Irina Nordsol Kuzmina

Hi everyone! I’m Irina, freelance fantasy illustrator based in Spain. I love painting gloomy mysterious things, powerful ladies and wings :3

Second illustration from Cynthia Sheppard’s course at Smarter Artschool. The focus was on showing the story through characters interactions. I struggled a lot with ideas for the second part of the course, but I like what I came up with.

🐰Gearing up for Lunar New Year with another prior piece! Some bunnies hopping by with some luck🐰 🧧 祝你好运 🧧

I'm excited to share that I'm part of the Magic: The Gathering, In Miniature III show at Gallery Nucleus! I oil painted three artist proofs for the show, and two of them sold during the preview 🖤 #art #oilpainting #traditionalart #mtgart

I know everyone are just as tired as me after the past several years (esp last one). We don’t want fire, destruction or any more life changing events that would make us stronger. So my fire horse is more of a celestial fire, giving hope, strength and resilience 💜 I hope we can get through this.

For book 3 and wrapping up my Mistborn fanart series: a portrait of Elend that I've always wanted to do 👓🖤 First challenge of the year done 📚 #art #fantasyart #mistborn #cosmere

Officially my favorite art of the set 😍

Really, why would anyone analyze planes themselves? Not like it’s a useful exercise that helps you get better in the process, is it?

My first illustration from Cynthia Sheppard’s course in Smarter Artschool I have two more still cooking :3 The course was a blast! Cynthia is a fantastic teacher and a very empathetic person. I loved everything: the info, the approach, the feedback sessions. So yeah, highly recommended!

hey all, I’m once again struggling to pay rent and groceries this month. go buy my folktale book, grab a print (on sale!), anything helps badbucket.itch.io/the-beasts-and-blessings-of-the-hallowd-hall inprnt.com/gallery/badbucket/ paypal.me/badbucket

Let it be my first post here! This house is a part of my bigger personal project. Someday I’ll give a name for this project :D

This year summary! It did had its challenges, but it wasn’t too bad. I made two more traditional paintings, so at least I’m crawling in the right direction. Next year I hope to focus on faces and creatures. And do some more traditional ofc, but life isn’t helping.

My artworks for ATLA x MtG! I’m myself a fan of the show so it was an exciting opportunity and a very interesting style experiment. I’m honored to illustrate such important cards for EDH :33 I’m just a bit sad they are so hard to get :DD still hope to see some of them at the shows!

Now that I've recovered from my cold and isn't sneezing my brains out, I finally managed to finish up my piece from @paulscottcanavan.com 's mentorship :D Knew I wanted to paint a horse, so decided to draw some inspiration from the wild hunt folklore and ended up with bonus doggies.

Some of the proofs I made at MagicCon Atlanta. Thank you everyone who came say hi :3

Well he just learns not from experts but from his friend putin who named all kinds of words and letters like “LGBTQ+” and “child free” undesirable organizations. I do hope US still has institutions able to oppose this.

Hi and thanks a lot to the new people following me! I try to keep my posts about art and art-related stuff, and I don't paint quickly so you needn't worry about being spammed. You miiiiight get a few reposts though :)

🦌FINAL BOSS🐍 celebration piece for another social media’s milestone!

New oil painting, unfortunately reflecting how I feel currently with the world being as it is 😩

Unfortunately I know these “is this happening” bummers all too well 😩 been there maybe 10 times, still waiting

Exploring pencils! Feels amazing

Since I’ve delved into my older works and found some stuff that I still think is cool, I decided to make a Throwback Thursday post!

Heeeey I’ll be at MagicCon Atlanta this September! Super excited to meet everyone :3 You can preorder Artist Proofs for the event here: forms.gle/RKd6sS2XpVvT...

Post an old illustration you still like 🌙 I have quite a few actually! But this is definitely one of the favs

Today is my birthday! I turned 39, it's... a lot 😁 As always, the best gift would be sharing my art.

I’ve turned 35 today! The best present for an artist is their art reposted, and I’d be grateful for that too ) especially since I’m currently open for new opportunities :3

Some of the fun APs I got to paint at Commandfest Bonn :333

Just saw a guy hyping up about ai making 2d video 3d (so you can move within the video like in a game), saying "can you imagine we will be able to do this while watching movies". You people really don't understand art, do you... (not that I'm surprised)

Preparing APs preorders for Bologna. Sneaky Brainstorm is my fav commission!

"AI art Ghibli trend" but it's Miyazaki's reaction and actually art
