Hello #portfolioday I'm Audre ('charamath') & I usually work as a vis-dev/concept artist (specializing in designing critters) for animation & games. Nowadays I'm working on my own stuff, including several new illustrated books & an indie game, while I wait for jobs to rebound. linktr.ee/charamath.

A blue pencil with white and pink ink stylized drawing of gengar, lampent, litwick and ghastly prancing across a smoky white background.

a cropped shot of a digital illustration of glass carousel horses on a carousel. They're are frozen in poses of anguish as their brass poles are skewering them cruelly through their heads. Gold blood pours out and forms delicate tendrils of tack along their bodies

An illustration of a goliath hunter on his mount in snowy mountain terrain, facing off against a crag cat. The Goliath is a young man, dressed in brown and white furs, accented with red and blue woven panels. He wields a red horsebow. His mount is a mixture of a reindeer and a markhor goat. His tack and gear matches the colors and motifs of his rider. He is mid leap. In the foreground, a white sabertoothed cat pursues the pair. In the background are snowy peaks and Giant ruins.

A digital portrait of an elven woman with golden blonde hair in sweeping chignon. She holds a hand to her chin, looking over her shoulder, eyes down cast. She wears shades of blue and gold.

A cleric astride a flying broom raises a glowing sword above a battle field. Golden, rays of bright light stream out from the sword. Her party members and herself are wrapped in golden glowing flowers and vines. They stare up at her in awe.

The party members, counter clockwise from the top left are: A dwarven artificer wearing jeweltones and riding a magic carpet, the cleric wearing a gold breastplate and blue robes; a giant fighter in full adamantine plate and a dragon helm; a half-drow Psi-fighter in blues and purples, floating mid-air and holding her crossbow; and a tiefling ranger, arms stretched out in joy and relief.

Behind the party members is a truly gargantuan giant, you can see him only up to his knees. He wears silver greaves and you can catch a glimpse of his great axe.

Ruins of a city are in the distant background.

A giant-sized cowgirl reclines in the pasture with her livestock (primarily cows, with a few chickens sneaking in) as the sun rises off screen.

She has red hair in pigtail braids and wears a cowboy hat and boots along with a magenta and leather western bodice, and suede pants with runic inspired panel/stitch detailing.
The crescent moon and the tears of Selene are between a horizon of red rock hills and puffy pink clouds. A barn with thatched roof is nestled in the shadow beneath a crag at the right edge of the image.

Hey #portfolioday I usually make stuff for things like ttrpgs & movies. The last 2 yrs have been a lot of applying/rejections & it was making me think things like ‘you’ll never work again’/‘you were never good enough to stay’. So I said F*ck it & started making my own things.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.
