Hi happy #PortfolioDay !

I'm Morgan, a queer artist mostly focused on original character and nature subjects. I have a shop, and I do commissions through Ko-fi!

Illustration of a dark-colored snail. The body is sort of dark gray with reddish streaks and lines along the top and sides. The shell is dark brown and turning lighter and warmer in color as it spirals in. The background is off-white with squiggles and little stars. Drawing of a very long scaly pinkish gray dragon with curved black horns, a hairy gray mane, bird feet, and a somewhat humanlike face. The dragon, named Eve, has one foot on the shoulder of a human trans guy named Aster who looks like he is struggling under the weight. Aster is pale with wavy blond hair, and he is wearing a white blouse and brown pants and boots. The background is blue with a tan border. Drawing of two winged guys on a blue sort of stained glass-like background with a yellow lace-like border. There is a dark circle behind them. One guy, Lace, is a bit smaller with top surgery scars and curly brown hair. He is wearing star earrings and white pants, and he has long, narrow wings like a barn swallow. He is holding a knife to the throat of the other guy. The other guy, Nemato, is paler with long red hair. He is wearing a white skirt and has more rounded wings patterned like a shrike. Lace looks angry, but Nemato looks almost calm, or even enamored, and is not fighting back. The two guys are glowing a bit. Drawing of four sturgeon swimming through the water with bubbles. The first is brown and swimming to the right while the rest swim to the left. The second is bluish-gray and has a little chip out of a fin. The third is pale yellowish brown and slim. The fourth is darker and gray.

strange unicorns

#art #oc #ocsky 🎨
Drawing of a unicorn faun person, the top half being more human. They have long ears, curly brown hair and a small pale beard, and striped tail and hooved feet. They are smiling and waving. Drawing of a sort of cat-like unicorn creature. The main body is more cat-like and brown with stripes, but it has long ears, a fluffy mane, hooved back feet, and a fluff on the end of its tail. It is running.

🔔 Corliss (she/her) and Stanley (she/her) work on projects together! These entail modifying old toys and building gadgets out of them, combining Stanley’s interest in collecting toys + Corliss’s love for building electronics.
Art of Corliss and Stanley, the personifications of copper and tin respectively. They’re building gadgets together. Corliss is gleefully handing red and blue wires to Stanley, who is soldering a circuitboard. They sit at a table cluttered with objects, including bells, metal sheets, and wheels. The background is of a workshop, with brown walls lined with pipes, and bells hanging overhead.

Hiii Bsky, sorry I've been super absent lately, will you take a Nzuzi as apology? 🫣

#OCArt #OCs #OriginalCharacter
A digital illustration of my OC Nzuzi, an androgynous Congolese man, taking a selfie. He has long dreadlocks with gold jewelry, bright gold eyeshadow, and bright, shiny red lipstick. He wears some sort of sleeveless shirt or possibly dress, with a light jacket falling off his shoulders, and his phone is bright yellow with the intersex flag on it. The colors of the piece are extremely saturated and bold.

Hand built this moth mug, absolutely obessessed with the moths. The glaze did run a bit funny, but that's the fun of it

#pottery #moths
A speckled, handmade white mug that has a wonky handle. This view shows a Luna moth on the side The same mug, but from the opposite side. This side has a Death's head hawkmoth The same mug from the front. Here you can see the glaze has sheered out towards the rim. At the bottom there is a polyphemus moth

A painting of a black woman. She wears her hair in a loose afro, with one side of her scalp shaved. Her eyes are luminous yellow and catlike. She has multiple facial and ear piercings, along with the following three tattoos: large wings on her back, the roman numeral II (two) over her left breast, and the word “balance” at the base of her throat. She wears a hot pink tube top, denim shorts, and a long gold necklace with a pendant that isn’t visible. She is sitting on a brown couch, leaning forward towards the viewer, smiling. A painting of a black man. He has short hair, cut in a high taper style. His eyes are luminous yellow, slightly darker than the accompanying illustration. He has a single ear piercing, and a well-groomed mustache. He is wearing an orange tee shirt and sits on a brown couch with a black shelf next to it. He leans his cheek into the palm of his hand and looks at the viewer with a neutral expression.
