A gothic cathedral rises up out of ancient ruins, sickly green smoke spilling from its doors

A werewolf breaks out of fiery chains; above, three hooded knights with silver weapons gather in the light of a full moon.

🌸 presentation post 🌸

I'm Chloé, 2D/concept artist in the video games industry & comic artist ✨

I draw lots of women - most of them sapphic -, I love lineart & vibrant colors, & I'll sometimes be annoying about playing Go

Drawing of a mermaid resting, lying on the ground of a quiet cove, surrounded by plants and flowers, part of her tail and hair in water, while she gently watches three ducklings swimming among the lotus flowers

Drawing of me as a witch floating in the night sky, wielding necromancer magic, holding a skull, wearing a witch hat, spiderweb pattern tights, a jean jacket, fishnet top, big goth shoes

one-page comic, black and white and grayscale
panel 1 : close up of a woman's hand, wearing rings, on an old spellbook page
panel 2 : same woman's hands conjuring some black fire
panel 3 (big) : woman sitting on the floor where a pentagram is drawn, with skulls and candles, while a tiny demon with horns seems to jump out of the spellbook right on her legs, visibly very happy
the woman's wearing converse-like shoes, jeans, a tope revealing her shoulders (and a big tatto on the left one), she has a choker necklace and hair loosely tied into a messy bun
text : Look. There's never a perfect time to cast your first spell. Especially as a self-taught witch. Reckless ? Sure. But the truth is... I needed a friend."

drawing of a woman entering some kind of cyber glowing bat, in a room full of old looking computers and wires and cables
there's a huge aquarium in the background with fishes and deepsea-like algae, etc.
the woman is linked to a machine by cables in her left thigh and neck, her eyes glow green and her skin too in some places

Hello, #PortfolioDay!

I’m Iga and I’m an artist based in Scotland. I specialise in character artwork and love to play with texture.

Open for commissions and freelance work! Feel free to reach out directly, as I’m in the process of updating my website.

A selection of nine portraits - mostly commissioned by various clients as well as two personal pieces. They’re all done digitally in painterly style with visible brushstrokes and deep colours. There are vampires, vieras, elves, lizards, dragons and other humanoid but ethereal creatures.

Two painted book cover illustrations side by side, both showing a pale blond man and a brown-haired woman. The one on the left shows the figures lying down on the dark ground as they gaze longingly at one another. The one on the right has the man holding the woman in a dramatic pose as she awakens to her vampiric powers. Illustrations commissioned by Cat Rector for her novels: Coal Gets In Your Veins and Learning to Bleed.

Two watercolour portraits displaying loose brushwork. On the left - Maelle from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a young girl with red hair in a ponytail. On the right - a woman with dark hair and flushed cheeks.
