A painting illustration of the character Isilaithion - an obsidian wyrm from the World of Warcraft setting in an elven visage with deep brown skin and long black hair. He is posed against a starry, dark background with Azeroth framing his head in the back, one side of it dark and destroyed, and the other yet vivid and lively. He has a relaxed pose, right hand raised to cast a wisp of flame while his left holds a stone snake gently. He wears black robes with gold trimmings and jewellery, the right side of his face shrouded in shadows, almost menacing with the purple glow to his eye; meanwhile, his gaze is drawn to the snake slithering in his hand as he smiles gently.

art of a male Lavellan Inquisitor with his naked back against the viewer, showing off a white, almost glowing branch of vallaslin tattoos running down his spine and arching over his shoulders. his face is obscured by short cropped, curly black hair.

illustration of a celestial called Paris. they are kneeling, mostly bare besides their long golden hair and wings covering them. their wings and body has golden, eldritch eyes appear on them and their plumage contorts into fleshy parts, signifying a corruption they suffered in their childhood. they smile coyly, almost a little sinisterly, with a golden halo bursting outwards behind their head.

$reference sheet of a blue dragon in a dracthyr visage. the lineup depicts his casual clothes, formal wear and armor, both front and back view. Each outfit contains various shades of blues and greys with silver trimmings. On the right, his inventory is depicted, including a fractured, dark ice staff, a purple arcane wand, a journal, an obsidian snake held together with volcanic magic, an assortment of crystals, and a spiky, dark elementium cube artifact.$

Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm Oriel, a nonbinary illustrator from Brazil, currently working with commissions 💛✨

I love drawing characters, fantasy themes and lgbtq+ OCs (mine and other people's), and fanart of favorite characters!

✨ vgen.co/CelticBotan
✨ ko-fi.com/celticbotan

Digital painting commission in colors, fully rendered / mimicking traditional textures. It depicts the commissioner's OC, Aetherhis, thigh-up. She's a white young elf woman wearing a fantasy armor, golden and full of jewelry and coins. Her hair is long and dark brown, and she's looking down at a black crystal floating between her palms, turned up, a soft smile on her lips. Behind her, we can see the arms of a Black Spirit (Black Desert Online supernatural entity) - a pair of hands wearing silvery/iridescent metal gauntlets and a black cloak with golden embroidery. The Spirit has the hands near Aetherhis' face, tenderly. Circling around her head, there's a halo of golden stars, mimicking a gold foil texture

Digital Bust Commission in black and white, mimicking pencil textures. The commissioner's OC, an Aasimar girl. She's black, with long dark locks and glowing white eyes. She has wings siding her face, and stars and constellations in her hair. She's smiling gently at us

Digital full colored, fanart of Ephor Augusta of Septimont, from Wuthering Waves. She's a tall, tan woman with very long, very curly red hair, wearing a Roman gladiator-inspired fantasy armor and a golden sun crown, shining on her forehead. It's nighttime and she's standing thigh-deep in a blue lake, looking at us with a serious expression. Her hair and red shoulder cape is flowing in the wind. The water shines on her from below and around her, hundreds of fireflies glow, framing her in a dream-like manner.

Digital art in colors, mimicking traditional painting and textures (like gouache or oilpainting). Ghost little girl, floating in the air; she has fair skin and shoulder length brown hair, worn in ringlets Shirley Temple Style. She's wearing a white, old-timey dress and ribbon in her hair. She's grumpy, one of her hands against her cheek, as she looks off frame. Near her, it's written GHOST - #(re)DRAWLLOWEEN 2025.

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I'm Gabriel, digital artist painting OCs and fan art with dark fantasy themes, inspired by symbolism, space, religious iconography, and the Tarot.

A portrait in colour of Director Krennic standing in front of his creation, the Death Star, with its targeting systems right behind his head. His hands are clasped together, with his pistol in his left hand. Behind him orange light and dust is coming forward, spilling into the foreground, covering him partially. Behind all of it is the dark starry sky.

A colourful painting of Corvus Corax in his simpler armour with raven skulls on his belts around his waist. He has his right hand on his heart, and in his left hand he holds a whip that seemingly melts into darkness along with the ends of his robes. Red glowing embers are surrounding him, painting his feathery cloak and the feathers of his large wings a red light. The planet of Kiavahr is behind his head as a red halo, and above it is Deliverance.

A coloured painting of my OC Xander, a pale man with long, dark hair, tattoos, and jewelry, sitting on an ornate brown-gold throne. He is wearing a golden draping over one of his shoulders, leaving the majority of his torso visible, along with a deep red draping on his lower body. His tattoos on his arms are visible, with dark fiery motifs, a skull with a parchment coming from its upper jaw, and the astrological symbols of Mars, Jupiter, and the Sun, the rulers of the Zodiac signs Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo, on his arm that he is resting on the armrest of the throne, with his hand facing us. He is wearing golden jewelry: two collars on his neck and three on each of his upper arms, and he is wearing nipple piercings with golden chains on his upper body. Behind his throne a segment of a simple wall is visible on the lower half of the painting, and on the upper half of the painting there are mountains and a blue sky with clouds above the wall. The back of his throne is like a gateway to the darkness of space, it is pitch black with small glowing stars seemingly coming out of it. He is slightly turning towards the side, and his eyes are covered with a whisp of yellowish flare that appear to connect him to the Sun behind his head.

A black-and-white painting of my OC Xander, a man in water up to his waist, approaching towards the viewer. His eyes are not visible, black liquid is pouring out from the place where his eyes should be. He has long dark hair that he shoves back, the sides of his head are shaved and tattooed, and he has several dark flame tattoos down his neck, shoulder and arms, along with a motif of a parchment and a skull holding a parchment with text on his left shoulder. Ports are visible on his body throughout (he is a Space Marine OC). The dark liquid from his eyes have accumulated behind him as he's approaching, and with his hand he seems to direct its flow forward, too. Behind him is a black hole enclosed in an armillary sphere with ornate rings. The front, horizontal ring has the Roman numerals XVI, XVII and XVIIII on it, there are two rings very tightly closing up the black hole, and two outer, concentric rings. The uppermost ring has the texts "XVI - LA MAISON|DIEV", "XVII - L'ESTOILLE" and "XVIIII - LE SOLEIL" on it, along with the alchemical symbols of sulphur, the element of fire, and the Sun, as well as the symbols of the following in pairs: the Sun - the zodiac sign of Leo, Jupiter - Sagittarius, Mars - Aries. The lower part of the rings is lit strongly. On the upper part of the painting, above the rings, the distortion of the black hole is visible on the background stars and interstellar medium as their images get "flattened" around the curved surface of the outermost ring.
