Hi #PortfolioDay!
I'm VelvetPaws, a Frenchie cat mum, fashionista of sorts, and software engineer. I draw illustrations and comics for personal satisfaction.
I work both in digital and traditional (mostly ink).
I like themes of sci-fi, cyberpunk, witchcraft, vampire, lesbian romance,...

14 - Trunk

I wanted to go for something mysterious and a teensy bit ominous. Did it work? 😁

12 - Shredded

I love slang, especially when it helps me avoid drawing a pile of random little stuff 😅

11 - Sting

The word wasn't inspiring me, so I decided to be the Frenchie in the room and to draw Sting, as he appears in the movie Kaamelott.
I don't think I'm giving his charisma justice, cuz he was super dashing!

Day 7 - Reckless
I had several ideas for this one, but I liked the fact that you can be reckless in a very casual way, by just minding your own business... A little too much 😅

Painting in ink and white pencil and pen on grey paper, representing a person who is wearing headphones and focused on their phone, and who is walking in front of the bright lights of an undefined but large vehicle.

I found 2 references I really liked, so I went the "Why Not Both?" route 😂

This witch is a modern version of your classic children eating monster. Her leather boots are probably made of human skin.

A drawing of what could be a modern witch: a very pale lady with long black hair, in a dark suit, a Borsalino like hat and red Santiago boots, holding a staff in one hand and a bleeding heart in the other Details of the drawing: landscape portrait Details of the drawing: American portrait Details of the portrait: the shoes

Post a witch if you wish

I made this one just now. She's a modern version of your classic children eating monster, and her leather boots are probably made of human skin.

I'll take a better picture after sunrise 🦇

I made this sketch today, as a male characters practice. I think my reference was AI generated tho, so I had to make a few adjustments 😅
