#art #artist #cats

Collage of five of my paintings (clockwise): 1. A small black cat peeks curiously out from behind a group of colorful pumpkins and gourds. The pumpkins come in different shapes, colours and sizes. Only the head and one front paw of the cute kitten behind it can be seen.
2. View from the Top of the Mountain is a hand-painted watercolor painting by artist Karen Kaspar in landscape format. From the mountain summit, the viewer's gaze sweeps over the surrounding mountain ranges of the Bavarian Alps. The tranquil landscape features multiple layers of mountains that gradually fade from rich greens in the foreground to softer blues in the background.
3. A black and white Tuxedo cat stands in front of a dreamy abstract background in various shades of blue and gazes curiously upwards. Soft, loose, abstract brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement around the cat.
4. Robin in Colors - A European Robin stands amidst splashes of vibrant colors on a plain creamy white background. The bird's bright orange breast contrasts beautifully with its darker feathers. The colours of the plumage are repeated in the splashes of colour in the abstract background.
5. A female sparrow with soft, fluffy plumage sits on a slender branch. The cute little bird is looking to the right. The delicate feathers of the little bird are painted in different shades of brown with loose, soft brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm brown, purple and earthy tones.

An ethereal digital artwork showing a woman looking upward toward a glowing star in the sky. Her arms are crossed and guarded, yet peaceful. Her body seems to dissolve into light and chaotic energy, surrounded by circular halo-like rings. The colors are soft purples and golds. It has a dreamy, cosmic vibe.

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

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.

Oh hello #Portfolioday! Here’s some of the stuff I’ve done:

Digital drawing of a winged veiled woman using one of its wings to partially cover a horned child from the light above them both. Shades of brown hints of teal.

Digital painting base on a sculpture angel by Lorenzo Bernini bastardized. The head of the angel is now two blooming flowers obscured by a sketchy pink neon skull, complete with horns and halo. The background is textured with a non repeating pattern resembling a script.

Digital portrait of a masked woman. Tones of pink, grey and yellow. Large coiled snake bares its fangs in the foreground.

Digital drawing of a white barn own standing on a plinth with a mutated mouse in its talons

A collage image of six different paintings done by the poster of various skull headed humanoid figures, most with their skulls floating above dismembered torsos and other mystical features.

A collage of six images that are of three different character portraits, two of which show full body poses.

A collage of two different images featuring the same character. One is a portrait of a ghostly male character that is mostly in shadow except for his face. He has dark hair, blue skin and glowing eyes. The other features different portrait angles and one almost full body pose.

A collage of three different digital paintings. One is a portrait of a headless figure in a suit and tie with two glowing halos of different sizes floating where the head would be. Second is of a jackal skull floating above the neck of a dismembered, semi-human, teal torso. Last is of a giant, four-armed, skull-headed figure floating in a large thunder cloud with several bolts of lighting generating from its hands and the cloud as sunlight shines from behind it all.
