She wears a soft green blue tunic that ties as her waist and falls to her ankles. it shows off much of her skin. Transparent liquid speckled with stars pours from the vase.

had abt 40 min before i had to leave for work and decided to experiment with my copics — been wanting to try some lineless marker art for a while now and excited to keep playing!!
photo of a copic marker drawing of a woman looking at the camera, her hand holding back some of her long red-orange hair and her other hand’s thumb resting by her lip. only the skin and hair is colored in, the rest of the page is white. photo of a copic marker drawing of a woman looking at the camera, her hand holding back some of her long red-orange hair and her other hand’s thumb resting by her lip. only the skin and hair is colored in, the rest of the page is white.

Digital painting of a woman standing with her back to us, though we can see her face looking up in profile. Her right arm is bent and reaching up towards a glowing star. She has navy blue curls and wears a backless dress that matches in color. A vivid blue, sparkling strip of fabric is wound around her arms and draped across her back. The sky is cloudy and a greyish-purple.

A woman stands barefoot among trees set aflame. Her golden curls are wild and windswept, a strand passing across her face. She wears a golden corset and skirt which billows at her ankles. The fire behind her illuminates her. Painting of a woman with pale skin sitting in the sea on a rock formation. She has pointed elven ears. Her long blue hair cascades in waves down her back. Her soft purple gown shows off her figure and falls like water. A moon hangs behind her like a halo. She has stretchmarks on her thighs.

I'm V, a lesbian illustrator from 🇧🇷 that loves to draw OCs of all shapes and sizes! Doing art full time is my dream, and I'm fighting to achieve that from ground 0 by the next year! 😊

A main character lineup of 9 different OCs (Original Characters), sporting an assortment of personalities, outfits and heights. Their names are shown under each character, listing: Toshiko, King, Dae-Hyun, Kane, Sunshine, Colin, Ambrose, Shun and Qellen. An art piece of a character sheet of my OC Sunshine. She is a sweet looking albino, chinese, plus sized woman that wears bright colored pink, blue and yellow clothing. She has a yellow gold pendant in the shape of a sun around her neck. A family picture featuring my OCs TK, King and King's daughter Miyako. They are crouched in the middle of a busy living room with autumn leaves peeking in from the window. King holds Miyako tightly and smushes her face against the child, while TK rests a hand on King's back. An eerie picture of an Original Character, running amidst a dark hallway getting chased by a scary figure that grabs her shoulder from one side, but peeks over the other. The character looks towards the hand's side, carrying a flickering flashlight that reflects off the wall back onto her.

It's #PortfolioDay!

I make fantasy & sci-fi illustration, all digital. Lots of it involves dragons, and most of it is creature concept art.

#DragonArt #Art #FantasyArt #CreatureArt #ConceptArt
Creature Concept: The Executrix (Gorgon-Lamia Gynoid) A thin, robotic woman with a giant khopesh in one hand and a smoking rocket launcher in the other slithers in front of a black background on her snake-like lower body of metal plates. Her mouth is open in a scream, and black oil is sloshing out of it while neon magenta flames streak from her eyes, which are weeping tears of similar oil. Her entire head is medusa-like, and her scalp is ringed by mechanical snakes whose heads all point in the direction her khopesh is raised. Their mouths are opened to reveal firing gun barrels mounted in their throats. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social. [#Art #DigitalArt #Scifi #ScienceFiction #ScifiArt #ConceptArt #Creature #Robot #Mecha #MechaArt #CreatureDesign #Monster] Creature Concept: Northern Dragon A white dragon sits up on a snowy tundra plain. Black rocks litter the ground, and grey clouds cover the skies, which are grey with blizzard clouds. Beneath the dragon's front claw is a human skull. The dragon has folded pterodactyl-like wings with hairy claws for fingers. Its back legs are also fluffy, and look much like the talons of a snowy owl. 3 horns grow from the dragon's head; 2 short ones from the back, and 1 longer, forked one from the center. The tail ends in a triangular barb made from the same material as the horns, and sensory bristles stick out from the length of the tail like whiskers. Similar whiskers, only shorter, are found on the cheeks and the tips of the ears. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social. Creature Concept: Northern Dragon A white dragon sits up on a snowy tundra plain.

It stands on a bluish mirror-like surface that is lit up with streaks of blue light. Its wings are a purplish tag color, and huge compared with the rest of its body. Its tail is also elongate, and is patterned with rows of spiky barbs that can also be found on its neck. 3 pairs of horns grow from its head, two on the top, and one that curves around like a tusk on the back of its jaw. A short beard of black fur grows from the bottom of its head, longest under the tip of the chin. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

Behind the mountains looms a churning, deep blue stormfront, which is split by a single bolt of lightning that reaches to a nearby floating island, and from there to the nearest peak. Dust blows violently across the landscape in front of the storm, and in the foreground, two dragonfly-like mechs perch on some eroded rock formations. They have scrap solar panels for wings, and twin cockpits for eyes. Two characters stand on top of the nearest mech; one sitting upon the wing rotator joint, and the other looking towards the storm through a pair of binoculars. In the further mech, the pilots remain in the eyeball cockpits. One appears to be viewing a holographic display within the glass, and the other is looking over his shoulder, eyes shaded, at the storm. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

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 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. TEXT: Pistolheart, A Western Campaign supplement for Daggerheart by Carlos Cisco A train with a big green crystal in the front is coming toward the viewer while two gunslingers, one a fungril and the other a clank, leap from their mounts (a roadrunner and a robot horse) onto the train. Bandits on top of the train fire at them with guns. Two spot illustrations side by side... A group of four Wild West bandits, "Black Hats". Left to right: A Baboon-based Simiah in a decorated military uniform, looking down the barrel of a sniper rifle. An androgynous Drakona, wearing a long black leather duster, holding two pistols across their chest. A Tricloptic Giant in tattered miners clothing, holding an unloaded shotgun in one hand and tossing two cartridges up in the air with the other. A gaunt human woman wearing a hiked up dress and ragged black straw hat. In one hand she aim's a pistol at the view, in the other she grips a small gardening rake. Text: Pistolheart A Western Campaign Supplement for Daggerheart by Carlos Cisco A crimson-skinned Inferni woman riding a dire javelina steed. She wears a black hat and leather chaps, a lasso draped around chest. With one hand she holds the reins, with the other she aims a revolver.

Mwindaji, Remnant Leader Image of Mwindaji, a named Remnant (a type of living weapon in Ha-Nahn that is formed when a weapon absorbs so much hatred and malice from its owner that it tries to keep on fighting even after that person dies) stalking forward through an eerie yellow orange night with a full moon. She wears a purple torn and tattered garment with great blades for her arms and a masked, eyeless face. She leads a small troop of others behind her as though prepared to destroy an unsuspecting village. Her body is full of indications of damage from previous battles and yet she still exists. Ayrmael, God of Creation A digital illustration of a massive divine dragon with purple and gold coloration. The massive beast flies over a mountain city with floating islands all around. As it turns in the sky its wings trail through clouds. The creature has a thick almost gorilla like body and stripes like a tiger but made of something like gold that seems to flow beneath its skin. High Priestess Tarot Card An image of a woman in a blue dress seated upon a throne with moon symbols on it looking down imperiously. She is surrounded by stones, gnarled trees and a stone circle behind her head. Her hair moves as though it's being blown by a strong wind or moved by ocean currents. Her dress flows into a waterfall that turns into a pool that flows into the foreground. All Aboard A trio of characters seen on the deck of an airship. A woman in white with a black belt and reddish black undergarments stands with a boat oar over her shoulder, a compass in hand and looking to the left, her black/blue/purple hair blowing in the breeze. A buff man in a gray shirt and dark pants sits crouched on a clearly unsafe back part of the ship with a rake as a weapon. A woman stands on the back part of the ship under the mast and magical sail in a patchwork outfit with broken chains dangling from her wrist. Blue glowing crystals can be seen keeping the ship aloft.

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. Drawing of R. Daneel Olivaw, cut in half down the center, revealing cybernetics on the right side. He is holding his hands out and standing like an Alex Grey Chapel of Sacred Mirrors artwork, the background radiating gold from his head. 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. Ten winged people in a baroque style drawing. There is one man in the middle with long dark hair grabbing another by his scalp and punching him in the side of the head, while the rest try to pry him off. Feathers and wings are flying everywhere.

Digital painting of an ethereal elven character. She has warm Black skin and stares at the viewer with pink eyes. Her curly hair is white, pulled back and cascading down her back. She wears a soft ballet pink dress with a sparkling corset style bodice + tulle skirt. The sky around her takes on the pinks and purples and oranges of dusk, twilight, and a thin crescent moon and twinkling stars frame her. Digital painting of a woman standing with her leg extended and holding a vase. She has thick arms and thighs and soft skin speckled with cellulite. Her auburn hair curls and falls down her back. She wears a soft green blue tunic that ties as her waist and falls to her ankles. it shows off much of her skin. Transparent liquid speckled with stars pours from the vase. Stars seem to fall up and around. She stands atop the starry water, seeming to float. A crescent moon frames her profile. A digital painting of two characters kissing in front of a pinky-yellow background. The man has curly brown hair and tan skin. He wears an ivory, tie-front historical-esque shirt. The woman has pale skin and long, flowing red hair that curls and fans out behind her, filling the composition. She wears a Renaissance-style gown in forest green with gold detailing and billowing, see-thru cream sleeves. A swirl of orange petals surround them. Scene in a library with three ravens flying overhead as a man in a half-mask and dark robe and a woman with flowing black hair wearing a blue draped dress are caught in a passionate moment.
