Hi #PortfolioDay ! I'm Lizzi, and I like illustrating birds and fantasy creatures. Sometimes I dabble in pixel art! 💜

Portrait of Gyr, a gryphon with white feathers that wears a silver winged helm with a unicorn horn, and a silver chestplate and wing covers. His eyes glow bright red as he casts magical lightning around him. (oc belongs to Severedfeather)

Artwork showcase of the characters I drew for a DnD manual: Lineages of the Long White Cloud vol 2. It features a ranger based on the harlequin gecko, a bard based on the kokako bird, a kakapo-bear creature, and a rogue based on the sacred kingfisher.

Playing card design featuring the two forms of Atlas the dragon (OC belongs to lyka-ios). In their default form, they have white feathers and golden horns. In their alternate form, they have black fur and dark horns.

Pixel art of Malzeno from Monster Hunter, in flight with its wings spread in front of a full moon. It has white scales, a gray underbelly, crimson wings, and golden horns, claws, and tail spikes.

I played Earth Mother, Sky Father with my friend @gabriellerab.bsky.social last week. It's a duet game. It's really good. It's not mechanically complicated. It's a path through pre-written prompts. One player chooses a prompt for the other player to respond to, asks a...

I drew this marsh crake | kotoreke (Porzana pusilla affinis) for a book on wetland species of Aotearoa NZ. This is a super cryptic species by nature, but I think we might see more of them around if we restore wetlands and cap the dairy industry.

A few years ago I made an icon pack for folks to use (it's free!) and over the years it's appeared on 100+ products (from what folks have linked to me! Mostly books) I like the positive spin of 'human made' vs 'no ai' personally.
