Hi happy #PortfolioDay !

I'm Morgan, a queer artist mostly focused on original character and nature subjects. I have a shop, and I do commissions through Ko-fi!

Illustration of a dark-colored snail. The body is sort of dark gray with reddish streaks and lines along the top and sides. The shell is dark brown and turning lighter and warmer in color as it spirals in. The background is off-white with squiggles and little stars. Drawing of a very long scaly pinkish gray dragon with curved black horns, a hairy gray mane, bird feet, and a somewhat humanlike face. The dragon, named Eve, has one foot on the shoulder of a human trans guy named Aster who looks like he is struggling under the weight. Aster is pale with wavy blond hair, and he is wearing a white blouse and brown pants and boots. The background is blue with a tan border. Drawing of two winged guys on a blue sort of stained glass-like background with a yellow lace-like border. There is a dark circle behind them. One guy, Lace, is a bit smaller with top surgery scars and curly brown hair. He is wearing star earrings and white pants, and he has long, narrow wings like a barn swallow. He is holding a knife to the throat of the other guy. The other guy, Nemato, is paler with long red hair. He is wearing a white skirt and has more rounded wings patterned like a shrike. Lace looks angry, but Nemato looks almost calm, or even enamored, and is not fighting back. The two guys are glowing a bit. Drawing of four sturgeon swimming through the water with bubbles. The first is brown and swimming to the right while the rest swim to the left. The second is bluish-gray and has a little chip out of a fin. The third is pale yellowish brown and slim. The fourth is darker and gray.

I FUCKEN FINISHED!!! As always, it took me 2 months, but I got there in the end.
The final illustration of a pink silkmoth with beige and brown upper wings and vibrant pink lower wings. Oh, and an incredibly fluffy body. A close up showing the detail of the furry wings.

A comm I did a few weeks ago for @poetofchaos.bsky.social of a tender moment between their boys Corvell (L) and Fallastiel (R).
#commission #art
Two men stand facing each other. The left is clad in red and black, with a crown of spikes and roses on his head. The right had long, wavy purple hair, dressed in simple clothes. He has his hand resting on Corvell's (L) lower back, and his other hand resting gently in Corvell's. Behind them is a simple gold frame

Oskar introducing someone to the Estates, a periodic table shaped apartment building. Text reads “Hi, I’m Oskar, and welcome to Atomland!
