Hi #portfolioday I'm Charlie 'Newt' Borovský and I love folklore & tormenting characters.

Got a lot of stuff as NDAs still but I have experience in TTRPGs + Book Covers / Interiors + Concept Art for animation & games.

Booking for Spring

a digifal illustration depicting a sunlit forest clearing on which a ruined fort stands. its built of white stone with ivy slowly overtaking it a d through out the image, there are a few goblins scattered, patrolling the grounds. the one we see most clearly, on the foreground carries a spear and a grin on his face. three painted portraits side by side: 1- portrait of a brown haired pale man done in the style of an old looking oil painting. it is contained on a thin oval frame a d lit by a single point above. it shows a man wringing out his hands on a dirty rag. he is dressed in a worn white shirt, daek waiscoat and a pale yellow necktie. his hair is falling loosely around his face in a messy ponytail and gis face bears marks of decay. his eyes are glazed over like eyes of a corpse and he has the look of tightly concealed anguish on his face. 2- Digital painting of a pale, thin looking dark haired young man with a sad, contemplative expression, staring somewhere into space to the side. He's wearing early late georgian attire- white shirt, yellow cravate and a dark coat. His hair is chin-lenght and wind -toussled. His eyes are a very pale blue and he has small, dark lips with a prominent cupids bow. His nose is larghe, hooked at the end and thin and his eyes are big and downturned with heavy lids. The painting is done in a loose painterly style, the background is a pale yellow and the portrait rests inside an ovel shape, with a dark grey colour being around it. At the bottom there are a few inscriptions reading: "Andrei Croft", "England 1835", and in cursive in the middle there is a Like 12:2 quote in latin. 3-portrait painting of a dark skinned older woman with white hair and pearl earrings. she is wearing a victorian style green blouse embridered with flowers and is smirking slightly while staring at the viewer head on. two illustrations next to eachother: 1- digital illustration on black background depicting a few different scenes. The character shown are a soft-faced nun (Catherine) and a larger, more androgynous figure with straw colored hair (Nikola). The top image shows them standing in front a of a small church, with autumn coloured nature around and a pile of debris burning to the side, smoke rising from it. Below that, there is a drawing of Nikky with blood ont heir face, and a second one showing it being cleaned off by Catherine. On the left there id a drawing that shows Nikky kneeling, hunched on the ground, blood splatter clothing, with Catherine standing tall above her, watching. And ont he right side there is a drawing of the two in profile. Catherine is golding up Niklky's chin with two delicate fingers and Nikky is kneeling on their heels and is lookign up with a set jaw. 2- a digital illustration of a hunched-over figure ont heir hands and knees with a dark background. The figure has blonde hair and a long tan trenchcoat. their face is fully obscured as they bend over a splatter of blood ont he floor, pushing themselves up on clawed pale hands. Above the figure, there is a drawing of a clawed red hand holding a the same pale figure curled up in its palm. Viscous liquid dripping down from it. At the top of the page, there are two beige-coloured hounds curling in on themselves in agonised positions. One is curling forward with its tongue curling out and the other is biting at its own side. There are three small paragraphs of text in red ink and a typewriter style font reading: "A Thing, touched by the hand of the beast", "Something rotting, marked, wretched, coiling and writhing behind each of their ribs", "Planted there by the ichor-slick-black-dripping hand of the Devil" four illustrations side by side: 1-digital illustration of a witchy woman under a full moon holding a skull. she is wearing a loose dress, trinket jewelery, her skin is dark, reflecting the blue hues of the sky and her hair is in dreadlocks. 2- a painting showing a crazed village woman mid-transformation into a corvid demon. the light from the moon is red and she is levitating in a corn field, her body contorting and a crazed smile adorning her face. 3-a digital painting of a young girl in viking-style dress, sorrounded by a fluttering group of crows. The background is a foggy, cold, branble area of sorts with dried grass at her feet and her dress is a muted jean-blue. She has a woven belt, a pouch hanging off it and a fur cloak around her shoulders. there is some viking style brass jewelery around her neck. Her hair is blonde , tied back and she has short bangs. There is a determined exúression on her face and her fists are clenched as if getting ready to stand her ground. At the bottom of the page, there is a copyright bar reading: © Studio Agate 2025, Shadows of Esteren: Dearg 2, Charlie "Newt" Borovský 2023 @EyeOfTheNewt 4-A thin vertical illustration in an Art Nouveau poster style depicting a small man in a paired dance with a dark horned figure. The devil is clad in flowing fabrics and furs, his skin dark grey. He is tipping the smaller man back, one hand supporting at the small of his back and the other intertwined with the other's fingers. Andrei is wearing a short with billowy sleeves, a green west and tightly fitting pants with white socks and fancy shoes. He has a shocked expression on his face as he's being tipped back and his medium lenght dark brown hair falls freely. The background is made of intricate decorative designs and the text on top says: Saltiato Cum Diabolo.

thanks!
yeah im mostly trying to say something early so if anyone was having any wrong ideas, they'd be corrected, but also to deter any actual christians from bringing in their opinions.

btw i wanna gently say, since I've been drawing these two more & involving christian themes:

this story is in no way romanticising the religion, quite the opposite. I personally dont have a positive opinion of it either.
so if that's something that bothers you, block the tag, for your own peace.

Acts 8:22

[OCs: Nikola Graves x Sister Catherine who belongs to: @mossborn.bsky.social, #fruitofsin #gracehound #NewtsOCs ]
A digital illustration styled like a fake movie screenshot showing a scene between two figures bathed in early morning light. It depicts a nun dressed in white grabbing the face of a larger, blonde haired figure who has blood on their mouth and nose and remnants of tears at their cheeks. behind them is a white wall with a crucifix, a rosary, a drawing of St. Mary and various other decorations The scenes is strangely tender through obvious the tention and both their expfessions seem pained. at the bottom, there is a fake subtitle text that reads: "And repent of this wickedness of yours,"

Limnades are carnivorous nymphs who haunt only in the freshest of waters. These canny shapeshifters take whatever shape they desire in order to hunt their favoured prey: humans. Their enchanting songs lure their prey into their watery lairs, as drowned meat is the sweetest...

'The Deaths of River Dart'

AD: Fen Inkwright
#fantasyart #D&D #TTRPG
Digital painting depicting a dangerous-looking old woman with long dark hair, long pointy nose, yellow glowing eyes and a wicked smirk. She is up to her thighs in river water, washing a bloodied sheet of linen. The scene is in darkness, with a strip of lighting illuminating her only partially. The surface of the water is covered in duckweed and there are ravens flying around the figure. The figure has metal coin jewelry woven into her wild, dark hair that falls down her back and into the water like a thick blanket. There is a full moon visible in the reflection of the water. The credit text at the bottom includes: Crow&Crown logo, Aquarium logo, “Charlie Newt Borovský @EyeOfTheNewt” and “© Crow&Crown 2026”.

thanks for posting the link again <3

made a section for just process showcase on my website based on the tip in the portfolio guidelines, didn't think of that before but I bet it can be very useful to see for the ADs.

good luck everyone!

It was also the season finale for the game she's in last night and I will miss this little weirdo so much!
Thought I'd draw one more serious, sad piece of her, even tho she is often the comedic relief, her story is pretty dark.

Miss Agnes always rolled so bad on her remote viewing ability the last few sessions, poor darling got a headache.

[OC: Agnes Morrison - City Of Mist, 80s Neon Noir.]
Digital painting of a dark haired woman in a darkened space, rubbing her face while looking at the viewer with a pitch black eye. There is a small trickle of blood going down from her nose. Her face is fairly long and angular and she has dark circles under her eyes. She has a long scarf around her neck and her hair is straight and unbrushed. The light in this piece is coming
