Hello #portfolioday

A charcoal drawing on toned paper I did of a photograph I took of my friend's daughter. The angle is from below, and the lighting is creating subtle eerie shadows. I wanted a macabre effect to this art, it is unclear if this is a floating head... and also her eyes are translucent, so she appears in a trance. There are mysterious marking down the side of her cheek. Close up pencil drawing of an eye looking to it's left/straight forward, with what looks like spiders legs crawling out from the bottom lid. There appears to be bits of spider web around the eye. I wanted to create the effect of a sinister symbiotic relationship. The 'host' looks strangely complicit. The artwork is entitled 'Home'. Pencil and charcoal portrait of agent cooper from twin peaks. The light source is from the viewers right, and casting strong shadows to the right of his face (viewer's left). Black and white. Graphite pencil drawing + watercolour on toned paper of a close up of a woman's face. She is in profile, only her nose and mouth is visible. She appears to have quite a sharp tooth. I have added colour tones in photoshop. Her nose and lips have a reddish tone, almost like blood. She has a scar/cut on her cheek. The art is called 'Drained'.

Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)
Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

Lovely people of Bluesky: Please support my prize draw! I'm giving away recent oil painting, "Water Washed By Wind", to raise money for Care Leavers this Christmas & will ship it (free) anywhere in the world. Entry is free, but any donations would be fantastic. www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...
Dramatic seascape in oil (on primed hessian): Huge, foamy waves lit up by sun or moonlight breaking through stormy clouds. Traces of ochre across the sky, reflected through the water, with odd patches of indigo.

Mild plant horror 🌱🌿
Digital illustration depicting a hooded figure. Her face is not visible, but in its place are stylized shoots protruding from the hood’s opening. Dark mountains are visible in the background. Digital illustration styled as if it were printed on an old battered card. It depicts a character whose head is replaced by black branches. Digital illustration in the style of a vintage storybook. A man peacefully sits in a sparse forest with his back against a tree stump. Muted red flowers grow out of his chest. Below the illustration reads “several flowers bloomed from his chest.” Digital illustration in the style of old print. It displays three plants in various states of transformation. All are growing vague animal-like bodies: one birdlike, one serpentine, and the other humanoid.

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

Two men in 3/4 view looking up towards the upper left. Their eyes are luminous cyan. A low perspective shot of a man wearing a hood, long shirt with belt, and cloth boots. He is covered in blood stains, holding a rock in his left hand. He is framed by two very large extended wings. He is looking off into the distance.
