Hi #PortfolioDay ! ✨

I'm Nika, an illustrator based in the Netherlands, and I paint stylized fantasy characters that fit into imaginary worlds. I enjoy working with strong color identity, and I love implementing hints of storytelling into my work!

An illustration of a messy desk with many messy, crumpled up and torn papers. The illustration zooms in on a golden pendant, which is open and has an image of Stede Bonnet from OFMD. The other side of the pendant interior says "To Edward, S.B." There's also ink, ink stains and a quill, as well as what appears to be an old letter, and an attempt at a response starting with an awkwardly written "Dear Stede".

Dorothea "Dot" McCoy, a healer character for a pirate D&D game I briefly got to play a few years back! (Yes, her name is a nod to Bones from Star Trek because I'm a nerd 🌟)

I'm glad I get to be reminded of this, it's hard to remember the good about social media these days sometimes!

Ryuutsu 💫 @ryuutsu.bsky.social · 2d

Many of my best friends today (IRL and online), are people I've met online 😀 It's given a socially anxious teen me the chance to be myself, and be seen. I've had the chance to have my work be seen by some of my heroes. It enabled me to make a living off my passion for several years!

Narney, I say this from the depths of my soul, ever since I met you I've seen your creative mind at constant work and it always has such delicious depth and you vibe 💙 I'm glad you aren't doubting yourself anymore, because whether it's collaborative or not, I have 0 doubts your vibe shines through!

You deserve it 💪 I really think a creative mind never really goes away, even if it's dormant for a bit! I have full faith it will always come back in some shape or form!

A little snippet of my writing for T'Agwin & Siavola!

Context: Siavola becomes a leader of the tribes but was not trained for it, and T'Agwin who WAS trained for it... does not. Siavola picks her as her Second, which T'Agwin views as an insult. This is the first time they find some common ground.

I'm sooo glad, Narney 💙 I feel that in my bones - sometimes creativity doesn't come in large bursts and stories, sometimes it comes in tiny snippets of ideas, and those too are worth their weight in gold, whether they end up part of a story or not.
