Hi #portfolioday!

A huge spectral blue centipede swirls through the air around a tall Elven woman with sharp features and windswept hair. A black cloak billows around her shoulders as she raises a hand glowing with Magenta magic to cast through an elaborate staff, her blue eyes burn from the shadow of her wide-brim hat. Spider lilies dot the base of a small shrine to a centipede god in the foreground. The ghostly apparition seems to originate from the smoke of its incense.

Mood illustration of a Mob of Demons in a glowing red wasteland. Their small leader rides on the back of a massive individual using a gibbet as a flail.

An Ulsdottir (Giantblooded) woman with white hair pulled back with a headwrap. She charges toward an unseen foe with a manic grin with axe and spear, undeterred by the arrows piercing her tattooed body.

An illustration of my take on a 'hound' of Tindalos from the Lovecraft Mythos. Rather than a dog it is shaped more like a Gulper eel with eerily humanoid limbs and a barbed tongue. It floats elegantly like smoke from a sharp angle torn in reality.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun on that one; I love getting to reference non-European cultures for fantasy settings. Always feels like a treat

An illustration of a goliath hunter on his mount in snowy mountain terrain, facing off against a crag cat. The Goliath is a young man, dressed in brown and white furs, accented with red and blue woven panels. He wields a red horsebow. His mount is a mixture of a reindeer and a markhor goat. His tack and gear matches the colors and motifs of his rider. He is mid leap. In the foreground, a white sabertoothed cat pursues the pair. In the background are snowy peaks and Giant ruins.

A digital portrait of an elven woman with golden blonde hair in sweeping chignon. She holds a hand to her chin, looking over her shoulder, eyes down cast. She wears shades of blue and gold.

A cleric astride a flying broom raises a glowing sword above a battle field. Golden, rays of bright light stream out from the sword. Her party members and herself are wrapped in golden glowing flowers and vines. They stare up at her in awe.

The party members, counter clockwise from the top left are: A dwarven artificer wearing jeweltones and riding a magic carpet, the cleric wearing a gold breastplate and blue robes; a giant fighter in full adamantine plate and a dragon helm; a half-drow Psi-fighter in blues and purples, floating mid-air and holding her crossbow; and a tiefling ranger, arms stretched out in joy and relief.

Behind the party members is a truly gargantuan giant, you can see him only up to his knees. He wears silver greaves and you can catch a glimpse of his great axe.

Ruins of a city are in the distant background.

A giant-sized cowgirl reclines in the pasture with her livestock (primarily cows, with a few chickens sneaking in) as the sun rises off screen.

She has red hair in pigtail braids and wears a cowboy hat and boots along with a magenta and leather western bodice, and suede pants with runic inspired panel/stitch detailing.
The crescent moon and the tears of Selene are between a horizon of red rock hills and puffy pink clouds. A barn with thatched roof is nestled in the shadow beneath a crag at the right edge of the image.

Hi all!

My unemployment is ending soon and I’m still looking for a job, so any support or shares help a lot as these commissions will soon become my only source of income.

Currently taking DND/OC commissions on V-Gen!

Thanks a bunch 💜

Illustration of Critical Role’s Caduceus Clay and Mollymauk Tealeaf with art nouveau influences.

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.

MELFIST - Reposting helps a lil'guy grow @lordmelfist.bsky.social · 1d

Oh boy oh boy it's #PortfolioDay once again
I'm Melfist, I'm an illustrator and comic artist. I'm preparing a massive comic saga and showing off a few of the concepts. I also do some fanarts from time to time.

A huge monster reminiscent of a massive elephant carries a white city on its back. The monster is fleshy, pinkish, has multiple curve tusks, many tentacle-like proboscides, and walks on many shambling legs, some akin to that of a spider. It has two heads, one on each side of the city, each with four golden eyes and a small flame flickering above its head. A cloudy sky is shown in the background and mists surround its walking ground.

A monstrous scaled spider-woman. Her limbless torso rises from where a spider's mouth would be, and all the eight limbs of the spider are elongated, white and gangly, ending in fully functional seven-fingered hands. The head of the monster has incredibly long, white straight silken hair, falling in front of her. The woman has a hybrid face between human, insect and reptilian, with six visible eyes, mandibles around the sharp-teethed mouth, and two curved horns rising to the side of the head, one horn slightly longer than the other.
Behind the spider-woman, the black starry sky, with a waning(waxing?) crescent moon above the spider-witch, framed in a hole at the centre of a massive spiderweb. The picture is completely black and white with the exception of the spiderweb, which is red, slightly fleshy, and irregular. The spider-witch raises two of her limbs to the moon behind her as if she can reach or grasp it, while two other limbs stroke her hair.

A fan-made comic page of Hellboy meeting some Space Marines (from Warhammer 40k) of the Crimson Fists chapter. The space marine lights Hellboy's cigarette with his flamer while saying "An impressive power-fist you wield, sanctioned mutant. But your bolter seems... outdated." Hellboy answers "Uhh... thanks?" and the space marine gives him a gun and a piece of shoulder armor, saying "Our munitorum has allowed me to issue you with a protective pauldron, and I'll share my spare bolter with you." Hellboy takes it and asks "Bolter, huh. What's it fire?"
The space marines assemble, and a dreadnought rises nearby as Hellboy dons the pauldron and wields the gun, while the space marine answers "Gyro-jet assisted armor-piercing explosive rounds!"
Hellboy grins and comments "Now we're talking!"

A scene from a Darkest Dungeon fan-comic, showing the Ancestor lighting a torch in a massive antechamber deep within the earth. Strange fungi grow inside the cave, near an antediluvian gate surrounded by stone tentacles. The Ancestor is triumphant, but his attendant (the Caretaker from the game) and his workers are shocked and in dismay.

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand).

Illustration from first person view, showing a hand holding up an opalescent stone with a hole in the center. The stone has brass filigree, and through the hole is a view of a mountain sheep. The background is a mountainous landscape. There are slight magical effects showing that the view through the stone is a zoomed in view of the background.

An alabaster gargoyle and a feminine figure dressed in black robes with their faces shadowed by hoods. The pair are within a gothic styled church, standing before an altar on a dais, preaching to spectators behind the POV. Candles cast plenty of light in the room despite the flames being purple, and all the decorations and the architecture is gothic in design. They look as though they are in the middle of performing a sermon in unison

A Kitsune Magus summons 5 motes of foxfire while wreathed in a magical aurora. They have the cross fox fur pattern and are bundled up in a Greatcoat with lots of occult odds and ends tucked into belt pouches and a purple sash. Their rock familiar hangs from a netted bag on their belt, with a battered red spellbook is stowed on the opposite side.

A Tanglefolk (Similar folk to Halflings) woman smiles at the viewer. She is dark skinned with tightly curled hair dyed blue toward its tips, she wears colorful yellow and blue clothing with bright geometric patterns and is covered in pouches and stowage for wares and small objects. She has a Songstaff slung over her shoulder, a blend between Ocarina and walking stave, it whistles when swung or as the Tanglefoot sprint at their famed high speeds.
