Happy #PortfolioDay!

I'm Cyberpumpkin and I do a lot of drawing characters either having adventures, or just slices of life.

#art #artsky

Hornet from Silksong and the Knight from Hollow Knight are pictured on a tiled platform with ornate wrought iron arches in the background.

Hornet pats the Knight on the head. She says:

"You're doing a good job, little ghost."

This piece is dated 20251002

The scene is in daytime. A smooth dirt path with rocks and tall grasses along the sides makes its way through a forest with thick undergrowth.

On the left is a house-shaped wagon with a tiled roof and a wheel on either side. The front of the wagon has a wooden bar for pulling it. One side of the bar has a little golden bell with a leather holder for when it's time to be quiet. The front of the wagon has a door on it that opens up on several rows of bookshelves. There is also a pole that extends from the peak of the wagon's roof out in front that has a lantern hanging from it.

On the viewer's side of the wagon is a wooden counter with hinges so it can be closed over the opening in the side of the wagon. The opening contains dozens of books in all different sizes. A few thicker books sit on the counter.

To the right side of the counter is the Librarian: A steam-clockwork robot who delivers, collects, and lends books all over the countryside. The Librarian's body is made of shiny yellow metal, and he wears the green and blue livery of his kingdom. The Librarian wears a broad-brimmed hat. His eyes are dark square windows with points of light shining out from them.

The Librarian is holding out a book to a pale woman with pointy ears, yellow hair, and a big leather backpack that appears to be brimming with books. The woman wears a long purple coat and a matching top hat. To the woman's right is a pale younger boy with pointy ears and matching black and gray clothes and hat. The boy holds an open book and looks enthusiastic about what he finds there.

There is a small brown owl perched on the roof of the wagon, watching the activity below. There is also a hole in one of the trees in the background with a raccoon peeking out.

This picture is set inside walls made of big heavy cut stones. In a corner, a spook farmer has set up a vegetable stall.

The spook wears a wide-brim straw hat with holes to let the ears stick up, as well as pouches for different coins on a leather strap. The spook stands in the middle of the stall.

To one side is a wooden bin with sections to hold three different vegetables. To the other side is a bin with a lower part holding heads of lettuce, and the upper part holds what looks like bundles of asparagus, onions, and some kind of bluish fruit.

Behind the spook is another multi-level bin with orange and green vegetables on top. Also in the back is a tall chest of drawers holding bins of dried goods.

In the front right is a big basket holding what looks like brownish purple fruits. To the left, in front of the vegetable bins are two big wooden tubs. One holds what looks like orange and yellow striped gourds, and the other holds small purple and white striped watermelons.

There are hand-drawn signs with little pictures of each item with a price written in. In the corner of the two stone walls, above the stall, hangs a tapestry showing hills with plowed farm fields, a blue sky and a big yellow sun.

This is a nighttime scene in a forest in late autumn. The trees are bare and there are leaves carpeting the forest floor in red, orange, and yellow. My OC, Spooky (who looks a bit like a black pillow with big reflective eyes) wears a yellow scarf and carries a green camping lantern.

Spooky is talking to Pumpy, a tubby yellow robot wearing hiking boots and has a jack-o'-lantern for a head. Pumpy is carrying a simple wooden toolbox.

From a tree branch above them, a grey squirrel (Spooky's friend, Squirrely) looks down at them interestedly. There is also a small owl peeking over another branch at them.

Oh hamburgers, I almost missed another #PortfolioDay! So here's my specialty, painted fantasy miniatures, models, and busts! I've been doing this for... about 5 years I think?

Halloweentown is always a winner from me! And the live action Scooby doo!

Pagan @paintingpagan.bsky.social · 21h

It's wild to think about because it was built by one guy because he wanted to.

Like, it's free to the public and always has been. Talk about a labor of love!

Pagan @paintingpagan.bsky.social · 21h

Are you, uh, cookin something up? 👀

Pagan @paintingpagan.bsky.social · 22h

It's a place called Bishop Castle, hidden in the mountains of southern Colorado!

Pagan @paintingpagan.bsky.social · 22h

Okay, well, I like all of the above, BUT if I absolutely had to choose, I would say classic horror!

I'm two out of three of those!!

Pagan @paintingpagan.bsky.social · 23h

Visited a castle today, and I was instantly filled with the masculine urge to sword fight my life-long Nemesis. Followed by the masculine urge to quietly bleed out after the fight.

Followed by the goblin urge to drop my phone off the top of the tower

Happy #portfolioday 💜

I draw what feels fun, but I also would love to draw more TTRPG characters! I can also do emotes and icons for your Discord or social media 💜

I'm looking for commissions to recover some moving expenses 💜

Here's my Ko-Fi link if you'd like to see more! ko-fi.com/java95939

A redraw of the melty face emote, using the artist's persona Java. A skull with a cyan mohawk and glowing cyan eyes, laying on its side and melting into the floor.

A purple tiefling (half fiend) character standing in front of windows. She wears a long blue coat and a purple tri-corner hat with a pink feather in the cap. She also wears a grey shirt, a gray scarf and belt around her waist, and a pink scarf around her hips. Her pants are green and she wears knee high boots. Her arms are crossed over her chest and she smiles at the viewer. Around her neck she has a purple choker with a white teardrop stone, and a longer necklace with a purple gem. Her hands are partially covered with gray fingerless gloves with heart cutouts on the backs of her hands.

The artist's persona, Java. They are a skeleton wearing a black hoodie and large black headphones, and they have an aqua/teal mohawk hairstyle. They have an extremely tired expression, and they are holding a purple to go cup of coffee.

Here's a little Finari and Shiraxis romance post. It just gets spicier from here. I like to think of the lone Finari picture being after she took all of Shiri's glowing... Stuff 😏🤭

For all of my garden minded friends!
I know it's getting colder, but this season is actually perfect for planting tulips.

Tulips on someone's forehead. 😘

Can I offer you an owlbear in these trying times?

#art #digitalart #d&d #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #ttrpg #owlbear

A purple owlbear sitting on its behind and facing the viewer. Its back paws face forward, and its front paws rest between them. It has fluffy feather horns, and a blank look on its face.
