Hi #PortfolioDay!
I'm Aromie. I specialize in creature and character-based concept art. I experiment, but my favorite genres are fantasy and horror. If I can help bring your ideas to life, feel free to contact me!

Illustration of the Nue, a Japanese mythical chimera creature. A quadrupedal creature with the body of a tiger, head of a monkey and tail of a snake. Reimagined concepts of the Wizard of Oz characters. Five characters are shown. In the middle is a young girl wearing a white button-up and a blue suspender skirt, holding a gun in one hand and a basket of ammo in the other. Next to her is a Cane Corso dog with a collar that says "Toto." To the left is a tall, knife-wielding man dressed in a ragged, bullet-worn suit and fedora, a crow with a knife in its beak sitting on his shoulder. To the right is a man dressed smartly in a vest and mask, with prosthetic arms and one prosthetic leg, an axe on his belt and a can of gasoline beside him. In the back is a huge male brute in a vest with a bearded face and top-knot, wearing knuckle rings on his fists. A bluish-gray dragonoid creature made of ash. Embers burn within its body and its open mouth. It sits upon a pile of reptilian remains, ash and bones An anthropomorphic otter, squirrel and mouse dressed in medieval-style clothing sit among rocks. Each one checks a weapon - a javelin for the otter, a sling and stones for the squirrel, and a dagger for the mouse. Next to each one is a bowl of food: shrimps for the otter, nuts for the squirrel, and berries for the mouse.

Thanks for hosting this Akane! 😎🍷

Here are my most recent pen pieces and some (optional) tags for @canuckuma.bsky.social @lri.bsky.social @carsondrewit.bsky.social @runningcritter.bsky.social @ddbtorres.bsky.social @crittercrafterally.bsky.social @magicalscope.bsky.social
Pen drawing with a large black void filled with eye and star like structures in it with tentacles of night hovering amoung insectoid biomechanical forms and structures that flow to the right towards more structured forms dominated by a large or very close feminine figure. She is staring at the void while surrounded like ancient Egyptian mythological type figures with animal heads. The entire world is ancient structures carved with runes and organic shapes growing over them. Pen drawing that fills a page with large, unearthly looking shapes that intertwine with each other into a dense scene with shell like structures, large hollows almost with an insectoid eye cluster type appearance with the most prominent features being a mostly hidden skull on the left and right of center is a more prominent and visible humanoid skull. This skull is implied to be massive based on the figures standing in the eye sockets and the appearance that it is at the end of a trail while the skull and walkway is rising above out of twisted root like structures, fleshy sacks and other features. Standing out of these is an almost carved theatre style mask set in a frieze with an arch of skulls over it and seemingly supporting the trail. Full page pen drawing of a figure with a chain mail like hood draped over their head the flows into robes accented with tusks over the shoulder and holding an orb between their hands, one over, one under with a glowing white energy around a black, pupil like sphere. Flanking at a distance to either side are two others with the furthest back on the left having 3 horizontal, rectangular extensions off the headdress. Behind the one on the right is a large, ancient stone structure with black panels set into it where white, ghostly, humanoid and near-humanoid figures are visible, while branching like structures fill the upper part of the page where the sky would be, blotting out the starscape. On the left diamond shaped craft hang in the air while the top of structures emerge from a fog, including a large T shaped structure. Pen drawing of an alien covered in coral looking bio-mechanical growths and a fogged visor only showing eyes with tentacle like limbs 'crab-walking' towards the left. Its companion is folded up in a corner among the curved walls that are covered in alien machinery that has organic like textures that look carved or inscribed. Behind the moving alien is a large oval window showing a star scape in deep space.

Been thinking about cozy foods this season. And Redwall is ultimate cozy.

My take on shrimp & hotroot soup, which I probably wouldn't be able to eat IRL because I am a baby when it comes to spiciness

#art #food #studies #fanart #redwall
A painting of a rustic wooden bowl filled with a reddish soup, topped with freshly cooked shrimp, peppers and watercress. On top reads the text "Shrimp & Hotroot Soup," and next to it is a doodle of a cartoon otter giving a thumbs up

Whalefall Knight

Knights desperate for power will undergo a grotesque ritual, wrapping their bodies in rotting bones, hides and offal in order to bind a swarm of hungry astral parasites to themselves. Such an act requires great strength of will, or at the very least, a nonfunctional sense of smell.
An armoured knight, wrapped in a mantle of rotting whale skin and a yoke made from the jaws of whales. Their sword is rusting and encrusted with mussels and barnacles. Their body is surrounded by writhing, translucent tentacles.

Ngl, if I ever were to write a character and had an actor read lines for them, I'd probably just burst into tears immediately

The Visit
the image shows a palace with a courtyard. In the courtyard there's a carriage led by two horses. There's a girl sitting in the carriage and her mother is standing outside the carriage holding the girl's hand. A chauffeur is sitting on the front seat. There are two white borzoi dogs. One is sniffing the feet of a man walking towards the front door. Another one is looking at the mother of the girl. There are two small Prague Ratter dogs. One is standing next to borzoi and one is laying on the ground. There is a woman in green with her son and daughter, a man behind them, an elderly lady and two young servants. There's a ginger girl in the background with a Russian Blue cat. There's a servant woman walking through the entrance arch holding a bowl with oranges and wooden barrel in her hands. The house in inspired by Elizabethan Baroque architectural style and the clothes for the characters is inspired by early 19 century fashion. The building is decorated with tiles and patterns. The artwork is mostly blue, mint and lilac.

The Hunter has been hiding among Slivers for so long he now thinks he's one of them. Just an excuse to draw Slivers, really. And cosplay as a Sliver. I love Slivers!
This is the result of my mentorship with the great @paulscottcanavan.com

another daily concept piece that I just wrapped up! I'm really liking the results of this and finally captured a good process video to show how I use Blender to build out the concept.

this one took around 2.5 hours from block in to final touches.

Is there a particularly festive / Christmas-oriented Resident Evil enemy? Thinking of what I might want to doodle next...

Wanna see something funny? This is what my draft sketches look like. Channeling that "make it exist first, you can make it good later" energy.
(I can't show anything I recently worked on until sometime next year 🙈)
