Hi #PortfolioDay

This is my first one so not sure what to write but I like ttrpgs, games and art! Teaching myself new skills all the time.

Low saturation art of woman in oversized suit walking down stairs. Her face is in shadow as well as everyday objects floating around her head. Her eyes are bright purples and reds and leave a trail of color around the floating objects.

Digital art of a girl in a suit skirt set with leg warmers holding a glass watering can full of red liquid. She is surrounded by plants and ghosts with horns which match her own ghostly horns and tail.

A knight in armor, leather hat and a layered dress. Her outfit is shades of maroon pink and red with a veil in bright red being pulled over her face. An arrow has gone by her face and in her chest piece leaving pink sparks on impact. She holds her sword low to her side.

A digital drawing of a woman in a sci-fi outfit with a robotic arm. Her face is covered by a veil, she has a short cropped jacket, black body suit, ripped leggings with fish net underneath and wade covers over hiking boots. A small than scale silhouette of her mecha is projected in the background. In the right corner an illustration of her without a veil is shown she has pointed ears and fangs + patches that list multiple blood types. In the upper left corner reads : NAME:[UNKNOWN] CALLSIGN:V4MP

hello, #portfolioday! 🐸🌿

my name is ilona and i'm a digital artist who is obsessed with his OCs and anything TTRPG, gothic or vintage related!

currently my commissions are open on vgen and i sometimes release NPC portraits on patreon and ko-fi 💗

hortensjjja.carrd.co

A digital fantasy illustration of a smiling fey-like woman sitting next to a round display window with dark wood frames, full of books and a potted plant with round white flowers on shelves. There are two books with visible titles, "Old Gods in Yivezheng" and "The Great Earth Eater".
She has a warm green complexion with some moles on her face, big teal eyes looking at the camera and brown medium-lenght braids. Kelp-like horns grow from behind her head and between the horns there is a gold headdress shaped like a chrysanthemum. She wears big round gold earrings. The dress she is wearing is dark green with white rectangular collars and brown leather parts such as a corset and cuffs. There are gold buttons on her puff sleeves. She is holding a big nondescript open book with one hand and her other hand is close to her face.
The background is dark brown with different warm color tones. There are paper triangle flags hanging behind her but in front of the bookstore. End ID.

A red-black monochrome digital illustration of a portrait-size feminine character with long wavy hair and striking red eyes, looking at the camera while smiling softly. They have horns made up of hair, an earring with a ribcage, a choker and a frilly top. They have one hand up, holding a stylized heart-shaped scissor with little horns portruding while their hand is dripping in blood. Behind the character's head, there's a big anatomical heart drawn in hatches and a textured circle in the background. Overall, the background is black and colors used for details are intense red. End ID.

A digital interpretation of a painting titled "Dionisia" by Pierre Auguste Cot, featuring my OC - Eshmara. The character has a warm green complexion with striking big orange eyes, smiling softly at the camera while holding a plethora of flowers on her lap and sitting on a tree stump. She has double pointy ears that are garnished by yellow-orange grapes with leaves, and a branch-like horns, also with autumn leaves, growing out from her head which is decorated bountifully by wavy auburn hair reaching just under her shoulder blades. She has a few moles on her face - two above her lips on her right and one above her eye on her right.
She is dressed in a white shirt hugged by a scarf-like pink cloth that goes beyond the view in the left corner. Her long skirt is orange with a brown apron that holds the flowers together on her lap.
The background is dark, seemingly in a forest away from the sun, primarily greens and browns. There's a faint halo-like circle behind the character's head to give the character better focus. End ID.

Painterly bust portrait of a kindly earth genasi woman. She has a soft, sweet smile. Her skin is warm grey with a pearlescent sheen where the light hits. Her hair is dark brown, curly and arranged in a messy low bun. She wears a purple cloak with a thin gold border over a simple cloth tunic in an orange shade. Her jewellery is gold: sunburst earrings and a pendant of the Church of Lathander. The background is a pastel sunrise sky.

Blackbeard tarot card painting from OFMD. A kraken tentacle emerges from the sea and has begun circling him. A rapier pierces his heart, where he holds a swatch of red cloth. The sword points to a distant lighthouse on the horizon

A stylised portrait of David Tennant as The Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna. They are clinched close, both looking alarmed towards something offscreen to the right of the image. The background is a starry sky.

A black and white drawing of a character with curly horns and long dark hair worn in two loose braids, surrounded by a forest background and a decorative frame. There's a scar running across their mid chest and ribs. The character is gently holding their hands over the scar, with a calm expression on their face, eyes closed.
