Happy #PortfolioDay !

I'm Arlo and I'm an Illustrator/ Practical SFX artist who's been trying to get back into the swing of things after a couple years hiatus.

I really like TTRPGS, MMOs and character/prop designs!

Drawing of a Guild Wars 2 sylvari on a tree branch. He is composed of primary colors and has horns atop his head.

Special Effects prop of a heart with clear tubing.

Special Effects makeup of a lizard like man in colonial garb.

Another from the WIP vault

One more overpainting of an older drawing, but this changed pretty drastically from the initial concept. Redrew the face, and I'll probably do the same with the hand (one might argue I should just start a new drawing, but I like to suffer)

We’re getting it up here in Washington too, I’m hoping that since we’re getting rain that it’ll help the air quality…

I had an urge to design Mordrem Mabaki.
Lighter color to follow original Mordrem concept, darker to follow his original colors.

Raffle is finished. Thank you for such amazing characters, I'm happy how different they are^^ And it was really easy to obsess with them and go much further than just portrait. I hope you are not disappointed <3

Next raffles will be when I reach 500 followers AND at the end of winter. Gl next time!

for @insectomancer.bsky.social .

I found it interesting that the wing-thorns can be used to pin a victim like a beetle or a butterfly. Especially considering the character owner's nickname ^^

@pyppyn.bsky.social was lucky twice: not only winning raffle roll but also during work on his Aavic I was hitted by the desire to do something complex xD

- Spells don't have to be useful. Sometimes they can be done just for fun. "Rain of Swords"? How about "Butterfly tornado"?

<< a tree via rot. He’s also prone to fits of rage when things don’t go his way and will decay the area around him (So I guess a tantrum almost lol). He goes from cool and domineering to out of control in seconds. Honestly I can only play him in short bursts because he can be a bit much

Insecto @insectomancer.bsky.social · Aug 20

Sure! guess for his horns they’re hardwood given they are shaped as a part of his skeleton. He’s a master shaper and took it upon himself to look more frightening over time. He’s following his dark hunt and at one point after someone rejected helping him he used his necromancy to meld them to>>
