Shenorai : Vgen Open! @shenorai.bsky.social · 7h

I may have missed #PortfolioDay, but I'll throw my hat in.

I'm best known as Shenorai!

I primarily specialize in cel-shaded #OC pieces.
I'll eventually upload Spiritcaller: An EternalRPG Tale onto Newgrounds;
shenorai.newgrounds.com

We see Ashiru Bellark and Kaya Dhuriya-Eterna cuddling together on the couch.

Against a transparent backdrop, we see the main cast of Spiritcaller: An EternalRPG Tale.

From left to right stands Farius Tetra, Blake Tetra, Ashiru Bellark, Leondra Solvane, Shenorai Eterna, Clive Tetra, and Derrek Tetra.

In a goofy Halloween crossover, we have HatCatMoby's Jirou Kisaragi and Ethan Hynes dressed in costume against a white and black backdrop for Spy vs Spy.

Jirou is dressed as Black Spy.
Ethan is dressed as White Spy.

Against a backdrop of pink hearts, we see Kiki's mercenary siblings, Nadya, Erem, and Karin, all dressed as the Powerpuff Girls!

Nadya sits upon Erem's shoulder, dressed as Bubbles!
Erem flexes with Nadya on his shoulder, dressed as Blossom!
Karin smiles and gives a small flex, dressed as Buttercup!

. my turn to catch you

Articás was able to help Caelia when she got thrown out of a grappling ring after a thorough defeat, happy to be there for her when she's usually the one who has his back as his bodyguard. (She was so not flustered at all or anything--)

#oc #ocsky #sketch

Pencil sketch of two characters, Caelia and Articás. He is behind her, holding her shoulder and arm, and looking at her with a smile, while she also smiles at him her expression and posture is a little more timid.

New character means new weird and ominous art of them for no particular reason whatsoever<3
Drawn pretty strictly for the vibes, tho there's some loose connections to her backstory.

Artists! Please show:

✨ the first piece you did in 2025
✨ your favourite piece of the year
✨ your most popular piece
✨ your most recent piece

First is also my favourite, but added a runner up. And technically Margot is most recent but I wanted to pick a more finished illustration.

First and favourite of 2025 (and popular in dA)

Digital illustration of Drazenka, a ronso with snow leopard's likeness. She is facing forward, holding a sword made of blue, jagged ice with a star shaped pommel, her expression is serene and blank as her irises are frosted over. Her outfit, cloak especially, is covered with frost and snow. Her hair is styled differently, hair pulled up and back by a large, golden hairpin with a ruby gem in the middle, an accessory from Shiva's Dissidia design. Behind her is a stained glass window with a large snowflake design behind her head, stars, cascading into an orange and yellow frame around her.

Second favourite of 2025

A digital illustration of a woman, human, called Seventh Rose. She has tan skin, green eyes and a bald head. She wears bandages on her arms, chest and feet, and has scars across her body. Her clothing are tattered and dirty, no shoes, a long yellowish brown sleeveless hoodie open on the front, loose green pants with an orange-brown belt and "skirt", a loose rope hanging from it. She is sitting facing right of the image, her left hand holding a wooden staff, a tired, wistful look on her face. Background is a paper texture, with a red splatter as well as a white halo effect framing her head and face. Text around the image reads "green hills and enemies | these things they make us | sentimental inside". A watermark reads "©JiiBee -25"

Most popular (on Bluesky) of 2025

Digital illustration of a character in a plague doctor mask, surrounded by two ravens mid flight, a white and a black one. The character, thiefling called Entropy, is in sideprofile. The picture is in greyscale and shaded with halftones, and there's a thin golden double frame behind them. Watermark reads "©JiiBee -25"

Most recent of 2025

A digital illustration in red with some gold details. A woman, Caelia, is looking towards the viewer in front of a forest. Behind her on top of the trees is a closeup of someone's eyes, looking over her towards the viewer as well. Watermark reads "©JiiBee -25"

Hi #Portfolioday!
I'm JiiBee, a digital artist obsessed with all things ttrpg and a love for character and creature design.

I am also open for commissions<3
jiibee.carrd.co

The cover illustration for a book titled "Legend of the Spellthief III", written on top, with hands reaching to take away some of the letters. It features three characters standing in a cave backlit by purple flames. Left is a redhaired woman clad in heavy armour, sword propped on her right shoulder and holding a large shield on her left, looking at the man in the centre. At the centre is a man with short brown hair, the protagonist, looking slightly above viewer with his arms crossed in front of her and magic around them, blue water on his right arm and green wind on his left, wearing blue and magenta coloured outfit. On the right is a man with short black hair in a red shirt and white coat, looking at the man in the centre with an excited grin. Over all three falls a large shadow. At the bottom of the page reads "MalevolenceMau", the author. Watermark reads "©JiiBee -24". Commission work.

Digital illustration of a tonkin, or a tonberry. A green skinned/scaled creature with a fishfin like tail and big yellow eyes. He wears a black robe with colourful pattern on the edge of sleeves, front of the cloak and around the hood, while the inside is a colourful tie dye, a brown shoe peaking from under the hem as he takes a careful step. He is holding a wooden rod with a green swirled, glowing gem, a knife handle pokes through his sleeve and a sap is hanging from his belt. His free hand is pulling his hood up slightly. Done as a commission. Watermark reads "©JiiBee -25"

A digital painting, close up of two characters almost kissing, their eyes are closed. On the left is a woman with dark skin and brown hair, Caelia, and on the right is a man with fair skin and blonde hair, Articás. Text around them reads "so i would choose to be with you, that's if the choice were mine to make", lyrics from "So It Goes" by Billy Joel. Watermark reads "©JiiBee -25"

⭐TURN OFF EVERYTHING.

So far, my feed is *significantly* cleaner.

I've been working on some bigger art projects and comms I can't share yet (and personal sketches stuck in the wip stage), so this could be a fun way to wind down with something small and simple c:

Text reading "draw your mutuals' pfp poorly" with a blank 3x3 grid under it.

A digital painting of Keyleth from critical role sitting on some rocks at the foot of a big tree. She wears a long green dress and on her shoulders is a mantle made of leaves that fade from green to yellow to red as it falls down her shoulders. Her red hair is crowned with a circlet and two antlers.

A digital painting of SILAHA from critical role: downfall. He is a blue automaton with glowing orange eyes and gold accents on his body. His hand is reaching out towards the viewer, about to grab an amber glass vial. The distorted image of an eye and a hand is reflected in the glass vial.

A mother polar bear and two cubs. The cubs are leaving their den for the first time. One only pokes its head out while the other stands on its hind legs to look around. The mother stands further back but watches them over her shoulder. The northern lights glimmer in the sky, casting colored light onto the three bears, and the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are visible beyond the lights.

A master study of John Singer Sargent’s “A Capriote” with Ylfa from dimension 20 painted in over the woman in the original painting. A young woman leaning against a tree with her arm wrapped around it. She has dark wolf ears and a red hooded cape is draped over the tree. A wolf fades into the dark forest background.

Digital black and white illustration, title at bottom: Voided Storms. A horse creature has a skull head and its torso ripped open, showing bending ribs. It rears up from a massive, endless bed of twisting roots that covers most of the lower half of the canvas. Solid black smoke or mist flows from its torso and neck into and around an exploding shaft stuck into the roots-covered ground. Shards fly across the canvas. A large beam of veined light comes from the sky and hits the ground in the distance behind the creature. The background shows a starry night sky and mountains in the distance. The piece is shaded in extensive crosshatching and contour hatching.

Digital monochrome illustration colored in coppery rust, title at bottom: The Undoing. A horse-skull-headed entity with four 6-fingered limbs pulls fistfuls of long strands of hair out of the skull and around the lower jaw, as the skull's mouth is pulled unnaturally wide open. The entity is covered and surrounded by more long strands of hair. The background is filled with long overlapping strands of hair.

digital greyscale ink illustration which also utilizes glitch and photocopy paper textures. A running horse, its head completely distorted and liquified. Glitch patterns and lines float over top of its head and the air around it. Its body is overlaid with grungy photocopied paper texture, parts streaked and darker.

digital greyscale illustration. a rearing horse surrounded by and being held down by gnarled roots. its head is a billowing explosion spreading out into the top third of the canvas. inks are very loose and sketchy with energy.

A painting illustration of the character Isilaithion - an obsidian wyrm from the World of Warcraft setting in an elven visage with deep brown skin and long black hair. He is posed against a starry, dark background with Azeroth framing his head in the back, one side of it dark and destroyed, and the other yet vivid and lively. He has a relaxed pose, right hand raised to cast a wisp of flame while his left holds a stone snake gently. He wears black robes with gold trimmings and jewellery, the right side of his face shrouded in shadows, almost menacing with the purple glow to his eye; meanwhile, his gaze is drawn to the snake slithering in his hand as he smiles gently.

art of a male Lavellan Inquisitor with his naked back against the viewer, showing off a white, almost glowing branch of vallaslin tattoos running down his spine and arching over his shoulders. his face is obscured by short cropped, curly black hair.

illustration of a celestial called Paris. they are kneeling, mostly bare besides their long golden hair and wings covering them. their wings and body has golden, eldritch eyes appear on them and their plumage contorts into fleshy parts, signifying a corruption they suffered in their childhood. they smile coyly, almost a little sinisterly, with a golden halo bursting outwards behind their head.

Each outfit contains various shades of blues and greys with silver trimmings. On the right, his inventory is depicted, including a fractured, dark ice staff, a purple arcane wand, a journal, an obsidian snake held together with volcanic magic, an assortment of crystals, and a spiky, dark elementium cube artifact.$
