good morning #PortfolioDay !

i'm viktor, a trans gay illustrator, looking for work in books, ttrpgs, and comics. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 historical fiction, fashion, and fantasy is my cup of tea ✨🌿🌸🍵 would love to work with more queer authors and fantasy book boxes!

A digital illustration of a scene from AV Wilkes' 'All the White Spaces'. Jonathan, a trans man and the protagonist, stands in the centre, facing the viewer. He stares ahead in horror, his right hand clutching his throat. From his left eye, strands of bleeding red aurora stretch outwards. These auroras show visions of Jonathan's brothers on the Western Front of the First World War:
- A moustached officer smokes a cigarette in a trench, looking away.
- A soldier is twisted in the remains of barbed wire.
- Three soldiers wear gas masks, emerging from clouds of mustard gas.
- No Man's Land exploded to all hell. A tank is submerged in a shell hole in the distance.
- A skull pressed into the earth.
- A soldier holds a rifle and makes his way across the strait of No Man's Land.

Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers.
Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace.
Right: Two male characters stand in front of each other, staring at the other. One is shorter, and wears a mustard yellow jumper, looking annoyed. The other is taller, with frizzy blonde hair, a purple hoodie, and looks smug. A border of cat toys surrounds them. A cat lies down, arching over the two men, and has a smile on his face.

2 different portrait illustrations side by side.
Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers.
Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels.
Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry.
Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion.
Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it.

A double page spread of a comic. The first page shows a twisted tree in the centre, the space between each branch a panel showing a plague blighting a kingdom. The protagonist called Wolfgang is engulfed in the blighted roots of the twisted tree in the throes of a nightmare. A voice tells him "Take heed, young Durward. These lands know only death, and within its centre, a horror festers. It feasts on all its roots can teach, and what life remains dwindles."
The second page shows a close up of the branches of this twisted tree. Between its panels are images of rot, bodies in body bags, dead fish floating, and the branches are infested with maggots. The voice continues "Soon, there will be naught to satisfy its hunger. But for every poison, there is an antidote."

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Guys, Sam Altman owns OpenAI. He knows what a bullshit job is. He knows what bullshit work is. He is profits handsomely off of bullshit. What he's actually talking about is, (and this is almost always true of these billionaire freaks) is eugenics. He is talking about who is disposable.

شادي و ميادة و هما واقفان على ضفة البحر و خلفهما اسطنبول في وقت الفجر، اضواء المباني التي لما تضأ بعد، جو الفجر الهادئ و انعكاس ضوء المسجد على البحر.

‎شادي و ميادة في الماضي، شعر شادي اطول و شعر ميادة اقصر، يلبس شادي قميصا ابيضا و يسحب قميص ميادة بينما تسحبه هي و تدفعه في نفس الوقت لتمنعه من تقبيلها، تحمر ميادة خجلا بينما تضحك و تخبر شادي ان يتوقف

رسمة بمشهد كامل لشادي و ميادة في مصعد احمر بعد ان انتهوا من مقاتلة اعدائهم، تقف ميادة امام شادي في المصعد بينما ظهرهما الى ناحية الكاكيرا و الباب، بينما تمسك ميادة خناجرها و تنظر إلى المشاهد و يمسك شادي مسدسه و ينظر امامه

And speaking of spectacular things, Jim Campbell's colors are incredible. I've hear from credible sources that coloring Karolina Dean is a pain, and even if we don't se her much in this issue, just look at the amazing work Mr. Campbell did with her!
