Hi #portfolioday,

I'm Ren, A character and prop designer coming off 8+ years in animation looking to break into the TTRPG, game, and comic book industries!

My style is highly variable and I love the challenge of learning new ones!

Digital art. A study of Daphnis et Chloe by painter Camille-Felix Belanger. It features a tall woman with horns kneeling at the side of another woman sitting on a stone bench with her arms draped over the kneeling woman's shoulders. They look into one another's eyes deeply, lovingly. It is Josephine and the Inquisitor from Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Digital art. A character sheet for an elven player character from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. They are tanned, short in stature and athletic in build. There is an example of their regular outfit as well as facial expressions and a hint of their firey personality, and flat designs of their tattoos.

Digital art. A character sheet of Charo Tiber, a tiefling cleric player character from Baldur's Gate 3. She has soft curves and wide hips, purple skin and two small curved horns capped in gold accessories. She wears three outfits, each showing off her feminine clothing preferences and an assortment of her daily items and accessories.

Digital art. A simplistic rendering of Moonrise Tower from Baldur's Gate 3. It is moody and dark save for the illumination at the bridge.

Thank you so much! 💚 Any excuse to draw biblically accurate sharks.

Sockie 🦈✨ @sockie.bsky.social · 10h

Thank you!! Haha biblically accurate was my first thought when I saw the prompt, but knowing how sweet angel sharks are I hoped it wouldn't be TOO freaky 😌

I don't think motivating people to move to other platforms to avoid the stupid censorship rules is a good solution. Quite the opposite. There is NO SAFE space for artists nowadays, if we don't fight back this will only get worse and worse

Sounds like some good old-fashioned burnout. 🫴💚 I'm not gonna forget you but you deserve to lay in the ground and rot gently for a while, if that's what you need. Be kind to yourself, yeah?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.
