LATE HALLOWEEN DRAWING. I didn’t have a lot of time yesterday so it’s just a sketch, and it’s just Ambrose and Peregrine because I couldn’t come up with costumes for the rest fast enough. It’s them as Veronica and JD at the end of the movie Heathers. #art #sketch #OCsky #OC #HATHM
A digital sketch of my characters Ambrose and Peregrine respectively dressed in the outfits that Veronica and JD wear at the end of the movie Heathers.

okay, i think i'm finalizing these colors + shapes for my sona! i don't think i am going to give it a tail, but i reserve the right to draw it with the pen-nib-tipped tail if i feel like it. now i have to redraw my icon. eventually.
Digital sketches of my sona/mascot as a bat. The left one has outstretched wings, showing that the interior is the same red and orange as its neck fluff and the insides of its ears. The right one is a side view of the sona with its wings folded around it like a cape.

simplified the palette + did some tail options. i like the first. it’s easier to draw and has a clearer silhouette. but i also wanted to try a rooster tail for a more mythical hybrid look + i love those birds even though they don’t fit as a sona for Me. i might not give them a tail at all though…
A digital sketch of my mascot/sona as a bat. This variation has a thin tail ending in a point shaped like a pen nib. A digital sketch of my mascot/sona as a bat. This variation has a rooster’s tail.

playing around with the Look of my mascot/sona. wanted to make the head less nonsensical and easier to doodle and seriously considered what animal might best represent me. i feel like the design is still missing something but i like the direction it’s headed.
A digital sketch of my mascot as a blue bat with red-orange ear interiors. Its wings are wrapped around and clasp at the front like a cape, and it has arms and legs separate from the wings. It also has a long, tufted tail.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Amaranth Morn, an illustrator who loves doing fantasy, horror, and character portraits. Looking for any kind of illustration work or commissions.

See my work here or at cara.app/amaranthmorn.
Commission information in pinned.
Contact me at amaranthmorn@gmail.com.
A digital illustration of my Snow Queen fairy tale retelling characters. Neve, a blue-skinned, white-haired woman with mist pouring from her icy body, holds a snow globe and regards it with a cold but curious gaze. The globe is lit from within by golden light, which pours from two rose-shaped lamps hanging from a post. Under the lamppost, teenage best friends Kain and Glory engage in a gleeful snowball fight. A crack runs through the globe, visually cutting through Kain's figure. Neve's gaze is shifted slightly more in his direction. A digital illustration of a girl with a haunted expression kneeling beneath a gnarled juniper tree. She holds a feather that glows like fire. In the earth beneath her is a skeleton. Fire lights from its eye sockets. Above the skull and above the earth, a bird's long, flame-colored tail feathers hang down from the juniper tree. The bird itself looks down toward the girl. In the distance, a small house sits, smoke rising from its chimney and blending with the stormy sky. Two digital illustrations. Each depicts a character of mine (Glory and Kain, respectively) as a young adult, teenager, and child. Glory's piece is in warm, vibrant colors, and Kain's is in cold, muted colors. Their compositions mirror each other, and the characters appear to be looking at each other when the images are placed side by side. Six digital illustrations of the characters for my House at the Hellmouth project. They depict the characters in full-body poses, each surrounded by glowing magical imagery that relates to them as characters.

anyway i think about this post a lot. the hawk take her away molabuddy.tumblr.com/post/7201993...
A redraw of the meme edit from the linked post, where a flying hawk carries away an autism creature. Here, the hawk is drawn as the bird-monster form of my character Peregrine, and the autism creature is drawn as my character Clove.

Anyway, the new Procreate brushes are pretty great. I can't believe they named three of them after my OCs (JOKE).

For real, though, "Ambrose" may be my new favorite Procreate brush. It is such a fluid, easy-to-use inker with a nice sharp edge. AND it's named after my boy (JOKE, AGAIN).
A digital sketch of my character Ambrose in the program Procreate, drawn using the new brush "Ambrose," next to the open brush window with that brush highlighted. A digital sketch of my character Peregrine in the program Procreate, drawn using the new brush "Peregrine," next to the open brush window with that brush highlighted. A digital sketch of my character Kestrel in the program Procreate, drawn using the new brush "Kestrel," next to the open brush window with that brush highlighted.

#bweirdoctober2025 DAY 3: FAVE OC(s)! Super late; I wanted to do something cleaner, but it's not gonna happen. Anyway: the #HATHM protagonists! Lately, I've been redesigning them to make their designs and palettes more fun to draw and more fitting for their personalities. #OC #OCsky #art #sketch
A digital sketch lineup of the protagonists of my project, "The House at the Hellmouth," showing their new palettes. Ambrose (teal) now has flame orange and gold accents, Clove (orange) now has soft deep blue accents, and Lucas (blue) now has neon teal and fuschia accents. A digital sketch lineup of two different versions of Lucas in Arc 1, standing in the same static pose and in the same simple color style. On the left, he wears the same clothing as his old Arc 1 design. On the right, his hoodie is removed, revealing his dark blue sweater to have two thin horizontal stripes of soft teal. Three rough digital portrait sketches of the HATHM protagonists.

Hi, I'm Amaranth Morn, or Am! I'm a Thai-American artist who loves horror and fairy tales, and I would be very interested in this. You can see my work here or on Cara (cara.app/amaranthmorn), and you can contact me at amaranthmorn@gmail.com.

Creature Peregrine is a bipedal, birdlike beast with sharp talons, long ear tufts, a forked tongue, a serpentine neck and tail, and a long, lank mane falling from the back of his neck. His face and talons are white, his mane and the feathers down his spine are deep red, and his eyes and some of the iridescence on his feathers are a sickly yellow-green. Some skin is torn open on his neck and chest, revealing a transparent membrane holding in innards that are the same yellow-green. You can faintly see his ribcage in his chest.

A digital illustration of user animatedZombie's character Silai. One of her fists is covered with a huge armored gauntlet, and she pulls that fist back as if to punch something. Steam shoots from holes around the wrist of the gauntlet, propelling her fist forward. She gives a determined smile to the camera.

#artfight attack for gloxinia! #artfight2025 #teamcrystals #art
A digital illustration of gloxinia's character Lydia. With a friendly grin, the witch drapes her arms over her broom, which she holds horizontally behind her. She is backlit by sunlight filtering through the leaves of the forest she stands in. A pink gem embedded in her chest glows softly with magic, as do her similarly pink eyes. Her braids and the tip of her hat blow left.

New main images for Glory and Kain, the main duo in my Snow Queen #fairytale #retelling! Childhood friends who fell apart in their teens. Kain disappeared soon after, but they reunite as adults with a lot to resolve. I wanted to show all their stages of life. #artsky #art #OCsky #OC #SQRetelling
A digital illustration of my character Glory as a young adult, teenager, and child. She is Black, with a lot of curly natural hair. Her younger selves wear mostly green and have dark brown hair, while her adult self has red accents on her clothing and dyed blonde hair with brown roots showing. Her adult self sits on a tall stool front and center, preparing to write music on a curling piece of paper. She glances to our left. Her teen self stands back-to-back with her, smiling down at a rose in her hands. Her child self peeks out from behind the stool with a shy smile and waves to someone off screen, to our left. Rose petals swirl around the three, and a small bush rests behind their feet. A digital illustration of my character Kain as a young adult, teenager, and child. He is brown-skinned and bespectacled, with wavy black hair. His adult self has short hair, a long white coat, and a cracked glasses lens, while his teen and child selves have longer hair and wear blue and red, respectively. His adult self hovers slightly off the ground front and center, conjuring a small floating screen of light with notes on it. A white mask with dark lenses for eyes floats in front of his face. He glances to our right. His teen self stands back-to-back with him, looking up in excitement at some floating shards of glass. His child self steps out from behind his adult self, smiling, and waves to someone off screen, to our right. Shards of glass swirl around the three, and a cloud of mist disperses at their feet.
