I see it is #portfolioday and I need a new pinned post!



Hello, I am Dread! I primarily do art as a hobby but have done some freelance petsite work as well. 



Nowadays I tend focus mostly on DND and fantasy, but you may occasionally find some paleoart when the mood hits!

A colored image of 3 women standing on a glowing pink and blue magic circle. The woman on viewer left is a water elf with dark blue skin, a black robe with seaglass embellishments, and waves for hair. She is leaping back while holding a halberd. The woman in the middle is an elf with midtone skin, wearing a large ruffled green skirt and a silver chain shirt. She holds two swords, a plain rapier and the other a glowing magic sword. She is stepping back, wears a veil that partially reveals her face to have pupilless golden eyes and yellow curled antennae. The woman on viewer right is a tall and muscular fighter wielding a large back sword. She has midtone skin and dark, long curly hair. Her armor is worn. All three figures are being attacked by magic chains, and underlit by blues and pinks. In the background a man kneels as if in prayer with his own set of chains reaching for him, while a dark magic doorway opens behind him. A colored illustration based on the painting la belle dame sans merci by Francis Dicksee. A dark skinned princess with crystalline hair sits atop a purple pegasus with two unicorn horns. The pegasus is decorated with roses, while the princess reaches down to a female knight who looks up to her with awe.The knight wears blue and gold armor, and they all walk through a field of flowers. A colored image of a grey bearded dragon with a hoard of gold and treasure. He has a pleased expression and holds a staff. He is seen within a gold frame with jewel decorations. An image for 4 skeletal fantasy creatures with flame, volcanic and crystal accents. The creatures represented are based on a deer, a large cat, a winged rabbit and a beaver/capybara. There is a label for the petsite Tattered World in the lower right corner.

Last DnD session ended on a cliffhanger- all the party members with missing memories from fairy had them rushing back as they awoke. Neera has been missing all memories and connection with her family- safe to say she's a little overwhelmed at the moment.
A colored illustration of a female elf with midtone skintone, yellow antennae, amber eyes and a simple tank and pants outfit sitting with her arms wrapped around her, crying. Surrounding her are images in hexagon shapes of a younger version of the elf with her mother and father throughout her life- some happy, some sad. In the middle is a quote- 'You have parents. They are not perfect, nor without fault. But whatever their flaws, you'd forgotten their existence... and all of that love and connection now comes swirling back."

Art Summary time! Really proud of some of these pieces, particularly of the celariel/dread piece, as I don't often do painterly and that really pushed my rendering, and August's scene.
A summary of multiple illustrations, highlighting a different piece each month of the year as well as one selected 'masterpiece' for the year.

It's the #planetouchedsecretsatan2025, and I had the pleasure of drawing Valentine for Ezurael on ToyHouse this time around! Their monk style goes crazy and I had so much fun painting some fire for them~ 🔥❤

#art #oc #ocsky #ttrpg #fantasy #elf #aasimar
Backlit by a ring of fire whose flames trail out of frame, an elven monk with a slender and muscular figure smiles as they flex and their golden eyes flash. Their skin is a deep ochre color, their dark brown hair falls in a braid past their waist, and their red vest top is contrasted by a pair of shining bronze goggle and a prosthetic left arm that has spines like a dragon's wings. The goggles and the prosthetics vents glow brightly like the fire.

Sometimes you see an hsm promo photo shared around tumblr and you have a need to draw an OT3- my character Neera in the middle, with Sierra (NPC) and Rus (Another player's character). Not sure if this will happen in game, but I can hope lol.
A colored illustration of three figures cuddeled together- the middle figure is Neera, an elf with amber eyes, curled antennae, short brown hair, star-shaped scars along her left arm and blue and gold robes. She looks up at Sierra, a buff human woman with dark skin, dark black hair in a ponytail, and weathered armor, who reaches out a hand towards Neera to touch her face. To Neera's right is Rus, who looks up at Neera, has pale skin, white hair, gray fox ears and black and blue armor.

Drawing of Rumi and Mira from KPop Demon Hunters. Rumi is standing over/behind Mira protectively, patterns glowing magenta, and spectral horns appearing on her forehead. She is yelling, "BACK OFF" while they are surrounded by demons. Meanwhile, a bewildered Mira is looking at her from the floor, bleeding from the forehead.

Half elven character, Oriana, sits with wings framing around her. A glove hand is to her cheek and her other, prosthetic arm with panteras draw. A pseudo-dragon sits in the palm of this hand, looking impish. A starry sky sits behind our fave barbarian princess.

It's #faeandelvensecretsatan2025 time! I snagged @eerivee.bsky.social which means Ariste is not safe from me. Art upon ye and your drow!
Full body illustration depicting a male drow sitting on a stone bench covered in moss and glowing mushrooms. He has his white hair pulled into a messy ponytail with with wavy bangs, fly aways, and braids framing his face. His spectral hand is strumming the strings of a lyre while the other holds it steady in his lap. A fountain is pouring water down behind him in various streams with a little pseudo dragon napping up above. The rest of the background is comprised of various white flowers, mushrooms, and large flora leaves. A few fairy motes hang by his head to help illuminate his face.
