Oliver 💙 @oliverniko.bsky.social · 1d

Hello #PortfolioDay!

I'm Oliver, a queer and disabled artist/writer based in the UK. I love to paint with ethereal lighting and playing with lost edges.

Whilst my illnesses are too severe for work, I still take part in charity projects and mutual aid (see below) and happy to be invited!

A digital landscape painting with oil like brushes. Two characters kiss underwater, holding hands as they float through the water. Cyrus, left, is a tall Black man and wears fantasy travel like clothes with knee boots, baggy trousers and a sleeveless jacket with fur around the neck. He has long red dreadlocks floating around him in the water and pointed ears. Niko, right, is a slim light skinned man with long wavy navy hair. He wears blue toned princely attire with thigh high leather boots and golden details. He has a long pointed ear with a red earring. The piece has blue tones with bright warm sun reflecting off the riverbed background and off their clothes.

A digital semi realism painting with oil like brushes, showcasing Sothis, a youthful goddess with light skin and long, wavy emerald green hair in thick ponytails. She wears a blue purple dress with a black leather chest piece and golden details down her torso and on a thick circlet. She holds her hands over Garreg Mach, a castle in mountains surrounded by dramatically shaped clouds that swirl around her. Behind her are more natural clouds hit with sunlight. This casts Sothis in a golden glow from the side and beneath her, casting highlights on the lower half of her face.

Older depictions of Sylvain and Felix from Fire Emblem Three Houses in a digital oil style. They sit together on a wooden bench on a balcony, looking at warm moonlight together. A wall is behind them with an open window on a hatch, and leaves dangling around the building. A table is nearby with cloth, a pitcher and glasses. Felix wears turquoise robes with his canon boots, a stick propped next to him. His navy hair is longer, tied into a low side ponytail. Sylvain sits on his right, wearing a reddish brown jacket, a turquoise waistcoat and black trousers with knee high brown boots. He leans to Felix with a hand on his hip. He has a beard.

A digital oil like painting of Sorey and Mikleo from Tales of Zestiria in a realism style. Sorey carries Mikleo in a bridal carry, fingers spread as though pleading. His face is covered in dark shadows and he smiles sadly with blood dripping down his face, one leg on a tree stump and the other shown in perspective from above on the forest floor. Sorey wears his white cape with feather details and buckled boots over dark baggy trousers. Mikleo is sprawled lifeless in his arms, his own arms limp, blood dripping down on one and through the chest of his turquoise and white jacket with gold embellishments. There are leafless trees behind them against a cool backdrop, and dying flames are on the forest floor.

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.

Hello #PortfolioDay 👋

I'm Platyps, a hobby artist from the UK - I love drawing fantasy and TTRPG characters, my OCs, and sometimes fanart 🐉🎲

Digital drawing of a half-elf monk standing among some trees, resting his hands on the trunks of two trees that form an arch over his head, and peering curiously at something out of the left side of the frame. He has blond hair, cut short and spiked up at the front, blue eyes, and pointed ears. He is wearing a blue neckerchief, wrist bracers, no shirt, a green martial arts sash, and loose blue trousers obscured by branches in the foreground.

Digital drawing of a shirtless bearded half-orc man, with scars across his body, sitting on a stone throne and lit by a shaft of light emanating from the top left of the frame. He is resting his left hand on the arm of the throne, and holding a sword in his right, with its tip resting on the ground in front of him. His left foot is resting on the skull of a sabre-toothed cat-like creature. He is looking fiercely towards the camera.

Digital drawing of Edward Elric, main character of the anime & manga "Fullmetal Alchemist." The drawing depicts a young man with golden hair and eyes, worn with bangs on either side of the face and a single braid at the back. He is wearing a tucked-in vest that shows his metal right arm, a thick leather belt, and dark trousers. He is standing with his hands in his pockets, moodily looking off to the right of the frame.

Digital drawing of a muscular man standing in a lake, with the water level coming up to his hips. The skin of his arms is discoloured and blue, with strange runes etched on them, and he is wearing leather bands hung with charms around them. His hair is also coming through blue, and he is looking towards the top left of the frame.

An oil painting on linen. A man leans back looking off right. His eyes and forehead are cast in light. His young child leans, half asleep, against him.

A digital portrait of a woman with a mass of curled hair is spotlit by a harsh light from above. Tight brushes around the face, give way to loose and abstract brushstrokes around the perimeter of the subject.

A portrait of a man interrupted while playing guitar in a living room. He looks at the viewer. Day light from behind diffuses into the room while a lamp lights the figure from the left.
