Heyo #PortfolioDay ! 💜✨

I'm Lief, a trans man from Canada, and I love painting fantasy / ttrpg art (especially elves, wizards, and queer characters)! I'm open for personal and commercial work, and I have a #Patreon for character portraits!

A digital rendered illustration of two autumn eladrin posing, looking at the viewer, one laying their head and hands on top of the other's. They are mine and my friend's original characters. They are both pale-skinned with orange hair and beards. Accolon (top) has golden eyes with black sclera and Estel (bottom) has green eyes with white sclera. They are both covered in golden jewelry. Estel has flowers in his hair and wears a burgundry v-neck top and autumnal makeup. Accolon has a green to black gradient around their eyes, on their arms, and at their ears. The background is indicative of a tavern.

A rendered digital illustration of two original characters kissing. One is a pale-skinned firbolg with long, beaded brown hair and hooves wearing a large brown coat and blue embroidered cardigan. He is leaning down dramatically to kiss his partner, a dark blue-skinned elf with chitinous armour and tight, dark clothing. They also have gold markings on their upper arms and face, and they stand on their tip toes to kiss the firbolg. They both stand on a well-worn path in a flower field in early spring, snow still melting, with green trees on the horizon.

A rendered digital painting of two men as a study of Springtime (Pierre Auguste Cot). One man is a scruffy tan-skinned human with pulled up black hair, and the other is an elegant, pale autumn eladrin with flowing red hair with flowers in it.

A rendered digital portrait of a blue-skinned fairy with a long blue mullet and blue morpho-inspired wings. They are smiling widely at the viewer. They have dark blue/purple moth-like antennae, white whiskers, and a spectral white unicorn horn. They have freckles and a pink blush across their cheeks. The background is a dark purple to gold gradient, with the gold centred around the character's head.

Full illustration of Scar, Lizzie, and Jimmy playing cards in an underground bunker wearing cowboy outfits inspired by their Wild Life skins. Jimmy looks exasperated at a canary outside of its cage, Lizzie smiles at him while hiding a card in her belt, and Scar smiles at the viewer knowingly. The bunker is littered with various items from the previous series, such as poppies and lilacs, potted cactus, a warden stuffy in the shape of a bull, a clock, and a pink and brown birds.

Halfbody complex render of a drow man with long pale hair and a purple jester outfit— his eyes are covered with white makeup that shares the same sparkle and starlight effects of his outfit. Framed against a purple dreamlike storybook landscape

Halfbody complex render of Alekos and Booker dancing in the fae wild wearing monarch butterfly and lunar moth robes. Golden hour scenery. They smile at each other warmly as Alekos dips Booker

my name is ilona and i'm a digital artist who is obsessed with his OCs and anything TTRPG, gothic or vintage related!

hortensjjja.carrd.co

A digital fantasy illustration of a smiling fey-like woman sitting next to a round display window with dark wood frames, full of books and a potted plant with round white flowers on shelves. There are two books with visible titles, "Old Gods in Yivezheng" and "The Great Earth Eater".
She has a warm green complexion with some moles on her face, big teal eyes looking at the camera and brown medium-lenght braids. Kelp-like horns grow from behind her head and between the horns there is a gold headdress shaped like a chrysanthemum. She wears big round gold earrings. The dress she is wearing is dark green with white rectangular collars and brown leather parts such as a corset and cuffs. There are gold buttons on her puff sleeves. She is holding a big nondescript open book with one hand and her other hand is close to her face.
The background is dark brown with different warm color tones. There are paper triangle flags hanging behind her but in front of the bookstore. End ID.

A red-black monochrome digital illustration of a portrait-size feminine character with long wavy hair and striking red eyes, looking at the camera while smiling softly. They have horns made up of hair, an earring with a ribcage, a choker and a frilly top. They have one hand up, holding a stylized heart-shaped scissor with little horns portruding while their hand is dripping in blood. Behind the character's head, there's a big anatomical heart drawn in hatches and a textured circle in the background. Overall, the background is black and colors used for details are intense red. End ID.

A digital interpretation of a painting titled "Dionisia" by Pierre Auguste Cot, featuring my OC - Eshmara. The character has a warm green complexion with striking big orange eyes, smiling softly at the camera while holding a plethora of flowers on her lap and sitting on a tree stump. She has double pointy ears that are garnished by yellow-orange grapes with leaves, and a branch-like horns, also with autumn leaves, growing out from her head which is decorated bountifully by wavy auburn hair reaching just under her shoulder blades. She has a few moles on her face - two above her lips on her right and one above her eye on her right.
She is dressed in a white shirt hugged by a scarf-like pink cloth that goes beyond the view in the left corner. Her long skirt is orange with a brown apron that holds the flowers together on her lap.
The background is dark, seemingly in a forest away from the sun, primarily greens and browns. There's a faint halo-like circle behind the character's head to give the character better focus. End ID.

An illustration of a goliath hunter on his mount in snowy mountain terrain, facing off against a crag cat. The Goliath is a young man, dressed in brown and white furs, accented with red and blue woven panels. He wields a red horsebow. His mount is a mixture of a reindeer and a markhor goat. His tack and gear matches the colors and motifs of his rider. He is mid leap. In the foreground, a white sabertoothed cat pursues the pair. In the background are snowy peaks and Giant ruins.

A digital portrait of an elven woman with golden blonde hair in sweeping chignon. She holds a hand to her chin, looking over her shoulder, eyes down cast. She wears shades of blue and gold.

A cleric astride a flying broom raises a glowing sword above a battle field. Golden, rays of bright light stream out from the sword. Her party members and herself are wrapped in golden glowing flowers and vines. They stare up at her in awe.

The party members, counter clockwise from the top left are: A dwarven artificer wearing jeweltones and riding a magic carpet, the cleric wearing a gold breastplate and blue robes; a giant fighter in full adamantine plate and a dragon helm; a half-drow Psi-fighter in blues and purples, floating mid-air and holding her crossbow; and a tiefling ranger, arms stretched out in joy and relief.

Behind the party members is a truly gargantuan giant, you can see him only up to his knees. He wears silver greaves and you can catch a glimpse of his great axe.

Ruins of a city are in the distant background.

A giant-sized cowgirl reclines in the pasture with her livestock (primarily cows, with a few chickens sneaking in) as the sun rises off screen.

She has red hair in pigtail braids and wears a cowboy hat and boots along with a magenta and leather western bodice, and suede pants with runic inspired panel/stitch detailing.
The crescent moon and the tears of Selene are between a horizon of red rock hills and puffy pink clouds. A barn with thatched roof is nestled in the shadow beneath a crag at the right edge of the image.

A portrait of Ipomoea resting against a bush of ipomoea flowers. Her hair is spread across the blooms and the leaves, and her left hand gently touches a flower close to the shoulder.

Ipomoea is a blue tiefling with gem horns, and long, wavy white hair that sparkles in the shadow. Her eyes have a dark sclera with a white iris. Three small stars shine between the horns.

In the middle, Elaine is standing while holding her sword, while the personification of the moon is sitting behind her and almost embracing her gently. On the left, Elaine is holding a white lily, the bottom decorated with more white lilies and ipomoeas. On the right, Elaine's hand is showing holding her sword. The same flowers decorate the bottom of the scene.
The phases of the moon are shown across different parts of the artwork (crescent/waning moons at the bottom, half moons on the sides, full moon in the middle scene).

On the right, Thalia leans forward Eirwen with a red flower in her hand. On the left, Eirwen reaches out, her fingers delicately brushing against the petals while her left hand brushes through Thalia's hair. Around them winter is thawing, flowers and foliage emerging still covered in a little snow.

Camellia is holding Ametista in her arms as she pierces her heart with her sword. Ametista looks peaceful, her arms wrapped around Camellia's shoulders.

In the background there is a scene from their past. Camellia and Ametista are kissing in the gardens, a warm light pouring over the scenery.

The artwork has a golden frame with ornamental swords at the bottom.
