Hey #Portfolioday ! I'm Leo, digital artist from Finland painting fantasy art with a darker mood :)
I'm currently unemployed and looking for art jobs! I have 10 years experience in Film VFX as a compositor and I've done bunch of album art on the side for private clients.

Work in progress of reference for Fairy paintings I'm going to make. Trying to figure out in 3D how would my glowing fae work. Can't really slap a emission shader and call it a day as then you lose all form and everything looks really flat. Tricky problem!

Streams been off for longer than usual!
Been dealing with paperwork and working on a video for an old friend for their upcoming cosplay show.
Hopefully I'll be able to continue art streams normally starting tomorrow!

Here’s @realgdt.bsky.social in NYC expanding on his rallying cry of ‘fuck AI!’, talking about how art and even love come from shared pain and movies can save your life. This shit made me and others in the audience cry as much as his version of Frankenstein…

First digital art vs. latest!
Not the best comparison but you can definitely see the mileage :D
The old one is from around... 2007 or something like that?

I drew a thing.
In a sort of "what if" scenario of @lucieth.bsky.social and my worldbuilding, Gaea (this character) twists into a corrupted being, sullying the source of life of their people instead of protecting it.

Here's all 31 from my "Sketchtober" challenge!
I used a prompt for that day from any list I could find that sparked an image in my mind. That way I didn't need to force it so much and be more relaxed about the challenge :)
I also added "best of" to my AS portfolio www.artstation.com/artwork/oJVrak
