Description
In this episode of The Fireside, Jake sits down with Peter Mohrbacher — celebrated digital painter, character designer, and creator of the stunning Angelarium series. Peter shares how a nerdy teenager obsessed with anime and video games became one of the most recognizable names in fantasy illustration, with work spanning Magic: The Gathering, indie art shows, and a thriving freelance career built on Kickstarter and Patreon.
They dig into Peter's unconventional creative process — including his use of gradient maps to find color — the evolution of the convention scene, how he got himself fired into a successful solo career, and why the most important part of a critique has nothing to do with anatomy or tangents.
Peter will also be one of the headlining instructors at the Paradise Artist Retreat this October at Jiminy Peak, where he'll be leading a digital painting workshop.
