Hey #portfolioday!
I'm Laura, a fantasy abstract fine artist that sometimes does illustrations! Huge fan of stories, whether they're a single line or pages upon pages. I work in watercolor, graphite powder, and gouache
My style vibes with what I need it to do
[email protected]
fallenlights.net

landscape of branches and roots growing around a small puddle of water. a blue raven stands above it with a feather in his beak, peering down into the water.

three small abstract landscape paintings. Green seaweed looking one, a green stone formation that can be a city or forest, and a green and yellow natural formation that can be a leaf breaking apart

Two book cover paintings. a blue one with a man and a sword, looking tired and worn, and a burnt hand besides him. the background is abstract shapes hidden by misty swirls.

The second image is of a city. There is a crowd of people that are just forms, and one man standing out in a red trenchcoat and white eyes staring at the viewer.

dark blue landscape of two woods meeting for a conversation. It can also possibly be a single tree split down the middle.

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.

Hey #portfolioday I usually make stuff for things like ttrpgs & movies. The last 2 yrs have been a lot of applying/rejections & it was making me think things like ‘you’ll never work again’/‘you were never good enough to stay’. So I said F*ck it & started making my own things.

Digital artwork of a witch standing waist deep on a Bog, dead hands reaching out of the water. She wears brown clothing that's clinging to her, and smudges of mud on her skin. A heron stands in the tall grass in the background, and mushrooms grow on a fallen log in the foreground

Digital artwork of two characters. The man has on a leather vest over a flannel shirt, a compass rose tattoo on his arm, his brown hair blowing in the wind. He's leaning close to the woman, who has cherry pink hair in a twisting braid, wearing green overalls over a yellow tank top. She leans against a metallic wall covered in vines. A tornado rages in the background
