hi there #PortfolioDay !! 💕

in mint, a german character artist and illustrator planning to branch out into comics! i love fantasy settings, fictional idols, dark mysteries and cozy family feels 🌱✨

mostly oc stuff here if you're interested 😙

a digital drawing of my oc hyeonu holding a decorated bluish-pink cake with strawberries, the words "Happy Birthday Hyeonu" written on it, as well as a single candle burning in its middle. Hyeonu is grinning at the viewer, his face illuminated by the candle. He wears a birthday hat on his dark, styled hair, and a white hoodie. The background wall is a blueish-purple with some letters from a birthday garland hanging into the frame. it's very much referencing typical kpop idol birthday photos.

snippet of a drawing of my oc koya wearing pink heart-shapes glasses and throwing a finger heart at the viewer as he winks.

part of a digital illustration of an anime boy version of youtuber technoblade. he is standing, looking over his shoulder to the viewer. with an arm possibly made from ivory covered in blue markings he is holding a golden bird cage in which is a white bird skelleton surrounded by a black smokey silhouette. two more cages like this with different animals can be seen in the fore- and background. techno is wearing a white shirt with wide ruffled sleeves, a black corset that is wrapped with many many jewelry chains that adorn his waist and reflect the lighting. he is also wearing a white mask with blue markings similar to a white-blue porcelain plate. the mask and his face, tusk and ears have golden markings like when a broken plate is repaired with gold. his eyes aren't really vible as they just glow a bright golden-white color. his ears are pointy, fade to black at their tips and are adorned with more golden jewelry including a sparkling green emerald. his pink hair is waist length and open behind his body. in the backgroun are chains hanging from above. techno's body is brightly lit and his body practically glowing. at the same time the background is a very dark blue making it look a bit like he's solely illuminated in a dark room.

good morning #PortfolioDay !

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."

Tomo 🍁 Normal™ About OCs @artifedex.bsky.social · 3h

Hi there #portfolioday!!

I'm Tomo, a self-taught artist from the US, and I draw anime style illustrations of my OCs (and others' OCs) mostly as a hobby. I'm currently making a rough comic, and plan to restart my other larger/main comic project in the future too! 🫶

comicfury.com/profile.php?...

An illustration of my OC Shino in two different poses. In the background she's making bunny ears out of her hands, and in the foreground she's sitting holding a white spotted rabbit, with a brown rabbit on her shoulder.

An illustration of my OCs Kei and Kiku, in a scene in front of a small Shinto shrine. Kei is in the foreground, sitting on the steps and holding his hand out to catch a maple leaf. Kiku is in the background, half transparent as a ghostly figure, and he's holding a maple leaf in his hand.

Illustration of my friend's OC Rika, as he hugs his dog Momo. The subtitle on the image says "Together forever with Momo..."

Illustration of my OC Misaki sporting two different outfits. The left one is a sailor-inspired outfit with a brown half-jacket, and the right one is a crop top blouse with little short shorts.

hihi #portfolioday ☁️

i'm Honey! i'm a digital artist who draws a lot of pointy ear folks, mostly my ocs, and especially my pink starry elf! i especially love pastels and starry/constellation themes! 🌸🌌

my commissions are also open! 💖
Vgen | Carrd

an illustration of Honey's elf sona/oc, he is resting his leg on a table and partially sitting whilst using a hand for support. he's holding a glass of a galaxy coloured drink with his other hand and is wearing and black and blue dress with stars and constellations on it,
he is seemingly checking up on the person and maybe asking if they want another drink?
on the table is a candle and a bottle of wine that reads "constellation's kiss" on the label with the constellation Cygnus (the swan) at the top.
behind him are stars and 4 constellations, those being from left to right, Phoenix, Aquila, Aries and Pavo

a chibi illustration of Honey's elf sona/oc. he is holding a pink and white umbrella that has heart designs and big bow on it, he is also floating with it. he is looking at the viewer with a big smile and is using his constellation magic to make a heart shaped constellation

an illustration of Honey's oc Zephyr, they're a tiefling with blueish/greyish skin, long black hair, and sky blue eyes, their horns curl like ram horns and they also have a black floofy tip to their tail, there's some jewellery on their tail with two constellations on the gold bands, one being Aquila and the other Lupus, there's also two astrology symbols attached to the gold bands, one is the sun ☉ and the other is the moon ☾
they also wear a necklace with an aquamarine pendant
they're leaning back against some balcony railings and looking at the viewer. there's also some autumn trees in the background

an illustration of Honey's oc Sirius, they're a sassy little elf with purpleish skin and short, fluffy white hair with two longer parts of their hair near the front, they also have purple and yellow eyes and wear starry themed clothes and accessories.
in the bigger drawing they're looking to the side with a slightly judgey expression
in the little chibi doodle they're eating their favourite fruit grapes, and have an unamused/bored expression, they can be very sassy and may judge every now and then, but they still care, just in their own way~
