Hej #portfolioday!👋
I'm a freelancing artist with a biology degree working in games.
I do #paleoart, #gameart, #conceptart, and I specialize in creature design.

My stylized illustration is shown below while you can contact me & see more of my work here: twarda-arts.carrd.co

Thanks for looking!

I'm a Pole, and let me tell you that my Polish tongue is armed with cynism, irony, and sarcasm; as such it's getting harder to apply my cultural norms to the western norms when seeing what's happening around the world and in the industry.

I bite my tongue way more often than I should, perhaps...

Shitpos sketch:

A crude black and white sketch in which a pipe is pouring poopy water into a stream, polluting the stream. Some bones are sinking in it now. The pipe is labelled AI slop. The stream is labelled Internet.

Cancelled mine after hearing the first AI accusations. Seeing this, I'm very glad I did so.

I own my CDs and casettes and I still can play them, heck even my decades old YT playlist is still working. I don't need their stupid algo, adverts, and AI interrupting my listening.

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

Hey #PortfolioDay! Nice to see you again. My name is Aimee, and I'm a dark-beautiful #DarkArt freelance #illustrator. My current wishlist for projects is: 📚 Book covers and 🃏Trading/Playing card games, but I'm open to anything!

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.

A man curled over onto his elbows, his head in his hands, amidst green leaves. A glowing, luminous dagger dangles above his neck and spine. His hands are cupped and outstretched towards the sky. Luminous liquid slips through his fingers.

A small child holding a bunny rabbit stuffed animal standing in front of a line of darkened forest. Inside the forest are lots of glowing sets of eyes

An oil painting of a foggy, monochrome forest with a singular man with glowing eyes standing in front of it. Before him are multiple shadows of wolves, their eyes glowing in the darkness as well.
