Queen Gwenevere @queengwenevere.bsky.social · 17h

Woohoo, #PortfolioDay ! I’m Gwenevere Singley, illustrator and general art wrangler! I’ve worked in games, animation, interactive media, TTRPGs, comics, and I’d love to work on more!

(All oil on canvas except the big fight scene, which was painted in Photoshop)

Portfolio: gwensingley.com

The Rose Queen, in a grand rose gown, is surrounded by her court of elegant bee attendants in a spacious pavilion decked with roses. The bee courtiers are all vying for her attention.

A knight on a white horse, setting out to find a dragon in a mountainous wild wasteland, has just encountered the dragon’s aunt. She is MASSIVE, half pompous matron and half dragon, decked with curls, pearls, and feathers (or are they horsetails?) with a long scaly tail stretching back into the mountains, and a formidable gold lorgnette, through which she examines the knight. She does not approve.

A joyful zebra, that is also a knight, ON FIRE, with stripes and tail turning to flames, garbed in a golden helmet with plumes that also turn to flames, rearing up and holding a striped lance that is also on fire, setting out on an adventure across sunny mountains, along a road leading to a golden castle. A little fire salamander friend tags along.

Cover for the Sword Opera TTRPG: a half a dozen motley renaissance characters are having a huge brawl near a baroque pavilion in a garden. A swordsman in black faces off against a swordswoman in red, behind them a be-turbaned swordsman with a blue flaming scimitar is restrained by a pleading damsel, a ruffian in yellow with a couple of daggers sprawls in the foreground, a sneaky rogue in a weird hat circles behind with a dagger, and another damsel kneels behind the duelists begging both her lovers to desist. Dramatic mountains and storm clouds set the scene.

Hello #portfolioday

I'm Lizbeth and trying to rewire my brain around making artwork for myself, which feels nearly impossible these days compared to making art for my students. I've been playing video games for hours a day while watching my newborn son. Trying to be kind to myself despite artblock.

#fantasyart #dndart

A muscular gray and white werewolf, Rev, crouches near a stream in a forest, looking down in wonder at his reflection. He feels his mane with a glowing paw, the other holding onto a scarf on the verge of being blown away. 3 spell scrolls whip around him, their runes still glowing - one of them depicts a simply drawn wolf with a d20 rune underneath. Faint blue magic trails off of Rev's body and from the scrolls.

A gigantic green eastern dragon winds around a sunlit mountain. The dragon's horns and fur along its back integrate trees, which meld into the mountain's base. Other mountains are strewn in mist in the background.

A lithe, serpentine dragon taur perches with his two front legs on one of the branches protruding from the massive tree in the background. One of his back legs dangles in the air as he holds onto a hanging branch with the other talon, his long tail looped loosely around it as well. The humanoid half of his body is a light teal compared to the rest of his dark blue body. He looks up at a hanging crystal egg, gently holding out his hands as if about to touch it.

A mysterious black rabbit in a long coat with metallic trim sits on an old tree stump, playing a flute that emits a ghostly trail. He has a large collar of white fur, and limbs that seem half metal and doll-like. He sits in a misty, spooky forest, a light in the distance framing his form. There are spectral rats that heed the flute's call throughout the painting.

Hey there, #PortfolioDay!

I'm Ashley, an artist who works on book covers, TTRPG's, and tarot cards. I thought today I'd show y'all two of my fav pieces that I just saw are in the wild~ 💚

Done for the @oldgodspod.bsky.social TTRPG with @montecookgames.com

#DigitalArt | #MyArt | #DarkArt

A tall young man leans forward on a countertop of a market stall, face close to the seated young woman who runs it. They are deep in conversation. We see a banner for her store, "Ruth's Apothecary", and note that she is surrounded by various witchy supplies including ceremonial knives and hallucinogenic dreamer's tea.

A young woman with overalls stands yelling in the middle of a river, her arms outstretched to try and distract to shadowy monsters that have chased her and her friends to this point. Behind her, a man carries a woman in a yellow dress, who look is looking over his shoulder, terrified at what she sees. He is carrying her toward a house on top of a hill with lit windows, a beacon of hope.

Hello #PortfolioDay ~

I am a french freelance artist who likes to draw characters !
I draw a lot of OC, DnD and TTRPG's stuff ~
I am searching to work on more project including that in the future !

My website : narney.carrd.co
Portfolio : cara.app/narney

$Page of a character, profile, long red hair flowing all around her, white porcelain skin and gold earring and hairpin. A panel is on the bottom right, focus on her golden eye, fractured. A text says "If eyes are the mirror to the soul... What do mine show ?"$

OCs, Ivemylla, half-elf is sitting before a long blond haired man, her half-brother : Liazar. He wears a long blue robe and a black shirt as there is a gold accent on the tip of it. He is bending over her, smiling, holding her face toward the mirror after she got ready before meeting her future family in law. One of his finger touches her lips, keeping a mark of her lipstick on it. The other hand is presenting her. Her long white hair are attached in a bun with long strand hanging under it. A lot of pearls are pinned in it, same on her transparent dress' part. She looks cold, off.
The window is behind them, showing a late day light.

OCs Lyuu (right) and Minuit (left)
Two characters are standing, facing each others. The man, human looking, is showing his back to the viewer, short brown hair, scar on the right side of his face, smiling. He wears a purple shirt, his hand is holding the face of the other character.
The woman (elf looking) is looking at the man, coming from above like she jumped off somewhere, wearing a green armor. She has long black hair, tied up as a high tail, going into smoke on the tips. She has a very tender look and smile, holding the face of the man with her hand, which is black.

OC Jude, taned, long wavy blond hair with 2 big braids on each side, jeweled with rings and coins in them. She looks confident, one arm up while bending some water.
