Hello #PortfolioDay!

I'm Scragglebird, a scraggly mess of an art monster who loves character and creature design, fantasy and TTRPGs! I'm a background, prop, and character artist for various Vtubers!

Vgen: vgen.co/scragglebird

An illustration of Scragglebird, a creature that is a combination of vulture, pterosaur and few other things, perches on a tree growing sideways from an old cliff. They stretch their pterosaur-like wing in the autumn sunset. The cliff face is less with moss, mushrooms and ferns.

Kaiju Bay cityscape. The viewer faces the bay at sunset. The reunited city sits in the foreground, most buildings damaged and damping apart due to the presence of large monsters. In the background sits an old circus and Ferris wheel, seemingly still running.

A DnD party of five years in an autumn clearing. A Yuan-Ti artificer fixes one of his gadgets. A teifling ranger gets ready to skin and prepare a rabbit for dinner. A plasmoid monk admires a leaf. A human fighter mends some cloth and a Kenku bars/sorcerer lights the fire.

A talking gif of Momo Toirneach's red and gold monster form. They are canine-like with two sets of horns and spikes down their back and a split tail.

It's finally time to look into PC parts! I haven't built a rig in years. The last PC I bought was custom built. I'm so far out of my depth.

If I have to listen to another white guy on Youchube tell me that I'll never draw good if I don't know the name and placement of every bone and muscle and what shape every sphincter in the body is I'm going to go insane

U can learn to draw a body by just like. looking at it. Observational drawing.

tiny watercolor painting of a tabby cat sleeping peacefully in a bunch of lush blue-green leaves.

watercolor painting of a raven in the middle of lupins. Its feathers have a purple sheen, like the color of the flowers.

watercolor painting of a cute stoat standing in a pile of fallen leaves, looking up at a blob of light floating above. The stoat has two tiny horns and a very boopable snoot.

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Painting of a red borzoi dog. It looks ominous and scary, its half of the body is unraveling into red stripes and glitch effects can be seen in the whole picture.

Picture of a dragonair floating in the air with its head bent toward the ground. There's a gold halo behind the head, some stylized gold clouds and Chinese decoration in the background, as well as stars.

A zoomed photo of a resin job stone inspired from the game final fantasy 14. It's blue, pink and white with gold elements like moon and stars with glitter and gold foil

a pair of golden earrings looking like aetherytes with blue crystals and little white crystals inspired from the game final fantasy 14
