Hey, #PortfolioDay !

I'm Polaris! I'm a writer/artist, usually working on cyberpunk and dark fantasy art, along with a "horror comedy + rock n' roll" thing I have - and some fanarts as well 😉

A bust illustration of my original dark fantasy character, a vampire lord called István. He is tall and pale, with pale blue eyes and long, dark wavy hair. His lips are dark red and are stained with blood. He is wearing black, simple clothes and a long, wide red cape, with sharp shoulders. He is leaning on his sword in front of him, but still carrying a regal posture. On the background, there's a forest during twilight, with orange fading to dark purple. A half-body illustration of two original cyberpunk style characters of mine, Alastor and Nyx. Alastor is standing behind Nyx, on the left. He is taller and is holding a silver gun, while wearing red clothes (pants and jacket) and a dark blue shirt written "burn it down" in red, as well as leather, spiked gloves. He has a barcode tattoo on his right forearm. His hair is on his shoulders, bright purple, while his eyes are golden. Nyx is standing in front of him, on the right. She is smaller and paler, with the left side of her body covered in burn scars (from her face down to her waist and her whole arm), also having a prosthesis on her left hand. She is wearing a black turtleneck, sleeveless cropped top with pool blue neon details and black pants, as well as leather gloves. She has two katanas strapped to her back and carries a gun on her left hand, while reaching for the sword with the other. She has a tattoo written "Huntress" on her belly, and has pool blue short hair and bright purple eyes. On the left side of her head, she has a chrome plaque instead of hair. The background is a simple black and neon one, with things written as graffiti along the lines of "no gods". A half-body illustration of two original characters of mine, Mick and Angie. Mick is on the left, playing bass, while Angie is holding him from behind while carrying a microphone so they can sing together. Mick is tall and pale, with black hair shorter on one side and with a longer fringe on the other. He's got blue eyes and a sort of skull halloween makeup on his face (circles around his eyes, black lips, two "lightning strikes" on his cheekbones), as well as having the left side of his chest black see-through and showing his bones, along with his left arm and hand, in a very halloween-y makeup fashion. He also has bullet scars along the area of his sternum. He is shirtless, wearing a cropped, black leather jacket with spikes and pins, as well as black leather pants and a large leather belt with rounded spikes - just like the leather collar around his neck. Angie is on the right - she has literal white skin, like a sheet of paper, and dark green eyes, as well as long, flowy strawberry blond hair. She is wearing a white sleeveless shirt with a black leather top underneath, along with leather red pants and a black bandana tied to one side, while the other side has a silver chain with many crosses hanging from it. She is also wearing a wide, black belt and black wristbands with rounded spikes. On her shirt, you can barely see it written in red "rebel rebel". On the background, it's just a simple color fade from blue to purple, with the lyrics "I put a spell on you" and a little heart written in neon behind them. They are lit with neon green from Mick's side and neon pink from Angie's side. A portrait illustration of Anakin Skywalker from the Star Wars movies. He is smiling under a night light, and the background is just a simple colored purpleish blue fading from lighter to darker, littered with yellow stars. It's supposed to be a more realistic style of art.

As I always do ('cause I like playing with layer modes 😅), this one has 2 other versions as well

The "no blood" version and the "neon blood" version hahaha
(the blood layer was a placeholder messy test thing but I ended up liking how it looked 🫠👍)

A half-body illustration of my original dark fantasy character, a Vampiric Lord called István. He is casually standing with one of his hands close to his lips, while the other holds a sword (poorly drawn sword for reasons of: the guard of the sword kept getting in front of important stuff in his hand, so I decided not to draw it and it looks more like a metal stick than anything else). He is tall, strong but skinny, and very pale, with dark black wavy hair down to his waist. His eyes are surrounded by darker black/wine colors, while the irises glow in red. His lips are of the same dark wine color. His forearms are black, with black veins going up his arms almost to his shoulders, and you can also see the same black veins going up his torso from his lower waist. His hands are actually sharp, skinny and long claws, not human. He is wearing black leather pants that almost look like armor and black leather embellished belt, with silver and red gems details. Behind him, you can barely see the shape of black, bat looking big wings. The background is a simple, lighter color and the lightning is during the night, with highlights and rim lights in bright red.

The background is a simple, lighter color and the lightning is during the night, with highlights and rim lights in bright red.

☕️Final Prompt/Happy Halloween!🍰

For coffee cake, since it was the prompt that was going to fall on Halloween, I thought it would be fun if she was so comforting she worked with ghosts/spirits! Although this one is so late, I’m still so happy I got to finish this piece!

And a quick little WIP on Kathleen's Hunter illust I'm working on to go with István's Monster illust 😉🖤

| #oc #ocsky #wip #artsky #krita #darkfantasy |
A screenshot of my workspace on the drawing software Krita. On the right, you can see the color wheel, brushes and layers. On the left, you can see the canvas. It shows a sketch with mostly finished lineart above it, of a woman with long, pale blonde hair walking in the woods with a sword on her hand and the moon behind her. The color palette is very messy and painted to have just an overall idea of the colors on the drawing, being mostly black, dark brown, pale yellow for the hair, variations of gray and blood red. She's an original dark fantasy character of mine, Kathleen Rose, a vampire hunter.

Miguel may be a bit cringe, but I love him

The image shows a stylized digital portrait of a man in a neon, cyberpunk aesthetic. The color palette consists mainly of cool shades of blue with splashes of purple and orange. The character has dark, slightly wavy, medium-length hair, stern facial features, and an expression. His eyes glow white. He is wearing a jacket with wide lapels and metal elements, under which a T-shirt is visible.

Went to MASP today. One of my favorite pieces was definitely from Clarissa Tossin. Instead of a painting, it was the walls. Based on the water lines from the flood that happened in Brazil earlier this year. Here it is, my hand represents my height (5'4''):

My mom (an amazing artist) drew this today, to teach me about perspectives and how to draw buildings.

Give her sketch some love 🩵🔁🩵

P.S: she hid a cat in the sketch somewhere as well, can you spot it ?

My 1st art on a tablet was of The Crow - been some time I don't work on one and this month is fitting for it. @trueref.bsky.social has a great reference challenge for Oct, which I used here 😉

#thecrow #artsky #illustration #art #TrueRefDT009 #fanart
A full body illustration of the character Eric Draven from The Crow, as in the 1994 movie, played by Brandon Lee. The illustration is in black and white. Eric is wearing a black long sleeve shirt, which is torn on the chest and shoulder, as well as black pants, black combat boots, and black tape around his torso, forearms and hands (some around his fingers, including the one where a wedding ring would be). He is also wearing a small wedding ring on a necklace around his neck. His hair is black, shoulder length, and covering part of his face, painted with the iconic black and white crow makeup (extended black lips on a smile, eyes surrounded in black in diamond shapes, extending to his forehead and cheeks). His expression is serious, eyes having a wet look. He is crouched, almost as if perched like a bird, on a tombstone - you can only see its upper part, but it reads "Shelly Webster". He has his hands crossed over the top of the tombstone, almost touching her name. The background is black, while he and the tombstone are surrounded in white, with light rain falling over him and the grave. Behind him, there are a few strokes of the brush, very faint and low opacity, which remind of bird's wings. (for the rain, I observed as reference an original art made by James O'Barr, because I've never really figured out how to draw rain without looking like a mess and, voilà, it worked)
