✨️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.

Some of the sketching and concept work of one of said projects.

Some quick black and white sketches of clothing designs for the Speakers from my project SEED. These deisgns include some daily wear as well as ceremonial clothes.

Following the previous image these are some quick sketches of the Keepers of Apophis, their work clothes and some of the items they might carry on their person while they work.

Designs for priests of the Unseen. A cult that worships Apophis. They wear long black robes and cover their faces with masks to keep anonymous.

Some designs for Apophis. Apophis is a being born of chaos and many of his designs are formless and unstable.

#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.

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.
