Gnat @cabbooge.bsky.social · Nov 19

Right, about time I did this - hi!! I'm Nat and I draw fantasy art!

I'm usually inspired by my own D&D characters, and I'm trying to make things as dramatic and cool as they are in my head. I hope people are happy to be around while I'm trying to do that 💖✨

A scene of a study lit by warm light. The foreground shows a ginger gnome (Helfi) on the right, leaning their upper body across the table top and resting their left arm out in front of them while their right, a gold prosthesis, is tucked in and being used to rest their face. Helfi is watching their mechanical bird companion (Berty) sing a tune, the both of them haloed by the window behind them. Further to the left of the foreground a small mechanical suit sits unused atop a stack of books. The background contains shelves of books, as well as different knick-knacks: an old golden prosthesis labelled "ol' reliable"; a pressed flower; an alchemy set up; goggle hung up on a tool pegboard; an unclear framed portrait; and a gold and glass, syringe-like gun.

A landscape painting showing a wizard blasting a lightning bolt. They're flanked by a crackling storm cloud, small sparks of lightning are shooting out and illuminating the surrounding clouds, and it billows away from them from the force of the blast. The spell itself is a bright blue and white, glowing and shooting off frame in a dark environment. The wizard is moving backwards and their hair, long, dark and braided, is flattened to their back and the ends fly from between their legs with the force of their movement. A single hand is outstretched to cast the spell.

A black and white painting of a drider from the waist-up. She is naked, and holds her left hand up in front of her chest, looking down at her palm with wide eyes and a too-wide open mouth. She has eight eyes, a crescent moon on her left cheek, and her mouth, full of sharp canine-like teeth, tears into her cheeks, joined by a few strands of flesh. She has striking, silk-like white hair, that falls behind her and over her left shoulder.

A red-skinned tiefling, her right hand reaching up, her tail lightly coiled under her, and floating in space with her left leg outstretched while her right is drawn towards her torso. She has a classic, pointed devil's tail, adorned with three gold rings, and curled ram-like horns - the tips of which are black before fading into her red/pink skin tone. Her tail and other limbs share the same black to red gradient. She wears a primarily black outfit, with an asymmetrical cloak, different length boots, and dark trousers, embroidered on the seams with celestial-style imagery of stars, moons, circles and suns. Her top is a white/cream colour, with a gold trim around the collar and on either side of its fastenings. She is smiling, a gentle but happy expression, and her eyes are wholly white and glowing, with a third, vertical eye on the centre of her forehead. Her dark hair is billowing behind her, and she has bangs that rest between her horns.

So happy to share one of the three cards I made for @saharian.bsky.social Briardark!
For more info about the books please visit their profile 🌱

#art #illustration #darkfantasy #book

Illustration I made for S.A. Harian's book Briardark. The scene is showing a young woman wearing a blue coat lost in an heavy atmospheric forest in which the trees tangles with each other and the roots are everywhere on the ground. The woman is sitting - knees down - on the grass, the look on her face seems scared and hurt while she tries to extract a glow arrow from her chest, dripping blood as she's looking at the viewer, terrified. Next to her, on the grass, there's a bloody knife almost hidden.

Aurora stands by threshold of a portal comprised of two columns connected by an arc. She wears a long flowy dress, with a bodice decorated with white roses. She is lifting her hand towards a star, and golden threads are wrapped around her. There is water on the ground where the stars are glittering.

Hello #PortfolioDay !
I'm Nat, I love pushing to draw a wide variety, though I lean towards fantasy ✨

I'll be looking to open myself up for commissions soon, so can only really say to keep and eye out, and me in mind, down the line 👋

🔗: linktr.ee/cabbooge

A dhampir (Prudence) surrounded by an out-of-focus crowd of undead. She wears a white dress, akin to a vampire bride, and a white veil in contrast with her dark hair. She spins on the spot, smiling with one had at her side and the other raised, both conjuring bright green magic that winds around her arms. Above her raised hand rests a skull formed out of her magic.

A half-elf, half-dwarf (Angel) standing with a spell book in one hand and the other gesturing off to the side. They have tan skin, dusty brown hair that is tied in a messy plait, and wear simple adventuring clothes: boots, pouches and leather armour. Their hands and forearms are wrapped with cloth that glows with arcane runes inscribed along its length.

A long page spread showing the design process of a succubus, titled "The Sin." Along the bottom are a series of sketches with different poses, features and body plans, including a rough sketch of the facial features in the bottom right. Front and centre, the red succubus has one goat leg in front of the other like a bow, shackles just above her cloven hooves, and holds out one hand in an offering. Both hands contain the ends of chains, connected to shackles on her wrists. Her hair is in four long braids, tied off with metal rings; a pair of wings sprout wide from her lower back; and chitinous horns grow large from her head, stemming from a pronounced brow that shadows burning yellow eyes.

A teenager (Rebel) playing bass while moving across a stage. His head in angled down as he propels himself with one leg; and he wears a simple outfits of boots, jeans, and a red jacket.
