Gouache and ink on paper.

One of the top streamers in the space goes by RedbeardFlynn. His youtube channel sits near the top of the charts when it comes to MMO-focused channels, that tends to orbit a select group of existing and upcoming projects. Regardless of the niche, his analytics prove his ability and commitment to the community, as well as those who might just be peeking in at it.

Content creation is hard. Recording, editing, commentary, community engagement, posting schedule, analytics analysis, guests, topics - all things that many don't even think about when they decide they want to become a personae or create a channel on YouTube. Redbeard is not a victim to that hubris, and his dedication to appropriately showcasing his love of the genre is on full display.

I made this piece for him after watching a few of his streams, and many of his videos. There really isn't a place on the interest that serves as a greater repository of the genre's industry, including news, gossip, expansions, and upcoming titles.

If you're here reading this, then you're interested in the topics he covers. I highly recommend some views if you want a true expert on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/redbeardflynn.

As for the design in this specific painting, I wanted to have the bones representative of the mastery of the summon, but also serve as a pseudo crown or angel of death motif.
