Returned to the soundtrack today so it felt right to share some old fanart I made for it #sayonarawildhearts

Question for Game Devs: Did you ever play a game that reignited your love for game development? I feel like I've got a pile of such game, but one I keep coming back to is Sayonara Wild Hearts youtu.be/Rx9hx33aJ8g?...
Some day, I'd love to make something like this.

Yesterday we released Islanders: New Shores and reading reviews such as these truly warms my heart. We feel seen in the same way that we tried our best to see what made the 1st game so good. You should all give the game a go, it'd make me very happy if you did! #IslandersNewShores

It is finally done, welcome to divine pandemonium

In its centre is a large worm like figure clad in several golden masks, adorned with purple eyes peers down at the cityscape below

Re-post from 2022 of one of @monkiponk.bsky.social 's #D&D characters, Zhul'ah the half orc Ranger. She's a delight to play against, and despite being the mom of the group most of the time, has no issues being my partner in crime and comes up with the best ideas!

Re-post from 2021 of my #D&D character, Leo the Card Slinger. I played a home brew class that turned out to be quite a glass cannon and while the game didn't last all that long, I had so much fun with it! His outfit was designed by the super talented @quihnn.bsky.social

A great game from a very talented dev team that I wish I could have worked with more. I never played the original Islanders but this one is amazing, trust me.

Another piece in the Ariel Series, a list of #commissions I'm making featuring Ariel from the Little Mermaid. This is the seventh part of the series! The background almost killed me but I'm very pleased with how it came out!

Re-post from 2020 of my #D&D character Kevdyr Albere the Druid. He started as a true neutral but... he's more chaotic neutral these days. I have so much fun whenever I play him because he rarely says no, and the DM knows it...

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Sofie and I'm a Concept Artist/Art Director (kind of looking for work actually). As I'm a busy bee making games, I don't have that much time to do my own art right now, so I will be reposting some old stuff in the upcoming weeks. Enjoy!
