Hello! ✨🦭✨
I'm Arja, 30s, illustrator and graphic designer, queer and neurodivergent, a thing for historical fantasy and silly characters.
While I work on something personal, I'm in Dragon Age hell.

Art block SUCKS, and the feeling that you *must* produce art to post on social, to stay relevant, to get recognition... It sucks all the joy away.

I'm sorry you feel that way, and I hope it's just the pain and you'll be able to find some joy again. Posting nothing at all, but enjoying yourself. 💜

It's art and not content. Take the time you need, I speak personally but I'm happy to wait <3

La belle dame sans merci by Frank Bernard Dicksee version of Hans and Henry from Kingdom Come Deliverance Illustration showing the characters from my book Niketas and Ulvar, but mermaid AU where Niketas is a merman. They are both underwater and Ulvar is dying. Illustration of a boy in a dark, spooky, nordic forest. The boy's eyes are blurred. Naked tall trees, their branches almost stretching towards him, towering him. A faint shape of a bird in the upper left corner. There are a few lights of eyes in the forest, watching him. An easter witch flying on a broom towards Blåkulla, a cat is standing on it as well. Both have glowing yellow eyes, staring into the camera. Birds are flying around them.

Halloween is near! It's time to post this marvellous articulated Roman skeleton, presumably meant to be a reminder to enjoy life to the fullest, since pleasure ends irrevocably with death.
In Petronius’ Satyricon, the host of a dinner party brings out a small skeleton with moveable...🧵1/2
Bronze figurine of a walking skeleton with elongated limbs and detailed ribcage, shown against a dark gradient background.

Garden eels lost the sticker design poll for my club BUT I had the urge to finish that sketch anyways... love these guys! They're so fun to watch in person 🦑🐡
a drawing of a bunch of garden eels in blue and orange, all poking their heads into a circle composition. Their heads all meet towards the middle and stare at you with big round eyes.

Their eyes are holographic and look like they’re shining. hand holding a heart shaped white sticker that says “I ❤️ kelp” and kelp fills out the negative space in the heart shape.

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).

Golden Embers - watercolour and digital, 2015 (I think?)

It's been a long time since I posted this vengeful queen. Back when my style was a little more abstract and weird.
A queen with a RBF stands with her hands on a sword's hilt. Her skirt is an abstract view into a kingdom on fire.

Morning studies of today: fawns.

With just construction lines they could be fawns or whippet dogs/Italian greyhounds.

They contain multitudes.

I've enjoyed maybe 20% of DA:I as a whole (and I'm being generous), but I still love this character design ngl

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Portrait of an elven lady turned to the left, but facing the viewer. She's holding a branch of ivy in her right hand, and is dressed in teal and ivory, with a golden eye on her chest. The background is abstract, on the tones of purple.
