collage of several illustrated ttrpg characters. Left to right: An adventurer half orc lady with a huge Warhammer across her shoulders, on which are perched two round robins; a monk turned swashbuckler half elf in a peach tunic holding a mysterious crystal pendant that glows green like a tropical sea; a mountain elf ranger walking on a stony path, holding her thick wool cape up to let a group of elephant shrews pass by. painted by illustrator Lise Baron.

Book cover representing the two main characters of the book framed by a full page of ornaments. Teriana on the right, a young woman with a deep dark skin and large blue eyes, wearing ornate waist long braids, a large white linen pirate shirt and a collection of gold bangles. Marcus on the left, a fierce blond Roman-like commander with a large scar on his right cheek, wears a cuirrasse with a XXXVII embossed, a thick red cloak. A golden dragon ornates his leather belt. Dark Shores is written by Danielle L. Jensen. This cover is the french pocket format, published by éditions Bragelonne and painted by illustrator Lise Baron.

Painterly painting of a centaur-ibex granny climbing a cliff to harvest her hawks' eggs, by illustrator Lise Baron. On the cliff we can see the bird's nest, a domesticated squirrel picking one of its eggs. In the distance, warmly illuminated mountains and on the edge of a cliff, a little farmstead waiting for her to return. The scene is full of rocks, grass and little flowers. painted by illustrator Lise Baron

We’re in a pleasant forest setting, with lots of greenery and the sun peeking through the canopy. We see tree houses made of natural materials on the trees.
A young, dark skinned elf is running madly towards the camera, laughing. He’s holding a chicken under one arm and a rope strung with strange berries in the other hand. A whole flock of chickens is following him, apparently crazy about the berries.
The chaotic scene is being watched by two shocked bystanders.

A ladybug clad in an armor made of leaves and flower petals stands on a large white flower. They’re wielding magic wands, a spellbook and a shield made out of a seed husk. White war paint adorns their face and shield. They are casting fire spells against a horde of wasps.

Evithorir, painted for Critical Role by Zoe Badini.

Evithorir is described as an elven figure perpetually shrouded in shadows. Its face is pale gray, its skin is pulled tight against bone. Its teeth are crooked and elongated and its eyes glow.

In this scene it stands in front of a large glowing green crystal pillar, surrounded by black and greenish flames. Its body flows and disappears into the shadows. Its hands are lifted at its sides, casting more dark shadows.
Hidden and trapped inside its chest we can glimpse a reddish emaciated figure.

Scream, painted for the 2024 Upper Deck Fleer Ultra Matriarchs of Marvel set.
A monstrous, tentacled figure emerges from the mist. She has large milky eyes, a wide mouth full of sharp teeth and a long extended tongue.

hello, #portfolioday! 🐸🌿

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

currently my commissions are open on vgen and i sometimes release NPC portraits on patreon and ko-fi 💗

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.

Artist! Post your favourite underrated art. Let's give'em more love 🖤

I think it's probably this. I don't think people engage with it as strongly as my other work, but I know how much I learned from the process so it feels like a success to me. Either way I still like it!
