Hello #PortfolioDay! (tarot version)

I'm Everton Zomer, also known as Veto. I'm a fantasy illustrator for TTRPGs/TCGs and currently the Art Director for an upcoming TTRPG based on Brazilian folklore.

I love a good storytelling, nature, and tarot cards 🃏.

A woman in dark leather armor with rivets and straps looms over her victim in a dimly lit stone hall. She grips a bloodied dagger in one hand and holds her opponent’s hair with the other, forcing their head down. Her face is streaked with blood, and she smiles with a cruel, triumphant expression. Behind her, cloaked figures stand in shadow, while the setting sun glows red through an archway, casting an ominous light. At the bottom, golden letters frame the title: “The Dagger.”

A wealthy man sits on a grand throne in a dark, decaying banquet hall, dressed in rich robes with a red cloak and fur collar. He gazes forward with a cold, disdainful expression, surrounded by a feast of rotting food and dusty gold coins. Cobwebs stretch across the platters of moldy meat, spoiled fruit, and untouched pies. The once-opulent room is now filled with shadows and neglect, emphasizing themes of greed, waste, and isolation.

A mystical figure with dark, cracked stone-like skin and glowing golden veins dances barefoot atop sunlit desert dunes. They wear white flowing pants and a red sash, their elegant form wrapped in a swirling veil of sand that billows like a cloak. The scarf they hold aloft is etched with celestial symbols, glowing softly in the sunlight. In the hazy background, ancient sandstone buildings emerge from the dust as the sun rises, casting a radiant glow across the scene. The mood is serene and powerful, evoking timelessness and elemental grace.

A tarot card titled "The Warden" featuring a determined female adventurer crouching atop a hill, illuminated by a large full moon behind her. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, a red cape, and armor, with an array of daggers and tools strapped to her belt. In her hands, she holds two gleaming short swords, ready for action. The background is a dramatic night sky with scattered clouds, framing her silhouette against the moonlight. The scene conveys vigilance, readiness, and protection, emphasized by the golden frame of the card.

Digital artwork of a witch standing waist deep on a Bog, dead hands reaching out of the water. She wears brown clothing that's clinging to her, and smudges of mud on her skin. A heron stands in the tall grass in the background, and mushrooms grow on a fallen log in the foreground

Digital artwork of two characters. The man has on a leather vest over a flannel shirt, a compass rose tattoo on his arm, his brown hair blowing in the wind. He's leaning close to the woman, who has cherry pink hair in a twisting braid, wearing green overalls over a yellow tank top. She leans against a metallic wall covered in vines. A tornado rages in the background

Get in touch: www.alexandragallant.com

abstract illustration of consciousness - neurons floating in space, with interconnecting and branching tendrils and sparks

An illustration - a bunch of overlapping veins and arteries with different translucent organs interspersed throughout the illustration, the effect is a tangled web of branching vessels with various 'organ' shapes overlaying on top, including a lung in the center of the page

colorful illustration of a dozen toucans on a soft sea foamy green background

Two pages from a comic I'm working on

Page 1 is a single panel

'It can feel like plucking fruit off a tree... and seeing what's inside'
Illustration of a branch of a tree with peaches on it, and a cross section of a peach, instead of a pit, there is a brain

Page 2 is 4 panels

Panel 1: "...and sometimes" text over an illustration of a peach
Panel 2: "it's a pit" (cross section of a peach, with the pit visible)
Panel 3: "or a worm" (a fruit with a worm poking out of it)
Panel 4: "but sometimes... it's a universe" the brain/pit in the peach from the previous page is zoomed in and now has rings around it like a planet in space

What a needlessly complicated way of saying “we want you to pay so you can talk dirty to our robot”.

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 17h

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Watercolor illustration of a bunch of colorful pumpkins, with a beige striped cat sleeping on top of them curled up into a ball, slightly resembling the round pumpkins itself.

Traditional fan art in watercolor and colored pencil. It’s an illustration showing the Pokémon Ampharos, with a little Togepi in its arms, standing among bushes full of yellow flowers. A small house, trees and electrical poles can be seen in the background, with Mt. Fuji faintly hovering over them in the distance.
