An illustration of Cal and Quinn being attacked by small creatures while they're in the Underdark. Quinn is casting a spell and Cal is giving him a kiss, which completes the magic runes of his spell. Quinn is looking at them surprised but with a little smile.

A sketch page of a couple containing 7 different drawings. Quinn is a drow tiefling with dark purple skin with silver freckles, two blue crystal horn that start on the back of his head and go all the way to the front simulating a crown, he has pink eyes, has very long white hair that is usually up in a massive braid that ends just below his knees, he has a long tail with a pointy crystalline tip. Cal is a blue tiefling, with dark blue ram-like horns, he has naturally dark blue hair which is dyed in pink, he has yellow eyes, his tail is long and its tip is heart shaped.

In the first pose they are both portrayed fullbody as they're hugging facing each other, Quinn is looking down at Cal placing his hands on on of his hips, while Cal's throwing his arms up around Quinn's neck.
The next drawing is a half body, where Quinn is playfully hugging and licking Cal's exposed neck, while he laughs as he faces up.
The third drawing js another half body where Cal is sotting on Quinn's lap, they appear to be having a conversation and Quinn is looking playfully at Cal.
The fourth drawing is a bust of them kissing. Cal appears to be over Quinn.
The fifth drawing is another bust of them kissing, Quinn is behind Cal, softly grabbing him from the face with a hand to face him.
The sixth drawing is a half body of them at a table. Quinn is smirking as he drinks some sort of smoothie with a straw as he glances at Cal. In front of him is a book which he was reading. Cal is sitting beside him, smiling back holding a smoothie on one of his hands, he's talking with Quinn, giving him a playful look.
Last drawing is a half body of Quinn and Cal in elegant outfits, Quinn is carrying Cal while he is placing his arms around Quinn's shoulders. They are looking at each other's eyes with a smile on their faces.

A lineup showcasing a WIP of three characters: Vir (an eladrin), Balance (a green tiefling), and Seren (a purple tiefling). Vir has yellow skin with blue cloudlike spots, teal hair with tomato leaves and flowers, they are wearing a pink top with jeans and leather combat boots. Balance is next, being the tallest of the group, his skin is teal, with orange extremities, and red tiger-like stripes across his limbs and face. They are wearing a crop top, and big baggy pants. He has dinosaur-like feet. At last, Seren is the smallest one of the bunch, their fuzzy skin has different shades of purple, they have a goat like nose and horns, they are wearing glasses, a little crop topped button shirt and a mini skirt.

A WIP of a expression sheet of Cal, a blue tiefling with pink hair. In the top left expression they are smiling, in the top right expression they are blushing with a bit of surprise and excitement, in the bottom left they are pouting, and in the bottom right they are wiling poking out their tongue.

Heyyy #PortfolioDay! I'm Hades, an illustrator and concept artist from Spain (Valencia) who loves working on TTRPG's and fantasy settings!

The image depicts an old English pub against a backdrop of green hills and a clear blue sky. The building is standing upright and moving, with two wooden arms extending out from each side at the bottom. The illustration is for a 5e adventure for 3rd-level players called The Pub Crawl, published by Crow&Crown.

Colored picture of Clemente Monet, an original character, a tiefling bard from Dungeons and Dragons. The picture is a bust, he's looking at the camera with a charming expression. His skin is orangey, with light blue eyes and reddish hair. He has the horns of a ram, with teal painted decorations, and wears an extravagant white shirt with a teal and gold vest. He has a tattoo of a sun that starts on his chest and ends on his chin.

A colored hal body portrait of Sebastian, a bugbear teenager from dungeons and dragons. He's looking at the camera with a shy expression, his right hand is behind his back and his left arm is hangin from his side. He has short, wavy brown hair, golden eyes and a pair of tusks poking out of his closed mouth. He has some facial hair, not because if his age but his species (bugbears are hairy folk). He wears a cream hood, a green shirt way bigger than he needs, and a wrapped white ad red cloth around his waist. On top of eveything he's carrying his weapon (a pickaxe) and a bag on a belt diagonal on his chest.

With a brown to white gradient background, the picture shows a really elaborate Victorian-looking wooden desk. The lower part has drawers and a glass cabinet, filled with papers and scrolls. In the middle section there is a mess of manuscripts and papers, it looks like a snapshot in the middle of a study session. On top are still more manuscripts and scrolls, a microscope, a clock, a human skull, plants and stuffed butterflies and moths ready for sorting and study. Above this desk hangs a lamp made of bronze that looks like a huge flying moth illuminating the scene.

Stylized illustration of a statue of Sleeping Beauty. It is made of white marble and surrounded by yellow roses and tall trees. There's swords sticking out of the ground in front of the statue and a big half moon hangs in the sky behind it.

Stylized illustration of a woman standing on a path holding a bucket. There's a big cloud in the background and the full moon peeking up behind it. Blue butterflies are flying out of the bucket and the woman looks up at them as they fly off.

A comic-style waist up illustration of my D&D character, Raiden, against a purple background. Raiden has brown hair that's half tied up, wears a billowing white pirate shirt and a blue sash around his waist. He has one hand on his hip and is grinning at something off-screen.

A more painterly illustration of Eursulon from Worlds Beyond Numbers 'The wizard, the witch and the wild one'. He is a spirit with animalistic features standing in a forest with one leg up on a rock while holding a sword and shield.

An illustration of my half-bird D&D character Mus. He is suspended in the air, big blue spectral wings emerging from his back. A blue, white and black feather float below. The background shows a large pink tree.

A four panel comic for a scene from my D&D game. The first panel is a tall establishing shot of a medieval city. The speech bubbles read: 'So... those two are definitely banging, right?' 'Ugh, stop.' 'Oh, come on!' The second panel shows the four party members walking through the city. Raiden, looking a little bruised, gestures dramatically and says: 'I just almost died, let me have this.' Annori waves her hand with an unimpressed expression and says 'You can't keep playing that card.' Third panel shows Raiden standing still but the group walking onwards. Raiden raises a finger in protest and says 'I can if it keeps happening!'. Annori shrugs and says: 'So stop almost dying!'. Final panel, the group has almost fully left the frame while Raiden stands in the distance with his arms spread wide, exclaiming: 'I'd LOVE to!'

Box art for Critical Role's Mighty Nein CLUE(DO). The Mighty Nein walk down a dark alley, surrounded by mysterious shadows. Nott and Jester sit at the front, looking at the viewer while investigating some sort of mystery.

I experimented with Blender and using 3D for the initial composition for this piece. It depicts a "new born" Keeper, a tall creature made of wood, coming out of their birthing pit. It has multiple heads and a wheel-like piece on it's back, that it's still ticking to the pit green slimy contents. Helping it coming out are two Kynda, these are smaller, woodland creatures. The one in front has leafy hair and flowing clothing.

A fantasy-themed promotional image for the Kickstarter campaign "Fen's Guide to Myriad Realms". The cover is featuring the traveler Fen, in a dark blue cloak holding a staff, surrounded by their swirling magical flame companion "Flicker". The background is a vivid, fantastical landscape with swirling skies, gnarled trees, a mysterious castle and glowing light.

2025 - crop from a limited tone fantasy family portrait

Two adventurers walk in the rain on a board walk in the woods, one with a bow at the ready, the other excitedly pulling her close. Their cat looks towards the foreground, where a dragonfly rests on a flower.

2025 limited color group commission

Inside a smokey dining room aboard a river boat pirate ship, a group of adventurers blow off steam. From left to right, an anxious squirrel has drunken to excess, a spirited otter teases them and toasts. A paternalistic skunk with a metal arm scolds them, while a delirious herbalist rabbit offers a solution, and the groups tinkerer, a sparrow, sits with an impulse of a food fight within reach.

2025 full color commission
portrait of a cat office at evening

in a dimly lit wooden study, a black long haired cat sits at a desk beginning needlework. She wears a plaid suit and sits in a sturdy chair, her tail wrapping around the frame of the desk. on her desk is a table cloth, and a top that is a whirring fan, a rotary phone, two books, a sake bottle and cup. A short hair siamese cat brings a steaming cup of tea. He wears a grey sweater with a red collar and cuff, and his tail sticks up energetically behind him.

2025 full color commission

in a dense forest, a goblin hides behind a rock and summons with the aid of a spellbook 3 spectral birds. On the horizon, a giant white elk turns its gaze towards their hiding spot.
