Hi #portfolioday
I'm Newt, a freelance artist, roleplayer and a folklore nerd based in Prague, Czechia.

Looking for work at the moment and would love to do more book covers, book illustration, TTRPG art and game/animation concept art!

a cropped detail of a digital illustration showing a crazed village woman mid-transformation into a corvid demon. the light from the moon is red and she is levitating in a corn field, her body contorting and a crazed smile adorning her face.

a digifal illustration depicting a sunlit forest clearing on which a ruined fort stands. its built of white stone with ivy slowly overtaking it a d through out the image, there are a few goblins scattered, patrolling the grounds. the one we see most clearly, on the foreground carries a spear and a grin on his face.

portrait of a brown haired pale man done in the style of an old looking oil painting. it is contained on a thin oval frame a d lit by a single point above. it shows a man wringing out his hands on a dirty rag. he is dressed in a worn white shirt, daek waiscoat and a pale yellow necktie. his hair is falling loosely around his face in a messy ponytail and gis face bears marks of decay. his eyes are glazed over like eyes of a corpse and he has the look of tightly concealed anguish on his face.

digital illustration depicting riders dressed in decorated, east slavic folklore inspired garb, mounted on giant goats, flying thru the sunset-lit orange sky. they have gleefull expressions on their face and are adorned in many shiny pieces of jewelery.

A painting of a knight in a fourteenth century inspired armor, wearing plate armor with a bascinet type helmet and black and green clothes with dagged ends. He is wielding a one handed arming sword and shield.

A drawing of a woman in scale, plate and mail armor, with blue and brown cloths and a red hat. She is wielding a sword and shield. The shield is painted with a picture of a woman in a red dress, holding a sword in one hand and a decapitated, bearded head in the other.

collage of several illustrated ttrpg characters. Left to right: An adventurer half orc lady with a huge Warhammer across her shoulders, on which are perched two round robins; a monk turned swashbuckler half elf in a peach tunic holding a mysterious crystal pendant that glows green like a tropical sea; a mountain elf ranger walking on a stony path, holding her thick wool cape up to let a group of elephant shrews pass by. painted by illustrator Lise Baron.

Book cover representing the two main characters of the book framed by a full page of ornaments. Teriana on the right, a young woman with a deep dark skin and large blue eyes, wearing ornate waist long braids, a large white linen pirate shirt and a collection of gold bangles. Marcus on the left, a fierce blond Roman-like commander with a large scar on his right cheek, wears a cuirrasse with a XXXVII embossed, a thick red cloak. A golden dragon ornates his leather belt. Dark Shores is written by Danielle L. Jensen. This cover is the french pocket format, published by éditions Bragelonne and painted by illustrator Lise Baron.

Painterly painting of a centaur-ibex granny climbing a cliff to harvest her hawks' eggs, by illustrator Lise Baron. On the cliff we can see the bird's nest, a domesticated squirrel picking one of its eggs. In the distance, warmly illuminated mountains and on the edge of a cliff, a little farmstead waiting for her to return. The scene is full of rocks, grass and little flowers. painted by illustrator Lise Baron

Digital painting study of Shishkin’s “Rye”; Serene end of the day landscape. Looking over a rye field from a wildflower overgrown dirt path, to great green trees carved over a warm grey overcast sky.

And some rarely seen but still much loved (by me) black and white pieces. Chapter headers, a temporary tattoo design, and an interior full page illustration.

A chapter header from A Mourning Coat. A drawing of various sewing notions in ink lines and digital washes of grey- a pincushion, scissors shaped like a cassowary, a measuring tape, buttons and various spools of thread.

A chapter header from North Continent Ribbon. An ink drawing of a thick tome with an ornate 8-pointed star on the cover, an elaborate lock, and a long ribbon bookmark
ALT

A drawing, in ink, of a snake curling over a rectangular shape filled with a drawing of a hemlock plant. Where the snake overlaps the rectangle, it is scaled, where the snake is outside the rectangle, it is skeletal.
ALT

From Neon Hemlock's Unfettered Hexes: Queer Tales of Insatiable Darkness. A gouache and ink painting depicting a lonesome little house on an expansive prairie. Wind blows the grass and the very sky seems like it's pressing in on the structure. Light glows from one window.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Jasper, a fantasy illustrator working in TTRPG/TCG/publishing.

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand).

Illustration from first person view, showing a hand holding up an opalescent stone with a hole in the center. The stone has brass filigree, and through the hole is a view of a mountain sheep. The background is a mountainous landscape. There are slight magical effects showing that the view through the stone is a zoomed in view of the background.

An alabaster gargoyle and a feminine figure dressed in black robes with their faces shadowed by hoods. The pair are within a gothic styled church, standing before an altar on a dais, preaching to spectators behind the POV. Candles cast plenty of light in the room despite the flames being purple, and all the decorations and the architecture is gothic in design. They look as though they are in the middle of performing a sermon in unison
