ABG - November Comms Open @abyssgrant.bsky.social · Jul 8

Hi everyone ✨Happy Portfolio Day!

I'm Grant, or ABG. I'm a Freelance Fantasy Illustrator from South Africa. My dream is to one day work with Darrington Press and WoTC.

COMM:
3 tarot inspired illustrations featuring 3 villains in a ttrpg campaign.

The Gored: A beautiful, pale elf woman with fit muscles and a white and gold ornamental dress. Blood flows behind her with ancient carvings depicting sacrifice and power is seen on the stone decorations.

The Oracle: A powerful wizard in intricate blue and gold robes. He has a chest piece in the shape of a phoenix. There is a space/time theme and within his staff and robes glows a cosmic phoenix. In the foreground are his thralls.

The Maw: A dark-skinned warrior with long hair wearing a shattered crown made of obsidian. He wears a long brown cloak over black and red armor. A cloth covers what seems to be teeth like decorations on the armor. Behind him, a demon wearing the same armor but wearing a red Oni-like mask has him by the throat. The scene is cracked behind him.

???: A WIP of the next one I'm working on. A lumbering figure approaches with ghostly teal aspects.

#Characters by english-frog@bsky.social

Orym
Digital Art of Orym, a character from Critical Role C3. He's a halfling and has mid length hair. He is enshrouded by a bright red light and is on his haunches in a solitary abyss. His expression shows determination but also a bit of concern.

Digital art of Imogen Temult from Critical Role C3. Character by Laura Bailey. A purple-haired, woman is shown casting powerful magic as lighting and stormy magic surges around her. Her eyes and hair glow with a purple hue and she looks determined.

Commission - Adinah
Digital illustration of a female character with brown/blonde hair in suit pants and rolled up shirt. She is standing in a vignette of a tundra surrounded by broken and cracking ice. In the ice is a slight image of a FBI Bullpen where she is in reality. She has supernatural powers of reading the history of objects she touches, represented by threads connecting her and the item.

I can't explain how frustrating it is knowing what I need to do and wanting to do it.

But it just feels like I'm fighting so hard against my brain to allow me to do it.

Hopefully I can be diagnosed soon and things change. I really need it to change.

The texture!! 😍

ABG - November Comms Open @abyssgrant.bsky.social · 4d

artists, how do you draw hair??

I'm in a weird place where I want to do more stylized and simple hair but I have a love/hate relationship with rendering hair.

And of course I will not be taking any of my characters that I've been wanting to play for years and instead making a brand new one 😂

ABG - November Comms Open @abyssgrant.bsky.social · 8d

I was invited to play in a longer term, in-person DND campaign.

My excitement is unmeasurable.

It's my birthday today! 🎉As an artist nothing could make me happier than my art reaching more people. Could you help me out? (:

A painting of Melinoë, the main character of the game Hades 2. She is wielding a bloodied sickle weapon on a magical background with a green spell

Pleona, the goddess of fortune and greed. She is piercing her hand with a dagger and a human heart. Behind her is an altar made of golden hands and what seems to be a vault filled with gold.

Chen-Xing wielding her fire powers with a purple dragon in the background. She is standing fiercely with her armor. Her dark purple hair is waving in the wind and she is standing in a temple, high up in the skies.

Ohhh Fall colours. Happy Fall 🍂🍁🎃

Archdruid Keyleth 2023

Digital art of Keyleth of Vox Machina during the end ritual of her Aramenté to become an Archduid of the Ashari.

She has short hair, and a full antler headdress. She wears a long flowing white robe and her mantle of leaves on her back. In her hands is a gnarled yet beautiful looking staff, and a single crow feather held to her chin.

The background shows a sunset high up on the mountains of the Air Ashari and a field of pink petals fly through the air on the wind.

Vax and Keyleth
Vox Machina (Critical Role) characters Vax'ildan and Keyleth get close in an almost kiss. The fireplace and moonlight contrasting the scene in a magical glow.

Thimble, Character by Laura Bailey for Critical Role C4
Digital Fanart
A broad smiling female pixie flies slightly above a bar table looking up at the camera. She has her hands behind her back and head tilted mischievously. A slight glint of her needle sword is seen behind her.

DTIYS for Ewylana.

A woman with dark hair and a flowing red robe holds a chess piece in her hand. She has gold jewelry all over her body.
