Rest in peace, Drew Struzan. His movie posters are much more than marketing. They're some of the finest pop art you'll ever see. Look at this masterpiece:

Hi #PortfolioDay 🐟

I'm Fish and I'm a self-taught multimedia artist; I primarily work with dip pen/ink and watercolor. I do anime/manga fanart, teach, and I'm working on a manga-style webcomic called Best Savored After Dark ☕

rnbwtroutstudios.carrd.co

A watercolor painting of Donquixote Doflamingo from One Piece. He is sitting cross-legged in a chair against a black background and is framed by pink feathers. One arm is resting on the seat, the other is raised up and coming toward the viewer at the top of the image. There are white strings coming from the raised hand. He is laughing and looking down on the viewer.

A watercolor painting of the Roy Mustang vs. Lust scene from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Mustang is in the background on the left; he is holding a lighter out toward the foreground with one hand, holding a wound on his stomach with the other, and smoke is billowing from him. Lust is in the foreground facing away from the viewer, only her head is visible and her hair is coming outside the page borders. She is pointing a sharp weapon (lol can't think what to call it. Finger?) at Mustang. They're set against a black and gray watercolor and ink background.

A digital drawing of my OC Beck. They appear to be sitting and are sipping from a take out coffee cup. Their skin is purple, their hair is a very dark purple, and their eyes are yellow with black sclera. They are wearing gold rimmed glasses, various face piercings, and a yellow and black short sleeves hoodie. There is no background.

A manga style comic pages featuring my OC Aaliyah. This page was drawn in ink, then edited and laid out digitally. There are four panels.

The first panel at the top of the page shows Aaliyah's hands wiping a surface with a cloth.

The second panel shows Aaliyah from the chest up. She has dark skin, braids, and is wearing a t-shirt, apron, and bandana. She looks frustrated and is lost in thought, thinking, "So if I get off at 6 I probably got 5 hours to cram... Maybe 6 if I skip dinner. Can I hit everything on the study guide in that time?". Off to the side in this panel someone says "hello!".

The third panel shows Aaliyah's hand wiping off a milk steamer/frother.

The fourth panel shows Aaliyah at a further distance; she is standing behind a coffee shop counter. She looks upset and is closing her eyes and frowning, thinking, "I shouldn't have gone home this weekend." Off to the side someone says, "hello-" and "um-".

Hello #PortfolioDay!

I'm Oliver, a queer and disabled artist/writer based in the UK. I love to paint with ethereal lighting and playing with lost edges.

Whilst my illnesses are too severe for work, I still take part in charity projects and mutual aid (see below) and happy to be invited!

A digital landscape painting with oil like brushes. Two characters kiss underwater, holding hands as they float through the water. Cyrus, left, is a tall Black man and wears fantasy travel like clothes with knee boots, baggy trousers and a sleeveless jacket with fur around the neck. He has long red dreadlocks floating around him in the water and pointed ears. Niko, right, is a slim light skinned man with long wavy navy hair. He wears blue toned princely attire with thigh high leather boots and golden details. He has a long pointed ear with a red earring. The piece has blue tones with bright warm sun reflecting off the riverbed background and off their clothes.

A digital semi realism painting with oil like brushes, showcasing Sothis, a youthful goddess with light skin and long, wavy emerald green hair in thick ponytails. She wears a blue purple dress with a black leather chest piece and golden details down her torso and on a thick circlet. She holds her hands over Garreg Mach, a castle in mountains surrounded by dramatically shaped clouds that swirl around her. Behind her are more natural clouds hit with sunlight. This casts Sothis in a golden glow from the side and beneath her, casting highlights on the lower half of her face.

Older depictions of Sylvain and Felix from Fire Emblem Three Houses in a digital oil style. They sit together on a wooden bench on a balcony, looking at warm moonlight together. A wall is behind them with an open window on a hatch, and leaves dangling around the building. A table is nearby with cloth, a pitcher and glasses. Felix wears turquoise robes with his canon boots, a stick propped next to him. His navy hair is longer, tied into a low side ponytail. Sylvain sits on his right, wearing a reddish brown jacket, a turquoise waistcoat and black trousers with knee high brown boots. He leans to Felix with a hand on his hip. He has a beard.

A digital oil like painting of Sorey and Mikleo from Tales of Zestiria in a realism style. Sorey carries Mikleo in a bridal carry, fingers spread as though pleading. His face is covered in dark shadows and he smiles sadly with blood dripping down his face, one leg on a tree stump and the other shown in perspective from above on the forest floor. Sorey wears his white cape with feather details and buckled boots over dark baggy trousers. Mikleo is sprawled lifeless in his arms, his own arms limp, blood dripping down on one and through the chest of his turquoise and white jacket with gold embellishments. There are leafless trees behind them against a cool backdrop, and dying flames are on the forest floor.

Gorgeous works! They have that "old 70-80s" illustration vibe in a best sense! And the second one is gouache! That's stunning! ❤️

Beautiful works! The characters you draw feel real although they are from fantasy settings. But they feel very material. People with their own stories. 😍

I'm depressed, neurodivergent and English is my third language. So sometimes I struggle not just with alt-text but with basic communication. But I try to write alt text every time anyway. Just very slowly.

porn is not evil.

pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

Artist’s mark “No” and website “IONO.CA” appear in the upper corner.

An illustrated book cover for Help Wanted by J. Emery. The cover features a harassed-looking raven sitting upon an open book on a desk. Behind the raven the desktop is strewn with several several sheets of paper, stacks of books, a smoking candle, and stray feathers. The title is included inside speech bubble coming from the raven.

Book cover for The Distance Between Stars and Salt by Alex Harvey-Rivas. It's a dark blue graphical cover, framed by an hourglass motif composed of stars. The top half of the cover is taken up by the title, which is drawn to include the Maltese cross motif. The bottom half depicts a luzzu tossing on a turbulent sea, below which is the author's name. In the background are subtle constellations.

Cover art for the web novel Tales from Aurea. The title features a sword as the T in Tales and two dragons forming an infinity symbol in the background. Five characters stand ready to fight under a solar eclipse. From left to right: Leif, a man with a battle axe and cocky expression; Jo, a muscular woman with a mischievous grin; Kaja, a small, nervous girl with dragon horns and a tail; Sakrattars, an elf wizard with a spell book and a toad on his head; Amale, an anthropomorphic painted dog holding a bow.

A full wraparound book cover for Stories from the Deep, The Chronicles of Nerezia – 4 by Claudie Arseneault.

Hi! I'm Jan, I'm a cover artist and character designer for MM novels!

Cover art for a 2nd book in the series called 52 HZ
It shows a young man with black hair and his eyes closed floating in water and a huge whale is visible behind his head.
Another man with read hair is sitting in the director's chair in the front plane as if he's imagining the first young man as his creative vision.

A book cover: Rears & Vices by E.M. Caro. The cover has three men: an auburn-haired man, a black-haired man, and a blond man, all dressed in early 19th century clothing, all clearly sailors. The auburn-haired man is embracing the black-haired man across the shoulders. The blond is standing protectively by, holding the hilt of his sword.

Cover of "The Mage and his stolen prince" by J.E. Ridge

A young man in black clothes and long silver hair sits on a stone ruin. Another man with bright red hair sits near his feet and leans his head towards the blond man's knee.
They both hold magical purple flowers in their hands.
A beautiful mysterious garden is in the background.
