RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Hi #PortfolioDay!

I'm an illustrator from Croatia and I've really been enjoying painting things with stylization, symbolism and pensive characters ✨

I'd love to work on stuff like this for TTRPG and book projects!

Image containing five separate Dragon Age: Inquistion tarot styled pieces. They are:

1) A piece of Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard holding up a sword and a hand over his chest as if in a knightly oath.

2) A piece of Lucanis and Illario Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard standing back to back, hands interwoven and dripping blood.

3) A piece of Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard lying in a field of blue flowers, seemingly asleep, with a sword stuck in his torso.

4) A piece of Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard embracing a white wyvern and seeming at ease while the wyvern watches over him like a guard dog.

5) A piece of Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard stepping out of a line of imperial templars, while dressed as one himself, and turning away with a determined look.

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.

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.

Dear funding agencies,

I know we all want to discover the wonder drug that will cure the horrible diseases, but to do that, we need to invest in basic, unsexy, foundational research on how the systems work. Funding can’t all be drug development.

Sincerely,
Looking for basic research grants.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Well, me again sharing half made stuff that will probably never be finished, but here's my moodboard for Bound By Heart.

A moodboard with 8 art pieces all made by me.
On the left:
2 kneeling humanoid outlines, 1 dark the other light
A grayscale picture of a human kissing a melon sized white egg
An infant dragon in a cave
On the right:
A dark outline of a human with their arms around a tree with dark leaves
An outline of a human standing in the snow with their back to us
Snowy mountains with a dark staring night above
At the top, hands bound in glowing rope, the words "Now freedom felt like a greater curse than bondage"
In the center, a circlet of interwoven thorns on a backdrop of sparkling red, the words "Every curse bears a blessing"

I swear, I’m too tired for this shit- Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, neither do vaccines!

You know what actually does?? ND people knocking boots.

No mystery here, they simply stopped locking us in the attic, chained to the radiator pipes, and/or killing us! End of story!

Day 58 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. This was a fall fashion picture I threw together to practice with my markers. Little did I know, I accidentally only gave Yasha one pocket. OOPS. I still like the picture, though.

A traditional marker piece. Two girls in fall fashion. One is significantly taller than the other.

I’m so, so sorry 💔.

Maegan Bertrand @shytigercreations.bsky.social · Sep 14

About every three months, I have to clean and reorganize the “studio”. It’s my own fault it gets like this, since I’ve crammed three different disciplines into this tiny room: curating a massive postage stamp collection, jewelry making and art 😅.

Bright daylight shines into a tiny room decorated in mid-1980’s reddish-brown shag carpet and faux wood wallpaper.

There’s a 4 ft. white table and a chair on the right, and on the left is a work bench with a wood top and a metal frame. Scattered out on the surfaces and around the floor are various implements for arts and crafts, jewelry making supplies and several boxes full of postage stamps.

I find it odd when companies call a role “fully remote” but then say you must live in X city. If it’s remote, it’s remote. Otherwise, call it hybrid or location-specific. Words matter—especially in job postings. 🤔
