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.

The year didn't quite go as planned. Having been laid off from VFX as the company went under I took it as a sign to fully focus in art and illustration.
No luck getting commissions or job yet but been having good feedback nonetheless.
Hoping for more success in 2026!

2025 was a year where I wanted to do more full illustrations, did not draw everything I had planned. But hopefully I make the time in 2026.

I painted and drew so much more again this year. It was good, even if not everything I wanted to finish has been finished. I had so much fun and I have many more ideas. On to a new year of more art!

Happy Christmas all ! Full disclosure, the reindeer was drawn referencing a plush I have. It's cute, so why not.
Anyway, even if you don't celebrate Christmas I hope you are having a great day.

Painted a portrait of my Final Fantasy 14 character :)
Haven't been playing much though, haha.
Would love to paint others characters as well. There's some cool designs in this game!

Another semi-daily warm up study.
This was tough for some reason!
Trying to simplify more and more, keep brush strokes minimal and expressiveness / painterly-ness high.
How do you guys like this?

Pic 1 - the very first concept I sent @kortizart.bsky.social for the cover to my novel Blood Hunt. Pic 2 - the final cover. Trust me: your artists WILL figure out what you're looking for w/o you using GenAI to show them.
