An illustration of a long haired man with elf ears looking somberly at the viewer. He has tear tracks down his cheeks. he is standing in front of a series of eroded statues, each of which also has tears in its eyes and is overgrown with foliage. The sky is red and ominous behind them. An illustration with a decorative white border. In the center, a large, dark gray skinned man with glowing eyes is lying on his back, and a much shorter man with pale skin and long hair is resting on his shoulder, nude and draped in a dark blue cloth. In the background, various versions of the shorter man are lying dead, with a ripple effect distorting them and the background. A group portrait of five men (two at the top, one in the center, two at the bottom), with each of the outer four looking yearningly at the man in the center. The top-left man has dark skin, red eyes looking away from the viewer, and black coily hair which is tied back with a red ribbon. The top-right man has pale white skin and long, silver hair and yellow eyes, and is wearing a black bodysuit mask over his mouth and nose. The man in the center has medium tan skin and long, dark blue hair with silver streaks. His eyes are golden. The bottom-left man has light skin, short black hair with a silver gradient at its roots, a mustache, and is wearing a decorative red rose eyepatch over his visible eye. The bottom-right man has light skin, blonde hair cut into a choppy jellyfish cut with curls at the bottom, and pale blue eyes. A dark illustration of a sorcerer wearing black robes, a tall black hat, and a scarf resembling fish scales. He's also wearing a white mask that fully covers his face that resembles a jester's mask. The image has a patterned frame and text that reads "ARCH-SORCERER OF LYMPH YVON"

good morning #PortfolioDay !

i'm viktor, a trans gay illustrator, looking for work for march 2026 onwards in books, fantasy book boxes, ttrpgs, and comics. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 historical fiction, fashion, and fantasy is my cup of tea ✨🌿🌸🍵

A digital illustration of a scene from AV Wilkes' 'All the White Spaces'. Jonathan, a trans man and the protagonist, stands in the centre, facing the viewer. He stares ahead in horror, his right hand clutching his throat. From his left eye, strands of bleeding red aurora stretch outwards. These auroras show visions of Jonathan's brothers on the Western Front of the First World War: - A moustached officer smokes a cigarette in a trench, looking away. - A soldier is twisted in the remains of barbed wire. - Three soldiers wear gas masks, emerging from clouds of mustard gas. - No Man's Land exploded to all hell. A tank is submerged in a shell hole in the distance. - A skull pressed into the earth. - A soldier holds a rifle and makes his way across the strait of No Man's Land. Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers. Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace. Right: The cover for the book The Need for Dandelions by Alex Larkspur. Two men stand back to back surrounded by depictions of dandelions. The man angled to the front is Galen. He has tan skin, red hair, and hazel eyes. A large portion of his face is covered by a burn scar. He wears a yellow tunic and brown pants, along with a pink flower pendant. He lifts up one hand, and looks concerned. The other man, facing towards the back but looks over his shoulder, is Sasha. He has light brown hair, dark brown eyes, and stubble. He is wearing leather armor and green shirt and pants. He is holding a sword. 2 different portrait illustrations side by side. Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers. Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels. Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry. Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion. Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it. A double page spread of a comic. The first page shows a twisted tree in the centre, the space between each branch a panel showing a plague blighting a kingdom. The protagonist called Wolfgang is engulfed in the blighted roots of the twisted tree in the throes of a nightmare. A voice tells him "Take heed, young Durward. These lands know only death, and within its centre, a horror festers. It feasts on all its roots can teach, and what life remains dwindles." The second page shows a close up of the branches of this twisted tree. Between its panels are images of rot, bodies in body bags, dead fish floating, and the branches are infested with maggots. The voice continues "Soon, there will be naught to satisfy its hunger. But for every poison, there is an antidote."

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Tools matter and asking about tools is 100% fine; nobody thinks a particular brush is a shortcut to competence, they simply like the effect.

A comic. First pannel: two knights are walking and one hears "PEEP!" coming from under a tree. Second pannel: he goes to see what it is. Third pannel: he comes back to the other knight holding something in his hands and says "Poor fella, it's nest must've fell down :(" fourth pannel: we see knights hand upclose holding a little bird that looks simmilar to the other knight. The knight holding it wonders why it looks so oddly familiar, while we see the other knight behind looking at the hand, probably confused.

my #artsummary2025 !

this year was so tough for me in many ways, but artistically it was one of my best i think. i really leaned into drawing self-indulgently and as a result i think my art is the truest to myself that it's ever been 😈
