Hi #PortfolioDay
I'm Alex, i do concept art for games but my heart lies in illustration and traditional media, particularly ink!

I love nature, fantasy and symbolism, and it usually shows on my work.

I'm open for commercial & private commissions, let's talk 🙌

A skeleton wearing a crown and holding a staff, mostly covered by overgrown weeds taking over the whole image. The skeleton is placed in what looks like ancient ruins also covered in weeds

A dragon listening to the lullaby a much smaller character, human looking, is playing on a string instrument

Plants. There's a text that says "There is no need for something to happen"

Plants. There's a veriety of insects hiding in leafs, flying, etc

Just woke up from a social media pause and the first thing I see is an incredible footage of a sperm whale casually cruising with a giant squid in its mouth ??

Tiny sketchbook sketch dump up on Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/136183...

A black and white ink drawing of a woman in a long gown pulling down a veil over her head. The drawing is, height-wise, shorter than the length of the pen used to ink it.

The mom was rescued near a coffee shop, hence the name! And we named most of their puppies with coffee realted names as well haha There was Espresso, Tacita (Little cup), Frappé, Yodito (that's how people refer to cups of coffee in Costa Rica) and so on 😂 they all have new names now tho

There will probable be guest appearances as guell because my mom adopted one, and so did my sister and my grandma! Not the best pic but here they are in a family reunion!

Alex Chacón 🔜 Lightbox Expo 502 @avantaron.bsky.social · Aug 3

We adopted one of the puppies, and named her Maya. (Here she's enjoying the sun with Kiwi). There will probably be a continuation of the sketch series as she grows up 🙌🏽

Some good sketches, some not that good but a good record of the experience nonetheless 😌

A sketch of a laying puppy, taking a nap. There's also a close up of a paw

Ink sketch of two dogs napping with a pair of sandals the puppy snatched earlier. It has some details in pink marker.

Studies of a puppy, there's also an sketch of a branch on the top right border of the page

Earlier in the year my partner and I fostered Latte and her puppies, they are all in forever homes with lovely people now and i have a few sketches done during that time

An ink drawing of a tree. Its foliage is almost fully tilted to the left, it has a side note "12:00 MD - Latte is on labor" and the date of that day "March 30th, 2025 at La Perla"

Came to my attention there's a scammer account impersonating mine, seems to be resolved now or at least i can't find it anymore on my end but just in case my username and url is "avantaron" with an "o", not a "0". Stay safe out there, don't doom scroll too much and remember to drink water! 🙌

heads-up - this reply in the screenshot below is from a scammer impersonating @avantaron.bsky.social with a similar but different @ - please do not send them anything
