A man sits in his study, contemplating a dark, box shaped artifact, while a dark spirit looms behind him. This was a commission work done for JacenLandry Commission work done for YeetMaur A dark skinned man with dark brown hair and a beard framing his jaw, dressed in a white robe and dark brown pants crouches with one hand on the ground as he swings at demons with his katana. The enemy demons are dressed in red rusting armor that looks worn and damaged. The scene is set in a bamboo forest with a path cutting through it, red banners on either side of the road. It appears to be in the afternoon, with a rich orange glow streaming in between the bamboo. A woman with pale skin, white hair in two braids, and delicate gold tattoo on her face floats in the night sky with a full moon and starry sky behind her. She is wearing a thigh length purple dress with long sweeping sleeves. There are glowing blue lines etched on the fabric of the dress, and two ribbons of light with geometric patterns are trailing behind her. A ring of magic with glowing orbs is circling around her as she floats. Fanart of Avatar Kyoshi from Avatar: the Last Airbender A woman wearing green robes, white and red face paint, and a gold, fan-like headdress with tassels, lies down in shallow water with a tired look on her face. Surrounding her in the water are lilypads and a few boulders and rocks. Also floating near her are two golden folding fans.

Digital artwork. It is a wedding scene, the bride and the groom are both dressed in white and gold, they are surrounded by knights in armor holding their swords above the couple to form an arch. There is a flower arch behind them and flower petals are flying in the air. Digital artwork, fanart of a game "The Talos Principle 2". A robot of red and white colors named Byron is suffering from some kind of malfunction while touching a computer panel. He is on his knees, not able to free his hand. In the distance another robot named 1K is rushing to help, but he is too late. They seem to be inside of a huge artificial structure, but the floor is filled with water, Byron and the computer panel are located on an island of rocks with some pine trees and plants. Digital illustration. It's autumn, the day is gray, the leaves on trees and on the ground are golden yellow. A young woman sits under the tree at the edge of a forest and casts a spell - glowing golden magic around her, it's an illusion of a lot of things and characters, she seems to tell a story. Near her is a black horse that looks at the magic in awe. A cat sneaks behind the tree and looks at them too. Far in the background is a small town with colorful houses and some colorful fields near it, some light shines through clouds and lightens the town. Digital artwork, fanart of the game "Baldur's Gate 3". Illustration of two mind flayers walking and holding tentacles instead of holding hands. The mood is calm and romantic.

Ipomoea is leaping forward, reaching for a star as her legs turn into wood, merging with the tree below as if in an attempt to hold her or perhaps keep her trapped. Behind her, a starry night sky is shown within a golden frame, tree branches jutting out on the outside of the frame. A portrait of Ipomoea resting against a bush of ipomoea flowers. Her hair is spread across the blooms and the leaves, and her left hand gently touches a flower close to the shoulder. Ipomoea is a blue tiefling with gem horns, and long, wavy white hair that sparkles in the shadow. Her eyes have a dark sclera with a white iris. Three small stars shine between the horns. On the right, Thalia leans forward Eirwen with a red flower in her hand. On the left, Eirwen reaches out, her fingers delicately brushing against the petals while her left hand brushes through Thalia's hair. Around them winter is thawing, flowers and foliage emerging still covered in a little snow. Camellia is holding Ametista in her arms as she pierces her heart with her sword. Ametista looks peaceful, her arms wrapped around Camellia's shoulders. In the background there is a scene from their past. Camellia and Ametista are kissing in the gardens, a warm light pouring over the scenery. The artwork has a golden frame with ornamental swords at the bottom.

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."

Illustration of Mallory (he/him), my d&d character. He is wearing a fully black priestly garb that has been undone at the chest, exposing his skin below. A simple pendant of a red crescent moon is revealed. He has long white hair and heterochromia - one blue eye and one dark black, covered in bright specks like the night sky. Another red crescent moon looms in the background. Illustration of Lennon, the protagonist of An Academy for Liars by Alexis Henderson, depicted in a bathroom with opposing vanities. One of the mirrors shows her reflection, and the other is her but distorted. Portrait of Marazhai from Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader Illustration of a tiefling dragon rider soaring over flaming hills. The white dragon is a hybrid with a flaming tail and fur covering its neck and chest, as well as wolf-like ears.

a lone knight swathed in green armour stands in the dark, knee deep in water, holding an axe. from where she holds it, the metal of her weapon is slowly transforming into sprouting leaves and vines. behind her are several weapons that have long since turned into twisting branches that blend in with the surrounding flora. roots that resemble clawed hands cling to the handles of these weapons. a gothic horror au interpretation of jayce and viktor from arcane. a dishevelled jayce stands, holding a bloodstained silver hammer, looking up with watery eyes. there's blood staining his face and splattered on his clothes and armour, with scratches marring his leather coat. his left hand is balled into a fist, rot and blood coating his skin. in the background is a semi-eroded, semi-hollowed out, golden statue of a younger him, illuminated from behind by golden fire. golden claws reach out to this statue. framing this, is a structure made up of pale brick and rotting arches. within the arches flanking jayce on either side, are broken stained glass images of him as piltover's man of progress. for viktor's illustration: viktor stands, looming, holding a staff which carries an eerie, pale flame in its clawed crown. his mask is partially broken, exposing only his human right eye. he holds a clawed hand up to his chest, where red flesh in the vague shape of a heart is exposed, with five puncture marks in it. behind him is a broken, stone statue of his younger self– his face has sliced off the statue and is slipping down. framing him is a stone structure comprised of three main archways, with vein-like ornamentation and clawed hands reaching out to viktor in reverance. within the thicker pillars of this structure, are small arched frames, depicting viktor's transformation through magic. Marcille is sewing a large patchwork quilt of Falin, with her thread being depicted as a long, thin, bloody sinew. Varying shades of red are used in the quilt, with some patches portrayed as parts of the Red Dragon. Falin's skeleton is used as the main component of the quilt's pattern work; her face split into two patchwork pieces at either side of her skull as Marcille slowly sews it back together. Beneath her ribs, is a large centre piece depicting a heart, with a silhouette of Falin lying on top of it. Tiny figures of Laois and Falin as a child stand on the quilt, looking at each other.
