Heyo! I present my portfolio in this most sacred #portfolioday.

The name's Nil, the trade's artist, the availability's yes, the email is nilcaste@gmail.com.
A gloomy monochromatic digital painting of an almost smiling Asian woman wearing only a grey robe with gold flecks and a veil that covers her mouth and nose, holding between her hands a bright, bisected skull. On the background, a foggy field of bones. A digital painting of a desert scene, where the ruins of a bridge emerge from the sands, and over the tip of it a floating figure in flowy robes, enveloped by a cloth-like magic effect that seems to come from the other figure, a huge black woman with glowing golden eyes, in a windy gold dress, a quill on her finger, bright runes in a halo around her head. A digital painting of a red-headed vampire dressed in admiral-like clothes. She's shouting at the sky for her brethren, holding an elaborate saber. Her and her companion, a huge vampire bat with torn wings are holding onto a breaking spire, and in the background a misty gothic cityscape illuminated by an oversized moon. A digital painting of woman teetering on the edge of a balcony. Her black hair and translucent white shift blow on the wind while she holds a bleeding human heart to her ecstatic smiling mouth. She leaves behind the warm light of the house, and instead her face is lit by strong moonlight.

petals

[ #art ]
A painterly illustration of an elven-looking woman sat on the ground in a curled up position, arms wrapped around one of her legs. Petals seem to be falling down her body.

Gideon Nav 💪🗡️💀

Where is Alecto Tamsyn 🍽️

#thelockedtomb #gideontheninth #procreate
Digital painting of Gideon Nav from the Locked tomb books - Nav stands in a strong pose having just thrown off their jacket, dressed in black and brandishing a big ol’ sword. Green mist swirls out of tomb in the background, moving towards us over the saturated red floor.

A dark and foreboding figure stands in white garb in front of a temple. There is a strong yellow glow coming from the door behind her.

Melinoë from Hades 2 took me out of my art funk! Here's some fanart.
Digital illustration in a realistic style of Melinoë from the game Hades 2, white background, modern clothes, holding a teacup with her translucent left arm that makes the bones visible. With ther other hand, she casts a spell holding a book aloft, the phases of the moon in the cover. She has a red eye with a black sclera, while her other eye is green. She's barefoot, and her feet are alight as if made of fire.

The Hallowed Grove

For the boardgame expansion pack "Minos: Dawn of Faith" I was asked to imagine what religious ceremonies in ancient Minoan culture could have looked like. This is one of 4 illustrations I made for them on this topic, a kind of harvest ritual.
Client: Board&Dice

#art
A religious ceremony in ancient Minoan culture: a young female priest, dressed in white, under an olive tree. In the background, two more women doing some kind of dance and strewing red petals on the ground. The scene is full of dappled sunlight.

"Alluring Presence"

Finally painted a vampire for myself 🖤

#art #illustration
Illustration depicting an albino woman with glowing red eyes coming through a window, she's reaching a hand to the viewer inviting them to come closer while her other hand is transforming into a clawed threat to the side. Around her three bats with matching red eyes and petals flowing about while behind her 3 towers can be seen in the foggy sky.

some recent mouth/teeth studies from photo reference

I still struggle to draw open mouths/teeth from imagination so this was some much needed practice. Tried to find some interesting looking ones for variety.

You'll find her in omnipedia.app 👈

Search bar is right there!
Lit by vibrant hues of purple, a band performs on stage. The drummer and bassist are faintly visible in the background, obscured by the camera's focus on the singer: Shahada Ndaba. Dark curls, strong arms, wearing a shirt that says "loose bolt <3" and a face locked to a scream, unloading into the mic. The fourth band member stands to the side, pumping the bass, their face in cables and wire. True to its word, their shirt reads "complete machine XD" An illustration from Sophie Ellen Smith (https://sesmithfreelance.wixsite.com/folio24)

Dear #portfolioday we meet again.
My name is Yorgos, I'm from Greece and I work mostly in the publishing industry making book covers. I'm available for work from September onwards.

Here's some of my work!
Digital painting of a woman against an orange pattern background. Painting of a woman wearing a crown, in a field of rye. A wolf stands besides her, mostly in shadow. Fan poster for the movie Nosferatu, featuring Mina with glowing eyes against a forest backdrop. A book cover for the novel "The Moss," showing a girl covered in flowers and moss with glowing white eyes.
