I started working on commissioning artwork for a human-only Fantasy Art Gallery in January, 2024 and was able to commission artists every month through March, 2025.

In March, I quit my full-time corporate job of 22+ years to work on Morvold Press full-time, which meant giving up that additional line of income. Due to that, I had to put a pause on the Fantasy Art Gallery I was working toward, because it was just money out of my pocket (not monetizing it elsewhere) to commission artists to create whatever they wanted, so that the felt encouraged professionally and supported financially.

I am happy to say that I should be able to afford another round of commissions for June, so I wanted to have you guys vote on the theme!

How does it work?

I commission artists to create works centered around a theme (i.e. Rangers & Animal Companions), and they have the whole month to create the piece. They can choose to make whatever they want within the theme, because I feel like artists do their best work, when they are making something they're passionate about and without me telling them what to do.

So -- please vote for the theme you'd most like to see some commissioned art around that you could potentially put into your games!

If you have other suggestions, please put them in the comments! =)

Warlock Patron art is the coolest idea ever 👍

Hey Morvold, I just wanted to congratulate you on breaking free of the corporate world to pursue your art. At 22 years, that had to have been a HUGE leap for you, and I just wanted to say how incredible and inspiring this is. I'm 10 years into my corporate job, and it's my biggest life goal to be able to quit one day and be a full-time artist. Congratulations, and I've enjoyed seeing all of your various projects come together! Cheers, DM Andy
