I've never got traction here from it. Or from any other method of posting. Twitter was where I got all my work. If it wasnt for the nazi problem there, I'd go back in an instant. Ffs

Hello #PortfolioDay !

I'm Zoe, a fantasy illustrator from Italy, looking for more work on book illustrations, as well as TTRPGs and games!

I'm available for both commercial and private commissions.

Find me here:

We’re in a pleasant forest setting, with lots of greenery and the sun peeking through the canopy. We see tree houses made of natural materials on the trees.
A young, dark skinned elf is running madly towards the camera, laughing. He’s holding a chicken under one arm and a rope strung with strange berries in the other hand. A whole flock of chickens is following him, apparently crazy about the berries.
The chaotic scene is being watched by two shocked bystanders.

A ladybug clad in an armor made of leaves and flower petals stands on a large white flower. They’re wielding magic wands, a spellbook and a shield made out of a seed husk. White war paint adorns their face and shield. They are casting fire spells against a horde of wasps.

Evithorir, painted for Critical Role by Zoe Badini.

Evithorir is described as an elven figure perpetually shrouded in shadows. Its face is pale gray, its skin is pulled tight against bone. Its teeth are crooked and elongated and its eyes glow.

In this scene it stands in front of a large glowing green crystal pillar, surrounded by black and greenish flames. Its body flows and disappears into the shadows. Its hands are lifted at its sides, casting more dark shadows.
Hidden and trapped inside its chest we can glimpse a reddish emaciated figure.

Scream, painted for the 2024 Upper Deck Fleer Ultra Matriarchs of Marvel set.
A monstrous, tentacled figure emerges from the mist. She has large milky eyes, a wide mouth full of sharp teeth and a long extended tongue.

Hi everyone! I'm Sam, freelancer and illustrator on a variety of Warhammer tabletop roleplaying games. Here's a tiny slice of what I do:

Voll Adventures cover for Imperium Maledictum - a Vigilite interrogates a cultist at the site of a massacre, while our heroes prepare to intervene!

An Ash Drake ambushes a rather overmatched Chaos warband.

Aeldari factions combine forces against a horde of Orks in this cover illustration for Aeldari - Inheritance of Embers for Wrath & Glory.

I'm Rob, an illustrator, designer, and writer from the UK. With a background in graphic design, I now spend my time drawing spaceships, robots, and other strange stuff - either for myself or for indie games and publishers.

My illustration, ISO Grid. 16 isometric illustrations of various little buildings. From a sci-fi noodle bar, to a Venetian palazzo.

People do like to hang on. Nothing is forever though. And seeing so many places implode shortly after joining, I have no problem now moving on. Socials are like pubs maybe, with a different vibe each time. I'd never frequent a nazi pub hence never going back to twitter.

Candra Hope @candrahope.bsky.social · 1d

Definitely. I left pretty much under the same circumstances. Wall to wall bots and spam and no traction. And I think its the same for everyone not just small fry, so I don't get why people stay... Maybe we're selfish lol xx

Artists who still uses Twitter, is it worth it? Is it worth the psychic damages you get over there?

This is a genuine question cause I can't see a single reason as to why anyone would ssubject themselves to that unless it still brings a few clients

I remember everyone talking about how terrible twitter became and that they were leaving, and seeing quite a few of the same voices still talking about using twitter. I think a lot of people make a lot of noise but don't follow that through in their actions. Human nature and all that 🤗🤗

New Art

This was inspired by the tv show Chapelwaite which was in turn inspired by Stephen King's short story Jerusalem's Lot which was included in the 2005 edition of his novel Salem's Lot. I'll include some close ups in the comments.

If the Greens in Scotland offered independence I'd vote for them in an instant. The only reason I keep voting SNP is because there's no point having a greener country if we're limited by our neighbours in what we can do xx
