Hello #PortfolioDay!

I'm Scragglebird, a scraggly mess of an art monster who loves character and creature design, fantasy and TTRPGs! I'm a background, prop, and character artist for various Vtubers!

Vgen: vgen.co/scragglebird
An illustration of Scragglebird, a creature that is a combination of vulture, pterosaur and few other things, perches on a tree growing sideways from an old cliff. They stretch their pterosaur-like wing in the autumn sunset. The cliff face is less with moss, mushrooms and ferns. Kaiju Bay cityscape. The viewer faces the bay at sunset. The reunited city sits in the foreground, most buildings damaged and damping apart due to the presence of large monsters. In the background sits an old circus and Ferris wheel, seemingly still running. A DnD party of five years in an autumn clearing. A Yuan-Ti artificer fixes one of his gadgets. A teifling ranger gets ready to skin and prepare a rabbit for dinner. A plasmoid monk admires a leaf. A human fighter mends some cloth and a Kenku bars/sorcerer lights the fire. A talking gif of Momo Toirneach's red and gold monster form. They are canine-like with two sets of horns and spikes down their back and a split tail.

In the spirit of falling back in love with my own art in 2026, I think I'm going to paint even more hands!! 💪
commission for ‪@kccodes.bsky.social<3 A digital illustration of two hands on bed sheets with tiny floral patterns on them. The Inquisitor's hand is glowing an otherworldly green with the Anchor, a lightning strike pattern starting on her palm and traveling down her hand. Blackwall's hand is tenderly tracing the magical mark on his lover's hand. A digital illustration of hands clutching a sword, surrounded by vegetation. One of the hands has a stylized dragon tattoo on the wrist.

My four Lorwyn Eclipsed paintings (because it's fun to see them together like this)!

And I started this year by finishing coloring this art piece!

Exploring the origins of the Sharkfolk and Roberto's past. Between ancestors, supernatural events, and mysterious human figures, the sea still hides secrets from its own guardian sharks. 🌊🦈✨
Illustration depicting the passage through the ages of hammerhead sharkfolk, presented as an evolutionary line. There is an ornament symbolizing a mysterious moonlit event of supernatural origin on a global scale. Moon phase symbols mark passage of time, and waves shift from rough to calm. The illustration begins with a storm and great wave engulf an unknown city, suggesting the end of the Anthropocene. The first image shows a wild hammerhead shark swimming freely in the open sea, illuminated by sunlight. In the second, the shark already has developed arms and pelvic fins that are beginning to adapt to form legs. It devours a fish caught with its bare hands. The third scene shows the shark with more evolved limbs, trying to crawl out of the water on a rocky beach. Some seaweed is attached to its dorsal fin. In the fourth scene, the shark is completely adapted to life on the surface. It uses plants as rudimentary clothing and builds a shelter of clay and shells under a mangrove tree. It is pouring nectar from a broken coconut into a small bowl. The fifth scene depicts a shark in a developed tribal society, wearing more elaborate clothing and carrying a wooden spear adorned with its own teeth. In the background are huts with conical roofs. The sixth image shows a shark in a similarly medieval era, wearing an elegant tunic and holding a crosier with a lunar symbol. He knees before an unknown human figure. Palaces with domes appear in the background. The seventh image represents an era similar to the Enlightenment or Industrial Age. The shark wears sophisticated clothing reminiscent of an engineer's and holds up an invention: a flask filled with glowing liquid that powers a light bulb. Elegant masonry houses with clay roofs appear in the background. In the eighth and final scene, a shark lives in a contemporary era, wearing modern clothes inspired by a teenage punk. He plays a moon-shaped guitar, while modern buildings and apartments form the background.

"Flock Impostor" for the Lorwyn Eclipsed set!
A traditional illustration featuring a changeling, a shapeshifter creature in the world of Lorwyn. In the image, the changeling has taken the rough shape of a bird, poorly mimicking the birds that surround it as it has kept its distinctive Changeling face with huge forward facing yellow eyes, and its entire body is blue. The changeling is looking directly at the viewer with an uncanny smile as the birds around it look either mildly confused or pretend not to notice the obvious impostor.

Played flip a coin with my caffeine intake today! It's a 50/50 split on whether it'll make me sleepy or make me jittery! Had a delicious gingerbread latte made with Bischoff cookie spread. Will update with results once it kicks in!

This post over on r/Ireland hit me like a brick.

There is some comfort in knowing --at least going by the comments-- that I am very much not alone in feeling the way I do about the state of things.

People keep telling me they're "not good enough to submit" - I say, we don't gatekeep skill levels.

Sure, I use the books to scout for artists to hire/forward projects to, but our goal is to *encourage people to celebrate nature*.

This is why I insist on having kid & amateur artists each season.

Proud to finally present Di's corrupted appearance! I'm so happy with his redesign. In the spirit of my 2026 goals, I'm not going to make the third ref (his "typical" appearance). Instead, I'll depict it in the form of drawings. Hope you enjoy this ref series!

I'm reminded of this unfinished pterosaur with birds drawing. Didn't know in which direction I should develop it, so I left it like that:

Just in case anyone out there feels like they shouldn’t post art - please do. The constant bullshit from the news is difficult but we can’t allow all of that to stop us from making art and sharing it. That’s all I have to say rn - am planning to enjoy the rest of my weekend working on sketches.

Aiming for a Brambly Hedge-ish January
