The Growing Atelier
Welcome to The Growing Atelier.
This is a quiet space where ideas become paintings, paintings become stories, and nature gently guides the creative process.
Here I share sketches, behind-the-scenes moments, reflections, creative exercises and the journey behind my books and art.
Together we nurture a deeper connection with nature through creativity.
Thank you for supporting independent art and becoming part of this growing creative world.

Description
“It is not rare for some individuals to come up to me with the suggestion of changing my appearance to something they refer to as “nicer.” Merely a polite way of saying that they are perturbed by my appearance. Normally, I do not care what others think of my appearance, but one day I too became curious and gave different helmets a try.
Macabre: I have had this one for as long as I can remember. It’s strange, but wearing it gives me some sense of comfort and security. I tend to only remove it around those I’m completely comfortable being around, or when I know I’ll need to gain another’s trust. Otherwise, I don’t see myself leaving this look anytime soon.
Safe Haven: I have once heard of a race of coyote-like mortals whose culture seemed to revolve around masks. This was modeled after some examples of theirs, but I believe it would be more of a mockery to them, as their masks carry deep, personal meaning to them.
(OOC: Based on the species of kyacaotl, from the work, Hayven Celestia, by Rick Griffin and Gre7g Luterman)
Goetia Visage: An attempt was made at a more regal appearance based on the looks and plumage of my father, Halphas. In the end, perhaps it would be better to further disconnect myself from the Goetia families I left, and I hope my father one day does the same.
Guardian: This was an idea from Mirage’s father, Behemoth, in order to further show my alignment to Heaven. Mirage’s mother, Laurana, whom this was modeled after, was never able to decide if the visage was flattering or not. Perhaps a different coloration would have worked better.
Heart’s Love: I’ll never tire of proclaiming my love to Mirage.
Cybernetic: Very loosely modeled after an unusual artificial mortal whom Mirage has encountered twice now by the name of Cyber. He’s proven to be good to chat with.
(OOC: based on Cyberdragon)
Helm of Camazotz: The visage of a dark god of the night, sacrifices, and death. I’ll admit, I have never personally met this god, but I have heard a few tales of how underhanded he could be. Mostly a reminder of when I was offered the role of Reaper, but I have long since declined the role.”
