Shaded illustration of a café storefront in an Art Nouveau style, framed in lilac leaves. Cats surround the entrance, guiding the viewer into the busy establishment. The main barista is walking accompanied by two white cats, with platters of food gently floating above them with sparkling pink magic. A soft blue light bathes the interior.

Same picture as before, but this time with the font of Toe Beans, Fistful of Crits and Daggerheart showcased on it.

@eyeofthenewt.bsky.social

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

Portfolio: eyeofthenewt.com
Socials: linktr.ee/EyeOfTheNewt

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.

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.

Happy Portfolio Day! 🌈👹🌟

I’m Lou, I love to make queer, heartfelt, illustrations, comics and animations.

I’m a Jack of all trades and an art style chameleon. But atm my focus is on creating concept artwork for the dark urban romantasy I’m writing with my beloved @theazrai.com.
‘MARROW’

An illustration of a man smoking in front of a stained glass window showing a saint with a morning star in his hand and two angels turned towards him.
At the bottom the title of the story this illustration was made for; MARROW is front and centre.

An illustration of a three mouthed, four armed, emaciated, monster with the text POLTERGEIST above it.
At the bottom the title of the story it is from MARROW is front and centre.

An illustration of the two main characters of a dark urban fantasy story, MARROW. A witch nervously talking to a horned demon who has him in a grip by the front of his sweater. The sweater is adorned with eye iconography. Which the witch has a mark of on the back of one hand clutching a grimoire. The demon has dog tags and bracers on his wrists.
They are ringed in electricity and magical stars while smoke from the demon’s cigarette trails off to one side.
The title of their story, MARROW, is at the bottom.

An early illustration of the demon, NOX, inside a birdcage. With chains and demonic hands bordering him. His named is scratched across the front of the cage, while beneath it in faint blue his old name is featured.
At the bottom of the image is the title of the story he belongs to: MARROW.

#portfolioday

a variety of small drawings i made for a personal project i’m working on

a variety of concepts of people dressed in fancy clothes

one very green painting of my OC, mysterious skeleton girl, posing down on her knee. she has unnaturally long limbs. she’s holding a fossilised ichthyosaur skull sword on her shoulder and is wearing weird clothes that make her skeleton visible like on an x-ray. there’s a spirit of a hare in the background, running around with its eye gleaming red.

digital painting of hans and henry from
kingdom come deliverance games. they’re standing facing each other, with henry’s back turned to us. only the upper parts of their bodies are in the light. henry is keeping his right hand on a sword that’s red from smithing, his left hand is on hans’ right shoulder, left side of his face touching hans’ left temple. hans is holding a golden cross that hangs from his palm on a chain, it shines dimly. he’s looking down on it, hesitant. the background is bright blue, like the sky happens to be on a cloudless summer evening. the characters are bright too, with red and yellow accents where the light shines upon them. there’s a single four-pointed white star above their heads.

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand).

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. The angle is low, looking up. The sky is dominated by a cloud lit by golden hour, and there are cherry blossom trees sending petals through the piece. From left: Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff); Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in two hands).

Stylised illustration in teal and orange of Lace Harding (dwarf woman, red hair, pale skin, freckled) and Dawes Mercar (human man, olive skin, short dark hair). They stand facing each other. Harding has her hands gentle on his face, and lyrium blue veins crawl over his face from her touch. Her eyes glow lyrium blue. Dawes holds the Lyrium Dagger loosely in one hand. The background is a tangle of snakes and elfroot.
