Mad 🔜 FanX Salt Lake A544 @madbrake.bsky.social · Jan 14

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm a freelance illustrator specializing in animal and fantasy art. :) I love working on book covers and just about anything involving Creatures.

A mostly black and white illustration of a person covered in dark moth wings crouched in a branch with chin in hand. The red eyes on the moth wings are the only color in the piece. Ash-like speckles dot the background.

An illustration of Estinien from the video game Final Fantasy XIV raising a large lance above a castle. Behind him the dark head of the dragon Nidhogg can be seen with a glowing red eye. A border with crude dragon emblems and spark spikes surrounds the piece.

An illustration of an otter rising from stylized waves holding a large pearl in its hands. A stylized sun shines behind the otter's head and seaweed flanks the piece.

An illustration of a wolf rising above three swords while holding another sword in its mouth. The moon shines behind its head with stylized rays shining from it in light blue and gold. A wood-like border carved with wolf heads, moons, and other decorations borders the piece.

Does anyone know who the cover artist for this is??? Very serious imaginary bets are being placed

Begging authors for fewer artist characters who can recreate from memory something striking that they saw and more artist characters who agonize over trying to recreate something they saw and it never coming out quite right and becoming increasingly frustrated over the lack of reference material

A digital drawing. Portrayed is Zero from Final Fantasy 14. It is a character clad in black and blue with a pointy hat. She is holding a scythe behind her back. The picture is framed to resemble a playing card, with borders, numbers, etc.

A digital illustration of Princess Zelda from Tears of the Kingdom, portraying her whole body in a floating pose, gently holding the master sword which is glowing in golden light. Zeldas design has been modified a bit to mix her with her dragon form, she has bright teal dragon horns, dark scaly arms and legs and a long white dragon tail. The piece has taken some inspiration from Mucha's 'Spring' with the pose and nouveau-ish style. The background shows a cloudy warm teal sky, bordered with golden ornamental floral patterns

A digital illustration of a dark themed scenery of an abandoned train in the forest, surrounded by cats. The cats eyes are glowing and theres dim orange light peeking through the trees

A digital illustration depicting portraits of my 3 main characters, kinda art nouveau style inspired with ornamental patterns bordering in each portrait
