Hello again #PortfolioDay

I'm Holixx and I'm a freelance layout designer and illustrator. I love doing ttrpg characters ⚔️

My links: linktr.ee/holixx

Gideon Nav and Harrowhark Nonagesimus from Gideon The Ninth / Harrow The Ninth.

Gideon and Harrow hugging while having their bodies partially covered by water. This version has them without the skull makeup from the Ninth house. A tear is rolling from Harrow's visible eye.

Sumina is a white long haired half elf woman with pointy ears. Half of her hair is tied in a high pony tail. At the top of it, a big black ribbon rests. Her eyes are golden and has thick black eyeliner around her eyes. On her neck, she wears a black ribbon choker with a golden pendant of the Raven Queen, her patron. She's wearing a loose pleated cream coloured mini dress with long puffy sleeves tied with a black thin ribbon around the wrists. The dress has a flowy, petal-like train and the black lining of the dress can be seen. She's also wearing thigh high stockings that fade from white to dark grey and end with dark grey heels. Coming from her shoulders, another train hangs in the shape of a pair of dragon-fly wings. The background is a medium grey and to the right, there are close-ups of her sleeves and the detail of her stockings to her face and part of her shoulders to use it as a token.

Kelly, my half-orc fighter for a DnD oneshot.

Kelly is smiling adorned by her tusks, looking at the side. A little smitten by her companion. Her head is resting on her knuckles and her elbow are on top of a table. She's wearing a cropped black t-shirt, the shortest short jeans and fishnets.

(honest question) what are the “good” video games? artistically i mean, not in a “i enjoyed this escapist slop” kind of way

James @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social · 15d

Well. It's not Red Dead Redemption 2, but it's like one of three video games I'd genuinely consider good.

Knights of Guinevere was so aggressively exactly my thing that I HAD to Draw Her...

Two versions of the character Guinevere from the indie animated Glitch show Knights of Guinevere, the complete one holding the broken within wires and body parts surrounding them.

Quote with your queer characters.

Last Ship to Mars is a story about a lesbian, her messy friendship with her middle-aged gay professor and the bisexual android they find in the woods. ✨

Colored comic panel from Last Ship to Mars with Mara (left) and Zal (right) sitting in a tropical feeling forest.
Zal: "I saw this amazing aquarium at a party once. It was full of the most gorgeous fish you've ever seen. I think most of them were cloned, but still..."
Mara: "I can't even imagine someone having an aquarium, these days."

Drawing of Mara wearing a pale grey jacket and pants over an olive green shirt with a red belt. She's smiling and tucking her hair behind her ear.

Panel from Last Ship to Mars. Franklin, a blonde man in his 40s wearing glasses is mid sip, drinking from a reddish coffee mug.
Franklin: "Ah, well. Yes. But it's tricky. I haven't actually spoken to anyone who's left. There's no public communication back to earth."

Zal, Franklin and Mara is fresh summer fits.
Franklin is drinking an iced coffee.
Franklin: "Okay, time to get the $&@# off this planet..."
