collage of several illustrated ttrpg characters. Left to right: An adventurer half orc lady with a huge Warhammer across her shoulders, on which are perched two round robins; a monk turned swashbuckler half elf in a peach tunic holding a mysterious crystal pendant that glows green like a tropical sea; a mountain elf ranger walking on a stony path, holding her thick wool cape up to let a group of elephant shrews pass by. painted by illustrator Lise Baron.

Digital Painting for Cyberpunk RED. Portrait of a journalist with a short bright green pixie cut, sitting crossed legged in her cyberchair in a warm colored turkish café. She looks TV-ready dressed, wearing smart grey pants, stilettos, and a white sleeveless shirt under her blue reporter bulletproof vest, on which are strapped the words 'PRESS' and 'N54'. She's typing on her agent 'a smartphone), hiding her screen from other people, especially those two too-curious onlookers in the background.. painted by illustrator Lise Baron

Painterly painting of a centaur-ibex granny climbing a cliff to harvest her hawks' eggs, by illustrator Lise Baron. On the cliff we can see the bird's nest, a domesticated squirrel picking one of its eggs. In the distance, warmly illuminated mountains and on the edge of a cliff, a little farmstead waiting for her to return. The scene is full of rocks, grass and little flowers. painted by illustrator Lise Baron

Digital painting study of Shishkin’s “Rye”; Serene end of the day landscape. Looking over a rye field from a wildflower overgrown dirt path, to great green trees carved over a warm grey overcast sky.

Book cover artists
QRP with your book covers!

I love painting book covers! Got a few I can't share yet, and I'd love to do more. :)

A red haired, armored woman carrying a lance runs through a snowy forest, accompanied by a fierce wolf and a raven. Skeletal tree branches surround them.

We're in a sunlit artificer laboratory. A young female gnome artificer is applying the finishing touches to her newest construct, a very large metal humanoid. She's sitting on its shoulder while a smaller flying automaton holds her tools.

A dark skinned woman stands in front of a broken blue stained glass window. She’s crying but has a somewhat serene expression. The woman’s skin is crisscrossed by cracks repaired with gold. She’s surrounded by wilted flowers. In her hands are two lively swallows made of light. The light coming from the birds swirls around the image, giving life to the previously wilted flowers.
On the back side of the book cover we see two more birds dancing around a broken vase, they too are reviving flowers with their light.

I love #Portfolio day… so inspiring 🥹 here’s a couple of my little drawings. 🎀
Hi I’m Ellie. A graduate game designer - 2D Game Artist/character designer/illustrator/emote artist.
I hope to one day work in games and/or freelance ✨🧸💖

A simple illustration of a Christmas post card. It shows a black and white cat with a red bow around its neck. The cat is surrounded with holly branches. Above the cat is a handwritten text in Dutch saying “merry Christmas”

An illustration of an otter standing on a couple red leaves. His hat has been blown off his head by the wind and he shows a shocked expression. His yellow and red striped scarf is blowing in the wind, together with a couple more autumn leaves.

A symmetrical pixel art front-view portrait of the cat Jiji from the movie Kiki’s delivery service from Studio Ghibli.

A symmetrical sketch of a raccoon standing on its hind legs, front legs hanging down in front of its belly. There’s no expression on its face. Underneath the raccoon a handwritten text saying “PEDRO”.

I'm a human artist making human art, and it's my birthday today! 🎉
It would mean a lot to me if you'd share my work ❤️✨

Demon Hunter - illustration
The image is a book cover for an upcoming fantasy novella by Daina Rustin. It depicts two main characters facing off a monster in a forest.
The main characters - Gray and Adrien - are turned away from us, and facing the monster hidden in the bushes. Gray is a slightly darker skinned mage, with long straight black hair, wearing a light green tunic and brown pants. She's placed in the foreground to the right.
She wears a wide belt around her waist, and has one shoulder bag and one smaller bag visible hanging around her waist. She is preparing a fireball in her left hand.
Adrien is a knight, and he's placed towards the left of the image. He's pointing his sword at the monster. He's wearing the Ravensguard blue tunic over a chainmail shirt, and brown pants.
The monster is in the middle background, it's tall, standing on back legs, black with reddish highlights, red eyes, big beak, and two very long claws in front.

Aurelia - character illustration
The image shows a stylized character illustration of the main character of Sky Across - Aurelia - on a white background. The character is a female, standing while leaning on a tall regal staff, while dressed in a "ceremonial" outfit for her setting. She’s wearing a stiff pale cream dress with blue decorative linings around the edges, and a v-neck cut, a gold feathery shawl draped over her shoulders, and she has thigh-high blue and orange leather boots with a small heel. She’s wearing gold jewelry, her earrings feature the same blue gemstone as her staff, while the leaf motif repeats between the bits of staff and her necklace pendant. She’s wearing a gold feathery tiara that matches her scarf. Her hair is long and dark red/purple, with a braid coiled around her head behind the tiara.

S.Coups - The Leader
A digital study of S. Coups, k-pop idol and leader from the group Seventeen. Grayscale study of a photoshoot photo, trying to mimic traditional media of pencil and charcoal.

Cartoon drawing of a duo of my lovable thieves Slither-paw Rah’eeni and Dandera. They are holding huge bags of loot and golden items and resting on a rooftops in some medieval-ish sea-town. Dandera (right) is sitting against a dovecote, slouching into her clearly too-heavy bags of loot, exhausted. She says “Too… much!!” in a speach bubble above her head. A little further on the left, Rah’eeni, covered with gold jewelery and hoarding huge bags as well, is enjoying a golden apple and looking a bit confused at Dandera like “too much what?”

illustration of a scared-looking young catfolk progressing sideways through a dark sewer tunnel, holding her magic light-emitting shortsword at arm's length, and a small dagger in her other hand, closer to her body. Water is up to her knees. Three big rats are looking at her, eyes catching the sword's light. On the other end of the tunnel, a creepy humanoid looking silhouette approaches... Is this what she's so afraid of? - by illustrator Lise Baron
