Aaaand here we are with the first three tarot cards based on a story I'm working on for Senior Thesis!

#art #watercolor #tarot #oc #thelovers #themoon #8ofswords #triptych

Watercolor painting of a man and woman gazing lovingly at each other. The man holds a fist to his chest in an oath-like gesture. Behind them is a pomegranate tree in a medieval style

A woman looks over her shoulder at a man, holding her hands over her chest and crying. He kisses her hair in a manner of longing for something he can't have. His hands are blackened with dark veins running up his wrists. A silver moon halos the woman, and branches of a pomegranate tree and rose vines curl behind them.

A man kneels before a woman in a blue and gold gown, gripping her skirt desperately, head bowed. His head is surrounded by 8 silver daggers like a halo. She looks down on him with a neutral expression, half of her face severely scarred. Behind them are vines of medieval style roses.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Some more of my work, done in marker.

Short comic about my Baldur's Gate character, Rylon, practicing monk techniques in a river. He acts as if he is going to attack a squirrel nearby but boops it on the nose. The squirrel attacks him.
Shadowheart holds in a laugh and Halsin grins while Lae'zel looks on in disgust. "He brings shame to our people."
Halsin wildshapes into a squirrel and bounces off of Lae'zel's head. Shadowheart bursts into laughter. Halsin and the other squirrel climb around Rylon like a tree while he laughs.

A short comic about my Baldur's Gate githyanki monk character, Rylon, interacting with his Dream Guardian.
Rylon stabs the guardian: "My Queen ordered your death. I must obey."
Guardian: "Haa... I really thought you wouldn't."
Guardian disappears in a flash and reappears behind Rylon: "Remember that I am the one keeping you from turning into a mindflayer."
Rylon: "Ahem. Regardless, your survival depends on me as well."
Rylon: "What would you do - replace me?"
Guardian: "At this rate, perhaps."
Rylon recalls his six infected companions and that the guardian could very well just kill him and use one of them.

My character Rylon hugging a giant black dog called a Kaoulgrim.

Happy #PortfolioDay !

I'm Krisko, and I'm an #illustratotion and #comics student!

Right now I'm working on my series, "Lazuli," along with Major Arcana tarot designs based on that comic. Aside from that I like to do little journal comics.

Work in progress for The Devil tarot card illustration.

This one is killing me slowly

#art #oc #tarot #devil #watercolor

Cropped photo of a watercolor illustration of my character Fynn tugging at a gold collar around his neck in anguish as a volcano erupts behind him

Krisko @kriskocomics.bsky.social · 5d

Sounds like a perfect game for my husband to get into. He's big into factorio and Stardew so I'm sure he'll love it (plus he LIKES women in games cause he's not a weirdo)

Share your couples #art 💕

Two of my Rooks from #veilguard and their respective partners, my #bg3 githyanki monk Rylon and Shadowheart, and #oc 's Lazuli and Fynn

Emmrich leaning down to a femme elven Rook as she struggles to reach up and kiss him since she's short. On the right, Taash leans over a male human Rook. Beneath him says "suddenly submissive and breedable"

Shadowheart pulls Rylon, a githyanki man, in by his shirt to kiss him.

Lazuli and Fynn do a traditional couple's folk dance.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

A lil sum' I whipped up to submit to an upcoming spooky exhibition at my college.

10 of Swords: rock bottom, defeat.
Fynn's choices have lead him to devastation, despite the good intentions he started with.

#oc #art #tarot #artdeco #handlettering

Black and white Art Deco style tarot card, ten of swords. Fynn is shirtless and looks severely malnourished with shackles and chains around his neck and wrists. He has a halo of 5 daggers stabbing into his head, causing bleeding, and is surrounded by 5 long swords. He looks upward with a hopeless expression.

Krisko @kriskocomics.bsky.social · 9d

Usually about 3 days for me.
Day 1: thumbnails and sketches
Day 2: transfer sketch to watercolor paper, mask off whatever needs it, paint background.
Day 3: paint figure and add final details.
This is usually split up into 3-5 hour chunks over a week

After my dad died I’d skip class, grades dropped, detentions stacked, etc. I still drew but I didn’t care about anything. The principal called me into her office one day, figured I messed up again, but she just handed me a box of colored pencils and said “happy birthday”. NEVER forgot that.

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

Ink and graphite drawing of my character Fynn causing a dramatic explosion, surrounded by fire and corpses. He walks toward a man in a black cloak who looks terrified.

Ain't it tho 😂😭

And your kindergartener shouldn't have homework at all but hopefully it's easy/fun stuff. Homework only makes sense in college, imo

I remember transferring schools in kindergarten and not being told the new one even gave homework. The first week I missed out on the reward candy for that. It's been 25 years and I'm still bitter

this is still funny as fuck actually

Panel 1
I am looking at a drawing of a character with someone behind me
me: Wow! These characters are so cool omg why isn't there more stuff about these guys?

Panel 2
the person behind me response: Those are your characters. You're the one that has to draw them.

Panel 3
a moment of silence as I process that statement.

Panel 4
I am on the ground crying and pissing surrounded by crude drawings of my own character.

Rylon is a dummy but he's doing his best.

#bg3 #oc #githposting #Shadowheart

Shadowheart treats a githyanki with a black eye, scolding him.
"I warned you not to call Jaheira old (hold still)"
He responds "but it's true, is it not...?"

You think your art is amateur, your prose awkward, your dialogue stilted. Your lines scratchy, your colors weak.

I don't. Because I don't know the difference. All your mistakes are purposeful style choices to me. All your weaknesses quirks of your personality.

I love your art.
