HOWDY AND HELLO #PortfolioDay I'm Kate, a freelance character artist who loves drawing fantasy, women, and especially fantasy women!!!!
I'll be open for work at the start of November!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with deep blue skin, closed eyes, tall curved horns with a glowing crescent moon between them, and long wavy hair going from indigo at the top to pale gold at the ends. She is dressed in an indigo gown with lots of gold trim and accessories and sheer blue accent cloth. She is holding a large golden greatsword with blue roses and purple thorns around the guard. The background is an art nouveau-style circular graphic of gold celestial motifs on a black to maroon gradient.

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with teal skin, darker turquoise hair in a braid, closed eyes, and a long tail. She is dressed in layers of red, gold, green, and turquoise, and she is holding a wooden staff with a golden lantern hanging from the top. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of stylized grass, lotuses, and clouds on a sunset gradient.

A color illustration of a gorgon woman with light and darker green skin/scales, long dark green cobra hair separated by narrow horns, and a long tapered tail. She is dressed in a dark green bustier with gold trim and lots of accessories, and she is holding two crossed swords behind her head. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of thorns and ivy on a black to yellow gradient.

A color illustration of my changing moon Lunar oc, Emerald, from an exalted game. She is a middle-aged woman with fair skin, emerald-green eyes with striking red eyeshadow, and long iridescent black hair partly held up by a golden comb with the rest pulled over one shoulder. She is dressed in an elegant green gown with puffy sleeves and a boob window, lots of gold and green jewelry, and a translucent green and gold floaty scarf thingy. The background is a simple green gradient with a crescent moon behind her head.

A digital sketch of a woman-like shape made of gnarled wood, flesh, and flowers. The majority of the upper half of her head hollowed out and missing.
In a void in the figure's back, the face and hands of a woman peers out, cold eyes looking at the viewer.

A terrifying army of well armored orc-like creatures, zombie wolves, a zombie bear, and ranks of giant ogres stare you down. One orc-like creature is a conjuring glowing red magic which illuminates this dark scene. These are my versions of the Darkspawn from the video game series Dragon Age. Digital painting.

Three female kalavinka, half human-half bird spirits from Buddhist folklore, are flying through the air while playing music. One is singing, one is playing percussion, one is playing electric guitar. Digital painting.

Rat King. Ten thousand scurrying rats fill the robe, hold the scepter, lift the sword, wear the crown. Digital painting.

landscape of branches and roots growing around a small puddle of water. a blue raven stands above it with a feather in his beak, peering down into the water.

three small abstract landscape paintings. Green seaweed looking one, a green stone formation that can be a city or forest, and a green and yellow natural formation that can be a leaf breaking apart

Two book cover paintings. a blue one with a man and a sword, looking tired and worn, and a burnt hand besides him. the background is abstract shapes hidden by misty swirls.

The second image is of a city. There is a crowd of people that are just forms, and one man standing out in a red trenchcoat and white eyes staring at the viewer.

dark blue landscape of two woods meeting for a conversation. It can also possibly be a single tree split down the middle.

She is wearing a dark blue dress, a blue cape with a celestial pattern, a dark veil resembling a braid, and a second, thin, semi-transpernt flowy veil with starry emroidery. Silver jewelry complements the whole outfit. The background is an elongated frame containg cosmic space—dark, full of stars.

One of them is wearing a dark blue dress with flowery and celestial decorations and is holding the other in her arms and stabbing him with a long dagger. In the background, there are sand dunes, mountains and the night sky.

Digital painting of a winged centaur. He has curly hair and facial beard, and his horse half is white, and extremely furry. His human half is covered in tattoos and white body hair, and he is wielding a mace/hammer weapon that is in the shape of a horse head.

Digital painting of a pterosaur-like beast called "Wyvern Of The Sea". Its head, neck and upper torso is mostly white, it has a long yellow bill with sharp tips similar to a snapping turtle, a crest on top of its top beak, and an expandable pouch on its throat, similar to a pelican. There is a voluminous pouch of expandable sac around its neck and chest, similar to a Frigatebird, but it seems more decorative than functional. Its lower torso is a black color, with strong bird legs, that have blue webbed feet, similar to the bird Booby. Its tail is long, with fins running on its side, and on its tips.

It has wings that are more webbed than they are feathered, with a protruding thumb similar to a bat's, and three noticeable digits that are flat than they are wiry. It seems this creature is more reptilian and hydrodynamic, than it is avian and capable of flight.

Digital painting of an elegant merman. There is a glow of royal blue coming out of a cavity in middle of his upper torso in the middle that extends to his abdomen, and out of two columns of holes in his bottom portion. His tail seems to be a hollow flesh and the blue magic extends out to form his fish tail. There is a royal blue sword on top of the character; the sword is slim and sharp, and the blade is sculpted to have an impaled fish on its end.
