It's #PortfolioDay !

I make work in a variety of mediums as well as create/curate art resources to help fellow creators - check out my Art Guides Megathread for the (always free) ones I myself made.

✨ Website - links & info
✨ Ko-fi - resources & stuff you can buy

DMs open. You are welcome here.

Two men sit on a chair, one straddling it sideways on top of the other's lap, one leg dangling over the chair's arm. They lean against each other, the lower supporting the second, leaning into each other as if falling asleep, heads touching, limbs falling limp. Meanwhile the chair they sit in catches fire, threatening to consume them completely. One of the men regards the flames with unconcerned, open eyes, the other remains unmoved, as if the fire cannot wake him.

A man stands, staring directly at the viewer from a low angle. His left arm is a cybernetic prosthetic with visible machine parts. He is wearing worn-out clothing reminiscent of Vietnam era combat clothing mixed with punk aesthetic and advanced future tech. Over one shoulder is slung a mix of AK-47 and electric guitar, the neck extending down the barrel. He stands in a foggy scene surrounded by pipes, tubes, electric panels, and wires. He is smoking a cigarette. While there is nothing in the image to suggest this, you now know his name is Truant.

An illustration of a fairy standing on top of a bobbin of thread. She is wearing a patchwork skirt and a flowing gathered top. She has an apron through which she has threaded pins and needles and she is carrying a thimble within which she has gathered scraps of fabric and thread. Behind her is a tomato shaped pin cushion. Her hair is fashioned to resemble two yarn balls. Her purple and cyan wings are spread out behind her.

A mythological Nixie, or water spirit, represented as an attractive nude woman with aquatic features floating underwater amid bubbles that swirl around her. Her eyes are golden and her skin is teal with traces of shimmering iridescence on scales and fins. She smiles at the viewer sweetly, her hands framed around her face, her body leaned forwards with legs trailing behind her.

Digital painting of a winged centaur. He has curly hair and facial beard, and his horse half is white, and extremely furry. His human half is covered in tattoos and white body hair, and he is wielding a mace/hammer weapon that is in the shape of a horse head.

Digital painting of a pterosaur-like beast called "Wyvern Of The Sea". Its head, neck and upper torso is mostly white, it has a long yellow bill with sharp tips similar to a snapping turtle, a crest on top of its top beak, and an expandable pouch on its throat, similar to a pelican. There is a voluminous pouch of expandable sac around its neck and chest, similar to a Frigatebird, but it seems more decorative than functional. Its lower torso is a black color, with strong bird legs, that have blue webbed feet, similar to the bird Booby. Its tail is long, with fins running on its side, and on its tips.

It has wings that are more webbed than they are feathered, with a protruding thumb similar to a bat's, and three noticeable digits that are flat than they are wiry. It seems this creature is more reptilian and hydrodynamic, than it is avian and capable of flight.

Digital painting of an elegant merman. There is a glow of royal blue coming out of a cavity in middle of his upper torso in the middle that extends to his abdomen, and out of two columns of holes in his bottom portion. His tail seems to be a hollow flesh and the blue magic extends out to form his fish tail. There is a royal blue sword on top of the character; the sword is slim and sharp, and the blade is sculpted to have an impaled fish on its end.

fairy with giant blue morpho butterfly wings and a faint halo, holding a lantern that attract butterflies.

Art of my Elden Ring OC, Grave Goddess Megaera. A leporine woman with amber eyes, long golden hair and purple fingertips dressed in purple, gold and silver. Miniature versions of Base Serpent Messmer’s winged serpents are curled around her hand and head. A spectral winged rabbit flies beside her. Grave Violets and Skeletal Flowers bloom around her.

Elden Ring inspired artwork depicting Godwyn, Prince of Death wielding Death Lightning. Facing away from him is his sibling Megaera, Goddess of Graves (my OC) in her Twinbird transition form. Both of them have a hand hovering around a golden aura of Grace. A faint image of an eclipse sits behind them.

Art of Revenant from Elden Ring: Nightreign with ghostly skeletal arms around her.
