Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Hale and I'm a digital illustrator ✌️

I make mostly original work centered on queer characters in historical and/or fantasy settings ✨ I'd love to work on more book covers, posters, and ttrpg content!

A drawing of a humanoid fish woman in a cropped shirt, athletic shorts, running on a dock while carrying a basket of fish over her head. She also is carrying one in her mouth. One fish has jumped out to freedom. Behind her are speech bubbles shouting "HEY! STOP!" In the background, which is framed within an oval, there is the ocean and a bright blue sky. An illustrated cover for the book "Widdershins" by Jordan L. Hawk. Whyborne is in the center casting a fire spell that creates a circle around him, Griffin to his right, and Christine to his left. Griffin is looking slyly at Whyborne, while Christine holds her rifle and casts a more serious glace at Whyborne. Behind them are building and the facade of the Ladysmith museum with swirling clouds above it. Below the character and the title text is a small island with glowing stones, surrounded by writhing tentacles an turbulent water. A small row boat with two figures can be seen approaching the island. The authors name is at the top. At the bottom it reads "Whyborne & Griffin #1". A digital illustration of a Black knight in gold chain mail and a red and white tabard playing a nylon-string guitar with a four-pointed star as a sound hole. The knight has additional armor, including blue metal vambraces, greaves, couters and one poleyne. The armor is dinged up and scratched, the other poleyne is missing and the tabbard, and boots are dirty and damaged. The knight's hair is in loose twists, escaping the hood of their mail and they play the guitar with a sorrowful expression on their face. a digital illustration of an anthro cat holding a fish in her mouth. She is wearing a beanie. she is holding a fishing rod over her shoulder with both hands. Shes wearing brown overalls over a blue turtleneck. Fishing nets are drawn in the background which is otherwise plain.

So my first tip for this is just Read a Lot of Comics. have comics in your bookshelf (real or virtual) that you can flip through for inspiration and see how other artists are working and what/how they fit visuals into a panel. I read a lot of manga on my phone, and every time i see a page that--

Do you have any general tips on how to improve comic layouts/paneling? I want to start making proper comics but paneling is something I really struggle with (especially when it comes to making sure my sketch compilations fit the panel size while still being effective/showing everything I want)

give me a break, just make a post or web page like a normal person. I shouldn't need to join a closed community just to look something up

the flag carrier! this one i'm tempted to keep myself..
#art ✧ #horse ✧ #painting
Small painting with a stylized red horse in the middle, carrying a flag that is attached on the saddle it has on the back. The background is dark greyish green with golden stars and a circle behind the horse's head. The red horse has a detailed saddle piece with some extra parts going in front and back of it. Mohawk mane and short tail, both cream colored. The flag is very long and also has some details in it made with the same colors as the others which is yellow, red, white and same green that is on the background.

korzha and matia sillies :3
The first of three panels sketched in the style of screen captures. It features Korzha waking up on the ground dazed and Matia seems to be lying in the background relaxing. The second panel. A birds eye view sketch of Matia and Korzha reclined in the Ozera parking lot. Korzha is speaking to Matia. Matia's truck can be seen off the the left. The subtitles read "Why are we lying in the parking lot?" The third panel. The perspective is looking at Matia over Korzha's shoulder as Matia is speaking and gesturing with a cigarette. The subtitles read "You passed out hauling barrels so I laid down next to you so it would look like we were chillin."

Patrons get weekly access to the process of my next project, a false materia medica titled "On the Preparation and Use of Medicinal Divinities".

patreon.com/treelet
An image of two humanoid figures side-by-side, one with the head of a bird, the other with a star for a head. A crowned eye and a set of tangled, alien ribs is drawn on their chests. Behind them are circular star maps, and further back abstract organic tubes. Parts of them are labeled: eyes, mind, suffering, desire, flesh, blood. The title reads: "On the Preparation and Use of Medicinal Divinities by D. Taphanel"

I really fucking love working on this comic. I love writing about resisting fascism and illustrating it with cute middle aged women. If you haven't read it yet, you should start!

is there any interest in one page b/w shippy comic commissions like this honor bound comic I did last year? it could be a pairing of your choice including ocs in a scenario of your choosing as long as it fits onto one page
