If this is how Israel treats a internationally-known white European citizen, imagine how they are treating Palestinians every day

In prison, she is held in different cells.
Sometimes a cell of around 15 square meters with 13 other prisoners. There are many days-four? Time blurs together, there were no clocks. They receive hardly any food and no clean water during their entire captivity, but are forced to drink from the tap in the toilet sink, where something brown flows. Several became ill.
- You felt that you couldn't 'afford' to cry because you were so dehydrated.
- It was so hot, like 40 degrees. We begged the whole time: Can we have water? Can we have water? In the end, we screamed. The guards walked in front of the bars the whole time, laughing and holding up their water bottles. They threw the bottles with water in them into the trash cans in front of us.

Hi #portfolioday
I'm Newt, a freelance artist, roleplayer and a folklore nerd based in Prague, Czechia.

a cropped detail of a digital illustration showing a crazed village woman mid-transformation into a corvid demon. the light from the moon is red and she is levitating in a corn field, her body contorting and a crazed smile adorning her face.

a digifal illustration depicting a sunlit forest clearing on which a ruined fort stands. its built of white stone with ivy slowly overtaking it a d through out the image, there are a few goblins scattered, patrolling the grounds. the one we see most clearly, on the foreground carries a spear and a grin on his face.

portrait of a brown haired pale man done in the style of an old looking oil painting. it is contained on a thin oval frame a d lit by a single point above. it shows a man wringing out his hands on a dirty rag. he is dressed in a worn white shirt, daek waiscoat and a pale yellow necktie. his hair is falling loosely around his face in a messy ponytail and gis face bears marks of decay. his eyes are glazed over like eyes of a corpse and he has the look of tightly concealed anguish on his face.

digital illustration depicting riders dressed in decorated, east slavic folklore inspired garb, mounted on giant goats, flying thru the sunset-lit orange sky. they have gleefull expressions on their face and are adorned in many shiny pieces of jewelery.

sharing my two favorite posters from Drew Struzan (probably not a coincidence that they are both del Toro ventures... @realgdt.bsky.social knows the good stuff)

rest well Drew, thank you for all the inspiration 🖤

an illustration for the Hellboy movie by Drew Struzan. Hellboy stands front and center with the rest of the cast fanned out behind him, all in warmer hues, and the villains imposing in blue hues in front of him.

a movie poster by Drew Struzan for the movie Pan's Labyrinth. Ofelia is embraced by the faun, all in turquoise and green, as pink hued fairies look on next to them.

(digitally) illustrated and colored portrait of the DnD Sorcerer/Paladin character Azune Nayar (Critical Role, Campaign 4), amidst a subtly bordered frame; human with dark auburn hair (pulled into a braid that rests on his right shoulder), with scruffed mustache and bear that extends along the sides of his face, very light eyes (that resemble a purple-pink sunset on blue ocean water, with a white pupil) and a reddened scar-like birthmark across the left side of his face (as well as his neck and some of his ear), while also bearing a tattoo on his right bicep that reads "Have Mercy on Those I Send You" around that arm — he wears a metal breastplate, chainmail, shoulder plate, and leathered gloves, as well as a brown (cleric styled) hood and orange cape beneath it, while wearing a pendant (canonically a child's bracelet, but the illustration presents it as a three-pieced sigil, as it was illustrated before such information was disclosed). He is posed (seemingly) in action, with one arm raised and his cape wrapping around him, as he looks to the right of the viewer with a solemn yet focused expression.

(digitally) illustrated and colored portrait of the DnD Druidic character Thaisha Lloy (Critical Role, Campaign 4), amidst a subtly bordered frame; orc woman with muted green skin and curly dark brown-red hair (large and over the shoulders, with graying hair sprouting from her roots, and one braided lock framing each side of her face), white colored eyes amidst black sclera w/bright orange eye makeup around them — she wears a sash-like garment (bright orange) that wraps around her upper arms and neck, beneath a dark red shawl and grayed top. She is posed with her head slightly tilted up and with a composure, looking to the left of the viewer as she is garmented in ivory garments (nose ring, toothed earring, and large beads at the end of her two braids).

(digitally) illustrated and colored portrait of the DnD Paladin character Vaelus (Critical Role, Campaign 4), amidst a subtly bordered frame; dark elf (drow) woman with pale violet skin and straight white hair (long) and a sprawling scar of bright ultraviolet colors (white, pink, teal, purple), her left ear is visibly cut or disfigured, bright teal colored eyes — she wears a chainmail face covering that obscures the lower half of her face below the eyes, and wears leathered black nun-adjacent clothing, with a hooded covering and a (cleric styled) overcoat, adorned with white lacing that sprawls along and up to her neck (as well as along opposite sides of her chest), and her hair is pulled in two long strands atop her clothing that run along her face, with the rest beneath her hood. She looks directly at the viewer with her head slightly tilted down, with a piercing and intense expression in her eyes (that can only mean good things).

(digitally) illustrated and colored portrait of the DnD Bardic character Halandil Fang (Critical Role, Campaign 4), amidst a subtly bordered frame; orc man with bright green skin (slightly yellow tinted) black hair that pulls in front of his forehead and around his neck in waves (with more visible gray and white streaks from the roots, and throughout his hair), with mustache and beard that naturally extending up and along his face, blue-green eyes — he wears a bardic outfit, layered atop a collared white shirt, amidst reddened sleeves that billow beneath capped shoulder sleeves (bright orange-yellow), and an emobroidered chest piece of toughened velvet and silk (darkened red and pale-orange), whilst wearing the belted strap of a leathered bag, tied with a bright teal-blue bandana. He has a expression that reads between pleased or melancholic, as he looks to the right of the viewer.

worth noting that the linework for these portraits were done before the campaign started so lots of details are not taken into account, like vaelus' height or azune's pendant. i tried including his tattoo but had to create simple design since there's no official one yet :,)
