious King Books; we left a lot on the cutting room floor. Can you tell who/what the hell is going on here? #thefirstlaw #illustration #bayazz
The more people ask, the higher the chance! I wasn’t initially planning to… (and thank you!)

THE BLADE ITSELF ⚔️ More of my art from the Curious King illustrated edition. These are the endpapers, depicting Adua as Logen sees it upon first arrival. Sketch included, + alt. sketch depicting our four mains crossing the bridge to the House of the Maker. #thefirstlaw #firstlaw
...aaaand here are those earlier cover sketches for @LordGrimdark's "The Blade Itself." These were the earliest explorations of how the dustjacket layout might look, before we simplified the B9 + Ferro fight sketch to further emphasize carnage and expressiveness.
Now that the books are out in the wild, it'll be fun to share the final paintings and some process work from illustrating @LordGrimdark's "The Blade Itself" for Curious King Books. Dustjacket + later sketches. At this point we were just refining; earlier sketches in another post.
SABRIEL. Final cover + alternate sketches painted for the @illumicrate / @Daphne_Press 30th Anniversary Edition. #sabriel
Do others feel this way...?
LIRAEL. Painted for @illumicrate / @Daphne_Press, whose production on these is spice level maximum 🌶️
I was asked to cover the Italian edition of @PatrickRothfuss's "The Wise Man's Fear." The brief: Felurian? 🤔 This made things simple: don't worry about the complex narrative, just nail the strangeness of this one feral being. (+alt sketch) #kingkillerchronicles #thenameofthewind
A familiar image perhaps but with a twist.
🎼 Painted black 🎵 An assortment of images solved with pure black, ranging from 2016 to 2018. The phase seems to be over… for now. #painting

I thought it’d be cool to share the sketches for “The Wandering Emperor” from #MTGNeon, next to the final. The values here were a lot of the fun/work, and owe much to the woodblock prints of Yoshida Hiroshi. Still available as a print for 48 more hours: tommyarnoldart.com/purchase
The Wandering Emperor (AKA my personal love letter to OG Kamigawa), painted for @wizards_magic's #MTGNeon, with cool-dude AD @zack_stella. She's available as a premium 11 x 14 print for 72 hours only, starting now: tommyarnoldart.com/purchase
Due to the number of requests, I'll be extending the sale period by one day, ending the sale on 2/2 at 12pm EST. So you have 48 hours left to grab Nona, Harrow, and Gideon as prints before they disappear back into the locked tomb, to await Alecto... 💀 tommyarnoldart.com/purchase
If there is still an Earth, yes. But matching prints for all the sets will be available so no one's edition will be incomplete.

@TommyArnoldArt @LordGrimdark So damn good. I just signed up to your mailing list and am eagerly awaiting anything First Law related you do in the future 😎
@TommyArnoldArt @LordGrimdark Hahahahahahahaha hahaha!
@TommyArnoldArt @DianaDworak @LordGrimdark Just a maestro at work!
@TommyArnoldArt @LordGrimdark Dear God man. Your design choices and brush handling make me want to scream. I f---ing love it. It's definitely time to resubscribe to your patreon.
@TommyArnoldArt @LordGrimdark The one with Jazel and Ardee is my favorite. It’s too bad that you aren’t able to do the second book. But it’s totally understandable.
@TommyArnoldArt @LordGrimdark Loved everything you did, Tommy!
@TommyArnoldArt @LordGrimdark Incredible work!!
Ahsgshdhs this is amazing. The humour of the first law is what makes it so good, and i feel a lot of people miss that
@TommyArnoldArt They all look great Tommy, would've loved to see quite a few of those as the final cover!
🥺🥺🥺🥺love all of them especially logen's fall

@TommyArnoldArt Cor, no wonder Glokta is so miserable! That's a lot of stairs in Adua...
@TommyArnoldArt Spectacular work, Tommy!
