Hi #PortfolioDay ! ✨

I'm Nika, an illustrator based in the Netherlands, and I paint stylized (often fantasy) characters and enjoy working with strong color identity. I've lately been intrigued by art for books and murder mystery narratives!

/Destiny brings together the strangest of people.../

Probably my most ambitious group piece yet, just based on pure numbers - likely the only one I'll do for this campaign, oof -- 13 is a lot, folks!!!
(As usual the designs have my own vague spin on them 🫶)

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart

Digital Illustration of all 13 player characters from Critical Role Campaign four. They are all rendered in a sketchy line style and coloured in reds, blues and greens.

I'm a broken record, but I'm such a fan of your specific combo of muted earthy colors and your creamy brushwork 🔥

La belle dame sans merci by Frank Bernard Dicksee version of Hans and Henry from Kingdom Come Deliverance

Illustration showing the characters from my book Niketas and Ulvar, but mermaid AU where Niketas is a merman. They are both underwater and Ulvar is dying.

Illustration of a boy in a dark, spooky, nordic forest. The boy's eyes are blurred. Naked tall trees, their branches almost stretching towards him, towering him. A faint shape of a bird in the upper left corner. There are a few lights of eyes in the forest, watching him.

An easter witch flying on a broom towards Blåkulla, a cat is standing on it as well. Both have glowing yellow eyes, staring into the camera. Birds are flying around them.

Well put! I've genuinely been training myself to better tolerate the discomfort that comes with creating again, I think sometimes that skill gets lost in pursuit of the goalpost.

I don’t think confidence comes purely from having skills. I also think it has a lot to do with your mindset.

I remember having the same feeling when I first started to color lineart, it's sooo satisfying!
