It works! (sometimes 🫠)

Thanks Dakota!! It means a lot :)

Rod Mendez @rodmendez.bsky.social · 4d

Thanks!! It's not that complicated: mostly get an overall mood for the scene and paint thinking on light/shadow for simple forms, then add some texture, and done 😁!

Ilustração digital de uma pessoa no banheiro próxima a uma pia e um espelho, dando a língua para o reflexo, enquanto o reflexo sai de dentro do espelho e também dá a língua, ambos de forma boba e infantil. A pessoa está de cabelos molhados, e enrolada em uma toalha. Arte por @livousart.

I'm Elhyana, french fantasy illustrator, available for work

I also work on my little book project "Tales of the Knights" on my free time
Portfolio: elhyana.carrd.co
E-mail: [email protected]

In the city of Noshtraad, Alyshia, a knight in shiny armor, is walking away from the bakery, her helmet full of pastries, and a big smile on her face

In the middle of the forest at dusk, Alyshia and Elhyana are fighting furiously. Alyshia, shield up, is blocking a very strong attack, boosted by magic from Elhyana

In a crowded market in a little town, Arthur is looking at a merchant's product, oblivious to what Elhyana is doing walking past him and stealing one of his map in a very slick way

Standing in the middle of the street, Elhyana is holding a wanted poster she just ripped from the town board, she looks pissed at the rendition of her face

Thanks!!

Thanks!! The card name is called Ocean Witch. The game usually has this red palette for creatures and they asked the scenery to have a sunset. So, basically to be a bit different from the typical monster card, I had her perfoming a kind of ritual on the sea. The greens are to contrast the red.

Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)

Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

Here's another environment! I saw a photo and decided to do something inspired by it.
