ABG - November Comms Open @abyssgrant.bsky.social · 6h

Hi everyone ✨Happy #PortfolioDay!

I'm Grant, or ABG. I'm a Freelance Fantasy Illustrator from South Africa.

My dream is to one day work with Darrington Press and WoTC.

linktr.ee/abyssgrant #ABG_Art

COMM:
4 tarot inspired illustrations featuring 4 villains in a ttrpg campaign.

The Gored:
1/7 A beautiful, pale elf woman with fit muscles and a white and gold ornamental dress. Blood flows behind her with ancient carvings depicting sacrifice and power is seen on the stone decorations.

The Oracle:
2/7 A powerful wizard in intricate blue and gold robes. He has a chest piece in the shape of a phoenix. There is a space/time theme and within his staff and robes glows a cosmic phoenix. In the foreground are his thralls.

The Maw:
3/7 A dark-skinned warrior with long hair wearing a shattered crown made of obsidian. He wears a long brown cloak over black and red armor. A cloth covers what seems to be teeth like decorations on the armor. Behind him, a demon wearing the same armor but wearing a red Oni-like mask has him by the throat. The scene is cracked behind him.

The Doombringer:
4/7 The goliath suit of armor of a long dead king reanimated to avenge his fallen kingdom. The armor has mongolian inspired features with a long, red trail of hair from the top of the helmet. There's a crown of aquamarine fire around the full iron faced helmet. The souls of his fallen people bind the armor together represented by ghostly hands spreading out from the cloak and in between the armor pieces. In his right hand is a massive great axe made of ghostly white energy. The armor steps through a battlefield of enemies felled by his hand, looking like they've been sucked of their life energy. Behind the Doombringer is a collapsing tower also filled with ghostly energy, and two hands are reaching towards him beside the tower.

#Characters by english-frog@bsky.social

Thimble, Character by Laura Bailey for Critical Role C4
Digital Fanart
A broad smiling female pixie flies slightly above a bar table looking up at the camera. She has her hands behind her back and head tilted mischievously. A slight glint of her needle sword is seen behind her.

Neith, Opener of Ways
Digital Art 2025

She's a dark, towering figure, all long limbs and flowing robes. Horns like a crown burst from her head, emerging from inky hair that trails off into nothingness. She has multiple, spider-like eyes, strikingly pale against her oil-slick skin. She has a gaping maw revealed under the robes with sharp, white teeth. She looks larger than life and strikingly inhuman.

In front of her is another character curled up and floating in a serene state.

The entire image has an oil sheen motif and inky oil features.

Commissioned on Tumblr

Mage 2
Digital Art 2024

Commission for SpeedRobo Games

A bright, frilly dressed young woman with pink hair smiles up towards the camera while pointing a magical staff. Power emanates around her and enchants a giant T-Rex made out of colorful blocks. She looks joyful and happy.

Happy #PortfolioDay

I'm just a Dan who is sharing what I draw with pens and paper on my personal art journey. Art is what I do to process my feelings about and escape from the world for a bit in the evenings and on weekends.

Pen drawing of a ghostly upper torso, neck, head and shoulders of a bald human emerging from a mass of organic shapes that suggest organs, musculature, veins and other structures. Facing left it is looking with solid white eyes and a third eye towards an area of alien writing and shapes in white on a black background next to what appears to the left half of a viewer facing grey style alien being in an embryonic pose in a container and hooked up to wires and is propped up by the same structure of the background

Pen drawing that is mostly black and white focused on a humanoid figure with many different organic growths coming out of their back that contain eyes, while the upper part of their face is covered by a solid plate that has the skin of the lower part of the face connected to it by rivets. The rest of their body is covered by strange techno-organic growths and in the background is another figure reclining and holding their hands above their head into the arched walls that frame the scene. The surrounding area makes an oval portal like shape that filled with a yellowish hue and a number of orange ringed elongated eye like shapes with white centers with black filaments.

Pen drawing with the main element being a serpentine figure with vaguely feminine human features and a spiral shell like structure on the head, leaning from the right with large black eyes and a body covered with various bony growths like armor down it's back, kneeling on an uneven stone floor. One arm with a couple of large claws is slightly pointed at another figure is visible just below a large obsidian stylized skull pendant. The other figure is standing, holding a flowing robe at the waist, but has a smooth stone face but is otherwise human. In the background, lounging on the ground or on a pillar amount he strange organic shapes while in the background are stone structures that appear to be a temple like complex with a large circular structure that looks to be plugged into the large stylized skulls below it.

Pen drawing of a stylized, thin, feminine figure with a face that is just a black void with three white orbs sitting cross-legged in tattered black gown floating under an arch surrounded by runes and vegetation. They are floating amoung ruins flanked by a winged figures with bodies made of starry sky with smaller beings with animal skull type heads in black robes in the foreground of the floating figure. The wings of the crouching figures are in front of organiseh-yellow portals in the blue and purple sky while a feline humanoid figure slinks in from the right in the foreground.

The one on the left shows the figures lying down on the dark ground as they gaze longingly at one another.

An illustration of my original character, Bhargavi. She is standing in the middle of a pond with a brown wall and two pillars behind, with some greenery around. She has brown skin and long red hair with glowing orange/golden ends. She is wearing a golden armour around her neck and golden vambraces on each arm. She is wearing a sleeveless red top that reveals her smotach and long red pants. She is looking down and has one foot out of the water, while holding on to some of the longer shinier layers of her pants that have appeared to be drenched as they’ve soaked up too much water. There is a strong golden light shining down on her from above.

A fanart illustration of Clair Obscur. There is a giant frame with Verso looking at and reaching out to Alicia from his side, while Alicia, is looking at him and reaching to Verso, standing outside of the frame. With sunlight shining down only on Alicia and a bit on Verso. The top half of Alicia, where the sunlight is shining down on her, depicts her with white hair, while in the shadows, her hair is drawn closer to red. Red and white petals surround the scene.

A portrait illustration of my original character, Megaera, showcases her distinctive features. She has brown skin, striking amber eyes, and white hair with black highlights. Her ears are slightly pointed, and she bears a scar on her right nose, jaw, and neck. The illustration presents two versions: one with her hair flowing down past her shoulders and the other with her hair neatly tied up in a high ponytail. The background is just a plain white with a small chibi of her winking in the bottom right corner.

An illustration of my original character, Aleron. He is an elf with long dark blue hair with glowing cyan ends tied up in a high ponytail. He has fair skin, green (left) and blue (right) eyes and is wearing a blue long-sleeved robe with silver armour and vambraces. He is looking down at the viewer with a solemn expression and is holding a large silver shield in this left hand. Golden sunlight is shining down on this face and behind him are large metal spikes indicating he's in a battlefield.
