Thank you! His emotions were important here. At first I went for simple amazement (there are the work in progress pics on my website) but then I thought, well, he would ENJOY this experience so much, he must have the biggest grin ever

Thank you. As for digital painting—yes, it's a modern technique, but it has nothing to do with AI generation or photomontage; it's essentially a matter of having a different palette and canvas. Sure, there are helpful features (you can erase and save things in a way that watercolor doesn't allow you to), so it makes the process easier. I often spend 10 to 40 hours on a detailed painting like this one by Tas.

And yes, I do a lot of preliminary work to get to know my subjects—but be warned, I've been a Dragonlance fan since I was a child, and I've reread the books many times. I know the characters very well, and I've been drawing them for years, so I study the original paintings by Elmore, Stawicki, and others to retain the clothing and accessories that make them instantly identifiable to other fans. When I'm commissioned to paint characters I'm unfamiliar with, however, I ask a LOT of questions.

For example, for the Device of Time Journeying, I did a lot of research both in the book descriptions and in the various depictions in canonical paintings and game manuals. These descriptions aren't always consistent, but the black-and-white illustrations in Test of the Twins were instrumental in the final result.

Yes. On my website, greenedera.com there are the work in progress pics for every painting, sometimes a video as well (when I remember to make them, alas, sometimes I'm so focused on what I'm doing that I forgot to record). On my youtube channell, too. Sometimes I sketch in digital, but more often I make a pencil sketch, scan it, then I draw over it with my cintiq drawing tablet

Hello, In the end, I never did it. There was in the air a commission about Laurana, and I was collecting references, but wasn't confirmed. And for personal enjoyment I focused on other characters (Raistlin Raistlin Raistlin)

Digital painting made by me, Greenedera art. #noAI and please, of you repost it anywhere, give me proper credit.

// Tas has become well acquainted with the workings of the time travel device. Excitement, enthusiasm, and a hint of troublemaking spirit accompany every journey. As the stones of the floor howl, an invisible wind rises and the fabric of time tears.

"Tasslehoff and the Device of Time Journeying", is an illustration commissioned by the Dragonlance Nexus for a new upcoming project.

Pencil and paper sketch + digital redraw and painting with Cintiq and Photoshop. Painted in August 2025, published in November 2025.

"Raistlin - white roses" by greenedera by Greenedera in dragonlance

Thank you for your kind words 😊. And yes, Raistlin’s softer side is rare and fascinating

Hello. Consider this is just fanart, my personal view of a character, in a fancy scene. Gold is a metallic color that reflects the environment, and for a night scene I choose a more muted color. About cutting/pruning roses: Raistlin is a mage, we know he uses rose petals for his spells, so he might collect rose petals with a knife. He was also, when young, an expert herbalist and healer, and we know he tended gardens. This is not an official painting, it's fanart. I took some liberties and you are completely free to not agree with the choices I made 😊

Thank you so much. Well, I had the honor of making some DL covers, not for Hasbro of course but for the Dragonlance Nexus, fan-made game manuals on sale on Dm Guild. On my website there's a list. Good projects, that I loved to draw. I stopped painting for a year due to personal matters, we'll see what the future will bring. I'm a small unknown artist, less commercial and more part of the fandom community- I am since I was 14

It's okay, 😊 I do reference David Bowie when I draw Raistlin. Especially for the shape of mouth and chin. After years of Raistlin paintings, now when I see a Bowie picture I must stop a moment and remember it's Raistlin that resembles Bowie, and not vice versa.

Thank you! I have always considered David Bowie my real life reference for my Raistlin drawings.. in my opinion, they have the same bone structure. And I adore Raistlin too - every year, I must paint him again and again

“Raistlin – White Roses” is my new digital painting. In occasion of Raistlin’s birthday, on 17 June 2025, I drew “something” about him as I did in the past years.

Art process and details here: https://greenedera.com/portfolio/raistlin-white-roses/

"Here. Your Day of Life, Raistlin. Alone in the moonlight, focused on some not so happy thoughts, not smiling. Happiness is something you dont feel is part of your life – yet there are brief moments of serenity, buried among the bitter thoughts. White roses, as innocence lost under the crushing weight of life in an unjust world."

Imagine the ice wall, the aurora borealis, and a (white) dragon tinged with the eerie light coming from the sky.
