Marco González - Fantasy artist @mgonzalezart.bsky.social · 10h

Hey #Portfolioday! I'm Marco González, freelance artist and art instructor working on TCG, TTRPG, videogames and book publishing, among others. I love creating worlds and bringing fantasy to life.

animadeprived.carrd.co

A ghostly white head with long hair and a circlet is trapped in a glass jar with a metal, spiky lid tied with chains. The head is screaming with its mouth open wide, while a purple ooze flows from it. The jar is on top of an altar of sorts with runic inscriptions on the steps leading to it. Behind it, a huge, dark creature with long extremities looms over the scene, with its hands surrounding the jar.

A red-haired dwarf with an eye patch, a mohawk and a manica and a Huge, muscular, long-haired character at a bar share a table, some drinks while playing and/or gambling. The dwarf has just leapt onto the table holding a massive axe and threatening to severe his opponent's hand, while the other begs him not to. In the background, a lively crowd cheers and laughs while watching the scene.

The focus of the illustration is massive cocoon-like formation made of gnarled branching shapes with a warm, eye-shaped light in the centre. In the foreground, a thick “branch” where a character is standing goes towards the background. The atmosphere is mostly blue and hazy, with some warm light particles floating around.

A horned and almost entirely covered creature stands in the middle of the picture. Frayed layers flow around its body, kind of disintegrating as they move. A dark face with bright eyes is barely visible. Behind it, we see a stony and almost organic setting in mostly cool colours. In the bottom of the frame, we see a small character looking at the giant creature, standing on an organic-looking pathway.

La belle dame sans merci by Frank Bernard Dicksee version of Hans and Henry from Kingdom Come Deliverance

Illustration showing the characters from my book Niketas and Ulvar, but mermaid AU where Niketas is a merman. They are both underwater and Ulvar is dying.

Illustration of a boy in a dark, spooky, nordic forest. The boy's eyes are blurred. Naked tall trees, their branches almost stretching towards him, towering him. A faint shape of a bird in the upper left corner. There are a few lights of eyes in the forest, watching him.

An easter witch flying on a broom towards Blåkulla, a cat is standing on it as well. Both have glowing yellow eyes, staring into the camera. Birds are flying around them.

Hey #portfolioday! I'm a #KidLit book designer by day and an illustrator by rest-of-the-day savoring any chance they can get to make personal art :') Love drawing lots of details, academic art, and costumed ladies ✨

A super detailed digital illustration showing an interior courtyard scene based off of the architecture of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s courtyard arches and ornament, broken up into different sections arranged in non-linear and isometric perspective (sort of in the tradition of Persian and SE Asian miniature painting). Various femme human figures of different sizes and colors (natural white and brown skin tones but also colored blue and red) are scattered around this space- they are all based off of women from different paintings within the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and Gardner Museum (including John Singer Sargent’s El Jaleo, who here is dressed in a way that references the character design of Jolyne Cujoh). In the bottom left, electric blue tigers race under arches in a starry-void space. At the top right, a mysterious woman stands under a painting with aa living parrot, and next to an another parrot on a chair. She is standing upon a coil of thread that weaves throughout the painting, and terminates in a box at bottom left which is guarded by a fancily dressed woman in parrot couture costume, in a miniature “room” with different paintings of other woman, and a mirror that reflects a color field of pink, blue and white. A pink nude woman is seated above on a fabric drape that flows down from a red woman above her who is holding a flower looking out from an ornamented arch. At center is a large blue woman who is smelling a stand of roses, while below her is a smaller ballerina doing up her flats on marble stairs.

An outdoor nighttime scene set in a back alleyway mixed-with-a traditional Chinese garden pavilion where multiple characters from the Final Fantasy video game series are gathered around in a little garden courtyard surrounded by houses and walls. In the grass yard sits an ornate, classical American style table holding a blue-gold tea pot and cup set, along with chairs, and a small, green-marble topped side table that’s holding two vases with flowers and a blue-gold pitcher. Behind the furniture and courtyard rise tall, white birch trees. In the background close by is the tall side of a house with an open lit window and hanging laundry on the roof top above. Set into the house wall is an open window through which a cute FF9-style Moogle peeps through. In the further left background is a classic-Chinese style covered pavilion, with curved titles and green-red lacquer sides. Standing by, and sitting at (or on) the table, in the left foreground are Beatrix, Freya and Eiko (who is trying to read a book) (FF9), along with Terra (FF6), Fang (FF13), Rydia (FF4) and Fran (FF12), the three of whom are sat close together, shoulders touching in deep gossip/discussion. To the left, by the courtyard wall and entrance is Garnet/Dagger (FF9) who is sitting by herself on an ornate bench seat cradling a cat in one arm while Yuna (FF10) is stepping through the courtyard entrance, right arm outstretched and mid-saying something. Another orange cat is strolling across the grass in-between both groups. The scene implies that there is both lively discussion and leisurely resting amongst all the different parties, with the fun for the viewer getting to see all these different game characters together in one scene. The art style is based on clean, thin line art with solid, bright colors composed in a muted, yellow tinge since it is nighttime. Above the characters heads are little dark boxes with colorful gold-green borders with colorful bars displayed within, like video game status bars.

Photo of an imaginary book cover for a novel titled “Big Fig Wasp.” The cover art depicts a "main character,” which is a self-portrait of myself femme presenting, and dolled up with ribbons and jewelry and sitting on an iridescent pedestal while a mysterious, color-chromatic webbed-hole emerges from my torso as my gloved hand pulls it open. A shadow figure wrapped by a glowing dragon-creature is coming into being in an ornate mirror behind me in the top right corner. At the bottom-left foot of the pedestal if a black-panther dressed in an ornamental harness. Flower decorations and ornament patterns accent the bottom and other corners of the cover. The type is painted in iridescent colors and come in and out of focus.

You can find all of my work using #FeymienArt

Coloured illustration of a tiefling with dark green skin and horns sitting on a thick tree branch above a lake. They have long flowing black hair with blue accents, and they're wearing a decorated top alongside wide pants and a slit skirt, all in lavender tones. The same lavender colour can be found in the flowers on their hairpiece and earrings, as well as in various flowers in the foreground. A full moon is illuminating the piece from above and reflecting in the ocean below.

Fullbody illustration of a man with tan skin and light blonde hair in a long thick braid hanging down to his waist. He's kneeling on the floor,wearing a simple back wrap dress, one hand holding a white and black scythe. He has wings fading from brown to white, with golden and white spreckles all over them. In the background is a set of stained glass windows frames by thin golden frames, part of a church overgrown by vines

Illustration of two merfolk embracing each other. The left one has black braided hair and dark skin with vibrant teal coloured markings all over the skin, as well as a very long dark green tail with various side fins and more bright markings. The one on the right has light skin and hair in various pastel shades. Her tail is shorter and grey, with various white patches both on the tail and her skin.

Hi #portfolioday! I’m Lainey Williams, a cartoonist and illustrator. I love to write and draw queer romance, surreal fantasy, and strange horror comics.

Color comic page showing a woman in front of a forest of trees lit red and shadowed blue by the setting sun. She looks out at the sun, then turns back toward her sled filled with pinecones. As she does, there’s an insert panel of a goose’s wings pressing down in flight. The woman, Marika, turns back toward the setting sun to see the goose’s silhouette. Her stomach rumbles. She grips her bow and begins to short-ski up a snowy hill toward the goose and the setting sun.

A page from the webcomic Crash Coral, written by Randall Avilez and drawn by Lainey Williams.
Panel 1: a teen girl in a sweatshirt pours syrup on her pancakes. “I—I think—No, I am gay. I’m gay.”

Panel 2: her dad shoves food in his mouth while her mom sips coffee. They’re in a diner.
Dad: …ok.
Mom: Are you…Did you realize this only recently? Is…someone bullying you or something?

Panel 3: Coral, the teen, slides down on her vinyl seat, looking frustrated.
Coral: No no one’s bullying em. I woulda just punched them.
Dad: Right.
Coral: But yeah, I just found out or whatever at the show…on friday?

Panel 4: Coral looks up at the ceiling fan turning above her head.
Coral: And I think I’m in love with ricki…

Panel 5: Her parents stare at her, frozen for a moment. Dad’s mouth is still full of food.

Panel 6: Same composition, but Dad is grinning arrogantly and Mom is rolling her eyes with a smile.
Mom: Don’t even say it.
Dad: Wasn’t gonna—
Mom: I don’t know how you even knew.

Comic page showing three girls walking into a mock Guitar Center called Monster Music.
Panel 1: From left to right, they say “Wow!” “You guys seriously haven’t been to Monster Music before?” “Nope!”

Panel 2: Mikey, the white girl on the left, says “They have everything!” Kira: “Including a backup generator.” None of them acknowledge the huge floaty rift in reality crossing through the ceiling

Panel 3: Kira looks on as the other two girls wander away.
Kira: We still have a lot of stuff to unpack…
Daniela: I just wanna look around for a second.
Mikey: Yeah, be right back.

A comic page without text, rendered in bright pinks, cyans, oranges and yellows.

P1: a roadside diner at sunset with a pink mountain range in the background. IT’s called the redwood diner, ad the sign is backed by a stylized cloud with a sun peeking out behind it.

P2: Two white women sit at one of the tables at the diner. One has long brown hair in an updo and is wearing a pink dress. She’s in the middle of putting a fry in her mouth. Her friend is looking over at her. She has wavy, short green hair and a trench coat on.

P3: View over the girls’ heads. An orange doorless jeep is visible pulling off of the mountain highway into the parking lot of the diner.

P4-5: The two women run down behind the diner into the redwoods that surround it. There’s an insert panel of a blonde white man in a letterman’s jacket shouting at them—apparently the driver of the jeep.

P6: The brown-haired girl runs ahead, but looks over her shoulder at the green-haired girl.
