All right all right time for a new #PortfolioDay. Hello! I'm Lauren, a biologist by day and scientific illustrator by... other times. I illustrate for publications, outreach materials, & sometimes board games! 🎨🪶🐡🧪🌎

Digital illustration of a nosa' luta (Rota White-eye), a small yellow-green songbird with a white ring of feathers around the eye, and an orange beak and feet. This bird is drawn with its wings spread and feet held at the ready, about to land on an unseen branch. The background is a loose blur of colors similar to those in the canopy on Rota - bright yellows and greens, with hints of blue from the yoga berries abundant in this species' habitat. For personal use in my research with The Institute for Bird Populations.

Illustration of an island (Bird Island, Saipan) set in a shallow tropical lagoon, fringed by Casuarina and coconut trees. The rocky island is covered in vegetation and tiny dots - lots and lots of birds! More birds are seen flying toward the island, and in the foreground some of these are identifiable as Brown Noddy and Red-tailed Tropicbird. For Nature (NorthStar Games)

Illustration of an Indochinese Green-Magpie with its wings spread as it lands in a thicket of tropical foliage and flowers, all under a bright blue sky with a few soft clouds. This bird is brilliantly colored with a bright green crested head, black mask, red-orange wings, and fanned yellow tail with a black bar. For NorthStar Games' board game Nature.

Commissioned portrait of a Phidippus californicus immature female on a stalk of Swiss chard. She is covered in fine tan hair as she peers inquisitively toward the viewer. She has long black hairs above the eyes at the corners of her head which look like eyelashes.

#PortfolioDay Hi, I'm Ollie! I'm a queer illustrator who loves worldbuilding and stories. I am open to work on ttrpgs, book covers, game assets, characters, and more.

a medieval manuscript style digital illustration. text at the bottom reads "god blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason he made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine: so that humanity might share in the act of creation. - julian k jarboe." in the center of the piece stands a trans person with top surgery scars, body hair, and facial hair. they are nude, with a red cloth partly draped over their body, and they hold a loaf of bread in one hand and a cup of wine in the other. in the dark blue background behind their head is a sun/halo and 5 stars, and on either side of them are stalks of wheat. there is an arched golden frame around them, and around this is an illuminated border of grapevines.

pixel art isometric bedroom in warm earthy colors. the walls are wood paneled with 3 indistinct posters and there is a soft orange carpet. a cat naps on the bed in a patch of sun and a record is playing in the corner. there is a beanbag near the bookshelf and a book resting open on the floor.

digital map of Ortesia, the industrial fantasy city from my old dnd campaign, in a monochromatic color scheme (mostly green). there is a river opening out into the ocean, with a city spanning across several islands. islands include: a marketplace and shops, a lighthouse,
a religious complex, a central palace, an upper class neighborhood, and three fancy manors. the main part of the city is on the west of the river and on the northeast is the larger gnome quarter and industrial neighborhood. in the water there are ships of various sizes and in the countryside there is farmland and forest. a train exits the city from one of two parallel tracks running along opposite sides of the river.

a propaganda poster in a medieval style that reads: "attacks on trans people have always been the harbinger of fascism... throwing us to the wolves will not keep you safe... class solidarity above all else!" the words are broken up by a drawing of a canary in flight with a speech bubble that says "the rich want us fighting a culture war so that we don't wage a class war" and there is an illuminated border with blue thorned flowers and hearts

#Birdtober Day 13: Gray Heron

Bonus Great Blue Heron from last year's Birdtober. I was nervous about this prompt because I wanted to be sure they looked different enough without drawing the full body for either of them. I'm happy with how they both turned out!
