Hey #Portfolioday! I'm Marco González, freelance artist and art instructor working on TCG, TTRPG, videogames and book publishing, among others. I love creating worlds and bringing fantasy to life.

A ghostly white head with long hair and a circlet is trapped in a glass jar with a metal, spiky lid tied with chains. The head is screaming with its mouth open wide, while a purple ooze flows from it. The jar is on top of an altar of sorts with runic inscriptions on the steps leading to it. Behind it, a huge, dark creature with long extremities looms over the scene, with its hands surrounding the jar. A red-haired dwarf with an eye patch, a mohawk and a manica and a Huge, muscular, long-haired character at a bar share a table, some drinks while playing and/or gambling. The dwarf has just leapt onto the table holding a massive axe and threatening to severe his opponent's hand, while the other begs him not to. In the background, a lively crowd cheers and laughs while watching the scene. The focus of the illustration is massive cocoon-like formation made of gnarled branching shapes with a warm, eye-shaped light in the centre. In the foreground, a thick “branch” where a character is standing goes towards the background. The atmosphere is mostly blue and hazy, with some warm light particles floating around. A horned and almost entirely covered creature stands in the middle of the picture. Frayed layers flow around its body, kind of disintegrating as they move. A dark face with bright eyes is barely visible. Behind it, we see a stony and almost organic setting in mostly cool colours. In the bottom of the frame, we see a small character looking at the giant creature, standing on an organic-looking pathway.

Thanks for hosting, Davis!

I'm Michelle, and I paint TTRPG/ Fantasy!
Two spot illustrations side by side... A group of four Wild West bandits, "Black Hats". Left to right: A Baboon-based Simiah in a decorated military uniform, looking down the barrel of a sniper rifle. An androgynous Drakona, wearing a long black leather duster, holding two pistols across their chest. A Tricloptic Giant in tattered miners clothing, holding an unloaded shotgun in one hand and tossing two cartridges up in the air with the other. A gaunt human woman wearing a hiked up dress and ragged black straw hat. In one hand she aim's a pistol at the view, in the other she grips a small gardening rake. Text: Pistolheart A Western Campaign Supplement for Daggerheart by Carlos Cisco A crimson-skinned Inferni woman riding a dire javelina steed. She wears a black hat and leather chaps, a lasso draped around chest. With one hand she holds the reins, with the other she aims a revolver. Text: Pistolheart A Western Campaign Supplement for Daggerheart by Carlos Cisco My OC Eunice, riding her Palomino draft horse, Corn Puddin', in full adamantine plate armor (with cowboy-flavored kettle hat helm), with her Great Sword held high. She has a big smile on her face. The background is a simple center stripe of pink that fades away behind the horse. Text: "Chargin' Into The Year Of The Horse" TEXT: Pistolheart, A Western Campaign supplement for Daggerheart by Carlos Cisco A train with a big green crystal in the front is coming toward the viewer while two gunslingers, one a fungril and the other a clank, leap from their mounts (a roadrunner and a robot horse) onto the train. Bandits on top of the train fire at them with guns. A cleric astride a flying broom raises a glowing sword above a battle field. Golden, rays of bright light stream out from the sword. Her party members and herself are wrapped in golden glowing flowers and vines. They stare up at her in awe. The party members, counter clockwise from the top left are: A dwarven artificer wearing jeweltones and riding a magic carpet, the cleric wearing a gold breastplate and blue robes; a giant fighter in full adamantine plate and a dragon helm; a half-drow Psi-fighter in blues and purples, floating mid-air and holding her crossbow; and a tiefling ranger, arms stretched out in joy and relief. Behind the party members is a truly gargantuan giant, you can see him only up to his knees. He wears silver greaves and you can catch a glimpse of his great axe. Ruins of a city are in the distant background.

I realised that I haven't posted the cover I designed for leebooksverlag ' epic novel, Ein Herz aus Lehm und Glas, by Sarah Skitschak.
It's an epic story filled with intriguing, deep storytelling and heart-shattering schemes.

Here's another Oda Nobunaga piece for Time Rift (@triviumstudios.bsky.social). Had a blast with this one, as challenging as it was while working on the armour especially.
Oda Nobunaga is seen in full armour except for the helmet, slashing forward with his katana amidst unruly flames that match his fury, tenacity and will.

“Of One Mysterious Household.”

My addition to the Godlings exhibit. Truly an honor to have my work alongside so many incredible pieces from such wonderful people ♥️
Witty’s piece depicting a scene of a vivisection ram holding a baby and presenting it to a nude, pregnant, skull headed woman. Another angle of the aforementioned piece

Adobe is not really in the creative software business anymore. They are in the digital wealth extraction business. I wish more comics publishers would prioritize moving away from Adobe.

Adobe announced it's killing off Animate (formerly Flash), abandoning millions of artists who depend on the software while continuing its push into AI-heavy toolsets.

a handmade marionette monster photographed in front of a snowbank. it has long arms with branch-like hands, a long neck with a false human face & a lower jaw like a sperm whale, & is dressed in all white/off-white lace & rags with pearl accents. watermark says "Ezra Rose" a close up of the face of the marionette with its open jaw & teeth visible below.

Show me how you draw armour ⚔️🛡️
Tameshi gusoku, a Japanese bulletproof armour. The armour itself is shown in a sitting position with its hands on its lap. It's resting against a wooden wall, with a red Oda Mokkō behind its head, rows of tanegashima (matchlock firearms) to its side, and a Noh mask hanging in the top left corner.

I randomly checked this, and for some reason it feels very fitting. Anyway, here's a snippet of something I've been working on and off on.
Fragment of a page mockup, showing a low poly, low res 3D character in a T-pose on a faded background, as well as her 3/4 portrait, with 'lorem ipsum' placeholder text underneath.

Hey friends,
Today we're starting our next Tarot/Oracle-like card for subscribers!
It's also the very last day to get one in before we stop adding new ones to the deck.

See you on twitch in 10 mins!
twitch.tv/carsondrewit

Here's some previous ones I'm pretty proud of:
A digital illustration of a decaying/zombified mermaid holding up a crown. They have fish swimming around and through their abdominal cavity. There are chests, bejewelled goblets, and mounds of coins below them. A digital illustration of a large statue made of husks of people, a large crucible filled with a liquid is being poured out of it into a large ingot mould. Surrounding the mould are forge workshop tools. A digital illustration of a goose with an axe and some carpentry tools, also a croissant. They're posing in front of a log cabin in the woods. A digital illustration of a Warhammer Squig with a Grot on its back leaping into the sky above a bed of mushrooms. Above it, the Bad Moon - a glowing crescent shaped moon with a face and a hooked nose grins a horrible toothy smile looks down at them and the viewer.

Artists, quote with something dramatic 💦
A lone, blond-haired figure on their knees grabs their head as they witness the destruction of an imposing city in the background. All around, corpses and ruin cover the landscape, and fire consumes the remains of the city, while the silhouette of a massive demon looms over the tallest building with its arms wide open. Around it, smaller winged demos fly about against a dark sky.
