good morning #PortfolioDay !

i'm viktor, a trans gay illustrator, looking for work in books, ttrpgs, and comics. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 historical fiction, fashion, and fantasy is my cup of tea ✨🌿🌸🍵 would love to work with more queer authors and fantasy book boxes!

A digital illustration of a scene from AV Wilkes' 'All the White Spaces'. Jonathan, a trans man and the protagonist, stands in the centre, facing the viewer. He stares ahead in horror, his right hand clutching his throat. From his left eye, strands of bleeding red aurora stretch outwards. These auroras show visions of Jonathan's brothers on the Western Front of the First World War:
- A moustached officer smokes a cigarette in a trench, looking away.
- A soldier is twisted in the remains of barbed wire.
- Three soldiers wear gas masks, emerging from clouds of mustard gas.
- No Man's Land exploded to all hell. A tank is submerged in a shell hole in the distance.
- A skull pressed into the earth.
- A soldier holds a rifle and makes his way across the strait of No Man's Land.

Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers.
Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace.
Right: Two male characters stand in front of each other, staring at the other. One is shorter, and wears a mustard yellow jumper, looking annoyed. The other is taller, with frizzy blonde hair, a purple hoodie, and looks smug. A border of cat toys surrounds them. A cat lies down, arching over the two men, and has a smile on his face.

2 different portrait illustrations side by side.
Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers.
Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels.
Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry.
Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion.
Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it.

A double page spread of a comic. The first page shows a twisted tree in the centre, the space between each branch a panel showing a plague blighting a kingdom. The protagonist called Wolfgang is engulfed in the blighted roots of the twisted tree in the throes of a nightmare. A voice tells him "Take heed, young Durward. These lands know only death, and within its centre, a horror festers. It feasts on all its roots can teach, and what life remains dwindles."
The second page shows a close up of the branches of this twisted tree. Between its panels are images of rot, bodies in body bags, dead fish floating, and the branches are infested with maggots. The voice continues "Soon, there will be naught to satisfy its hunger. But for every poison, there is an antidote."

The pen is mightier than the sword 🖋️📚

-is especially true when said pen is writing in a spell book. First time finishing full art for this NPC, which is insane considering Helfi is trying to smooch them, but last time I was drawing them they died so 🤷
#dnd #ttrpg #art

A half-elf, half-dwarf (Angel) standing with a spell book in one hand and the other gesturing off to the side. They have tan skin, dusty brown hair that is tied in a messy plait, and wear simple adventuring clothes: boots, pouches and leather armour. Their hands and forearms are wrapped with cloth that glows with arcane runes inscribed along its length.

Spontaneous Carcinometamorphosis, commonly known as Mancini's disease after the famed boxer-turned-crustacean Bruno Mancini, is a disease that will slowly turn skeleton to exoskeleton, hands to claws, lungs to gills, until a human being finds itself where all the roads of evolution lead: crab.

A textbook anatomical drawing of a human with a large crab claw for an arm. Some of the organs inside appear to be that of a crab's.

A black-and-white photo of a patient in a hospital, being held by two nurses. The man's arms are now crab claws, and his skin is turning into an exoskeleton. His eyes are now at the end of stalks.

A textbook showing three black-and-white pictures of a person's arm turning into a crab claw. The three stages read "Presymptomatic patient", with a regular man's arm, "Exoskeletalization", where the arms turns hard and segmented and the fingers start fusing, and "late stage transformation", where the arm is fully crab-like.

Food for thought für alle, die KI in der historisch-politischen Bildung einsetzen wollen. ZB, um Zeitzeug*innen wieder zum Leben zu erwecken. Die haben oft auch Angehörige - und die sollten definitiv ein Wörtchen darüber mitzureden haben, ob und wie ihre Familienmitglieder dargestellt werden.

Am 31.10.2025 erscheint mein neuer Roman im @eichbornverlag.bsky.social.

❤️ Autorinnenfreundlich hier vorbestellen: shop.autorenwelt.de/products/da-...

Das Cover der Romans: DA, WO ICH DICH SEHEN KANN. Hinweis darunter: 1. Auflage mit limitiertem Farbschnitt. Vorbestellbar ab sofort. 31.10.2025

"Als Kind hatte Liv in Sommernächten aft in den Himmel geschaut und sich vorgestellt, die Sterne seien Tore, seien Eingänge zu anderen Welten. Paralleluniversen, in denen alles möglich war. Gab es eine andere Liv da
draußen? Eine, die nicht hier saß. Mutiger vielleicht, weniger müde, glücklicher? Ein Paralleluniversum ohne tote beste Freundin.
Eines, in dem Frank früh gestorben war, in dem Emma Archäologin geworden war und. ihre Träume erfüllt hatte, in dem diese Liebe zwischen Maja und Emma nie hätte enden
müssen. Und als Liv das kleine, schlafende Kindergesicht betrachtete, diese feinen, zusammengezogenen Augenbrauen, dachte sie: Wenn ich könnte, würde ich dir ein Raumschiff bauen. Mit bloßen Händen, aus Aluminium; aus Titan, aus purer Verzweiflung. Und ich würde dich da hinfliegen."

neunjährige Maja wächst in einer zerrütteten Familie auf - ein tyrannischer Vater, eine liebevolle, aber unterdrückte Mutter, dazwischen viel Schweigen und
Dinge, die ihr keiner erklärt. Als Frank, Majas Vater, ihre Mutter tötet, reißt er ein Loch in die Welt - für Maja, aber auch für alle anderen, die zurückbleiben. Von einem Moment auf den anderen ist nichts mehr, wie es war:
Zwischen Trauer, Sorgerechtsstreit und Bürokratie wird Maja zum Spielball und verliert inmitten von Anträgen und Zuständigkeiten ihre Familie, ihr Zuhause, das Gefühl von Sicherheit und die Gewissheit, zu wem sie gehört.
Ihre gewollt kinderlose Patentante Liv will für sie da sein, fängt sie auch auf, ringt dabei aber mit eigenen

Unsicherheiten, alten Ängsten und der Überforderung, plötzlich Verantwortung übernehmen zu müssen. Und doch wachsen sie zusammen: beim Blick durchs Teleskop
und beim Versuch, im endlosen Raum Antworten zu finden, die ihnen niemand sonst geben kann.
Ein Roman über Liebe, über Verlust, über strukturelles Versagen - und darüber, wie eine Gemeinschaft ins Wanken gerät, wenn ein Femizid alles erschüttert. Erzählt
aus mehreren Perspektiven entfaltet sich das Panorama einer Familie im Ausnahmezustand und einer Gesellschaft, die dem strukturellen Kern der Gewalt gegen Frauen immer noch ausweicht.

Das neue Jahr 2025 war keine 48 Stunden alt, da hat mein Nachbar seine Frau ermordet.
Vor ihrem gemeinsamen Kind.
Fast jeden Tag wird in Deutschland eine Frau getötet.
68,6 Prozent dieser Tötungsdelikte passieren im Rahmen häuslicher Gewalt.
2023 wurden 968 Frauen in Deutschland Opfer vollendeter oder versuchter Tötungsdelikte - bei rund 360 von ihnen hat es der Täter geschafft.
Alle drei Minuten erlebt eine Frau in Deutschland häusliche Gewalt durch ihren Partner oder Ex-Partner.
Nach sogenannten Dunkelfeldstudien ist jede dritte Frau in Deutschland mindestens einmal in ihrem Leben von Gewalt betroffen.
Ich wollte schon lange über dieses Thema schreiben, habe mich bei den Meldungen oft gefragt: Was passiert mit den Kindern? Wo bleiben die? Die Recherche war richtig schlimm und hart und rasend vor Wut machend, wo es um Studien und Gespräche mit Psycholog:innen zum Thema ging, aber richtig toll und erfüllend beim
Thema Astrophysik. Und so ist das Buch hoffentlich auch geworden: schmerzhaft und schlimm und schön und zauberhaft und traurig und heiter und eiskalt und warm. Auf dass es viele Leser:innen finden möge.

I couldn't get certain art projects working the way I wanted. So I decided to do a bit of a reset and do a complete different style and feel for this piece. And I'm so glad I did because I got some good fun practice in for the flowers, colours and composition ^^
