Hello Everyone; new friends and old!

I figured I'd make a first post and introduce myself! I've been working full-time in video games doing concept design for over 15 years. The last decade + at id Software! I've contributed to 15 titles and one animated tv show as an intern!

Cheers ~

Before touching 3D or photoshop for this task, I did a series of pen-only drawings (no erasing!) for the Super Shotgun in DOOM: The Dark Ages!

I knew it would need to be lever action + we wanted a flint-lock weapon so it was a lot of creative problem-solving early on.

Grey tone added later.

A colorful portrait of a fantasy character (they/them) with long dark hair and curly horns. They wear golden jewelry and decorated clothing.

A black and white drawing of a character with long dark hair and curly horns, surrounded by stylized foliage. A symbolic dagger seems to be piercing their throat. The character has a calm expression - eyes closed and a subtle smile on their lips.

A decorative and detailed black and white portrait of a long-haired character with pointy ears. They are dressed in fancy clothing and wear jewelry. Their eyes seem to be slightly glowing as they gaze at the viewer.

Black and white drawings/sketches of various fantasy characters, collected on one page. All of them have dark hair and pointy ears.

A digital illustration, a low angle showing Link and Zelda facing away. Link has his hands on his hips, Zelda is tilting her head looking at a map. In the background is Peach’s Castle, from the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario, in his boxers, is jumping angrily from the castle’s bridge toward Link and Zelda. Peach is on the castle balcony looking shocked with her hand over her mouth.

Digital drawing in dark purple, ochre, and white. A woman’s face with eyes closed floats in outer space surrounded by swirls and planets.

Digital illustration of a man and woman celestial beings. Near the bottom, the man is lifting a pure black orb, somewhat like a black hole, above his head. Above the orb, the woman lifts weightlessly toward a bright galaxy and space dust, her bright hair flowing downward and encircling the black orb.

A digital illustration of banjo-kazooie in a sketchy and rough style.

Hello #PortfolioDay !

I'm Zoe, a fantasy illustrator from Italy, looking for more work on book illustrations, as well as TTRPGs and games!

I'm available for both commercial and private commissions.

Find me here:

We’re in a pleasant forest setting, with lots of greenery and the sun peeking through the canopy. We see tree houses made of natural materials on the trees.
A young, dark skinned elf is running madly towards the camera, laughing. He’s holding a chicken under one arm and a rope strung with strange berries in the other hand. A whole flock of chickens is following him, apparently crazy about the berries.
The chaotic scene is being watched by two shocked bystanders.

A ladybug clad in an armor made of leaves and flower petals stands on a large white flower. They’re wielding magic wands, a spellbook and a shield made out of a seed husk. White war paint adorns their face and shield. They are casting fire spells against a horde of wasps.

Destiny, painted for the 2024 Upper Deck Fleer Ultra Matriarchs of Marvel set.
Portrait view of a figure wearing a mysterious golden mask. She’s wearing a hooded black cloak. In front of her there’s an open book with glowing writing, she’s extending a hand gloved in black fabric towards it and the viewer, as if to read the words. Pages covered in glowing symbols float away from the book around her.

A depiction of the tarot card six of swords. We see a stylized image of a woman rowing on a small boat. There’s a white cat cradled in her lap. The sea behind her is rough, but gets progressively calmer in the direction she’s going. Six smoky hands wielding swords are pursuing her.
The style of the painting mimics a stained glass artwork.

Plants. There's a text that says "There is no need for something to happen"

Plants. There's a veriety of insects hiding in leafs, flying, etc

#PortfolioDay, and with no weird collages this time!

$a heavypaint star wars fanart of luke skywalker and darth vader but i made both of them medieval knights. luke is on his knees in full armor with his face to us, leaning on his sword clutching the handle with his right hand in glove. there’s a green stone under his sword’s guard. he’s mostly hidden in shadow with a white spotlight falling onto half of his face and the upper part of the armor. the iris of the eye on the side of the face that’s hidden in shadow is red. there’s a crack on his breastplate, from his heart up towards his head. darth vader is just a red silhouette behind luke. his helmet is intact, but it’s fractured (it was also really easy to turn it into a medieval one). he’s standing in profile, hands in gloves on the handle of his sword with a red stone under the guard.$

digital drawing of three characters from dishonored games. corvo attano is sitting in an armchair with his daughter emily kaldwin on his knees, both of them sleeping. emily’s dreams are certainly lighter than her father’s, as she is slightly smiling in her sleep. she’s holding samuel’s carved boat in her hands. corvo is definitely tired as heck, as he definitely always is. his head is lowered down and his left hand is almost touching the floor. there are emily’s drawings and an origami steamboat on the floor below them. there’s a coat with a big collar fading down on corvo’s shoulders, and a silhouette of the outsider standing behind the armchair, like a suspicious guardian angel he is.

a digital painting with three characters from kingdom come deliverance games standing one before the other: lady jitka, hans and henry. first comes lady jitka of kunstadt standing with her back to us. she is dressed in a dark reddish dress with white rim that slightly opens her shoulders, and a white waistband. she has black hair and warm skin and looks very delicate. next, standing face to face with her but looking sideways, is hand capon, her almost husband. he’s highest of the three of them, dressed is almost all white, with yellow hues. there’s somewhat lost look on his face. he holds jitka’s right hand in his left one up, but it doesn’t look like he’s doing it willingly. behind him, almost lost to the background and to the figures before him, stands henry. he’s holding his sword in his left hand, wearing a red glove. the blade of the sword stays between hans’ and jitka’s shoulders, not letting them come closer to each other. henry’s face is barely visible behind hans’ shoulder but he’s looking at jitka. not with hate, not with jealousy, more with acceptance and awareness. henry’s holding a wreath full of flowers and a red ribbon in his right hand. hans’ right one, instead of holding jitka’s, has found the wreath without having to look, and his and henry’s finger are
touching. jitka knows. she’s looking down, trying to reach them with her fingers, but alas. that heart is already full.

there are herbs’ silhouettes in the background. according to the list of plants with symbolism on wiki, here’s their meaning. astragalus for hans (your presence softens my pain), heliotrope for henry (emblem of faithfully devoted love), and rue for jitka (regret, sorrow, repentance, grace, clear vision , disdain).

a heavypaint drawing of two figures in red light on a dark background. a girl is floating in the water with her back to us. it looks like she ended up where she is by accident, since she’s dressed up casually and she’s got her school bag with her. the mermaid is swimming up before her, tail is long and patterned. she doesn’t seem to mind the girl being there.
