Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

compilation of 4 images. | IMG 1: book cover picturing a young woman up close, only torso and the bottom half of her face are visible. her neck is extended as much as possible. her lips partially open, gasping for air. a red, ghostly hand hangs over her neck in a menacing gesture that wants to grab and choke her. hair is in motion and floating. the text says: "A. K. VENRINN - THE ROOTS THAT BIND US - THE ELDERTREES TRILOGY" | IMG 2: A comic page with 4 horizontal panels. The patrons voted to "go with the flow". A muscular half-elven woman Roz and a lean tiefling woman Lav are both pushed out of a fancy establishment. "I lost my first gig because of you!", Roz yells. Unbothered, Lav stretches her arms. "Relax, this job was probably lame anyway. I'll get us a real deal from better people, no sweat." With a door slam, we enter a tavern where a brawl is currently happening which undermines the message that Lav is trying to send by taking Roz to "better people". While Lav looks very proud of herself, Roz is startled by the unexpected violence. Upset, Roz stares at Lav. "Why, you little..." she mutters through her teeth with a shadow over her face, as we see rage slowly rising inside her. The next two choices say patrons can choose: "Trust the process" or "Do not, in fact, trust at all". | IMG 3: a mockup of a kickstarter page graphics for a tabletop game Kinfire Council. it shows a phone floating in front of an orange background, with some slides positioned nearby and showing other elements of the crowdfunding page's graphic design. | IMG 4: a poster illustration of a middle aged elegantly dressed fish-species guy, raging and in the middle of swinging his knife and using blood magic. the title says "from Ghostpunk Nokturn - KIERAT" in a fancy font that seems to be slashed through. the smaller notes at the bottom credit the participators of Actual Play that Kierat is from, on a podcast called podsłuchane.pl

good morning #PortfolioDay !

A digital illustration of a scene from AV Wilkes' 'All the White Spaces'. Jonathan, a trans man and the protagonist, stands in the centre, facing the viewer. He stares ahead in horror, his right hand clutching his throat. From his left eye, strands of bleeding red aurora stretch outwards. These auroras show visions of Jonathan's brothers on the Western Front of the First World War:
- A moustached officer smokes a cigarette in a trench, looking away.
- A soldier is twisted in the remains of barbed wire.
- Three soldiers wear gas masks, emerging from clouds of mustard gas.
- No Man's Land exploded to all hell. A tank is submerged in a shell hole in the distance.
- A skull pressed into the earth.
- A soldier holds a rifle and makes his way across the strait of No Man's Land.

Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers.
Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace.
Right: Two male characters stand in front of each other, staring at the other. One is shorter, and wears a mustard yellow jumper, looking annoyed. The other is taller, with frizzy blonde hair, a purple hoodie, and looks smug. A border of cat toys surrounds them. A cat lies down, arching over the two men, and has a smile on his face.

2 different portrait illustrations side by side.
Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers.
Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels.
Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry.
Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion.
Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it.

A double page spread of a comic. The first page shows a twisted tree in the centre, the space between each branch a panel showing a plague blighting a kingdom. The protagonist called Wolfgang is engulfed in the blighted roots of the twisted tree in the throes of a nightmare. A voice tells him "Take heed, young Durward. These lands know only death, and within its centre, a horror festers. It feasts on all its roots can teach, and what life remains dwindles."
The second page shows a close up of the branches of this twisted tree. Between its panels are images of rot, bodies in body bags, dead fish floating, and the branches are infested with maggots. The voice continues "Soon, there will be naught to satisfy its hunger. But for every poison, there is an antidote."

ines 🧇 wristless @inesvisual.bsky.social · 1d

i think the only thing i don't like visually abt the game is that void space where we meet moros etc. bc the threads in the background don't fit anything in the game but other than that everything is gorgs

started a new hades II run recently, first fresh one after the full release of the game and it's really fun to see what was meant to be in the game from the beginning

#thecuriosities

A digital drawing of my oc Zinthra on bright pinkish red background. She's a woman with ash-blue skin, dressed in gray and black clothes - a hat, veil that cover the upper part of her face, coat, vest, pants and gloves. She's wielding a sword with one hand, with the other she seems to be applying some magic to the weapon. Behind her there is a giant snake, in a ready to attack pose.

Digital illustration by galacticjonah. Pictured is a man with long white-blond hair staring over his shoulder with a piercing gaze. Behind him are the illustrations of a white snake, a mirror with staring eyes and a sharp-tooth grin and a strange arcane diagram.
