I see it is #portfolioday and I need a new pinned post!

  Hello, I am Dread! I primarily do art as a hobby but have done some freelance petsite work as well.   

Nowadays I tend focus mostly on DND and fantasy, but you may occasionally find some paleoart when the mood hits!

A colored image of 3 women standing on a glowing pink and blue magic circle. The woman on viewer left is a water elf with dark blue skin, a black robe with seaglass embellishments, and waves for hair. She is leaping back while holding a halberd. The woman in the middle is an elf with midtone skin, wearing a large ruffled green skirt and a silver chain shirt. She holds two swords, a plain rapier and the other a glowing magic sword. She is stepping back, wears a veil that partially reveals her face to have pupilless golden eyes and yellow curled antennae. The woman on viewer right is a tall and muscular fighter wielding a large back sword. She has midtone skin and dark, long curly hair. Her armor is worn. All three figures are being attacked by magic chains, and underlit by blues and pinks. In the background a man kneels as if in prayer with his own set of chains reaching for him, while a dark magic doorway opens behind him.

A colored illustration based on the painting la belle dame sans merci by Francis Dicksee. A dark skinned princess with crystalline hair sits atop a purple pegasus with two unicorn horns. The pegasus is decorated with roses, while the princess reaches down to a female knight who looks up to her with awe.The knight wears blue and gold armor, and they all walk through a field of flowers.

A colored image of a grey bearded dragon with a hoard of gold and treasure. He has a pleased expression and holds a staff. He is seen within a gold frame with jewel decorations.

An image for 4 skeletal fantasy creatures with flame, volcanic and crystal accents. The creatures represented are based on a deer, a large cat, a winged rabbit and a beaver/capybara. There is a label for the petsite Tattered World in the lower right corner.

Drawing of Rumi and Mira from KPop Demon Hunters. Rumi is standing over/behind Mira protectively, patterns glowing magenta, and spectral horns appearing on her forehead. She is yelling, "BACK OFF" while they are surrounded by demons. Meanwhile, a bewildered Mira is looking at her from the floor, bleeding from the forehead.

Half elven character, Oriana, sits with wings framing around her. A glove hand is to her cheek and her other, prosthetic arm with panteras draw. A pseudo-dragon sits in the palm of this hand, looking impish. A starry sky sits behind our fave barbarian princess.

It's #faeandelvensecretsatan2025 time! I snagged @eerivee.bsky.social which means Ariste is not safe from me. Art upon ye and your drow!

Full body illustration depicting a male drow sitting on a stone bench covered in moss and glowing mushrooms. He has his white hair pulled into a messy ponytail with with wavy bangs, fly aways, and braids framing his face. His spectral hand is strumming the strings of a lyre while the other holds it steady in his lap. A fountain is pouring water down behind him in various streams with a little pseudo dragon napping up above. The rest of the background is comprised of various white flowers, mushrooms, and large flora leaves. A few fairy motes hang by his head to help illuminate his face.

They are wearing black clothes with a blue one dragging to the side and turning into waves. There are many needles and they have stiches in their body. The floor is made of waves. Demonic hands are holding the hair.

I got to participate in an art exchange and drew beautiful character for archaickosmonot (tumblr). It was so hard to choose between so many amazing characters, but eventually I settled on Elmyra- she's so pretty and I love characters who wants to protect the weak! #faeandelvensecretsatan2025

Realized this piece is the perfect fit for this template.

Art meme showcasing a scribbled circle on the top left which says just make it exist first, with a messy sketch of a scene to the right.
Bottom right reads you can make it good later with a perfect circle, and to the right the same scene but fully rendered and colored of a crowd in a cathedral with backs to the viewers, with dragons rushing in and a hooded figure raising a scythe at a terrified priest.

Divine Boar tossing these dragons around like ragdolls!

Dread @dreaddonut.bsky.social · Aug 23

We were surprised by a few new, unwelcome guests to the Kings funeral in DnD- the Pillar of Nerull and his pet shadow dragons, as well as a life draining curse originating from the Kings dead body and aimed at all his descendants (even the babies!) We are working to save them all!

a long cathedral filled with people, with their backs turned towards the viewer and instead towards a coffin. Stained glass lights the back of the room where a hooded figure has burst in, scythe raised towards a terrified priest. 3 dark dragons run down the stairs to the crowd as dark magic starts to burst from the coffin.
