🌿 Rowan @cynotherium.bsky.social · Oct 14
Hello #PortfolioDay,

I'm Rowan, a freelance illustrator working with ttrpgs. I love to illustrate anything involving animals. I am currently open for both commercial and private commissions, so feel free to contact me.

A calico anthropomorphic cat. They have a genetically modified paw reminiscent of bee stingers. They wear white sci-fi body armour with mechanical wings attached. A DnD party attempts to rescue their horse from frozen water. We have a dwarven wizard, elven ranger, and human fighter. A swarm of ravens flies towards the viewer. A variety of spooky props for Crooked Moon ttrpg.

he's just my little babygirl (a reanimated corpse of a grown man) who could never do anything wrong in his life! (is the kind of guy who'd shoot thru a hostage)
drawing of Petrichor, the same man described in the original tweet. he's looking up to another larger man with a petulant frown. he's holding his satchel on his shoulder, his hair is in a ponytail and tucked behind his pointy ears. he has some beard growing. drawing of Petrichor kneeling on the floor in just his leggins and shirt, handling two smoking vials with a focused expression. he has a soft scruffy beard, messy hair in a ponytail and tired eyes. there is the head of a half orc lady with braid peeking at what he's doing from the corner.

After a year, I've at last finished this painting for SMartschool with tutoring from Cynthia Sheppard. I'm, uh, proud of myself for this one
An illustration of an adventuring party trying to pull their horse from a frozen lake. The human knight attempts to push the horse out, while the elven ranger tries to soothe it. The dwarven wizard tries to pull with magic. Light shines on them in the dark night, highlighting flakes of falling snow.

"Holy Sacrament"
.
.
.
[OCs: Nikky (me) & Sister Catherine (@mossborn.bsky.social) #NewtsOCs VtM, 1835 England]
A square digital illustration that consists of a drawing of two figures ont he left and a bold strip of text on the right. It depicts the taking of sacrament, a soft-faced nun in off-white habit is feeding a piece of bread to a more rugged figure, that is kneeling in front of her. They have a straw-coloured hair, dressed in practical but tidy clothing, perhaps their sunday attire, with a couple knives strapped to their hip and boot. They are holding their hands in a prayer, eyes closed and mouth open with the tongue almost touching the nuns fingers as she feeds them the piece of bread. there is a splatter of red down their chin, as if they have previously drank of the communion wine. There is a small crucifix above them. Ont he right, there is a gothic style large decorative text in muted red/orange reading "Eat of His flesh Drink of His blood" there is more text in the border around the drawing, but much smaller, reading: "Sister Catherine Alden & Nikola Graves", "City of Magoth 1835 England", "Vampire the Masquerade", "Created by @Eyeofthenewt & @Mossborn".

Vampiric minotaur anyone? (latest pathfinder comm to round out the party)
A dark grey minotaur dressed in red gothic armour trimmed in black lace and gold metal.. She has glowing red eyes and large fangs. She holds a tall warhammer, from which hangs a banner bearing the picture of a maze and the symbol of Ustalav.

Next up in pathfinder party comms - Selket!
A four-armed woman with dark brown tendrils for hair. Her abdomen is bare, revealing a large mouth. It's long tongue holds a golden scale upon which is being weighed a heart and feather. She checks off an abacus in her arms. Her last hand rests on a tall staff. She has three eyes on the left side of her face. She wears ancient egyptian-inspired clothing - white and gold, with blue accents.

I've been working away on some lovely comms for a pathfinder campaign - here's Mamaat!
A portrait of a skeleton carrying a hooked polearm. His bones are carved and painted with images of plants and animals. He wears black tattered robes with leather armor woven with straw. He stands against a field of wheat.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This is a personal work, the first one in years, I could manage to spend some time on it despite all my current works, but I needed to do it and the most important thing, it’s probably one of the paintings I enjoyed most in a while!

Mil gracias @realgdt.bsky.social por esta obra maestra!

Big ol' Warhammer (fanart!) poster I did for the Apothecarion charity event. This was a massive undertaking for mw, it's the most complex thing I've ever done and the first piece of (semi) personal art I've completed in about 10 years.

If you're an artist wanting to break through in TTRPG illustrations and feel like you need an Art Directors feedback on your current portfolio. Feel free to reach out, comment or DM me here.
I feel like the industry is hard enough as is. I will reply slow but I'll do my best to support! 💜
