A digital illustration of a spotted ocelot cat reclined in a green, grassy place. The cat has rich, orange fur dappled with large dark spots and stripes. There are multicolored, Icelandic poppies sprouting from its shoulders and body. A digital illustration of a group of green, mossy kittens. They are various shades and hues of green, brown and orange. They all look happy and relaxed. There are a few, large fallen leaves on the mossy ground surrounding the group of cats. A digital illustration of a turtle swimming under water. There are waterlily plants growing out of its shell and head with a large, pink flower on the surface of the wafer above. A digital illustration of a green parrot sitting on a branch. The bird has a red tail and a white ring around its eye. Its head is turned slightly to the right in a coy expression. There are delicate mango flowers sprouting from the bird’s tail and head.

Will of the Winds, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A weird ship is riding the curving horizon over a small village in a surreal, undular and windy sci-fi landscape. Huge clouds form majestic shapes in the background. There's an orange cat with a hat floating in the air. Spiraling into Serenity, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A swirling magical realism landscape with spiraling blue beams and a ship appearing in the background, looking like it's teleporting using some form of spiral energy. A little house is nestled comfortably between spiraling trees, and a few swans are swimming in a nearby pond. Night on the Highway, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A moonlit night scene on a bizarrely large highway with thousands of car lights going both directions. There's a hovering cat with a hat next to one of the cars. The Blue Hour, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A blue and purple dream-like scene with an overgrown church sitting in a cloudy landscape. Wind turbines can be seen in the distance and there's a chimney pumping rain clouds out. A cat with a hat and a vest is lazily hovering around the scene.

The cover for my book THE JELLYFISH, picturing the main character Odette looking sad, with a jellyfish covering their left eye. The cover has an Eisner Award winner golden seal on it! :) An illustration of the three main characters of IN TRANSIT, my next graphic novel. They're all women, standing against a wall with a huge ad on it that says "Choose Life" in French. One of the women is holding a knife menacingly. An illustration of the interior of a convenience store. A woman, the cashier, is leaning against the counter, looking bored. There are countless wares around her. Everything is coloured in pinks and purples. A fanart of Rella, from Metaphor: ReFantazio. It's a headshot. Her piercing eyes stare at the camera. There's a golden glow around her head, making her golden crown shine.

Hi #portfolioday my name is Peri Pendrake and I’m a fantasy/furry artist that would love to design creatures, monsters, or any kind of critter for your TTRPG or game!

Monsters are my bread and butter, but I’m more than happy to draw hero’s of the adventure too ⚔️

✉️ peripendrake[at]gmail.com
Against a cobalt blue background, figures entirely flat colored in bright red, with overlay impact font text that reads "WOLF LIKE ME". Both are monstrous-like figures, the left is climbing on the chest of the right figure and has the head of a gharial and anthropomorphic body with a long and slender tail. The right figure has a hand around the lefts throat, and braces another hand on the left figures arm who's trying to swing a knife down on them. The right figure is mammal like, also anthropomorphic, with an oval face, bat nose, and long lop ears. There is a crowbar in the mouth of the Gharial, keeping it from biting the right figure. Two black and white drawings. Left is an old woman with a big gnarled walking stick with a number of birds perched on it- behind her ominously stands a large stork. To the right is a dragonborn wearing puffy regal clothing standing in front of an easel- palette and brush in hand. He looks back at the viewer smiling. A grotesque anthropomorphic wolf with multiple arms and a neck that is so stolen around its head its skull-like face is barely visible from the folds. Sickly green eyes sprout randomly from its skin looking around wildly.

Hey, it’s #PortfolioDay! I’m Ted, of Ted & Ro, and together we make comics!

Currently working on the #WorstManOGN, a smart, fast, gay crime romcom set at a wedding, lettered by @gofrankgo.bsky.social, edited by @phoebehedges.bsky.social and published by @comicstitan.bsky.social!
A comic cover. A cheeky, skinny man with red hair and a red suit is toasting the camera as he's sat flamboyantly in the lap of a burly guy with curly black hair, who's glaring at the first guy. They're sat in a giant wedding cake, collapsing it. The redhead is using his foot to hold up the cake topper, a stylised image of the bride and groom. Sticking into the cake is a giant wedding invite with the title, "Worst Man". In the foreground, falling like confetti, are dove feathers. A five panel comics page, with four of the panels arranged vertically along the left hand side, over a splash panel. No lettering, as it's just a preview. Panel 1: a profile shot of a handsome guy's face. His head is angled down but he's looking up, grinning a little. His red hair is flopping over, he has a black eye, and a trickle of blood is running down from his nose. Panel 2: a shot from behind, showing off the guy's hands in handcuffs as he's sat in a steel folding chair. Panel three: the guy's got a teasing expression on as his interrogator, a large burly guy, walks behind him. We can't see the interrogator's face. Panel four: the guy's rolling his eyes. Splash panel: over the shoulder of the burly interrogator, looking down at the handsome guy. He's looking up at the interrogator, confidently smiling as he talks. A comics panel. A skinny red-headed guy with a nose bleed, wearing a hotel uniform, is looking at the camera and shrugging a bit Two panels of a comic. Both are set in a large, spacious hotel lobby, behind the reception desk and looking out towards the grand front door. Panel 1: a burly guy wearing a vest, pyjama bottoms and a belt with a gun and phone on it is gesturing a little awkwardly, looking embarrassed. A skinny guy wearing hotel uniform is looking a little embarrassed and shy. Panel 2: the skinny guy is now looking overwhelmed and supremely embarrassed. The burly guy is stiffly walking in a huge panic off the side of the panel.

Moonlight streams in through the window. A drawing of an alien fishman, Xan underwater. His jellyfish-like tentacles swirl around his head. Bust drawing of Isari'kyo from the comic Whispers of the Past brushing wisteria flowers from his face. Golden sunlight streams through the canopy, leaving streaks of mottled light on his face.

An oil painting of a foggy, monochrome forest with a singular man with glowing eyes standing in front of it. Before him are multiple shadows of wolves, their eyes glowing in the darkness as well. Drawing of R. Daneel Olivaw, cut in half down the center, revealing cybernetics on the right side. He is holding his hands out and standing like an Alex Grey Chapel of Sacred Mirrors artwork, the background radiating gold from his head. An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together. Ten winged people in a baroque style drawing. There is one man in the middle with long dark hair grabbing another by his scalp and punching him in the side of the head, while the rest try to pry him off. Feathers and wings are flying everywhere.
