Hello #portfolioday!

I'm Dáire, an Irish artist, and I create work with strong narrative elements, with particular interests in folklore, fantasy, and darker themes. I paint in oils or gouache and can work across multiple styles. I'm available for projects! ⚔️

Oil painting portrait of a woman who looks out to the viewer with a vacant, somewhat melancholy expression. She has dark hair that falls in waves. In her mouth there are strands of grass poking out from been her pink lips. She wears a crown of yellow heath Oil painting showing the profile of a dead woman's face. She is laying amongst green and yellow grasses, with several different flowers growing around her, giving the impression she has been there for a while. Her hair is red. There is a crow nibbling her eyebrow, and a magpie perches on her chin with her lip clasped in its beak. The woman's skin is green tinged. One half open clouded eye looks out at the audience Scan of a gouache painting. Rowan, the Tarnished, is framed in the centre of the piece by a golden archway. Her long red hair flows down her back, spilling out of her black hood. Her expression is determined, but half of her face is heavily scarred, with the scarred side hidden as much as possible behind strands of hair. In one armoured hand she clutches Eleanora's poleblade, a red twinblade, while in the other she holds a long blade. The Haligtree backs her, with small scarlet aeonia flowers in bloom. Outside of her frame, a red sunset paints the sky while blue flowers bloom beneath. Oil painting showing a figure of a young woman in a white dress with a sickle at her side raising a hand to Death, who wears a wreath of Autumn leaves. The young woman's face is hidden by twigs strapped to her head, masking her.

Hello, #PortfolioDay!

I’m Iga and I’m an artist based in Scotland. I specialise in character artwork and love to play with texture.

Open for commissions and freelance work! Feel free to reach out directly, as I’m in the process of updating my website.

A selection of nine portraits - mostly commissioned by various clients as well as two personal pieces. They’re all done digitally in painterly style with visible brushstrokes and deep colours. There are vampires, vieras, elves, lizards, dragons and other humanoid but ethereal creatures. Two painted book cover illustrations side by side, both showing a pale blond man and a brown-haired woman. The one on the left shows the figures lying down on the dark ground as they gaze longingly at one another. The one on the right has the man holding the woman in a dramatic pose as she awakens to her vampiric powers. Illustrations commissioned by Cat Rector for her novels: Coal Gets In Your Veins and Learning to Bleed. Two watercolour portraits displaying loose brushwork. On the left - Maelle from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a young girl with red hair in a ponytail. On the right - a woman with dark hair and flushed cheeks.

Hi! I’m a Ukrainian artist exploring the shadowy corners of the soul through dark, ethereal, and mystical art.
My work is inspired by nature, gothic aesthetics, and the beauty of melancholy.
I’m drawn to mysterious places, old cemeteries, vintage things, dark music, and quiet books.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.
