Happy #PortfolioDay everyone! I'm Sandal, and I'm on a journey to tell magical stories through my environments.

A digital painting of a jagged, icy landscape in which an elf, clad in green with a drawn bow, walks through a gate on the other side of which spreads a lush green forest. We look from above. The elf looks lost in the icy landscape, ready for anything.

A digital painting of a ruin atop a winding with green grass that grows yellow where it's lit by the sun, steep cliff with a deep blue see in the background.

A digital painting of a moss-covered tree curling around in a circle until the canopy recedes into the fog, where more gigantic trees are visible. A row of red triangular flags is decorating the path leading up to the tree.

A digital painting of a gun-shaped spaceship with miniscule people in the cockpit flying towards an orange, glowy entrance in a brutalist building atop a snowy cliff in the middle of a snow storm.

Watercolor illustration of a bunch of colorful pumpkins, with a beige striped cat sleeping on top of them curled up into a ball, slightly resembling the round pumpkins itself.

Traditional fan art in watercolor and colored pencil. It’s an illustration showing the Pokémon Ampharos, with a little Togepi in its arms, standing among bushes full of yellow flowers. A small house, trees and electrical poles can be seen in the background, with Mt. Fuji faintly hovering over them in the distance.

Traditional drawing in mixed media of a white cat with a yellow straw hat sitting inside a blue cardboard box. It’s surrounded with other boxes full of oranges.

Hi #PortfolioDay

I'm Gema, I'm an illustrator from Spain who likes drawing colorful, whimsical worlds and characters.

I love sci-fi, fantasy and playing with original concepts. I’m always searching for bold colour combinations!

🌱Portfolio: colorfuelcreations.carrd.co

Burnout. Illustration of a winged creature of humanoid shape with a flaming head. They're crying as they crouch, using a hand to draw with ashes on the ground. Their wings are extended behind them surrounded by disembodied open eyes.

Cosmic Geometry. Colorful illustration of an astronaut floating in space, making first contact with an unknown entity in the form of a giant ball of convulsive energy.

Mute. Portrait of a face with no mouth. In its place grow plants, algae and corals. They are looking straight at the viewer, trying to communicate something.

Jellyheart. A green skinned mermaid with long dark hair floats at sea, surrounded by a big group of jellyfish of all colours. Her skin is translucent, her empty ribcage clearly visible through it. She is holding a small pink jellyfish against her chest that symbolizes her heart.

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I'm Abi, and illustrator with a bold and colourful digital style.
Portfolio: abistevens_art
Email: [email protected]

Currently looking for commission work! (Private and/or commercial!)
#commissionsOpen #illustration #art

Here's some of my favourite personal work!

A digital illustration of a purple figure with a flat expression and their hands up grasping weakly at colourful looping shapes with bold black lines. Some have yellow eyes at the centre, they obscure most of the figures head, neck and shoulders.

A digital illustration of a colourful moth with swirly leafy details in its wings and a pastel rainbow ombre body. It is framed by swirly leafy shapes also in pastel ombre tones, and a rainbow spiral with circles showing the phases of the moon in yellow and white. The large full moon rests at the centre of the spiral and under the moths right wing.

A sigitL illustration of a white bat with 2 heads and eight wings in flight. It has no eyes and each wing is a different colour: blue, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, indigo and violet. It is framed by pastel sparkles and a gold ring border with a repeating pattern of eyeballs around it. In the outer corners are feathery stylised purple wings, and circles showing the phases of the moon.

A digital illustration: a parody of memento mori still life paintings but it's arranged on a beach and has a 'goth summer' theme. Objects include a skull, sunglasses, globe beachball with a witch hat on top, romance books with a knife stabbed in the top, a cocktail with an eyeball in it, a poison punch bottle, suncream, fang sweets, melting icecream, shells, bucket and spade, beach bag and towels. They are framed by a grey beach umbrella, deckchair, and a footprint in the sand.

A wandering adventurer, grasping a chipped knife, and their giant corgi wade through a lush, warm swamp. Behind them, a giant snake uncurls and stalks them. Will they survive?

An oil painting on linen. A man leans back looking off right. His eyes and forehead are cast in light. His young child leans, half asleep, against him.

A digital portrait of a woman with a mass of curled hair is spotlit by a harsh light from above. Tight brushes around the face, give way to loose and abstract brushstrokes around the perimeter of the subject.

A portrait of a man interrupted while playing guitar in a living room. He looks at the viewer. Day light from behind diffuses into the room while a lamp lights the figure from the left.
