Hello #portfolioday! I'm Kristin, an illustrator, character designer, and merch designer. I do commission work and would love to do any work in the TTRPG or gaming space!

An illustration of an androgynous person with short pink hair wearing a fitted black sleeveless shirt with a lace cutout and a big purple jacket off the shoulder, with high waisted white pants and two gold belts. They look down with an enigmatic expression. The background is a mix of blue, purple, and pink with glowing lines in an inverted triangle pattern.

An illustration of a man with long wavy white hair in a ponytail over his shoulder, looking to the left with one hand in front of his face and the other over his chest. He wears and off-white shirt with bishop sleeves and a purple vest and is surrounded by dahlias.

A photograph of a set of large stickers featuring dungeons and dragons druid subclasses. Clockwise from top left is Circle of the Moon, Circle of Wildfire, Circle of Spores, and Circle of Stars. The stickers are black with grey icon-style images and geometric backgrounds with broken rays surrounding the main subjects, framed by ribbon banners reading the subclass names. Circle of the Moon features the moon phases arrayed in a circle, Wildfire is a jagged-looking flame, Spores is a pair of spotted mushrooms, and Stars is two stars, one larger than the other.

A digital artwork of two female characters standing and holding each other, foreheads pressed up against each other, in a wilderness area with a vibrant and colorful sunset behind them. One is East Asian with short brown hair, cool grey clothing with short sleeves, and is gazing lovingly at her girlfriend (with one had on the ass because dat ass), the other is white and has long light brown hair, wearing a light blue coat and grey scarf, and has her eyes closed with a soft smile. It's very cute, very gay.

A realistic black and white charcoal portrait drawing of a dog (long neck and face, regal pose, face is almost directly at the camera; shiny dark short fur with longer white tuffs down the neck's middle), drawn on blue toned paper. Charcoal pencils and tortillons lay next to the artwork.

A photo of a traditional artwork of a vast landscape, a sun rising behind clouds, shining over distant mountains and forests, with cliffs surrounding the central subject of a magic beanstalk, towering over everything. Drawn with Tombow markers, also seen in the photograph.

A digital portrait drawing of a masculine anthro dragon character with white skin with gold markings, and red eyes. He has shoulder length blonde hair, long ears and horns, and is smiling while sticking out his snake like tongue.

Hi #PortfolioDay 🐟

I'm Fish and I'm a self-taught multimedia artist; I primarily work with dip pen/ink and watercolor. I do anime/manga fanart, teach, and I'm working on a manga-style webcomic called Best Savored After Dark ☕

rnbwtroutstudios.carrd.co

A watercolor painting of Donquixote Doflamingo from One Piece. He is sitting cross-legged in a chair against a black background and is framed by pink feathers. One arm is resting on the seat, the other is raised up and coming toward the viewer at the top of the image. There are white strings coming from the raised hand. He is laughing and looking down on the viewer.

A watercolor painting of the Roy Mustang vs. Lust scene from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Mustang is in the background on the left; he is holding a lighter out toward the foreground with one hand, holding a wound on his stomach with the other, and smoke is billowing from him. Lust is in the foreground facing away from the viewer, only her head is visible and her hair is coming outside the page borders. She is pointing a sharp weapon (lol can't think what to call it. Finger?) at Mustang. They're set against a black and gray watercolor and ink background.

A digital drawing of my OC Beck. They appear to be sitting and are sipping from a take out coffee cup. Their skin is purple, their hair is a very dark purple, and their eyes are yellow with black sclera. They are wearing gold rimmed glasses, various face piercings, and a yellow and black short sleeves hoodie. There is no background.

A manga style comic pages featuring my OC Aaliyah. This page was drawn in ink, then edited and laid out digitally. There are four panels.

The first panel at the top of the page shows Aaliyah's hands wiping a surface with a cloth.

The second panel shows Aaliyah from the chest up. She has dark skin, braids, and is wearing a t-shirt, apron, and bandana. She looks frustrated and is lost in thought, thinking, "So if I get off at 6 I probably got 5 hours to cram... Maybe 6 if I skip dinner. Can I hit everything on the study guide in that time?". Off to the side in this panel someone says "hello!".

The third panel shows Aaliyah's hand wiping off a milk steamer/frother.

The fourth panel shows Aaliyah at a further distance; she is standing behind a coffee shop counter. She looks upset and is closing her eyes and frowning, thinking, "I shouldn't have gone home this weekend." Off to the side someone says, "hello-" and "um-".

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

My fan cover for Montgomery LaMontgommery's upcoming book, finally spotlighting the most upstanding gentleman in all of Gath. THANK YOU for Wealwell @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @dimension20.bsky.social. He is everything I've ever wanted - nay, needed - and more.
#CloudwardHo #Dimension20

A faux book cover cartoony illustration in brown and teal tones. It shows the Cloudward Ho! cast in a heroic tableau: in the background, Olethra is happily steering the MechLeod, and Daisuke is up on a cliff, aiming a rifle towards centre frame; closer to the viewer are Van on the left, blowing her bosun whistle with tentacles a-tentacling, and Maxwell Gotch on the right, looking a bit unsure about what's happening; closer still are Monty on the left, holding his notebook and looking sagely off-frame, and Marya on the right, holding a huge wrench close to her chest and staring forlornly off-camera. And in the centre and the foreground, looking directly at the viewer, is the lithe, handsome, elegantly poised figure of Wealwell Gotch, hair golden, moustache curled, dressed in a fine teal suit and resting his hand on a katana. The top reads "Montgomery LaMontgommery", and the bottom "Where There's A Weal There's A Well".
The original designs for the Cloudward Ho! cast are by the wonderful Cait May.
