Happy #portfolioday ! Made sure not to miss this one!
I'm Justin, based in The Philippines, and I do traditional and digital art.
You may see me posting plenty of graphite sketches here regularly, as well as WIPS, in between my finished pieces. 🎨

Underspace Vacation - Two astronauts floating in a deep underwater chasm. They are facing each other in a beam of light as the dark seafloor reaches up from beneath them.

Steiner and Vivi, Clothes Swap - Final Fantasy IX's Steiner and Vivi wearing each other's outfits, and switching roles. We see Vivi as an awkward and clunky knight, learning to carry himself in oversized armor, and Steiner as an excited and proud new black mage, who is also a little undertrained.

Also, an added Bobby Corwen chocobo feather in Vivi's helmet.

Mind Palace - An upside down, three-eyed skull floats in a void. A green castle is growing from its teeth, in the opposite direction.

DTIYS entry of a half wood elf druid.

@Kaynaaart's half wood elf druid, Amatae, drinking an enchanted coffee in a café, joined by a pair of mischievous faeries. She is leaning forward on her elbows, holding a cup of coffee, with blue light emanating from it and glowing on her face. A faerie is dipping her foot into another cup of coffee, and drawing a shape in the foam. One other faerie holds onto a red lantern, just to the left of Amatae, providing extra light.

A small scorpoion confronts a giant spider. He is holding a special sword, and light in a bottle banging from his tail illuminates the entire place.

A pair of walking brooms from The Sorceror's Apprentice, enchanted to life to carry buckets of water by Mickey Mouse. One is walking down the stairs in the back, casting a sharp shadow on the wall behind him.

Haha For me I like dark background/white text on screen, opposite on pages. It's so much easier on my eyes

I'll share some of my #inktober pieces, and a digital!

A monstrous sandwich skewered by a spear, topped with a skull. An arm sticks out from the sandwich's mouth, right next to its tongue.

A starfish perches atop a running showerhead with a knife in hand, ready to attack.

A human heart lays in the basket of scales, weighed against a black feather.

Underspace Vacation - Two astronauts float above a deep dark chasm underwater. They reach out to each other in a beam of light, as the dark seafloor stretches towards them.

For real I'm very grateful for when there are gentle rains that just cool everything down for a day or more. Much needed!
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

JABart(Justin) @juicebars.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you for the kind words and thoughts on the pieces! 🙏 I actually had a difficult time knowing how to get the hatching done with the heart, so it was all very edge of my seat work with the rendering of it. I'm very glad how it turned out, and that you like it and the others!
