✨️Artists! Quote with long hair✨️
A dark haired elf standing in front of a portrait of what appears to be his parents. The portrait is slightly obscured. The Elf looks regal, his eyes a pale blue appear to glow. Hi wears black, as if in mourning. There is an orange glow emanating from the base of the drawing implying that there may be a fire set to the home. A golden halo circles the elve's head.

Artwork of my D&D character, Ez, a half-orc sorcerer, submerged in the ocean with the water up to his chin. He has pale green skin, long dark green hair and long tusks, with a chrysanthemum tattoo on his neck and shoulder. He is viewed in profile with an expression somewhere between regret and apathy. Below him, his long pink scarf floats in the water, with an image of his ship, the Blue Morpho, sailing through churning waves with lightning flashing around it. Above his head, a blue morpho butterfly floats in a blue sky. A study of the environment of Limgrave in Elden Ring, showing the golden Erdtree in the background with Stormveil Castle to the left. In the foreground, my Tarnished, Luke, a man in astrologer robes, rides on Torrent. A female miqo'te (cat person) from FFXIV stands holding a glowing blue book, from which a small terrier has been summoned and is floating next to her, where she reaches out to it with a gentle expression. The miqo'te has pale skin, black hair, cat ears and a tail, and a long grey-and-black coat with gold detailing. Artwork for the Drakonym TTRPG, showing a Runebark character in profile. They are humanoid but appear to be made of wood and glowing amber, wearing a wooden mask shaped like a rabbit head.

#portfolioday I haven't done one of these in a hot minute.

Hi I'm Draiad, a digital fantasy artist. Currently working on a couple of projects behind the scenes that I hope to share more of in the coming months.
Deliverance: A greyscale painting. We see a female elf carrying a staff. She is leading another elven man to her city which is in imminent danger from a towering godlike being standing over it. From this beings eye a bolt of light shoots out. Two smaller entities circle it. There is a prism of light shining from a halo around the being. a Digital drawing of my OC Cain. Cain is floating in the center of the image surrounded by bubbles. He is smiling. Cain is wearing casual clothes, a white tank top and joggers, he has short red hair and black sclera. It is a colorful picture. The Vampire's Favorite. A digital painting of a vampire sitting on a wing back chair. He holds in his hand what looks like a glass of red wine, but could well be blood. Sitting on an ottoman in front of him is a young man, seemingly nude. He has two puncture marks on his neck. They both look content. There are a lot of red and black tones in the furniture. There are plants and many bottles of wine. A group image of my original characters from the first part of my story SEED. A godlike being The Baha sits at the top of the image, while other characters are also drawn. Radwan, the avatar of the planet, Ty, an elder Speaker, Madam Stone, an elder witch and Claire, her apprentice holds hands with Milo, a youn Speaker.

I'm going to try and start regularly uploading videos of my drawings. A lot of them will probably be quick sketches like this, but I also want to do full process videos. I forget to record most of the time so... lets see how this goes.

Some Cain for your evening. #art #originalcharacter
Bust drawing of Cain with his eyes closed. Cain has short red hair that frames his face. He has no top on to show off some black scar like marks along his spine. He has a necklace on that is floating around him. The background is simple with some ginko leaves.

Deliverance #fantasyart
A digital greyscale painting of a colossal being getting ready to destroy a city. The being is in the background towering over a mountain range. The being is a dark, humanoid form with one large eye that takes up the majority of its head, it has no face. A bolt of lightning sparks from the beings eye. To the left and right of it two smaller beings float. A city sits below it and a road exits the city. Lights line the road hinting at the fleeing people. In the foreground are two characters assessing the situation. One an elven woman with a staff matching the iconography of the city another a man with a sword.
