just in case anyone needs the confirmation - our class had an editor from a well-known comics publisher come in today and told us she won't even look at the dead bird app anymore when they're looking for artists. hosting your own website for your art (or here on bsky!) is the best right now.

You wake up on a strange sofa with a killer hangover and find this guy staring at you. What do you do?

Hi #PortfolioDay 🎨

I'm Sara, an illustrator who loves drawing fun scenes and character designs! I've done work for TTRPGs, book covers, and dozens of other commissions ❤️

An illustration of a young black girl playing with shining crystals that are connected to magic floating ships. The ship dock is in the cave of a floating island like the ones off in the distance. Everything is lit by a pink to yellow sunset gradient.

An illustration of a steel metallic dragon kneeling in front of a powerful genie as if she's being knighted. The power in the genie's hands is fluctuating wildly as its golden energy flies thru the sky toward that concentrated point.

An illustration of three middle aged women: a sharply dressed elven woman in a suit, a human woman in ancient Greek robes, and a large red tegu lizard woman wearing a "cursed emoji" dress.

An illustration of a blue seafolk cowboy holding up a pen and paper, about to draw a sketch of their friends. Said friends are an annoyed orca woman and a tiger fish seafolk woman, who are both sticking their heads through a mermaid/pirate themed fair photo op. The irony is that they are all currently under the sea already, as indicated by the teal/blue pallet of the background + a building shaped like a giant turtle shell.

Brightly colored illustration. A blue cat magician Cerulean is riding happily on a carousel. All around are confetti and colorful balloons. There are magical stuffed animals holding onto each other or magic wands that have ribbon trails. All of the objects are floating in a liminal space.

Concept poster for "One Last Encore". Features Tài, a serious looking singer with casual dress. He stands dead center with a guitar and a mic stand, staring us down with determination. Behind him are different characters flanking his sides, bowing to the audience. To the left is more colorful and features monsters, a bird woman, a frog guy, and a katydid girl. In the foreground there are monsters' hands clapping. To the right is all sepia and old. There is a woman and two men bowing, but their eyes are closed. The last man with glasses holds a vintage looking radio. In the foreground there are human hands clapping. In the way back is the moon demon, Nguyệt, with a sly smile. The moon lights his backside, and music plays towards the moon.

Turnaround of an anthropomorphic frog character for "One Last Encore"

Several object head dices wielding weapons. However, the D20 is a bard and behind are images and scenarios of successful rolls with wildly exagerated results.

Book cover for the YA book ICEBREAKER by A.L. Graziadei showing the two male main protagonist facing each other and holding onto each others collar.

Digital art of my original characters Aran and Tao as young adults out at night in their local nyc neighborhood kissing. Tao sits on a bicycle and Aran bends down slightly to kiss him.

Mock cover of Suzanne Samin and my upcoming graphic novel. The title still r wads Fear Of Falling but we changed it now to Wherever I’m With You.

The cover shows a brick house fall and Aran and Tao sitting on the rooftop, their legs dangling down the edge, and in big letters underneath them it reads “fear of falling”

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as young teenagers on a hot summer day walking down the streets in their local nyc neighborhood and playing around with a basketball.

Illustration of a happy looking cute kitty character eating a big piece of candy corn while surrounded by more candy corn. Its colors and markings look like the candy corn itself.

Photo of a pastel square blue zine that says "Lucky Buns, Roll for a Cute Bonus" on the cover with an illustrated D20 and a cute bunny face. Another copy is laying opened showing a "how-to" page and cute black and white art inside.

Denver Leary spent the last three (3!!) chapters of KEEPING TIME trying to get the reserved, attractive pianist he used to know to (re)join his band. He FINALLY succeeded except it's, uh, off to a rough start

#KeepingTime #webcomics

🎸 Latest update: keepingtimecomic.com
🎸Start from the beginning

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Three dudes in a band are in their practice space experiencing a full range of emotional reactions to a new band member joining them. The bassist, Stef, crosses his arms surlily, Tomás, the drummer, is an excitable toddler, and Denver holds his hands out at Stef in a 'dude, what gives' gesture as he asks, "Stef, buddy? You wanna say hi back, or...?"

Revenge for @oliverteama.bsky.social on #Artfight!

I feel in love with this design, such gorgeous colours!

A drawing of the character Thiago for ~Qliver_ on Artfight!

Thiago is a black human boy, who is sitting on the floor with his legs splayed out, hands resting on the floor between the legs, staring at the camera with a bright smile. He’s got bandages all over his face, including his nose and both cheeks. He has shoulder-length dreadlocks, an orange cap being worn backwards, an orange tank top with a lighter stripe across it, green shorts, white socks, and black sneakers. There’s little stars around him. The orange cap has a pineapple pin pinned to it.

As a kid, I used to dream of making artworks I wanted to see, I was constantly excited

Now I feel like I just wish I could finish what I started
