#portfolioday

I'm a painter, writer, art director, and communicator, and I want to work for you!

my style is flexible and I LOVE to experiment.

A collection of color tests for a simple character in the style of Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Seasons

A pixel-art portrait of a small red imp with fiery hair.

A painted portrait of a fantasy orc holding a butterfly.

A painting of a short fantasy creature with mouse like features. She seems to be an alchemist.

Passing, but at what cost 😔

Me and a course mate sit and have lunch together. During conversation, he finds out that Im trans

I blush and ask him if he didn't notice anything before, hoping to receive compliments

He replies that all the details he noticed before, he chalked it up to me being italian

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.
vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama/

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

Maybe kill the part of yourself that takes it personally when someone is critical of art you love? Because A) they really are just considering the art thru their specific viewpoint and expectations, B) their experience doesn't take away from yours and C) it's fun to think critically about art u like

#FFXIV has kidnapped most of my muse lately so I had to get some out of my system with this expression meme I've been meaning to do for a while! #art #oc

(I hope constantly posting art of two different versions of Rivi isn't getting too confusing ^^;)

An expression sheet chart of the Final Fantasy XIV version of my character Rivière, a blue-haired femme non-binary Lalafell in a flower-and-ribbon-adorned red beret and pastel blue sweater. They're shown poker-faced, smiling, enraged (at Zenos), sad, weeping, bashful (over an affectionately teasing Krile), impatient, surprised, submissive, dominant, in front of something they like (a Eurekan Petrel), and something they hate (Archon Loaf).
