Rocky Road; portrait colorist, not an illustrator @rockyroad.bsky.social · Jul 8
#PortfolioDay
I am not an illustrator, but not all illustrators color their portraits. If you have portraits or possibly even full comic pages, I am interested in applying colors, light, and shadows to enhance your illustrations.

I look forward to discussing your commissions soon.
Dragon Ball era Krillin and Goku. Goku holds a thumbs-up pose, standing in the light, casting his shadow over Krillin's face, suggesting a possible interpretation that he has upstaged Krillin who was previously trying to pose for camera/viewer, Goku oblivious of the effect of his actions. Drawn by Teevo / Bob Enzar Luz Noceda of The Owl House finds a Hexside shortcut door to Amphibia; Anne Boonchuy, Sprig, and Polly do not respond well, slamming the door on the witch in training. Drawn by Swain Women of the Cerritos crew from Star Trek: Lower Decks in their workout fits. Drawn by Simon Commander T'Ana MD stretching her shoulders, her feline features from her Caitian heritage. Beckett Mariner's wiry build standing contrappasto, holding her towel. Orion science officer, D'Vana Tendi, catching her breath setting hands on knees. Iury Padilha draws Spirit Blossom Ahri from League of Legends. Her kitsune tails wiggle behind her. Her hands gather spiritual energies that shine a ghostly blue light on nearby surfaces. Her skimpy kimono is patterned with clouds and a white-pink ombre. Much of her outfit is trimmed with gold.

Hi Pamu, thanks for Hosting! I'm Kira! I draw my OCs basically at constant.
an oc, Sitriini Sinfonia, stilling on a stool playing his acoustic guitar in the rays of the morning sun. He is still in a classroom setting with music posters on the wall with a short bookshelf of books against the wall under the window. There are 2 rock tumblers on the bookshelf with little baskets of rocks setting next to them. there is a rug on the floor that is fluffy and red, orange and yellow. Sinfonia's hair is down and it is Citrine Orange but it is shining golden where the light hits it. It is long, around his waist and down. He has on glasses with a square frame and a bottom orange frame. there are two rings on his fingers and a necklace around his neck. He's wearing a light orange turtleneck sweater with brown kitty paws walking up the chest, dark grey pants and brown dress shoes. He is singing while he plays his guitar. a picture of an OC, Sitriini Sinfonia, playing his violin. He is wearing a brown vest and a goldenrod button down shirt with 3/4 sleeves. He has on a red jasper pillar necklace and two rings on his hand. One is golden and red and the other is silver and blue. He has fair skin and citrine orange hair pulled up in a high ponytail with four ruby red crystal horns. He has deep grey wrist braces on each wrist. He is on a blue background with orange mist surrounding him at the bottom with music notes floating towards the back. His eyes are closed and he is smiling as he plays his violin A comic page of two OCs, Sitriini Sinfonia and Aqua Sielu. They both are wearing torn clothing and are covered in dirt and injuries. Sinfonia is bleeding from the face and there is blood running from his mouth, nose and above his left eye on his forehead. He has long messy citrine orange hair and is wearing a tattered deep grey hooded cloak with a torn goldenrod dress shirt that has three-quarter sleeves. He has on grey dress pants that are torn on his right leg and dark grey fingerless gloves that are also torn and tattered. Sinfonia has 4 ruby red crystal horns on his head that are short. He's laying unconscious in Sielu's arms as Sielu holds him close to his chest protectively. Sielu has long messy aqua blue hair with 3 tall green crystal horns, He's looking down as he cries and heavy rain pours over both of them. He's wearing a tattered deep brown hooded cloak and a tattered light blue dress shirt that the sleeves have mostly ripped off of. He has on dirty light brown dress pants. The first frame is Sielu holding Sinfonia and Sielu is yelling "VOLTAIRE" the second frame is a close up of Sinfonia's injured face and the 2nd is a close up of Sinfonia's injured arm. The 3rd is a close up of Sielu's face and he's saying "If he dies ... so do .. " with a final frame of Sielu's eyes, glowing right aqua blue and furious. His pupils are glowing white slits like a cat's would be as he cries angry tears and screams "YOU" in bright red text. a picture of a sky with flat colors of aamunkoitto at the center looking up. valo floating up on the left side, sielu falling happily as he plays in the sky with revon hanging upside down closest to the screen looking back at them there are sun beams from the sun light in the upper left hand corner coming across the page

Petals flutter past them in the wind. Willow belongs to ElenaFernie on Artfight. Panache: A purple tiefling in a flowing pink dress.

An old WIP that I am reusing as a thumbnail. The full piece had a layout of buildings in perspective. Unfortunately, I lost the motivation to render the rest when I merged the wrong layers by accident and lost my progress. The buildings were inspired by Japanese architecture. I modified the colour palette to have cyan trim. In the background, the sun is setting in an array of oranges, pinks, and blues. The thumbnail is captioned: 800 followers art share -- thank you!

They have freckles, blue-grey eyes, and are wearing a blue button-up shirt patterned with a dragon. The background is of a purple sky and full moon. Text on the image reads "300 follower art share."

Congrats and thank you so much for this!

I'm Lerun (pronounced as Le-roon), an artist who draws mostly furry/anthro, OCs and also sometimes fanart and gift art too!

Planning to start working on my project/story soon!

Here's some of my favorite artworks from this year!
A drawing of a pink hybrid bunny/alpaca with lighter pink short hair, wears black witch hat with light yellow star on its tip and black witch outfit with a yellow star compact on a lavender bow on her chest. She's holding a big black heart-shaped stick with lavender orb and purple bow on the stick. A drawing of two goats (one is light-gray with long pink hair, black horns, wearing a gray top, and the other one is white/brown with antenna with yellow orb on its tip on her head, gray horns, green top with white dots and green butterfly wings), sitting in bed surrounded with red rose petals, kissing. Text: Happy Valentine's day! A drawing of a light-cream colored unicorn with long curly blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a long lavender dress that covers her legs, trying to reach for the shiny star. Grassy night background. A drawing of a big orange dragon with a dark teal eye, cream-colored bird wings on his head, white horn on his forehead, white claws on his paws, small dark-teal bat wings on his back, has a cream-colored belly. He has a teal orb on his tail. Cloudy sky background.

Hello!!! I'm LDD from Delaware. I mostly do stuff like this 👇🏽 of my OC, from a story I'm working on.

🖖🏽😁
Stormy ⛈️ - Preferred VA : Kat Denning & Awkwafina Stormy, the Angel of Time. She's as-if Limp Bizkit and Lady Gaga formed a super-group. She's an episode of Metalocalypse. A 70's horror B-movie, but on purpose...... She's fucking GRINDHOUSE!!!! But she's super sweet, and adores children especially baby sky turtles. She's kinda like a My Little Pony..... with a "gun". If ANYONE messes with the space-time continuum, she WILL BE THERE, and clap those cheeks!!!! She WILL NOT kill anyone (everyone is apart of Phoe-Bee). But.... there's a lot of beatings that can be dished-out, without killing someone. 😜 Flower: Bird of Paradise https://characterhub.com/character/stormy-StrvQzVr Adelaine Moon - Preferred VA: Megan Thee Stallion An immortal accidental celestial clone of my main OC Lain. As Lain and Adelaine were once one being, they were born in the 1980s. They lived a full life, and died in a hospital with their soul mate Heléna. It just so happens, a cooky scientist was doing some science-shit at the same time. A hole got torn in the space-time continuum and Phoe-Bee's (God's) energy pushed their souls back into their bodies. They were revived and now their bodies constantly regenerate to peak cellular condition. Also, the energy sent to Lain, cloned him, and created Adelaine. Personality-wise.... 🤔 She's like a Megan Thee Stallion song, come to life. Flower: Honeysuckle Phoe-Bee 🐝 - Preferred VA : Chelsea Peretti and Caitlin Glass Phoe-Bee. She is God. The coalescence of all energy in the universe (including "YOU!"). She's got ALL the knowledge, but still working on figuring out context. She CANNOT read a room. She gained full consciousness in the the mid-1980's, but didn't realize it fully until space-time was broken by a random scientist. She likes to hang-out-with/travel the cosmos with the Living Dead Division as a robotic bee, she originally tried an organic bee, but a 3-foot-long bee wasn't received calmly by really any species. Flower: Honey Dijon Rose Elysia Eryn and Lottie Lily. Elysia Eryn - Preferred VA: Zendaya Elysia Eryn (based on my oldest daughter) is the older sister of Lottie Lily (based on my youngest daughter). And she is a mechanical whiz kid. She's a builder, engineer, and tech nerd. Being a descent of Lain/Adelaine, the Living Dead Division watch over their bloodline through the ages. Flower: Lily of the Valley Preferred VA :....?.... Caitlin Glass....? Lottie Lily is the younger sister of my OC Elysia Eryn. They both are part of the Bloodline. Descendants of Lain, and Adelaine Moon. She is the science genius girl, the Star Trek nerd. Captain McSassypants. A true wunderkind..... But, she's also Daffy Duck. Flower: Lily Stargazer

SFW #artshare (I repost for reposts)

I only practice the color aspects of art, usually in fanart portraits. Most pieces are hobby / practice works using permitted illustrations, but I also take commissions to render color for clients with intent to try comics as well.

Show off your specialty!

"Battle Suits"
#JillValentine #ShevaAlomar #ClaireRedfield #ResidentEvil
Jill Valentine, Sheva Alomar, and Claire Redifield from Resident Evil. All three women are wearing Jill's skin tight bodysuit from Resident Evil 5 in different colors. Jill is on the left in a blue bodysuit. She is a pale skinned woman with light blue eyes and two-toned brown and blonde hair tied into a ponytail. She is pointing a Skorpion vz off to the side with a sneer on her face. Another of the same weapon is strapped to her left thigh. Sheva is in the middle wearing a purple bodysuit. She is a dark skinned brown-eyed African woman with her dark brown hair also tied into a ponytail. She is holding an SVD in her hands with a more relaxed posture and expression. She is the only character looking directly at the viewer. Claire is on the right in red. She is a fair skinned woman with blue eyes and brown hair tied into a ponytail like the others, though with long bangs framing her face. In her hands is an M79 grenade launcher. She is looking off to the side cautiously.
