A digital illustration of a metal draconic humanoid. They are a silvery colour with a roaring blue/red glass heart with a runestone in the centre, that sits exposed in their chest, it is also missing a part of it. Her arms almost the full length of her body and end in clawed hands. Blue/red light seeps out from between the plates as does smoke.

An illustration of a burnt red, stocky humanoid. They have long, magma like hair and wear an orange scarf, a shirt, dungarees and a pair of yellow tinted glasses. Their left leg is a prosthetic from the knee down which is a dull bronze colour with steam coming out of it. A book sits in the dungarees pocket and there is also a belt attached. Sitting on her chest is a necklace which is a chunk of cooled glass that is silvery, blue and red in colour

An illustration of a dark room that has various parts of aeormaton in states of disrepair and there are scattered books all over the place. There is a desk and pin board in the back with various notes and a large green tinted window to the left and it is raining. Next to the window sits Devexian, an intricately decorated gold aeormaton working on a broken one

A digital illustration of Aloy's bow from the horizon games, with an arrow being slightly pulled back. In between the string and bow there is the symbol of Gaia and a tallneck comes from the top of it and there is a metal flower on the left corner and the chip on the right. Symbols of the cauldrons surround the bow

It's #PortfolioDay again!

I'm Carmine, a rabid lesbian and hobby artist best known for pinups and original character design, often incorporating midcentury-modern themes and macabre elements.

Some of my other character designs are in the comments!

#CarmineArt
☕/tips: ko-fi.com/carminedeville

OC, Carmen Romero
Digital artwork of a woman in lingerie and heels posed confidently in an antique upholstered armchair. In one black, clawed hand she loosely holds a cigarette holder and lit cigarette, which trails smoke across the top of the image, and her other hand is draped over the armrest. A Columbian rainbow boa curls up her arm and around her shoulders, and a second set of shadowy black arms pose eerily behind her. The image is lit with iconic film noir slats of light and shadow, and a large, theatrical black hat casts much of her face into darkness, except for one shining golden eye visible beneath the brim.

OC, Victoria Sweet
Digital painting of a deathly pale woman with long dark hair, multiple curling horns tipped in gold, and fangs backlit by a full moon against a starless night sky. She ecstatically holds a fresh human heart in one clawed hand as the fanged mouth in her palm bites into it, spilling blood down her arm. Golden light pulses at the center of the heart and sparkles through the blood rivulets. Another mouth lined with jagged teeth gapes open at the center of her external ribcage, and she holds her translucent, partially skeletal bat-like wings at a low, casual angle.

OC, Mori
Image of a red half-fiend woman with long red hair pulled into a ponytail sitting in a pinup pose on a burgundy skull chair. She wears a spiderweb corset in such a dark purple it's nearly black, garters, and iridescent feather collar, and holds up a finger encircled in swirling, crackling purple magic.

OCs, Lucita and Zoya
Digital artwork of two backlit women holding each other on a grey and gold art deco background. The Latina woman in the left, Lucita, wears a smart dark grey suit and Panama hat as she romantically dips Zoya, a peroxide blonde white woman in a pink gown, who tips her head back as Lucita leans in to kiss her throat. In her right hand, Lucita delicately holds the handle of her silver sword cane, which she's driven through Zoya's heart and out her back, spilling blood down the back of the pink dress.

A story page piece featuring my OC and BG3 Tav Envy, a pale grey/white tiefling in half plate armour. A framed rectangular image at the top of the page shows a redrawn screenshot of a Baldurs Gate city scape from the game.
Text on the left of the page reads:
Promise and potential
Always striving to be more than you were
To hope for the best, to become something else
A chasm in your chest that you're always fighting to close
Wearing your fingers to the bone trying to keep hold

A legend never dies, a good song is never forgotten
Is it worth creating this myth of yourself?
To be larger than life and better than fable
Obsession and dedication and everything people won't want to call it

Crafting your heart with mercury, liquid silver always threatening to overflow
Making yourself something new entirely, something unfamiliar and grand
The saviour of all the new and beautiful things this world has to offer
The martyr of all the monstrous too

Thigh up art of my OC Merry Mayhem, a purple tiefling with gold eyes and a white unicorn horn. They're wearing a leotard with puffy sleeves and gold accents. They look mid spin with the ribbons from her leotard splayed out

Reversed portrait of my OC Prophecy, her eyes are closed and she looks peaceful. The tips of her horns are glowing and golden light seems to be flowing from her missing eye both down her cheek and up

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.

A digital rendered illustration of two autumn eladrin posing, looking at the viewer, one laying their head and hands on top of the other's. They are mine and my friend's original characters. They are both pale-skinned with orange hair and beards. Accolon (top) has golden eyes with black sclera and Estel (bottom) has green eyes with white sclera. They are both covered in golden jewelry. Estel has flowers in his hair and wears a burgundry v-neck top and autumnal makeup. Accolon has a green to black gradient around their eyes, on their arms, and at their ears. The background is indicative of a tavern.

A rendered digital illustration of two original characters kissing. One is a pale-skinned firbolg with long, beaded brown hair and hooves wearing a large brown coat and blue embroidered cardigan. He is leaning down dramatically to kiss his partner, a dark blue-skinned elf with chitinous armour and tight, dark clothing. They also have gold markings on their upper arms and face, and they stand on their tip toes to kiss the firbolg. They both stand on a well-worn path in a flower field in early spring, snow still melting, with green trees on the horizon.

A rendered digital painting of two men as a study of Springtime (Pierre Auguste Cot). One man is a scruffy tan-skinned human with pulled up black hair, and the other is an elegant, pale autumn eladrin with flowing red hair with flowers in it.

A rendered digital portrait of a blue-skinned fairy with a long blue mullet and blue morpho-inspired wings. They are smiling widely at the viewer. They have dark blue/purple moth-like antennae, white whiskers, and a spectral white unicorn horn. They have freckles and a pink blush across their cheeks. The background is a dark purple to gold gradient, with the gold centred around the character's head.
