A fall-themed moth for October day 4 🦋

#digitalart #spookyseason #halloween #spooky

A digital illustration of a moth on a taupe coloured background.
The moth is orange, black, and white, and has furry antennae. Its legs seem to stretch out in all directions, turning into what appear to be delicate tree limbs, tipped with leaves.
A white moon and stars surround it.

Gouache Illustration of a ghost sitting down reading a book in a darkened library where two candles float in the air around him to illuminate his book

A watercolor illustration of a misty forest scene with a lone skeletal tree on a hill in front of a large white moon.

A watercolor/ink drawing: haunted, dilapidated house looms in front of a stormy sky. A tree stands in the yard in front of it.

Acrylic painting of a weird botanical scene: blue mushrooms, an orchid with a face and mouth full of teeth, and a weird flower with an eye in the center and tendrils coming out of it. There are green leaves and bushes on the ground and it's all encased in a dome. Outside of the dome is a black starscape.

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I’m Runo, a freelance fantasy artist specializing in characters ✦🌿

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.

A black and white drawing of a character with long dark hair and curly horns, surrounded by stylized foliage. A symbolic dagger seems to be piercing their throat. The character has a calm expression - eyes closed and a subtle smile on their lips.

A decorative and detailed black and white portrait of a long-haired character with pointy ears. They are dressed in fancy clothing and wear jewelry. Their eyes seem to be slightly glowing as they gaze at the viewer.
