A painting illustration of the character Isilaithion - an obsidian wyrm from the World of Warcraft setting in an elven visage with deep brown skin and long black hair. He is posed against a starry, dark background with Azeroth framing his head in the back, one side of it dark and destroyed, and the other yet vivid and lively. He has a relaxed pose, right hand raised to cast a wisp of flame while his left holds a stone snake gently. He wears black robes with gold trimmings and jewellery, the right side of his face shrouded in shadows, almost menacing with the purple glow to his eye; meanwhile, his gaze is drawn to the snake slithering in his hand as he smiles gently.

art of a male Lavellan Inquisitor with his naked back against the viewer, showing off a white, almost glowing branch of vallaslin tattoos running down his spine and arching over his shoulders. his face is obscured by short cropped, curly black hair.

illustration of a celestial called Paris. they are kneeling, mostly bare besides their long golden hair and wings covering them. their wings and body has golden, eldritch eyes appear on them and their plumage contorts into fleshy parts, signifying a corruption they suffered in their childhood. they smile coyly, almost a little sinisterly, with a golden halo bursting outwards behind their head.

$reference sheet of a blue dragon in a dracthyr visage. the lineup depicts his casual clothes, formal wear and armor, both front and back view. Each outfit contains various shades of blues and greys with silver trimmings. On the right, his inventory is depicted, including a fractured, dark ice staff, a purple arcane wand, a journal, an obsidian snake held together with volcanic magic, an assortment of crystals, and a spiky, dark elementium cube artifact.$

hello, #portfolioday! 🐸🌿

my name is ilona and i'm a digital artist who is obsessed with his OCs and anything TTRPG, gothic or vintage related!

currently my commissions are open on vgen and i sometimes release NPC portraits on patreon and ko-fi 💗

hortensjjja.carrd.co

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.

Little warm-up of Ruby, used a picture of Lauren Bacall as a reference, (she's my face claim for her.)

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.

Chunks of this deal he 'made' is really just a deal the Biden admin could've actually forced on Israel but refused.

He strong armed them because his family is financially invested in the Arab states that want the violence to end.

It's all just self enrichment, and it's gross.

The “war on drugs” began as a metaphor, but the “war” part quickly became all too literal.
