This year I chose to ignore the Inktober daily challenge because it's stinky. However, since I crave the serotonin of people liking and sharing my art and possibly following me, and I need to strengthen my grip on this world and its inhabitants, I made my own yearly challenge.

Hi #PortfolioDay

This is my first one so not sure what to write but I like ttrpgs, games and art! Teaching myself new skills all the time.

Low saturation art of woman in oversized suit walking down stairs. Her face is in shadow as well as everyday objects floating around her head. Her eyes are bright purples and reds and leave a trail of color around the floating objects.

Digital art of a girl in a suit skirt set with leg warmers holding a glass watering can full of red liquid. She is surrounded by plants and ghosts with horns which match her own ghostly horns and tail.

A knight in armor, leather hat and a layered dress. Her outfit is shades of maroon pink and red with a veil in bright red being pulled over her face. An arrow has gone by her face and in her chest piece leaving pink sparks on impact. She holds her sword low to her side.

A digital drawing of a woman in a sci-fi outfit with a robotic arm. Her face is covered by a veil, she has a short cropped jacket, black body suit, ripped leggings with fish net underneath and wade covers over hiking boots. A small than scale silhouette of her mecha is projected in the background. In the right corner an illustration of her without a veil is shown she has pointed ears and fangs + patches that list multiple blood types. In the upper left corner reads : NAME:[UNKNOWN] CALLSIGN:V4MP

Thank you, I took your advice after last time. Sometimes I still hit 'post' in a hurry and forget to fill them in. The worst part is finding the same alt-text again everytime I post the same art, but that's a minor issue.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Leah 🐸 McElrath @leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 15d

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

For all those who started following recently, a taste of what happens when I decide to spend 4 hours on the drawing and 6 on the description because I wanted to quote/imitate one poem

MELFIST - Reposting helps a lil'guy grow @lordmelfist.bsky.social · Sep 11

099 - Desolation
I met a traveller from north and yonder
Who said: a vast and scorched city of stone
Lie in the white waste. In its ruins asunder,
Half dust, a titan sits, whose foetal frown,
And grieving squat, and sigh of lastless somber,
Tell that the cyclops' mind in aeons broke,
[1/3]

A massive, naked giant squats among ancient ruins in a desert wasteland. The giant holds his head in his hands, curved in grief and pain. The sky is white and empty, and a half-broken column in the foreground emerges from the rubble.

Digital painting of a winged centaur. He has curly hair and facial beard, and his horse half is white, and extremely furry. His human half is covered in tattoos and white body hair, and he is wielding a mace/hammer weapon that is in the shape of a horse head.

Digital painting of a pterosaur-like beast called "Wyvern Of The Sea". Its head, neck and upper torso is mostly white, it has a long yellow bill with sharp tips similar to a snapping turtle, a crest on top of its top beak, and an expandable pouch on its throat, similar to a pelican. There is a voluminous pouch of expandable sac around its neck and chest, similar to a Frigatebird, but it seems more decorative than functional. Its lower torso is a black color, with strong bird legs, that have blue webbed feet, similar to the bird Booby. Its tail is long, with fins running on its side, and on its tips.

It has wings that are more webbed than they are feathered, with a protruding thumb similar to a bat's, and three noticeable digits that are flat than they are wiry. It seems this creature is more reptilian and hydrodynamic, than it is avian and capable of flight.

Digital painting of an elegant merman. There is a glow of royal blue coming out of a cavity in middle of his upper torso in the middle that extends to his abdomen, and out of two columns of holes in his bottom portion. His tail seems to be a hollow flesh and the blue magic extends out to form his fish tail. There is a royal blue sword on top of the character; the sword is slim and sharp, and the blade is sculpted to have an impaled fish on its end.

Hi #portfolioday ! ✨
I'm a french illustrator and cartoonist. I have a burning passion for creating fantasy and historical-themed characters.

I'm currently working on a big comic project which the first volume should be out next year !

Illustration of a red-haired dwarf in different scenes.
The first shows her pouring molten metal into a mould. Her face is protected by an iron mask.
In the second she examines the result of her work. It's a small figurine of a gnome armed with a spear and a shield.
In the last one, she's sitting on a stool without her work clothes. She is focused on painting her figurines.

Illustration of a huge Art Nouveau-style shopping mall crowned by a glass roof. A crowd of well-dressed people crosses the place.
In the centre of the image a man with small red-tinted glasses and metal-tinted skin is dragged by a small middle-aged woman's arm. She is wearing an extravagant mint-coloured outfit. The woman introduces the man to the place with excitement, but he doesn't seem thrilled.

A comic page showing three characters on a rocky shore. In front of them is a gate carved into the rock, and they are looking for a way to open it.
An argument breaks out between the red-haired girl who wants to continue the search and the sorcerer who wants to give up. They are interrupted by an explosion in the direction of the gate.
The third protagonist, who had placed the explosives, nonchalantly invites them to carry on their journey now that the way is clear.

Illustration of Medusa the Gorgon in her lair.
She stands with poise on a throne mad of her adversaries turned into stone. Her hand rests on the trident of a statue. Behind her, the fire of a brazier burns brightly.

Oh boy oh boy it's #PortfolioDay once again
I'm Melfist, I'm an illustrator and comic artist. I'm preparing a massive comic saga and showing off a few of the concepts. I also do some fanarts from time to time.

A huge monster reminiscent of a massive elephant carries a white city on its back. The monster is fleshy, pinkish, has multiple curve tusks, many tentacle-like proboscides, and walks on many shambling legs, some akin to that of a spider. It has two heads, one on each side of the city, each with four golden eyes and a small flame flickering above its head. A cloudy sky is shown in the background and mists surround its walking ground.

A monstrous scaled spider-woman. Her limbless torso rises from where a spider's mouth would be, and all the eight limbs of the spider are elongated, white and gangly, ending in fully functional seven-fingered hands. The head of the monster has incredibly long, white straight silken hair, falling in front of her. The woman has a hybrid face between human, insect and reptilian, with six visible eyes, mandibles around the sharp-teethed mouth, and two curved horns rising to the side of the head, one horn slightly longer than the other.
Behind the spider-woman, the black starry sky, with a waning(waxing?) crescent moon above the spider-witch, framed in a hole at the centre of a massive spiderweb. The picture is completely black and white with the exception of the spiderweb, which is red, slightly fleshy, and irregular. The spider-witch raises two of her limbs to the moon behind her as if she can reach or grasp it, while two other limbs stroke her hair.

A fan-made comic page of Hellboy meeting some Space Marines (from Warhammer 40k) of the Crimson Fists chapter. The space marine lights Hellboy's cigarette with his flamer while saying "An impressive power-fist you wield, sanctioned mutant. But your bolter seems... outdated." Hellboy answers "Uhh... thanks?" and the space marine gives him a gun and a piece of shoulder armor, saying "Our munitorum has allowed me to issue you with a protective pauldron, and I'll share my spare bolter with you." Hellboy takes it and asks "Bolter, huh. What's it fire?"
The space marines assemble, and a dreadnought rises nearby as Hellboy dons the pauldron and wields the gun, while the space marine answers "Gyro-jet assisted armor-piercing explosive rounds!"
Hellboy grins and comments "Now we're talking!"

A scene from a Darkest Dungeon fan-comic, showing the Ancestor lighting a torch in a massive antechamber deep within the earth. Strange fungi grow inside the cave, near an antediluvian gate surrounded by stone tentacles. The Ancestor is triumphant, but his attendant (the Caretaker from the game) and his workers are shocked and in dismay.
