Hi #PortfolioDay ! I’m Chloé, 2D artist & always open to talk about comic gigs 💜✨

Chloé Stawski (Spooky Edition 🎃🦇) @chlowski.bsky.social · Jul 23

🌸 presentation post 🌸

I'm Chloé, 2D/concept artist in the video games industry & comic artist ✨

I draw lots of women - most of them sapphic -, I love lineart & vibrant colors, & I'll sometimes be annoying about playing Go

Drawing of a mermaid resting, lying on the ground of a quiet cove, surrounded by plants and flowers, part of her tail and hair in water, while she gently watches three ducklings swimming among the lotus flowers

Drawing of me as a witch floating in the night sky, wielding necromancer magic, holding a skull, wearing a witch hat, spiderweb pattern tights, a jean jacket, fishnet top, big goth shoes

one-page comic, black and white and grayscale
panel 1 : close up of a woman's hand, wearing rings, on an old spellbook page
panel 2 : same woman's hands conjuring some black fire
panel 3 (big) : woman sitting on the floor where a pentagram is drawn, with skulls and candles, while a tiny demon with horns seems to jump out of the spellbook right on her legs, visibly very happy
the woman's wearing converse-like shoes, jeans, a tope revealing her shoulders (and a big tatto on the left one), she has a choker necklace and hair loosely tied into a messy bun
text : Look. There's never a perfect time to cast your first spell. Especially as a self-taught witch. Reckless ? Sure. But the truth is... I needed a friend."

drawing of a woman entering some kind of cyber glowing bat, in a room full of old looking computers and wires and cables
there's a huge aquarium in the background with fishes and deepsea-like algae, etc.
the woman is linked to a machine by cables in her left thigh and neck, her eyes glow green and her skin too in some places

Hi #PortfolioDay - I'm Katy! ✨
Digital Illustrator & Graphic Designer

Whether you're looking for the perfect gift art to treat yourself or your friends, or specialized assets for your dream project, I'm your gal! I specialize in colorful character illustrations.

A business card illustration; Katy the witch holds up a peace sign with their right hand. She is winking with a smile and is surrounded by sunflowers, the petals of one in the foreground brushed up against their face. Some elements, such as Katy's hand and hair, extend past the faint, rainbow-tinted boarder.

A promotional image for a series of Kirby keychains; Nago is featured on the right. Two rows of Kirby are arranged to the left of Nago (Top Row: Pink, Red, Yellow. Bottom Row: Green, Blue, Black). The title reads "Lucky Kirby" on a white boarder, over a rainbow-tinted backdrop.

An illustration of Amy (Right), Cream (Left) and Cheese (Upper-Left) from Sonic Advance 2. They dance energetically on a circular stage with instruments (Maraca and Tambourine respectively). The backdrop is a green checkered pattern resembling the box art of the game.

A full-body illustration of Penny Parker as Garnet/Dagger from Final Fantasy IX; She holds a magic staff leisurely behind her as she glances off to the side, smiling.

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

Advanced sentience has never looked so comfy and sleek 😎

Full color illustration of my character RM7. Facing the viewer with their fists on their hips. They wear a white, red, blue, and green jumpsuit (akin to retro 80s and 90s ski wear).

No matter what the futur holds with all the AI stuff, I know that I will continue to animate for myself, for you.

I love it, it's a passion that I have since childhood and bots won't take this love away.
