It's #portfolioday again!

I'm Tam, a freelance Canadian artist 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
I focus mostly on characters and creatures, and use traditional or digital mediums to create my artwork
Here's my portfolio site:
tamvmat.myportfolio.com/work

A human and a dwarf sit at a wooden table in a tavern. Black traditional ink artwork

An ink drawing of a skull with a nautilus living inside

Digital painting of an older man, wearing jeans and no shirt or shoes. He is floating in ocean water, bubbles coming up from below

Some kind of slimy tentacle creature. Red and black , with spikes and a human skull held on the top part of it

I found this in construction site gravel today??
It was very dirty, but I saw a hint of the banding because it was raining. Woah.
