Awesome, well I'm glad for any reduction at all. And similar experience for me. Didn't notice it much even six months ago, but it's been more of a problem of late.

The secondary illo for the HBR Performance Improvement Plans Case Study. I've never worked in a corporate environment, but those PIPs sound ✨uncomfortable✨.

Thank you! I've just started using Pinterest for reference and inspiration and the AI results seem to increase in frequency every week.

Ugh, The Twilight Zone is the BEST. This "Masks" one does a great job at capturing the feel of the episode.

Happy #PortfolioDay again! I'm also Jori, the fantasy/scifi/cyberpunk illustrator. Hoping to include more of the "fantasy" genre in this portfolio, but who has the time! Right now I do lots of work for Catalyst Game labs and the Shadowrun IP.

Final cover art by Jori Bolton for the Shadowrun novella, The Mosaic Run, by Jennifer Brozek. The artwork shows two young women running down a narrow corridor in a server room while a security drone pursues and fires upon them. One woman aims a firearm at the drone.

Illustration by Jori Bolton of a dwarf woman wearing a flowing red cap and firing a crossbow at a leaping vampire-like creature in a desert cave for the Shadowrun TTRPG book, Astral Ways.

Illustration of a dwarf man and an ork woman in a dark, underground, abandoned subway station being used as a laboratory. The dwarf man grimaces and holds a hand up to glowing scratch marks on his face, while the ork woman in the background shines a flashlight at an apparently immobile rat monster held up by metal posts and connected to glowing orange tubes. Illustration by Jori Bolton for Catalyst Game Labs and the Shadowrun TTRPG.

Cover art for Shadowrun: Margin Calls, a TTRPG gaming supplement from Catalyst Game Labs, with an illustration by Jori Bolton showing a young girl walking with a glowing purple/blue coyote and looking towards the background of the image where a massive, diamond-shaped sign has fallen from the top of a high-rise onto a parked delivery van, crushing the van's roof and part of the windshield. Police stand around while a forensic team examines the vehicle.

In the top left is a low angle shot of a woman with white hair in a living room, but most of the shot is taken up by a cat's face looking at the screen.

Third from the left shows a woman in long sleeved active-wear reaching over to the side in a lunge, in front of a potted plant, a yoga ball, and a fitness riser, and then far right shows a woman in a wheel-chair also reaching over to the side.

Love it, so charming! Don't think I've seen that dragon before. It's a really nice piece.

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Alena, a freelance illustrator who loves painting things with character, capturing little story moments. Working mainly - but not only - in card/board games & book covers.

Take a look at what I do at www.ajinak.cz 🎨

A collage of digital paintings: A sneaky red dragon above a forest stream, examining a little garnet. Two trios of bookmark illustrations, one centering around scenes (viking/valkyrie/valhalla, dwarf and swords, innkeeper and his rat inside a tavern), the other around female characters (vampire ball, steampunk, dark fantasy and magic). A cat warlock with glowing dual-bladed sword in a dusk scene. Arthas as a puppet paladin held by a boy, with red rose petals swirling around. An albino murloc pirate strolling a sunny beach, grinning, holding a sabre and a bamboozled fish.

Beautiful work. Such a lovely treatment of light on the figures.

Jori Bolton | Illustrator @joribolton.bsky.social · 1d

Wowwwwwww! 😱

Jori Bolton | Illustrator @joribolton.bsky.social · 1d

Unreal man. These blow my mind. And almost give me a heart attack at the thought of painting one of these scenes.

Your tattoos are so good and so Nic-coded. I know sh** about tattoos so maybe this is literally every tattooist but I love seeing artists' voices come through so strongly in their tattooing.
