If insomnia were a skill, I'd spec into it for #PortfolioDay.
Until then: off-hour scrolling and a ridiculous amount of admiration 😍🦇🌙

I really like how the dagger became part of the story thanks to the reflection on the blade 😊✨

Happy to take on one more project this year 📚

Cover illustration for May The Dead Keep You by Jill Baguchinsky (portrait of a red haired girl with a half decayed woodpecker covering half of her face. I swear it looks really cool.)

Spooky illustration for a short story featuring a house that is also the body of a ghost boy. The boy is trapped and reaches out to his crying mother outside.

Cover illustration for Don't Let The Forest In by CG Drews. Portrait of a blond boy with slashes obscuring his face. Through the openings thorny vines and roses grow.

A serene, pale face surrounded by lots of worms and insects.

The illustration of the woman with blind eyes that is surrounded by light.
She has peony flower in her hands and many, many eyes in her body that are visible from the cuts.

Hiya #portfolioday!

I'm Graey, Fantasy/SF Illustrator and Concept Artist. I've been working in #ttrpg and miniatures for the past 12 years, with a bit of video game visdev where I can. Currently looking for full time or contract work!

A huge spectral blue centipede swirls through the air around a tall Elven woman with sharp features and windswept hair. A black cloak billows around her shoulders as she raises a hand glowing with Magenta magic to cast through an elaborate staff, her blue eyes burn from the shadow of her wide-brim hat. Spider lilies dot the base of a small shrine to a centipede god in the foreground. The ghostly apparition seems to originate from the smoke of its incense.

A Kitsune Magus summons 5 motes of foxfire while wreathed in a magical aurora. They have the cross fox fur pattern and are bundled up in a Greatcoat with lots of occult odds and ends tucked into belt pouches and a purple sash. Their rock familiar hangs from a netted bag on their belt, with a battered red spellbook is stowed on the opposite side.

A Tanglefolk (Similar folk to Halflings) woman smiles at the viewer. She is dark skinned with tightly curled hair dyed blue toward its tips, she wears colorful yellow and blue clothing with bright geometric patterns and is covered in pouches and stowage for wares and small objects. She has a Songstaff slung over her shoulder, a blend between Ocarina and walking stave, it whistles when swung or as the Tanglefoot sprint at their famed high speeds.

An illustration of my take on a 'hound' of Tindalos from the Lovecraft Mythos. Rather than a dog it is shaped more like a Gulper eel with eerily humanoid limbs and a barbed tongue. It floats elegantly like smoke from a sharp angle torn in reality.

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
