Hi #PortfolioDay! 🥰
I'm Dijana, a concept artist and illustrator, with traditional and gamedev experience. I love designing and painting characters, illustrations and portraits. I'd love to work on more covers and TTRPG illustrations ✨

📧: dijanadraws@gmail.com
Demon Hunter - illustration The image is a book cover for an upcoming fantasy novella by Daina Rustin. It depicts two main characters facing off a monster in a forest. The main characters - Gray and Adrien - are turned away from us, and facing the monster hidden in the bushes. Gray is a slightly darker skinned mage, with long straight black hair, wearing a light green tunic and brown pants. She's placed in the foreground to the right. She wears a wide belt around her waist, and has one shoulder bag and one smaller bag visible hanging around her waist. She is preparing a fireball in her left hand. Adrien is a knight, and he's placed towards the left of the image. He's pointing his sword at the monster. He's wearing the Ravensguard blue tunic over a chainmail shirt, and brown pants. The monster is in the middle background, it's tall, standing on back legs, black with reddish highlights, red eyes, big beak, and two very long claws in front. Four of Wands - Radiant Fates - Stained Glass Tarot project The illustration depicts the Four of Wands tarot card. The card carries the meanings of family, celebration, home, belonging, etc. The themes of the card are depicted by 4 women sitting on a swing bench together, each holding their own wand pointing upwards. The swing has 4 branches going upwards, arching and connecting in the center, creating a frame around the women and a rosette-style window depicting a castle. The background is a glassy texture with a soft gradient incorporating blues, purples, yellows, oranges and pinks, with a yellow graphical element extending from the castle frame, and stars. The foreground is covered in more flowers in pinks and blues. The image is stylized, with heavy black linework, referencing a stained glass look in theme with the project. Aurelia - character illustration The image shows a stylized character illustration of the main character of Sky Across - Aurelia - on a white background. The character is a female, standing while leaning on a tall regal staff, while dressed in a "ceremonial" outfit for her setting. She’s wearing a stiff pale cream dress with blue decorative linings around the edges, and a v-neck cut, a gold feathery shawl draped over her shoulders, and she has thigh-high blue and orange leather boots with a small heel. She’s wearing gold jewelry, her earrings feature the same blue gemstone as her staff, while the leaf motif repeats between the bits of staff and her necklace pendant. She’s wearing a gold feathery tiara that matches her scarf. Her hair is long and dark red/purple, with a braid coiled around her head behind the tiara. The Witcher, TV show fanart, portrait of Geralt The image depicts a realistic grayscale side profile painting of Henry Cavill in his role of Geralf of Rivia, from season one of the TV show "The Witcher". The portrait is set against an out-of-focus landscape.

Jesus Christ stop worshiping rich people.

Every day we’re handed another example of why they shouldn’t exist, and our answer is to ask them nicely to solve the problems they created and benefit from.

Comfort 💕
Jeon Wonwoo from Seventeen, my comfort zone.
A digital portrait study of Jeon Wonwoo, member of the k-pop group Seventeen. Monochrome (desaturated beige to brown to black) study of a photo, trying to mimic traditional media of pencil and charcoal. He's portrayed from the side, looking at the camera over his shoulder. He's mostly placed in the shadow with a strong rim light (from the window off screen) lining his face. There's a vague depiction of blinds in the background behind him, with light coming from the left, and going further dark towards the right - setting the lighting of the scene and figure.

And what he finds broadly fits the picture that I've seen revealed in my reporting over the last year—"AI" is not broadly replacing jobs across the economy, but bosses and corporations very much are trying to use it to cut what labor costs they can; that means on art, words, and image production.

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened.

So here’s a quick thread to help.

Age of Enlightenment

A lecture on freedom and equality in the 1770s. Here I used sunlight and shadow, as well as animals, to convey additional layers of metaphor. Commissioned for a history textbook.

Client: Noordhoff Uitgevers
Outdoor scene in the summer, in a country garden in the 18th century: Richly dressed, well off people are sitting around a speaker, having tea. They're in the sunlight. There's a small dog with them who's just been released from the leash. They look at the speaker with interest, open to his words. Another group of 2 people is fully shaded by a tree, and their dog is on a leash. They seem very skeptical and unconvinced by what the speaker is talking about.
