| Death comes from the Woods | 💀

I had the privilege to design and make a character sheet for a client who knew exactly what I was about. Thank you again @nuovanestra.bsky.social for entrusting me with Thralbes! 👁️

#darkart #characterdesign

Character sheet for a massive undead monster with stag features towering above a piece of a forest on the left drawing. On the right is a smaller version, a form the entity takes in other times. Third sketch is of the monster standing on his hind legs.

Full transcript of the text:"The exact origin of this great beast is unknown, but salvaged records confirm its existence dates as far back as a millennium. Its corrupting nature leads to a scarcity of eyewitness testimony. Nevertheless, I have compiled what descriptions I could from the survivors. Features of the beast vary depending on who is asked. Hunters note its prominent features as similar to a stag, while townsfolk say it bears more resemblance to a wolf."

A tarot illustration inspired by the Knight of Swords, featuring Ulric Cousland (my own customized warrior human noble from Dragon Age Origins) wearing a black armor with black fur.

He's facing out of the canvas, determined expression on his face, which is bleeding. (Technically, it's a burn wound from a crazed mage in a Circle, but you know how it is with aesthetics.) He's holding the Summer Sword (originally a greatsword of Loghain's most loyal lieutenant and a sword he punished Loghain with, I just added the little thorns/teeth on the blade, bc again. *Aesthetics*). In his damaged ear, he's wearing an earring Zevran gave him. 'It's the one thing that will make this side of me handsome,' he said upon receiving it.

He's surrounded by a pack of dark wolves. All of the characters have yellow/golden eyes, matching the leaves of the birches in the background.

series of illustration featuring two original characters Rafe and Zacharius (who belongs to @lesoldatmort ) set into the world of Thedas (Dragon Age), inspired by Emerald Graves map and the Temple of Mythal. The whole piece is a view from inside of some overgrown ruins, through a huge door in the shape of pointed arch. In the centre of it there are the characters talking about something. Rafe, an adventurer type, is standing on a rock looking down at Zach standing on the ground (like a normal person) while probably describing something wild to him. Zach is most probably offering some of his own input, but he's definitely not as excited about it as Rafe. Amused more like.

Around them there are broken statues, lots of rocks, fern, plants, behind them there's a view of even more ruins and forest in the background.

The second one is situated in a rain scene near similar ruins, The bois are sitting in the lower left corner of the piece, Zach, who is dry, is casting a barrier around them to hold the water off. Rafe, completely drenched is trying to squeeze more water out of his hair. They're looking at each other playfully. The ruins are overgrown and water is pooling around them. Everything is surrounded by a rather thick fog.

The last one is set near a pond. Rafe's exploring, Zach's chilling in the background.

a digital illustration of two gauntlets/hands, a dark one with golden details and white/lighter one, both inspired by renaissance 15th/16th century armor. their fingers are slightly reaching out for each other. both hands are wrapped in a red ribbon that says 'No Love, however brief, is wasted.' In between there are white periwinkles as a symbol for fond memories

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.

comic page from a sci-fi retelling of Through the Looking-Glass. First panel is a bird eye view of a female presenting character with pink wavy hair, piercings and an undercut, dressed in dark blue clothes. The colour palette of the page (and the whole comic) is pink/blue. The character is extending their hand to touch a sci-fi looking portal/mirror. Second panel is a close up on the character's eye with caption "I will not fail...".

Comic page from a project titled "Change. Colour palette is orange, white and teal blue. First panel shows a guy's back, a cigarette on his left hand, his right hand scratching his neck. He's looking at the moon from a balcony filled with plants. Caption reads "it can't be helped...I guess it's true what they say...".
Second panel is a close up on the guy's smile as he's showing his fangs.

Probably my most ambitious group piece yet, just based on pure numbers - likely the only one I'll do for this campaign, oof -- 13 is a lot, folks!!!
(As usual the designs have my own vague spin on them 🫶)

Le Soldat Mort 💀🍂🎃 @lesoldatmort.bsky.social · 2d

Hello #PortfolioDay! 👁️

It's Mort, your cat obsessed slav necromancer and memento mori enjoyer who dabbles as a freelance illustrator in dark monstrous fantasy and also peaceful dreamy sceneries 🌙

Digital painting of a winged demon, floating above infernal crocodile-looking dragon which is swimming through lava fields. Those are framed by rocks with stairs and smoking pyres in the background. The demon is Astaroth, he has mouths full of sharp teeth in place of eyesockets, horns on his head, black crown and sigil with his symbol and name behind him. In his right hand is a Longinus-look-alike spear with swirling red ribbon around it like a ripped war flag. A demonic viper is slithering around his left hand, crawling from Astaroth's ripped open chest. The whole pose of the demon is slightly reminiscent of a Jesus on a cross.

Poster illustration of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust theme. There are two characters portrayed, the vampire Meier Link who is placed in a round window made of bat wing and framed by a castle silouette and D who takes the lower part of the picture. Right part of his body is obstructed by his swirling cape while he is reaching for his sword with his right hand.

Final Fantasy 7 fanart illustration in style of ukiyo-e featuring Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine meeting on a snowy backyard. Cid is carrying some pieces of metal he probably found on a scrapyard near Rocket Town.

If the disney adults can cancel their subscriptions over Jimmy Kimmel, the potter fans can at least maybe possibly start to admit that Joanne is a little problematic in wanting people like me off the face of the earth. Potentially.

Local man abandoned by friend at a party where he doesn't know anyone else and it's actually really scary. More at 9.

[ #criticalrole #cr4 #occtistachonis #taishalloy ]

A three panelled comic featuring Taisha and Occtis from critical role campaign 4.

The first panel: Taisha is angrily shoving her drink at Occtis while saying 'Oh hell no, who let these assholes in here?! Hold this, Occtis, I'll be back.' Occtis looks startled and is gingerly holding onto her mug and replies 'oh...ok.'

The second panel: Midshot of Occtis just standing there holding Taisha's mug as his brain catches up with his mouth.

The third panel: A close up of his terrified face with the words 'No wait don't leave me' are scrawled next to him
