A drawing of a red tiefling with wild dark hair carrying a siren boy with teal fins and a long tail over his shoulder. Rocky excitedly says "YOINK!"As the one he's carrying looks surprised and flustered. A drawing of a Siren boy with a gold flash in his hair and teal fins sitting with a red tiefling with mismatched horns and wild hair. They are both laughing and sticking their tongues out to each other.

Your honor... Polycule.

#TheDyemondSuns | #Cyberpunk | #OC
A doodle of four characters lovingly interacting with each other in a polycule. A tall Black woman with red braids gives a kiss on the cheek to a man with a gold cybernetic jaw and split dyed green and black hair. A pale woman dressed in tight black clothing with dark blue hair holds his arm, using her other hand to pet the head of a short woman with blue hair pulled into buns. The woman sits on her stomach, kicking her legs and resting her head on her propped up arms.

Phori's ability to change up his body with cyberware makes him a brilliant impersonator, often standing in for celebrities or performers when the gig's too risky! ⚡

#TheDyemondSuns | #Cyberpunk | #OC
A drawing of a man with long split dyed green and black hair rehearsing a dance while wearing green and gold workout gear. A close up of Phori's faces, with the left being masculine and the right being feminine. Masculine gives Phori a more chiseled jaw and wider shoulders, and his hair is fully down, with the black parts swept around his shoulder. Feminine gives Phori larger eyes, fuller lips and a softer but pointed chin. Her hair is put up into a high ponytail with money pieces in the front.

One of my lovely Patrons used their monthly request to ask for my Inquisitor - so here is Kalak! I haven't drawn him in ages and I've missed him so much!

Hot as a 10 year old laptop running games at 4k
Cheats (he/him) is positioned over Adra (they/them) in a bed. Adra has his sweater pushed up and has their hands on his chest. In the background is a very overbearing WHIRRRRR indicating loud cooling fan noises from Cheats. Adra: Cheats...You're... so hot. Cheats: Hah... Not as hot as you. A tighter shot. The WHIRRING is getting more overbearing. Adra: No, like, REALLY hot. To the touch. Are you okay? Cheats: ...... Caption: -overheating computer noises- Cheats is seated on the edge of the bed, his head in his hands, his shirt off so that Adra can access his coolant reservoir. They have a tube and a funnel draining into fresh liquid coolant into it as they pat him gently on the shoulder. Caption (pointing at Cheats): Had to stop so Adra could refill his liquid coolant. Cheats: GROOAAAAANN.

I'm Jay, and I'm a Wet'suwet'en freelance artist who makes formline art. I'm currently without a day job, so if anyone's interested in personal/commercial use formline commissions.. check me out :>

A formline design of a crocodilian monster. Their body loops around the drawing area. Their scale colouring ranges from dark brick red, light brick red, to pale pink. They have a fluffy, orange mane on their neck. A semi-rendered illustration of formline wolves running across a foggy, snowy lake, with hills and mountains in the distance. An above view illustration of a formline river otter swimming in a river, with leaves drifting around it. A picture of an assortment of animal stickers spread out and laying on top of each other. All of them are formline designs, and show the following: a blue and cream-coloured chickadee, a yellow and blue-teal harbour seal, a maroon and orange capybara, a light green and dark blue otter head, and a bright red and dark red hyena.

Hey-hey #PortfolioDay!🌟

I'm Cardi, a queer fulltime freelance 2D artist from Ukraine!
I love funky shapes, fun character designs & framed backgrounds!
Commissions are my main line of work but I'm also developing a personal project called Don't Cry Mercy.

📧cardinalgraycommissions@gmail.com
a personal b/w sketch with a splash of red as an accent color depicting my OC Nico with a collar around his neck, a chain connected to it. said chain is breaking at the links near the collar, as Nico snaps back with a rightful anger at someone or something. this is a symbolic piece showing Nico's rebellious, punk-y nature, as he is quite literally breaking the chain that holds him down, sticking it to the man. a tarot-like card of my OC Nico in the Dragon Age AU (inspired by Dragon Age Inquisition cards) he's a qunari mage with one horn missing he's dressed in a practical mage robe, on his right shoulder is a fluffy fur piece for warm weather his arms are in a holding motion, there's liquid, the same color as his tears, running through his fingers, there's a heart between his hands with tear motifs coming down from it a few geometric shapes frame Nico's body - a circle around the heart and a rhombus stretching from waist up to his head his eyes are scratched out with red lines so you can't see his eyes, there are also 5 wavy daggers positioned away from his head and they are the same red shade as the red lines mentioned prior an illustration commission of Tidus from FFX with Soulbinder's mask on. Tidus' body is more of a doll, having these ball joints that connect his limbs. There is a white mask on his face, it bears some purple markings around the eyes and mouth - the overall style is akin to that of traditional japanese masks depicting kitsune faces. "Tidus" is depicted in a dynamic pose as if he's mid-jump, both legs bent at the knee in a coiled/springy motion, one hand free and away from the body while the other one is holding a sword. Said sword has some accessories on it like some red fabric tied around the pommel end and a woven string with a sharp gem. an illustration of my OC Niners against the orange summer sky with some light clouds. Niners is standing in a relaxed pose, open shirt swaying in the wind, looking back at Nico "off-screen" (since he called out to Niners). There's a blue flower in Niners' left hand, one single petal falling off and drifting downwards. He's dressed in a white shirt and sandy/beige-colored pants (shoes aren't visible but they're there, he's classy shoes made out of thin leather so that it's not toasty to wear them in summer). Niners' gaze is very gentle and attentive, his focus drawn to his human partner. There's a flock of birds flying, slightly further in the distance, towards the outside of the frame. The starting point of the flock is close to Niners as it's meant to symbolize freedom.

Even as 2026 seems to be relentless, #Portfolioday persists. A day able to cut through the anxiety fueling noise of turmoil and have you go “oh, look at all this rad art on here”… My name is Jason, I love drawing weird little creeps doing adventures. Looking for illustration and comic work this year
