I'm (slowly) building my own world!

Collage of two digital paintings.

image on the left: Digital painting of a man called The Wanderer. His hair is short and white, with a teal green streak on the left bang, he has brown skin, and his brows and goatee are white. His left eye is also icy white, he has pointy ears, and he is wearing a feather shaped earring.

He is wearing a hooded open vest, showing his bare chest, two elbow length gloves with both hands out. He has a sling bang and an obsidian black sword in a sheath hanging from his belt.

His loin-cloth is teal colored and has a fish-tail shaped train on the back. Underneath is a pair of blue pants, and he is wearing a pair of cream colored boots with white and teal parts.

His expression is serious and determined.

The background is a vibrant blue sky with clouds on the horizon, and the ground he's standing on is a shoreline with the water directly mirroring the sky.

Image on the right: Digital painting scene of an aquatic humanoid warrior, perhaps leading a battalion of other merfolk and aquatic warriors into an attack on land.

The warrior general has thick, scaly silver skin, adorned in gold armor and plating, and he's wielding a giant golden axe with an odd shape. He's standing on an elevated rocky platform covered in moss, with three aquatic creatures surveying the attack alongside him.

The creatures in the foreground have humanoid bodies, but heads of fish and merfolk. The same species of creatures can be seen rallying in the background. Lastly, there is a giant serpent towering the scene in the far back, it is pale in color, and it seems like it has a man-made golden structure attached to its face, like a helmet of sorts.

Digital painting of a merfolk-monster mutant. The merman is mostly humanoid; with human legs and barely any aquatic features, but on the nape of his neck is a fleshy appendage, that tethers him to the spine of a giant, mutated anglerfish, as if he's the lure and bait instead of a faintly glowing appendage.

The merfolk is floating above the large and open jaws of the anglerfish.

Digital painting of a giant ominous man, sitting cross legged, levitating in the sky, surrounding by flying giant oarfish, overlooking structures and buildings.

The man is a merfolk; mostly humanoid, but with a giant oarfish tail that he's sitting on. He's dressed in a religious tunic, with a red band resting over his shoulders, a helmet fashioned to look like an oarfish head, and he is holding a horn closely, as if he's about to blow it. The his sclera are bloodshot.

Around him are dozens of giant oarfish, rising from the sea and floating mid-ar. Beneath them are deserted buildings, homes and infrastructures.

Digital painting of Patsu.X's KaiJune entries. It's a layout showcasing all 11 creature designs of the series so far.

Digital painting of a winged centaur. He has curly hair and facial beard, and his horse half is white, and extremely furry. His human half is covered in tattoos and white body hair, and he is wielding a mace/hammer weapon that is in the shape of a horse head.

Digital painting of a pterosaur-like beast called "Wyvern Of The Sea". Its head, neck and upper torso is mostly white, it has a long yellow bill with sharp tips similar to a snapping turtle, a crest on top of its top beak, and an expandable pouch on its throat, similar to a pelican. There is a voluminous pouch of expandable sac around its neck and chest, similar to a Frigatebird, but it seems more decorative than functional. Its lower torso is a black color, with strong bird legs, that have blue webbed feet, similar to the bird Booby. Its tail is long, with fins running on its side, and on its tips.

It has wings that are more webbed than they are feathered, with a protruding thumb similar to a bat's, and three noticeable digits that are flat than they are wiry. It seems this creature is more reptilian and hydrodynamic, than it is avian and capable of flight.

Digital painting of an elegant merman. There is a glow of royal blue coming out of a cavity in middle of his upper torso in the middle that extends to his abdomen, and out of two columns of holes in his bottom portion. His tail seems to be a hollow flesh and the blue magic extends out to form his fish tail. There is a royal blue sword on top of the character; the sword is slim and sharp, and the blade is sculpted to have an impaled fish on its end.

Woohoo, #PortfolioDay ! I’m Gwenevere Singley, illustrator and general art wrangler! I’ve worked in games, animation, interactive media, TTRPGs, comics, and I’d love to work on more!

(All oil on canvas except the big fight scene, which was painted in Photoshop)

Portfolio: gwensingley.com

The Rose Queen, in a grand rose gown, is surrounded by her court of elegant bee attendants in a spacious pavilion decked with roses. The bee courtiers are all vying for her attention.

A knight on a white horse, setting out to find a dragon in a mountainous wild wasteland, has just encountered the dragon’s aunt. She is MASSIVE, half pompous matron and half dragon, decked with curls, pearls, and feathers (or are they horsetails?) with a long scaly tail stretching back into the mountains, and a formidable gold lorgnette, through which she examines the knight. She does not approve.

A joyful zebra, that is also a knight, ON FIRE, with stripes and tail turning to flames, garbed in a golden helmet with plumes that also turn to flames, rearing up and holding a striped lance that is also on fire, setting out on an adventure across sunny mountains, along a road leading to a golden castle. A little fire salamander friend tags along.

Cover for the Sword Opera TTRPG: a half a dozen motley renaissance characters are having a huge brawl near a baroque pavilion in a garden. A swordsman in black faces off against a swordswoman in red, behind them a be-turbaned swordsman with a blue flaming scimitar is restrained by a pleading damsel, a ruffian in yellow with a couple of daggers sprawls in the foreground, a sneaky rogue in a weird hat circles behind with a dagger, and another damsel kneels behind the duelists begging both her lovers to desist. Dramatic mountains and storm clouds set the scene.

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.

A black and white drawing of a long-haired character with antlers and fluffy ears, portrayed against a forest background. A circular shape frames their face from behind, and multiple sparkly shapes decorate the portrait.

Digital painting of two fairies hanging out on a balcony overlooking a cityscape. One fairy is wearing a gown and jewelry, smoking a cigarette, and the other one is wearing a form fitting satin dress, leaning on the bannister. She is earnestly looking at the other fairy.

Digital painting of two elf women sitting on a goblet beside a flower vase. They are sharing an intimate gesture and there are small butterflies flying around them.

digital painting of a ghost and an angel by a fountain. The ghost is a see-through specter, wearing a long dress and she is putting down a sealed letter on the fountain she's sitting on. An beautiful angel with butterfly wings, wearing a ghostly dress, is putting her arm around the ghost's shoulder with a reassuring expression. They seem to be heading somewhere.
