It's #PortfolioDay! 💖

I'm Andariya (or Lena), a self-taught digital artist from Germany. I plan on making my own manga one day, which I'm currently writing the script for (slowly but surely)
You'll catch me drawing my OCs and occasionally some fanart. I also love dramatic lighting ✨

🔗 andariya.art

My OC Aiden is sitting on the floor by a large window. He has his right hand propped up on his right knee, holding a handgun; the other leg is outstretched, and the left arm hangs loosely over it. He is looking out of the rain-covered and slightly fogged-up window. In the background, you can see multiple brightly lit red and cyan neon signs, both in Japanese and Latin letters. They illuminate the back of Aiden, forming a rim light around his silhouette.

An illustration of a ash-blonde kitsune man with yellow-gold eyes and an X-shaped scar on his neck. He is looking at the viewer in a smug way. He is smiling widely, while his head is propped up on his right fist and leaning back a bit. In his left hand, he is holding two hanafuda cards which form a scoring hand that he smugly presents.
He is wearing black half-gloves on both hands, his red/gold kimono only on his right shoulder while the other, as well as his chest is covered in bandages. His right arm is decorated with a spider lily tattoo. The whole illustration has a strong illumination, accentuating the character.

An illustration of Acheron from Honkai: Star Rail. A character with long, flowing blue-purple hair, holding a sheathed katana-like sword that emits lightning. The character is shown from the back, wearing a flowing kimono-like garment that reveals snake tattoos along the back and arms. The background features a blend of dark and light tones, with soft glowing particles.

An illustration of Arlecchino from Genshin Impact. She is smiling evilly while covering her face with one of her hands. The still visible eye shows a glowing X mark. Her face is half in shadow, enhancing the glow effect.

silly side doodle that didn’t quite fully fit 😔 #oc

Two of my old man OCs — Tatsuya and (unnamed) — as chibis. There is a label above them that says “brothers” and it points to the both of them, indicating that they are, indeed, brothers.

My dear Tanyat almost fled being a furry, but then he failed and went back to being a cat lol
The fun fact about him is the fact that even tho he is a cat, his surname means "bear", the animal he sees himself as is an anglerfish, while his fav animal are lizards

Hey, I'm Fish! I'm a multimedia artist that works with ink, watercolor, and digital. I'm working on a webcomic called Best Savored After Dark.

Since he's in the post I'll introduce Diah. He's a researcher with the Agency of Nonhuman Affairs. Silly fun facts in the alt text ✨

A digital drawing of my OC Diah; it is the same drawing as described in the main post but it is zoomed out.

Silly fun facts...
-His cane head changes every day and can dispense hard candies like a PEZ dispenser. Just for the bit.
-He doesn't wear socks. I hold this against him (even though I made him).
-He's an original species and ~340 yrs old, about ~56 y.o. equivalent
-He likes to collect and pin insects
-He's gender fluid and goes by he/him primarily, but also uses she/her and xe/xem at various points in BSAD

#21 Sacrificial

I had no idea what to draw, so I made a quick master study o/.
The original artwork "The Sacrificial Lamb" belongs to Josefa de Ayala/Josefa de Óbidos, a Portuguese painter.

Yeah... I have really not been drawing digitally for all that long 😆 I downloaded ibis paint on my tablet and then bought a tablet screen about a year later.
Counting my photo editing years I've also used: Gimp, Photoshop 5 and Affinity

FYI‼️
Since I've seen it happen multiple times now: there are new scammers who copy artist's profiles and DM mutuals/followers of that artist and try to sell them something.

I would NEVER DM you first asking if you'd want a commission! No reputable artist would message you first!!

Stay vigilant!

Tommy with a ponytail is my fav because I imagine it falling lower and lower throughout the day because he has no time to fix it in-between being a full-time big brother and looking after his siblings and running the household 🥹

Aiden's parents - Trinity and Kieran Cypherwell 💰
I finished the doodle!
#doodle #OC #OCsky #art

A roughly colored doodle of my OC Aiden's parents. Shown is a woman with long, wavy black hair that had a red fade, red eyes, and a red and white outfit. She is wearing a lot of jewelry and makeup.
Next to her is a man with medium brown hair and green eyes. He is wearing glasses (smart glasses - accessory, he has perfect vision and doesn't need them to see.) He is wearing a dark gray turtleneck and light blue suit jacket with pinstripes and gold buttons. Around his neck, he wears a golden necklace. 🎨

ROGUE Magazine
Issue N°10 - October 2174
ft. Aiden Cypherwell

✨ For the #SuitYourselfCollab
(Please check the entries by others in the comments/tag)
#OC #OCsky #art

An artwork made to look like a magazine cover. It is titled ROGUE and it's the magazine for "October 2174"
It features my OC Aiden in a grey suit, a red tie, and an open white button-down. He is sitting in a red armchair in front of a light grey background, holding a cigarette in his right hand loosely while pulling on his tie. He is gazing off to the side, away from the viewer.

The headlines read: "Like a phoenix from the ashes, Aiden Cypherwell, an exclusive insight into his education, career, and love life."
"The season of self-enhancement. Five invisible augmentations you shouldn't miss out on this fall!"
"The human touch. Traditionally designed couture is making a comeback! Get exclusive tips by our Al stylists." (SIDENOTE: the artist - aka. me, Andariya, distances herself from this - screw Al. My story is just set in a dystopian cyberpunk future, and this is a wink towards that 🙂‍↕️)

Successfully sat in front of my blank canvas yesterday without drawing anything of substance.
I have an idea for a fall pic with Kaeko on my mind but Aiden keeps pushing himself back to the front again... He haunts me 😮‍💨😂
