The image on the right shows a gentleman in a blue suit, splashes of crimson all over it. He's holding a gun in one hand and a kerchief in the other. The background is an interior of a room in a mansion - an expensive-looking chair is standing by the wall adorned with a few paintings of the people who live in the mansion.)

Hi #portfolioday ! ✨
I'm a french illustrator and cartoonist. I have a burning passion for creating fantasy and historical-themed characters.

I'm currently working on a big comic project which the first volume should be out next year !

Illustration of a red-haired dwarf in different scenes.
The first shows her pouring molten metal into a mould. Her face is protected by an iron mask.
In the second she examines the result of her work. It's a small figurine of a gnome armed with a spear and a shield.
In the last one, she's sitting on a stool without her work clothes. She is focused on painting her figurines.

Illustration of a huge Art Nouveau-style shopping mall crowned by a glass roof. A crowd of well-dressed people crosses the place.
In the centre of the image a man with small red-tinted glasses and metal-tinted skin is dragged by a small middle-aged woman's arm. She is wearing an extravagant mint-coloured outfit. The woman introduces the man to the place with excitement, but he doesn't seem thrilled.

A comic page showing three characters on a rocky shore. In front of them is a gate carved into the rock, and they are looking for a way to open it.
An argument breaks out between the red-haired girl who wants to continue the search and the sorcerer who wants to give up. They are interrupted by an explosion in the direction of the gate.
The third protagonist, who had placed the explosives, nonchalantly invites them to carry on their journey now that the way is clear.

Illustration of Medusa the Gorgon in her lair.
She stands with poise on a throne mad of her adversaries turned into stone. Her hand rests on the trident of a statue. Behind her, the fire of a brazier burns brightly.

#OCSky | #DndOC | 🤷‍♀️🫴💙

$Two-panel comic, panel 1: Ebin, a blue-skinned warlock with heterochromatic eyes (one white, one red) gazes pensively into a mirror. A light thought bubble reads, "All the pieces are in place..." Panel 2: The reflection in the mirror is now fractured, showing his face split into shards. Bubble, now black, reads, "...Everyone comes back a hero."$

He is the wonderwall, he knows how to hypnotize
He'll take control of a man who dares look him in the eyes
Skin cold to the touch, is he even alive?
He'll fill your head with nothing but lies

[ #OC #NicoLallas #vampire #vampireAU #sketch #Art #OcSky #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a b/w (+ red accents) sketch of vampireNico

He's leaning forward with a smug and confident look on his face, teeth showing, with fangs being pretty prominent, tongue liking said teeth. A bit of blood is splattered across his face, mostly around his mouth and cheek, with some also present on the collar bits of his leather jacket. Nico has this hypnotic vibe to him here as his eyes glow in the dark.

'Cause I can't be tamed
Broken off the chain
I come in swinging like a wrecking ball
Breaking through the wall
Feeling ten foot tall

[ #OC #NicoLallas #vampire #werebat #bat #vampireAU #sketch #Art #OcSky #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a b/w sketch (+ red accents) of vampireNico in his werebat form

He has a feral look in his eyes, mouth open with sharp teeth and long fangs poking out, ready to sink into foe or prey alike. His leather jacket is now slightly torn on the back as tattered bat wings ripped through it during the transformation.

"Oh, like an island, surrounded by a deep blue sea
You're the waves that push and pull against me
You wash me away, bit by bit
I will slowly erode 'til there's nothing left"

[ #OC #OriginalCharacter #NicoLallas #Niners #DCM #DontCryMercy #vampire #Art #OcSky #ArtSky #cardiart ]

a black and white sketch of Nico and Niners with a red accent
their silhouettes are combined, tangled and intertwined, with some parts being more detailed
Niners is leaning towards Nico's neck while holding his partner gently, ready to bite his neck to drink some blood with his barred vampire fanfs
Nico is slightly covered in blood but is very much willing to let this all happen, a relaxed expression upon his face with mouth slightly opened and gaze fixated on Niners
the air of this artwork is very much tender, vulnerable but in a good way, yearning and soft

"Have a safe trip!"

a complimentary piece to that portrait of devil Nico 'cause this idea has been brewing in my mind for a bit now ;w;

[ #OC #Niners #DCM #DontCryMercy #Halloween #vampire #ukrart #artsky #cardiart ]

a b/w portrait of Niners with blue accents
he's wearing a leather jacket with a cross accessory, leather gloves, a dark turtleneck and a black biker helmet (the helmet has bat-like motifs)
his face can be partially seen through the raised visor, vibrant blue blood is splattered around his mouth, with smaller drops smudged on his left cheek, and some of it is dripping from underneath the bottom half of the helmet, running towards the collar of the turtleneck), one eye is obscured by the shadows however it is still visible since both of his eyes are glowing
he's giving a goodbye salute with his hand and looking towards the camera

Kiss of an angel,

a b/w halloween piece of Nico
he has a white shirt, a leather jacket (with a safety pin with a chain coming from it on one of the lapels) and a red bandana on
there's a single horn on our right side of his face, together with a strand of his hair on the opposite side it makes up two devil horns
he's showing off his teeth with a snarky smile, tugging on the side of his mouth with a pointer finger

[ #OC #OriginalCharacter #NicoLallas #Niners #DCM #DontCryMercy #sketch #Art #OcSky #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a wholesome little b/w sketch of Nico and Niners

Niners' eyes are closed, eyebrows raised which makes his forehead even more wrinkled, as he's leaning towards his human partner. He's planting the gentlest of kisses on Nico's shoulder while Nico himself turns around to look at his android partner.
Nico has a tired yet soft expression on his face, slightly blushing at the comforting display of affection from Niners.

Cozy & Safe

[ #OC #OriginalCharacter #NicoLallas #Niners #DCM #DontCryMercy #Art #OcSky #ArtSky #sketch #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a b/w sketch of Nico and Niners sleeping peacefully in bed.

Niners is hugging Nico from the back, one arm underneath both pillows, fingers slightly hanging off the edge of the matrass, while the other rests entangled under Nico's arms. His face is leaning against his partner.
Nico's sleeping with his back to Niners, both arms crossed over his own chest in a sort of protective, self-hug gesture (both thumbs are sticking up while the rest of the fingers is resting between the arm and chest.
Rays of sunlight are slowly creeping towards the two from a tall-ish window on one side of the bedroom.

Home is where your cat is!🐱💕
Certainly a true statement for Nico ;v;

[ #OC #OriginalCharacter #NicoLallas #Niners #DCM #DontCryMercy #Art #OcSky #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a wholesome illustration of Nico and Niners

Niners has cat ears and tail (his tail is wagging) and is making the little kitty paws gesture while Nico is holding his face, squishing his cheeks slightly. Nico's blushing a lot, no expression visible since he's not facing the viewer but you can tell that he's super flustered and thinks that Niners looks extremely cute with cat ears and tail. Niners is blushing too, a happy expression on his face.
(This is a version of this piece where Niners has a 3-shaped mouth)
