Happy #portfolioday ! Made sure not to miss this one!
I'm Justin, based in The Philippines, and I do traditional and digital art.
You may see me posting plenty of graphite sketches here regularly, as well as WIPS, in between my finished pieces. 🎨

Underspace Vacation - Two astronauts floating in a deep underwater chasm. They are facing each other in a beam of light as the dark seafloor reaches up from beneath them.

Steiner and Vivi, Clothes Swap - Final Fantasy IX's Steiner and Vivi wearing each other's outfits, and switching roles. We see Vivi as an awkward and clunky knight, learning to carry himself in oversized armor, and Steiner as an excited and proud new black mage, who is also a little undertrained.

Also, an added Bobby Corwen chocobo feather in Vivi's helmet.

Mind Palace - An upside down, three-eyed skull floats in a void. A green castle is growing from its teeth, in the opposite direction.

DTIYS entry of a half wood elf druid.

@Kaynaaart's half wood elf druid, Amatae, drinking an enchanted coffee in a café, joined by a pair of mischievous faeries. She is leaning forward on her elbows, holding a cup of coffee, with blue light emanating from it and glowing on her face. A faerie is dipping her foot into another cup of coffee, and drawing a shape in the foam. One other faerie holds onto a red lantern, just to the left of Amatae, providing extra light.

A pair of walking brooms from The Sorceror's Apprentice, enchanted to life to carry buckets of water by Mickey Mouse. One is walking down the stairs in the back, casting a sharp shadow on the wall behind him.

Thank you for the kind words and thoughts on the pieces! 🙏 I actually had a difficult time knowing how to get the hatching done with the heart, so it was all very edge of my seat work with the rendering of it. I'm very glad how it turned out, and that you like it and the others!

It's based on my Hansry artwork. Hans and Henry are on their horses on a sunny autumn day. They touch their palms as if they are dancing instead of jousting.

Congratulations on your followers! Thank you for the artshare, and to @solidpawn.bsky.social for thinking of me and tagging me here 🙏
I'll share an appropriately spooky digital piece of mine, as well as some inktober pieces!

Mind Palace - A three-eyed skull floats upside-down in a dark void. A green castle twists upwards from its teeth.

A starfish perches behind a running shower head. He holds a kitchen knife, ready to strike.

A monster slowly peeks out of a murky swamp, behind the lone tree.

A human heart sits in a set of scales, much heavier than a black feather it is weighed against.

A dolphin lazing on his couch, without motivation. An annoying pest is tapping on his window and holding a sign telling him to do a flip. The dolphin is giving him the flipper

A digital painting of a PoC character. He has shorter locs tied back with a gray hair tie. He has a big smile on his face, appearing cheerful. There are two identifiable markings on his face, two small moles; one under his right eye and one above his upper lip on the left side. He has dark brown eyes that both match his hair. His wardrobe ( what is visible ) consists of an off-white top that has a low neckline. The text on it reads " ART SHARE! "

I have some spooky pieces for inktober 💀👻

A starfish perched behind a running shower head. He is holding a kitchen knife, ready to attack.

A monstrous sandwich skewered with a spear with a skull. An arm sticks out of the sandwich's mouth, next to the tongue.

A creature skulks in a murky swamp, right behind a lone tree.

A human heart and a feather are weighed on scales. The heart is much heavier, and dripping.

A zombie does a crooked grind down a long handrail. He is throwing caution to the wind as he is completely blindfolded with no helmet and brains exposed.

Chatting cows

What could they be talking about? Is it any of your business? Probably not. Unless it's you.

#art #sketch #cows #gossip #moo

Two cows stand talking to each other in a field somewhere. One is holding her hoof up as to speak clearly and secretly.

That's my goat upside down in the air 🥹
That's so sick. I also recently learned he actually innovated so many tricks. If you look at his Wikipedia, his list is quite a scroll
