Hello #PortfolioDay! (tarot version)

I'm Everton Zomer, also known as Veto. I'm a fantasy illustrator for TTRPGs/TCGs and currently the Art Director for an upcoming TTRPG based on Brazilian folklore.

I love a good storytelling, nature, and tarot cards 🃏.

A woman in dark leather armor with rivets and straps looms over her victim in a dimly lit stone hall. She grips a bloodied dagger in one hand and holds her opponent’s hair with the other, forcing their head down. Her face is streaked with blood, and she smiles with a cruel, triumphant expression. Behind her, cloaked figures stand in shadow, while the setting sun glows red through an archway, casting an ominous light. At the bottom, golden letters frame the title: “The Dagger.”

A wealthy man sits on a grand throne in a dark, decaying banquet hall, dressed in rich robes with a red cloak and fur collar. He gazes forward with a cold, disdainful expression, surrounded by a feast of rotting food and dusty gold coins. Cobwebs stretch across the platters of moldy meat, spoiled fruit, and untouched pies. The once-opulent room is now filled with shadows and neglect, emphasizing themes of greed, waste, and isolation.

A mystical figure with dark, cracked stone-like skin and glowing golden veins dances barefoot atop sunlit desert dunes. They wear white flowing pants and a red sash, their elegant form wrapped in a swirling veil of sand that billows like a cloak. The scarf they hold aloft is etched with celestial symbols, glowing softly in the sunlight. In the hazy background, ancient sandstone buildings emerge from the dust as the sun rises, casting a radiant glow across the scene. The mood is serene and powerful, evoking timelessness and elemental grace.

A tarot card titled "The Warden" featuring a determined female adventurer crouching atop a hill, illuminated by a large full moon behind her. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, a red cape, and armor, with an array of daggers and tools strapped to her belt. In her hands, she holds two gleaming short swords, ready for action. The background is a dramatic night sky with scattered clouds, framing her silhouette against the moonlight. The scene conveys vigilance, readiness, and protection, emphasized by the golden frame of the card.

Oh, thank you very much!
I think it's my favorite too. Not because of the painting technique, but because of the concept of the sandstorm fabric. I remember when I had that idea, I instantly thought, "This is going to look cool."

Hello #PortfolioDay !

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

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.

Evithorir, painted for Critical Role by Zoe Badini.

Evithorir is described as an elven figure perpetually shrouded in shadows. Its face is pale gray, its skin is pulled tight against bone. Its teeth are crooked and elongated and its eyes glow.

In this scene it stands in front of a large glowing green crystal pillar, surrounded by black and greenish flames. Its body flows and disappears into the shadows. Its hands are lifted at its sides, casting more dark shadows.
Hidden and trapped inside its chest we can glimpse a reddish emaciated figure.

Scream, painted for the 2024 Upper Deck Fleer Ultra Matriarchs of Marvel set.
A monstrous, tentacled figure emerges from the mist. She has large milky eyes, a wide mouth full of sharp teeth and a long extended tongue.

This was actually the last of the 3 pieces I painted for the TMNT set for which I was VERY happy to contribute to

Donny wasn't one of my favs until now - his single-minded dedication to toiling away in a cluttered space hit pretty close to home

My first digital piece for MtG, ever. I'm crushed I wasn't able to put my full artistic weight behind this piece, but TNMT meant way too much to me as a kid to sit this one out. I begged my way into this set and they gave me Raph!

The Hades franchise has been everything I could’ve wished for since 2020.

I always wanted to thank Supergiant Games with a fanart, but I was always short on… time?

Maybe now, time won’t be such a troublesome thing for me anymore.
