"The great hunt". Illustration piece I did for Paul Scott Canavan's mentorship. It represents an haunt scene, the hunter is mounting a big white tiger with piercing white eyes -sign that she's blind- which is roaring as she's sprinting through the action. The hunter has heavy clothing on, inspired by the Mongolian and Slavic clothing. He has long black hair moved by the wind, and he's holding a sword in his hand, ready to defend his wood. The environment is a snowy wood, old trees and branches all around the scene, as the white snow covers them. The sun is setting, and the overall atmosphere looks pinkish, lightened by the lights of the time of the day. Pink, yellow and blue shading on the sky, as the clouds move, forming interesting shapes. Illustration I made for S.A. Harian's book Briardark. The scene is showing a young woman wearing a blue coat lost in an heavy atmospheric forest in which the trees tangles with each other and the roots are everywhere on the ground. The woman is sitting - knees down - on the grass, the look on her face seems scared and hurt while she tries to extract a glow arrow from her chest, dripping blood as she's looking at the viewer, terrified. Next to her, on the grass, there's a bloody knife almost hidden. Illustration I made for S.A. Harian's book Briardark. The image is showing a deer skull in a central composition, with songbirds on its horns. The songbirds are chirping and flying around, with white flowers and climbing plants intertwined around it.

Commission for @/deadvictimcomplex on Vgen ✨

#art #illustration #Vgen #commission
A painted fantasy portrait of a woman with pale skin, long straight black hair, and striking light green eyes. She has curved black horns rising from her head and pointed elf-like ears. Her expression is calm and slightly aloof as she looks toward the viewer over her shoulder. She wears a dark, fitted dress with a low neckline and a flowing blue-gray cloak fastened at the collar, along with a delicate necklace holding a green gemstone. The background is a muted, textured gray-green, enhancing the moody, elegant atmosphere of the illustration. (@/deadvictimcomplex)

portrait illustration sketch commission of a character owned by client, Aeshma. She is a patron goddess. Her looks are intimidating and dark, she comes out of the dark, looking mysterious, almost threatening. She has two pairs of eyes, two lights purple and two magenta, the same colour of her wavy hair. She has purple scales on her cheeks and shoulders and all of her design is bug-like. She has two antennas on her forehead and two old horns. A light from below lights up her purplish skin and the scars she's got on her face and body, while her lips are curved in a slight grin. Portrait commission of a character owned by client. The character is a Half-elf with the elf lineage being Astral Elf. They wear a fancy black trench coat with silver star-like dots scattered across it. A dark purple half cape is draped over their right shoulder. A silver scarf is wrapped around their neck. Their long white hair rolls down just past his shoulders and parted over to the right. Partially covered by their bangs, there is a pitch black right eye that has some black eyeliner and a smattering of black eyeshadow. The other eye is light green. Silver crescent moon earrings adorn both of their earlobes and a silver bar crosses the top of their left ear. Their head is turned to almost be looking at the viewer and their expression give off some of their rebellious spirit. Illustration I made for S.A. Harian's book Briardark.

Digital painting of a slender masked man dressed in all black. He's reaching out to the viewer with his clawed right hand, while the left one is folded behind his back. The mask covering his face is white with red areas around the eyes and has a neutral expression. One pale eye is visible through the right eye slit. The figure's lit up by some eerie red lighting from below.

ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN

Did this one mostly because I realised I'd somehow never drawn this version of Diana, even though I love it.

My D&D oc Del, a triton bard, lounging on a plush bed in a dimly-lit room. They are wearing a dark grey slip with a rose pattern, and their legs are up in the air as they smirk knowingly at the viewer. They are picking up an hors d'oeuvre with one hand and holding a small book in the other. A smirking blue tiefling woman, wearing a dark blue wrap dress and delicate body chains, lounges on an opulent velvet settee in a dimly lit dark green room. An illustration of the druid Spriggan, a tree-like cryptid creature, on a dark, muted, and rainy forest background. They are crawling across the forest floor and reaching toward the viewer with one of their four arms. Dark smoke pours from the eye holes of the plain white mask that is their face. My oc Del, a reborn triton bard with white skin and black markings. They're somewhat doubled over and clenching their fingers, looking forward with an angry yell. Smoke billows from their mouth and black tears flow from their eyes as a tall, abstract specter wearing an owl mask looms over their shoulders.

Its my birthday today! 🎈the first year of my thirties has been a wild ride, but I’m glad to still be here & making art, and it would mean so much if you could share my work 🖤
A digital illustation featuring two fairy characters standing together as a flock of pale teal moths swirl around them. One character has with pale blue-green skin, dark eye makeup and long orange-red hair, in blood-red and black helm and armor resembling the carapace of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. They hold the second character, who has pale pink skin, soft features, and fluffy short pink hair, in a pink and green outfit reminiscent of a pink rose. A digital illustration of a horned character rising from the ground inside a circular stone building in high-angle perspective. They are surrounded by and imbued with green fire-like magic. Human skulls swirl around them. Digital illustration of a vampire with long claws in a torn white dress crouched on a ledge looking at the viewer. She is smirking, covered in blood. There is a moonlit gothic cityscape behind her. A digital illustration of a pale-skinned, horned masc-presenting character wearing a black blouse and pants. He is standing against a blue background, surrounded by swirling wind and leaves, gesturing as though he is commanding them

Ranger Kip

wanted them to look capable and professional, more like a scout than an adventurer, again like the barbarian as if they had picked up bits and peices of equipment that they found that suited them personally. Here are the first three in the line up!
A Ranger (Kip) kneels as if inspecting something on the ground, they are wearing a red cape with a cream lining, long hair held back in a bun and in addition to some loose fitting clothes they are equipped with a few pieces of plate-mail. They and their bird companion are both using a longsword for balance. a trio of characters, a barbarian, a sorcerer and a ranger in a lineup.

Commission for @/RamboYeager on Vgen🖤

#art #illustration #Vgen #commission
A painted portrait of a stern-looking character with pale skin and light blond hair tied back in a loose bun. He wears a black eyepatch over one eye, with a long stitched scar running diagonally across their face and nose. His visible eye is light blue-green and fixed in an intense, guarded stare. He's wrapped in a dark cloak with a thick, tan fur collar, fastened at the chest with a metal ring. The background is a dark, textured maroon, adding to the moody, dramatic tone of the illustration.
