Nate @nittroy.bsky.social · Oct 17

[📌🧵] Hi, I'm Nate! I'm a UX/UI designer and concept artist, and in my spare time I'm slowly working on an illustrated story about queer scientists searching for anomalies of nature!

✨ All my links: nittroylinks.carrd.co
✨ Gallery: cara.app/nittroy
✨ My designer portfolio: www.behance.net/natekhrom

The vertical drawing prepared to be a page of the zine. It shows two people in the middle of a field of flowers. One of them, Vega, a well-built person with dark short hair, is standing and looking anxiously at the sky. She extends her hand to the second person, Elliot. They are a pale white person with long limbs, sitting in the flowers, with their hands down, carefully holding one as they look at it closely. The flowers are all purple. Their leaves are teal green. In the background there's a green valley, on one side there's a lonely building that looks very technologically advanced, probably a station. In the sky, which is also of light purple tones, the spaceships are flying low, leaving a trail behind them.

A vertical illustration showing two characters. One of them, Kayleigh (he/they/she) isa young child of about 12 or 13, with shoulder-length curly hair and dark eyes. The other is Lyx (they/them), an ethereal being who vaguely resembles Kayleigh, but is not human and consists of purple-ish smoke. It looks as if they are dancing together, Lyx holding Kay’s hands. There are some blue flowers around them. The text in the drawing says 'Something cosmic - it's symbiotic'. These are lyrics from Starset's song 'Symbyotic'.

A vertical illustration showing the moment when two characters meet for the first time. The composition is from a down to up angle. In the foreground, Kayleigh, a 12-year-old child, stands holding a small, transparent, phone-shaped device. They look up as another kid, Niquole, sits on the top of a large wooden crate nearby. She is an albino child wearing large round glasses. She looks down from her perch, as the crate is slightly taller then Kayleigh. In the background are 10-12 storey high shabby but inhabited buildings. The sky is red, so the buildings look red in its light.

A vertical drawing by Nittroy of their OC. It depicts a scene in which a tall, androgynous person is stepping down from a high point on a ladder. They are Kayleigh (any pronouns), and they are wearing a long blue skirt that flutters backwards in the wind. They are also wearing a cropped jacket with long pieces hanging down their back that look like transparent wings. She looks askance right into the camera. She is holding a cigarette that is emitting blue smoke.

At the bottom of the ladder is a small stairwell with a door. The door is slightly open and bit of a space behind it is visible, glowing blue. Blue flower veins spread across the floor as if there is not enough space in the room and the flower mass is ever-growing, coming outside with even a slight opening.

In front of a door, as if guarding it, a masculine person stands; his name is Benji (he/they) and he is inhornian (marble horned person) with pale white-blue skin and hair. He is looking at Kayleigh, his light eyes showing some sort of distrust and yearning.

Since I talked about GOR yesterday, here's a #repostober of another character from the same book, because I love this mad (but very calm about it) wizard-scientist.

Fun fact: the pic on the right is the first art I did for GOR's development, and it features the same character!

#ocsky #fantasy #ocart #fantasyart #lotr #ocsky

A colored drawing of a Tolkien elf man named Daerhovan in a snowy forest in front of a purple sunset. He's looking back longingly towards his friend, a brown spotted lynx named Verya who is standing on a hill behind him. Daerhovan has long black hair, light tan skin, and bright green eyes. He is wearing a green and brown outfit with a green scarf and is holding a wooden staff.

Daerhovan and Verya are characters created in Lord of the Rings Online. They belong to Rohavon on Tumblr and DeviantArt.

my full piece for the 2025 Object Head Zine 🏴‍☠️ || #art

A very colorful illustration featuring two characters with objects for heads. One is a pirate with an anchor for a head and lots of seaweed hair under her big blue captain's hat. The other is a mermaid with a pearl for a head, with a shimmering white body and long purple hair. The pirate stands atop an open, overflowing treasure chest and brandishes a sword in the air. The mermaid is wrapped around her leg like an old pulp novel cover. There is some text in the orange and blue background that reads: YO HO HO.

Commissioned fullbody illustration of an elf wizard. He looks like a young man with dark purple skin, long ears, and white hair. His face has white star-like markings. He's dressed in golden, navy, and teal clothes with a celestial motif. Next to him is a fennec fox with black and white fur.

Commission art with a wonderful strong lady ✨️
Thank you for support!

The image depicts a character in a dramatic, stylized art design with a predominance of red and black tones.

The central figure is a female warrior standing in a confident pose. She has pale skin, short dark blue or black hair with blue highlights, and bright makeup. She is dressed in rich, decorative armor and clothing that combines elements of military and royal style—a red cloak, gold patterns on her armor and boots. She has belts and decorations on her waist.

In her right hand, she holds a large dark weapon with a curved, almost organic design. With her left hand, she clenches her fist at her chest.

The background is rendered in bright red and black tones, with flags, swords, circles, and rays creating a halo around the character's head. Silhouettes of swords, banners, and flying birds are visible in the background.

Horned Shinobi #art #BRart #ocsky

he image features a cartoon character with striking features. The character has sandy-brown, texturized hair adorned with two long, pointed, light-brown horns, complemented by an orange-plumed hat and matching eye guards. Their red claws are adorned with red gemstones on two of the finger knuckles of each hand, adding a pop of color.

The character's facial features include large, pointed ears and fabrics draping over their nose and mouth. The character assumes a dynamic combat stance, with the character gripping a long, beige sword beneath their left arm. They are dressed in a flowing black fabric overtop as if they are kneeling.

The background of the image is a gradient of dark and bright pink hues. A purplish background is seen on the several shades of the pink. This backdrop is partially overshadowed by a patch of gloom, suggesting some form of artificial light, possibly emanating from a digital screen.

The overall atmosphere and style of the image suggest that it may have been created by an amateur cartoonist and or even a fan. This could be because of the deliberate shading or textures, as well as the style of clothing.

Also, fun little details about this feature!
Basically, by establishing a connection with a cctv camera system, Niners' main visual module, aka his actual eyes, is on stand-by while the cameras act as his "new" eyes
(1/4)

🦇🖤🗿Scare-dinal Gray 😼🖤🦇 • comms in progress 🇺🇦 @cardinalgray.bsky.social · 6d

Niners tapping into the CCTV camera system directly is such a big brain concept that it has got me in an iron grip so, naturally, I had to doodle a scene around that

[ #OC #OriginalCharacter #Niners #DCM #DontCryMercy #robot #android #sketch #Art #OcSky #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a sketch of Niners tapped into a CCTV camera system. his eyes are focused, however, not on any physical object in front of him - the pupil is bigger than usual, a ring around the pupil is so much more dilated, almost reaching the edge of the iris.
he's leaning forward slightly, mouth open a little as he's responding to Nico.

the text on the sketch reads:
"So? See anything, big guy?" (Nico)
"Not yet, no, Detective. The sheer amount of CCTV cameras here impairs the adjustment of my vision." (Niners)

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.

#OCs #art

Reference sheet of Marth (short from Marthel) the Keeper, any pronous. Marth is a very tall human (due to becoming a Keeper) about 2,3 m of height. They have short and spiky white hair, greenish eyes and a mask that conceals half of the face. The visible part of his face seems to be scarred. Marth wears special operative clothes with gloves, a high neck piece and sometimes with a white cloack on top. They have a very disgruntled look about them

Day 1: New OC
That would be Claude (they/she)— they’re the one with the apron + orange shirt! I’m still developing them, but they’re a jaded and sort of snarky artist. They’re affiliated with Marlene and Arsenius‘s assassins group 👁️

Art of Nicola (in green) and Claude (in yellow), the personifications of nickel and cadmium respectively. Nicola is looking worriedly at Claude, who’s turned away from her. She’s holding a phone, displaying a “are you there?” text that’s left on read. The background is green with orange and red splatters. The text reads “I don’t know what you were waiting for, you know that I’ve been waiting for you.”

The web is a matrix that channels energy towards its center. Typically, spells will be inscribed along the web to affect a purpose to it, but a blank web can simply be used to charge energy into a person, typically with the purpose of facilitating healing.

A drawing of a typical orbweaver web, concentric circles converging towards a person in the middle. You can see magic accumulating towards the center of the web in the form of small sparkles.
