A digital painting of an older man, complete with soft gray hair and a coarse looking beard/moustache thats still hanging onto its darker brownish grays. A scar runs through his left eye that's a plain off-white, pupil circled in shimmering gold and its centre a flat white. He has a circlet style halo, hinting at what he really is. On his face he wears a pair of half moon glasses that are reminiscent of ones made in the mid 1800s-early 1900s.

A digital portrait of a blonde haired man that has a small section of his hair shaved off. He wears dark purple iridescent lipstick and dons shiny, equally iridescent eyeshadow + eyeliner. His jewelry consists of a highly polished collar style necklace and long silver drop earrings; both have a red and purple gem respectively. He is lit in high dramatic golden hour lighting, which illuminates his hair and makes it appear almost transparent in some sections.

A digital painting of a PoC character. He has shorter locs tied back with a gray hair tie. He has a big smile on his face, appearing cheerful. There are two identifiable markings on his face, two small moles; one under his right eye and one above his upper lip on the left side. He has dark brown eyes that both match his hair. His wardrobe ( what is visible ) consists of an off-white top that has a low neckline.

Apologies for this post, but I've more or less hit rock bottom. I am emotionally exhausted and burnt out. I've not drawn for weeks and by now it does not feel like an easy fix. If you have any desire to support me, it'd mean more than ever as I physically can't work atm.

Two men sit on a chair, one straddling it sideways on top of the other's lap, one leg dangling over the chair's arm. They lean against each other, the lower supporting the second, leaning into each other as if falling asleep, heads touching, limbs falling limp. Meanwhile the chair they sit in catches fire, threatening to consume them completely. One of the men regards the flames with unconcerned, open eyes, the other remains unmoved, as if the fire cannot wake him.

A man stands, staring directly at the viewer from a low angle. His left arm is a cybernetic prosthetic with visible machine parts. He is wearing worn-out clothing reminiscent of Vietnam era combat clothing mixed with punk aesthetic and advanced future tech. Over one shoulder is slung a mix of AK-47 and electric guitar, the neck extending down the barrel. He stands in a foggy scene surrounded by pipes, tubes, electric panels, and wires. He is smoking a cigarette. While there is nothing in the image to suggest this, you now know his name is Truant.

An illustration of a fairy standing on top of a bobbin of thread. She is wearing a patchwork skirt and a flowing gathered top. She has an apron through which she has threaded pins and needles and she is carrying a thimble within which she has gathered scraps of fabric and thread. Behind her is a tomato shaped pin cushion. Her hair is fashioned to resemble two yarn balls. Her purple and cyan wings are spread out behind her.

A mythological Nixie, or water spirit, represented as an attractive nude woman with aquatic features floating underwater amid bubbles that swirl around her. Her eyes are golden and her skin is teal with traces of shimmering iridescence on scales and fins. She smiles at the viewer sweetly, her hands framed around her face, her body leaned forwards with legs trailing behind her.

Happy #portfolioday
Hi! I’m Mal! I love drawing fantasy, romance and LGBTQIA+ themes in my work.

I’m interested in TTRPG art, character design, illustration,m and comics

I want to be part of a project that inspires people to love!

“Resiliency Rosie“
Just like women rose up and took a stand to help their country when we faced a tyrant who threatened the world, it’s time, once again for all of us to do the right thing.

Where women built machines to help our troops, we need to build a different kind of weapon…and perhaps that looks like different things to each of us. Maybe it’s a weapon of fierce joy and expression, or a commitment to building community.
Perhaps your weapon is just being present and ready to build people up.

Maybe your voice is your weapon….

Whatever you choose know there is a battle for our future and we need you.

For this illustration, I chose queer symbolism, because at this time we are in real and present danger.

I may make this a series…I'm not sure yet I just had to do something.

Inspired by “Rosie the Riveter” by Norman Rockwell…

Character line up of a fun series of holiday reindeer centaurs who represent a piece of the beautiful uniqueness of the queer community.

I love drawing happy couples just enjoying life! Here my characters, Rowhan, a human embraces his magical faun boyfriend surrounded by flowers

I love drawing backgrounds with my characters… it’s fun to place them in settings.

Here is my ferocious Character, Mythos! A queer sphinx warrior who won’t stop protecting her loved ones.

Info here! ⤵

A digital fullbody painting of an older man dressed in ornate robes, complete with long gray hair and half moon glasses. His color palette is mostly black and gold with splashes of blue and a warm bright yellow thrown in. He stands facing the viewer with his hands held aloft, palms up. His main theme is based around stars as seen in his star-shaped necklace and the star embroidery on his belt tapestry.

A digitally painted fullbody of a black character; he is largely dressed in golds and blacks. He has striking gold eyes that match the ends of his locs, which appear as if they're glowing. His black dashiki has shimmering gold embroidery around the collar and sleeve cuffs. His jewelry follows the same theming, consisting of highly polished golds. In this drawing, his pose suggests that he is in the middle of walking towards the viewer. One hand is held upright by his shoulder and the other is extended in the viewer's direction.

A digital portrait of a bearded man with sunlit brown eyes. He is lit in split lighting that has very warm hues, suggesting he is probably standing outside. He has long dark brown hair and a beard to match, gray streaks throughout both.

A digital portrait of Phainon ( Khaslana ) from Honkai: Star Rail. He's lit in high key lighting that sweeps across his face, illuminating it as though there's a fire lit behind his skin. His hair is a very pale gold, reminiscent of the wheat fields he mentioned growing up around. His eyes are an equally bright gold with dark purple pupils. There are cracks running along his skin, some illuminated gold, some blank.

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.

A man curled over onto his elbows, his head in his hands, amidst green leaves. A glowing, luminous dagger dangles above his neck and spine. His hands are cupped and outstretched towards the sky. Luminous liquid slips through his fingers.

An ethereal digital artwork showing a woman looking upward toward a glowing star in the sky. Her arms are crossed and guarded, yet peaceful. Her body seems to dissolve into light and chaotic energy, surrounded by circular halo-like rings. The colors are soft purples and golds. It has a dreamy, cosmic vibe.

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.

Hi, #PortfolioDay ~

I'm Kathaja and I draw alien OCs and creatures from my sci-fi world and novel.

More info at www.kathaja.com

WIP shot, digital art of an alien person, Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat), from a top down angle. Zhaikes is glancing up over his shoulder with a grim expression. The angle gives us a view onto the broad scales running along his spine and two of his extra limbs that are positioned at his shoulder blades. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Illustration of a Nan-Te'gah, an alien species, that shows the head in side view. The alien has four larger and two smaller appendages on their head, three on each side. Text on page: Head appendages are made of cartilage and muscle. Elongated tympanic membranes run along each of the four larger appendages and serve as sensory organs. Upper appendages: Specialized for detecting airborne vibrations and pressure changes. Lower appendages: Specialized for detecting underwater vibrations and movements. The appendages are also used to convey emotions by moving them into different positions. Active movement affects the membranes. While most self-generated disturbances can be ignored, the sensitivity of the membranes is dampened by active movement. Thus, increased focus or fear makes them eerily still. Nictitating membrane (third eyelid) can be drawn across the eye for protection, particularly when underwater. Outer teeth are part of the exoskeleton that covers the face. Lips close behind the outer teeth. The actual teeth are located inside the mouth, with pointed incisors and flatter molars. Canines are not prominent and look like incisors.

Pencil art of a creature's head in side-view, the Ozyres. The creature is snarling, showing off its crooked teeth and a long tongue. Its eye is purely white with a soft glow. It has two ears which are set back, underlining the aggressive pose. Art by Kathaja Krim.
