I reopened commissions! Simple sketches are open, while the sketchpages are waitlisted :3
I'll probably close them soon-ish if I receive too many requests since I want to deliver them before I have to travel!

Hello #PortfolioDay ~

I am a french freelance artist who likes to draw characters !
I draw a lot of OC, DnD and TTRPG's stuff ~
I am searching to work on more project including that in the future !

My website : narney.carrd.co
Portfolio : cara.app/narney

$Page of a character, profile, long red hair flowing all around her, white porcelain skin and gold earring and hairpin. A panel is on the bottom right, focus on her golden eye, fractured. A text says "If eyes are the mirror to the soul... What do mine show ?"$

OCs, Ivemylla, half-elf is sitting before a long blond haired man, her half-brother : Liazar. He wears a long blue robe and a black shirt as there is a gold accent on the tip of it. He is bending over her, smiling, holding her face toward the mirror after she got ready before meeting her future family in law. One of his finger touches her lips, keeping a mark of her lipstick on it. The other hand is presenting her. Her long white hair are attached in a bun with long strand hanging under it. A lot of pearls are pinned in it, same on her transparent dress' part. She looks cold, off.
The window is behind them, showing a late day light.

OCs Lyuu (right) and Minuit (left)
Two characters are standing, facing each others. The man, human looking, is showing his back to the viewer, short brown hair, scar on the right side of his face, smiling. He wears a purple shirt, his hand is holding the face of the other character.
The woman (elf looking) is looking at the man, coming from above like she jumped off somewhere, wearing a green armor. She has long black hair, tied up as a high tail, going into smoke on the tips. She has a very tender look and smile, holding the face of the man with her hand, which is black.

OC Jude, taned, long wavy blond hair with 2 big braids on each side, jeweled with rings and coins in them. She looks confident, one arm up while bending some water.

Hello #PortfolioDay!

I like to do creature design, character design and fantasy illustration. My current personal project is called Flowerpunk, a story about magic and monsters with a Solarpunk twist!

🎨 - cara.app/kayaskosmos

☕ - ko-fi.com/kayaskosmos

A drawing of eight tiny little clover people known as "cloverkin" crossing over a mossy log. One is sitting on a broken branch stump, one is waving at us, one is showing a four-leafed member a tiny leaf they found while the four-leafed cloverkin holds a tiny staff and looks impressed. There is a parent and child cloverkin skipping along the branch behind them and at the far end of the log, one cloverkin is giving another a piggyback. In the background there is a forest and a river.

A drawing of a creature known as a “Moonstalker.” This is a creature from the “Flowerpunk” webcomic. The drawing takes place at night and the canvas is dominated by a navy blue colour scheme. In the foreground are some cliffs and tress. Off in the distance is a grassy plain with a river running through it. Even further into the distance, the moonstalker strides across the landscape, its tail stretching off far into the distance. The moon-shaped structure on its back climbs high into the sky, lit up by the light of the moon. There is a small mountain range along the horizon and some nimbus clouds billow up into a starry sky.

A drawing of 7 characters who are part of "the lovely anarchists" in the Flowerpunk webcomic. From left to right, Bruno, Cassie, Molly, Kimi, Ludwig, Earwig and Maggie. Maggie is at the front of the group clapping her hands and singing. Ludwig is playing a pride-themed electric lute while Earwig follows looking excited. Kimi is vibing to the music behind Ludwig, Molly is marching energetically and Cassie is stopping her hat from blowing off. At the back of the group, Bruno is doing a proud march/jig along to the music.

A drawing of an earth colossus crossing the Scottish coast. The colossus has six legs and somewhat resembles a massive bull-like ungulate. It is made from earthy materials and has forests and plains growing on its back. There is a strong fossil motif running throughout its design, including its lower legs which resemble giant shells. The creature also has huge, stony antlers protruding from its head, though its face is a cross between bull and human. It also has several manmade structures on its back, including giant glass domes with trees inside, some modern wooden and stone huts and the ruins of an abbey on the back end. It is also has several airborne wind turbines tethered to it. In the foreground of the image are two climate scientists on the clifftop observing the creature. They have set up some equipment for measuring meteorological conditions.

good morning #PortfolioDay !

i'm viktor, a trans gay illustrator, looking for work in books, ttrpgs, and comics. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 historical fiction, fashion, and fantasy is my cup of tea ✨🌿🌸🍵 would love to work with more queer authors and fantasy book boxes!

A digital illustration of a scene from AV Wilkes' 'All the White Spaces'. Jonathan, a trans man and the protagonist, stands in the centre, facing the viewer. He stares ahead in horror, his right hand clutching his throat. From his left eye, strands of bleeding red aurora stretch outwards. These auroras show visions of Jonathan's brothers on the Western Front of the First World War:
- A moustached officer smokes a cigarette in a trench, looking away.
- A soldier is twisted in the remains of barbed wire.
- Three soldiers wear gas masks, emerging from clouds of mustard gas.
- No Man's Land exploded to all hell. A tank is submerged in a shell hole in the distance.
- A skull pressed into the earth.
- A soldier holds a rifle and makes his way across the strait of No Man's Land.

Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers.
Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace.
Right: Two male characters stand in front of each other, staring at the other. One is shorter, and wears a mustard yellow jumper, looking annoyed. The other is taller, with frizzy blonde hair, a purple hoodie, and looks smug. A border of cat toys surrounds them. A cat lies down, arching over the two men, and has a smile on his face.

2 different portrait illustrations side by side.
Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers.
Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels.
Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry.
Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion.
Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it.

A double page spread of a comic. The first page shows a twisted tree in the centre, the space between each branch a panel showing a plague blighting a kingdom. The protagonist called Wolfgang is engulfed in the blighted roots of the twisted tree in the throes of a nightmare. A voice tells him "Take heed, young Durward. These lands know only death, and within its centre, a horror festers. It feasts on all its roots can teach, and what life remains dwindles."
The second page shows a close up of the branches of this twisted tree. Between its panels are images of rot, bodies in body bags, dead fish floating, and the branches are infested with maggots. The voice continues "Soon, there will be naught to satisfy its hunger. But for every poison, there is an antidote."

Hey, hi, howdy! Happy #portfolioday to one and all! :)

I go by LeafSaw and I absolutely love OCs and will probably do your DTIYS if you post one.

🧡 I've also got a webcomic on Tapas, called Deck! tapas.io/series/rigge...

Acer and Clover, my OCs, on an empty subway.

Harrier, OC of midnightcoffee.bsky.social, looks into a mirror with the word "smile" written on it. Her reflection takes a picture of her. Beside her is the name of the webcomic she comes from, Hi, Strangeness: https://hi-strangeness.com/

A textless page of Deck. Acer stands to complain to a robot at the newsstand.
