The abstract flowers are a reference to the works of Lidija Osterc in some children's books I grew up with! A lot of little personal touches in this one <:

Here is a close-up + the background without Lubi which also looks really nice!

In October's experiment, I wanted to do a mixture between a grittier fantasy feel, and a storybook illustration. I really like the result, the palette feels nostalgic, and I'm happy that I'm finally getting better at remembering to use my photos.

#art #ocart #fantasy #darkfantasy #fantasyart
Digital illustration. In the foreground on the left is my character Lubi (he/him). He is visible from his knees and to his shoulders, we do not see his head. He is wearing a cape with a heart symbol on it, and a black tunic. In his right hand, he's holding a red dagger. In the background is a meadow and a building. The meadow is textured using photos, and sprinkled with semi-abstract, colouful flowers, inspired by the children's illustrations of Lidija Osterc that I grew up with. There is a forest seen behind the building in the upper right corner. The building has white walls and a red roof. It is referenced from a photo of St. Peter's Church in Starigrad (Croatia). The picture has a quiet, late summer/early autumn feeling to it (well, at least to me it does lmao). The juxtaposition of the person with a dagger and the quiet meadow raise uncertainty of the true mood of this image.

#ocart #art #artsky #vampire #pinup
Digital illustration with a vaguely(?) halloween vibe. The background has been done mainly by using the lasso tool, while the character is drawn with a rough textured brush, but keeping fairly minimal in shading. My character Vampirka is sitting in the center in a pin-up-esque position. She has large pointy ears, big green eyes and a smile with protruding vampire fangs. Her hair is short and purple, and she is wearing a heart-shaped earring on her left ear. She is wearing a tight red top which fully covers her arms, while only half-covering the girls. The shirt is pinned in the middle with a large abstract brooch that matches her earring in style, dropping a sash of silk that was likely supposed to cover the front of her body. It does not do that well. Tattered nearly translucent curtains fly about her from the right side. On the left there appears to be a smooth column, with a thorny rose growing over it on top. In the bottom right corner is a lit candle. There is a thin strip of the outside seen on the left-most edge of the illustration, showing a starry sky, and a fire below.

I want to do a few studies of Frank Frazetta's work, starting with his cover for Bloodstone, since I just finished reading it.

#swordandsorcery #fantasyart #fantasy #art #artsky
Digital illustration. It's a study/redraw of the Frank Frazetta cover of Karl Edward Wagner's Bloodstone. The image features the muscular main character Kane, wearing only a piece of metal underwear. His raised arm is holding a bloody sword, and he's wearing a large shining ring. He has wild red hair and beard. Behind him is the Bloodstone itself, and the foreground features rolling smoke.

Hello #portfolioday!
I'm Jim Brin from Slovenia, and I'd love a chance to work on an indie project, be it cover art, album art, game art, you name it. If you need art, you are in luck, because that's what I make. 👍

And here's the last set, desert and winter styles.

(outfit descriptions in alt text)
#art #ocart #fantasy #fantasyart #characterdesign
IRE (Desert outfit) The Odgor's desert costumes are made of simple light cloth to protect them from the sun, but they still enjoy adding decoration, such as an undershirt made of bright ribbons. SKINNER (Desert outfit) Unlike the Odgor, who live in a relative vicinity of a desert, the Nakrí don't have their own clothing for this sort of biome, so Skinner's costume is sourced from the locals. He wears loose, flared pants with thigh-high slits, woven sandals, and a wide-brimmed, tall-tipped wizard hat. He is not wearing a shirt. IRE (Winter outfit) Ire's winter outfit consists of a boxy wool jacket with corduroy-like sleeves and leather-padded shoulders and cuffs. There is metal decoration on the front, and a knitted sweater underneath. In winter even the Odgor wear pants, or more accurately, tights made out of soft leather. The sandals are replaced with green leather boots. SKINNER (Winter outfit) Skinner wears a poncho featuring the Nakrí silk collar as well as a wild fur collar. The poncho also has a pointed hood. Underneath he wears thick pants and knee-height furred boots. His hands are warmed by three-fingered gloves.

Back from my little vacation, and here are Ire and Skinner's battle and ceremonial outfits!

(outfit descriptions in alt text)
#art #ocart #fantasy #fantasyart #characterdesign
IRE (battle attire) Ire's battle armour is that of an Odgor tribal champion. It's vibrantly coloured in the infamous Odgor metals which are as beautiful as they are tough. His collar piece and his axe both have an abstract decoration, a popular metalwork design among his people. The sleeves are made of scaled leather, and the thick wires protruding from the best to the back are purely aesthetic. (The wires are a leftover from Ire's original concept which was much heavier on sci-fi elements, thus his armour used to have tubes. They no longer serve a functional purpose, but I liked the silhouette of them, so I decided to just make it a decorative element) SKINNER (battle attire) When getting ready for combat Skinner wears sort of a mishmash of things he picked up on the way. He again wears his matted fur skirt and old boots, but his top is replaced by a scaled leather shirt, and additionally padded with a scarf which covers his head as well. He also wears a metal helmet. In battle, Skinner marks more of his skin with blood, particularly his face and thighs. IRE (ceremonial attire) As before, this outfit is also made predominantly of metal in many colours. While Odgor are known for their metals, they generally don't use it for frivolous things, as they are very stingy when it comes to mining their holy mountain. Thus, their highly valuable ceremonial costumes use thin, small pieces of vibrant metal as opposed to something bigger. The shape of a triangle is significant to Odgor culture and heavily utilized in this outfit. (The idea of a dress made of small pieces of metal came from Paco Rabanne's futuristic chainmail dresses) SKINNER (Ceremonial attire) A traditional ceremonial Nakrí attire is a long grey tunic, the bottom half of which is covered in red and green tassels and red drop-shaped gems. He also wears jewelry, a thick scarf of the Nakrí silken twist, loose silk pants and simple shoes with a slightly upturned tip. On his head is a peculiar, simple but elegant metal head piece with horns. His arms are not painted in blood, but the upper half of his face is painted red, and he is also wearing red lipstick and nail polish to match it.

I designed a couple of outfits for my sword & sorcery characters, Ire and Skinner! Both of these are casual looks, and I'll be posting four others at a later date. <:

(character backgrounds and outfit descriptions in alt text)
#art #ocart #fantasy #fantasyart #characterdesign
IRE (he/him) Ire's people (the Odgor) from the steppes lean very vibrant because a lot of their culture and religion is based around rare precious metals that come in many colours. They also utilize a lot of the colourful furs and leathers of their native fauna. Because they are known far and wide across the continent, the members of the tribe usually try to be well put together, to be a good representation of their goddess. Ire often wears a wrist brace on his left wrist. IRE OUTFIT 1 (CASUAL) - Ire's first casual outfit is a black top of a stretchy fabric, a large medallion necklace, shorts and tall sandals. There is also a piece of fabric hanging off the front of his waist to add a splash of colour. SKINNER (he/him) Skinner is a traveler, banished from his tribe (the Nakrí) for practicing blasphemy, so his outfits are a bit of a mishmash of different styles. His original homeland is on the cold ocean cliffs and has a more spiritual culture. Skinner is a blood mage and needs to paint himself in blood in order to use his magic. SKINNER OUTFIT 1 (CASUAL) - Skinner made the top and skirt of this outfit himself while living in the wilderness, and it's made of locks of matted fur. He's wearing old leather boots of a peculiar design of his tribe, the Nakrí, where the belt and brooch also origin from. The brooch in particular is a symbol of blood mages, which Skinner proudly wears in spite of being exiled for his taboo use of blood magic. IRE OUTFIT 2 (CASUAL) - While the first outfit is an everyday sort of look for the Odgor people, the second one, while not an armour, is more fit for adventuring. The top is made of leather, giving a little protection, along with the metal harness across his chest. The outfit has a thick belt and a colourful furred skirt, and the usual Odgor sandals. SKINNER OUTFIT 2 (CASUAL) - A more practical costume for traveling the land, this outfit includes a tunic and shorts. The tunic features sleeves and collar of a distinct Nakrí design - made of a twisted silk material.

September's experimental illustration

#art #ocart #fantasy #darkfantasy #fantasyart
Digital illustration in a vertical position. The piece has a central composition, with a fully red figure standing in the middle. The figure (my OC Lubi) is painted red with some grey and black shading. He holds a red sword and wears a black helm in a vague heart shape. His appearance is intimidating, his yellow eyes cast in shadow, his mouth bearing thick black lipstick. His hair is fire, going upwards. He's wearing some sort of a robe, but his torso and left arm are bare. On his chest we can see top surgery scars, and a heart-shaped hole with a glowing white pearl inside. He is standing in a foggy and desolate brownish grey and cream-coloured landscape. Clouds of fog are rolling on the bare ground, where we can see a skull in the bottom left corner. On the right behind Lubi we can see a dry bush, its black bare branches reaching upwards. The rest of the landscape are bare square-ish rocks. On top of the image there are rolling clouds in more pleasant colours, beige, yellowish and pinkish among the grey. Near the top left part of the image is an oval opening in the sky, showing a glimpse of a bright blue sky with white clouds. Leftwards is a very graphic shape of a yellow star, while rightwards is a black orb with a thin red edge, like some sort of a void sun. Above Lubi is a simple golden crown, floating in mid-air. Above that is an abstract graphic shape which evokes a sort of stylized spiral plant. It is coloured in a gradient of gentle but bright colours - red, yellow, green, purple and blue. The symbols in the sky symbolize objects of hope, inspiration, optimism and creativity (the meanings are not specific to any of the shapes, it's a group effort). Lubi is before them as their warrior, protecting the aspects of good from whatever force has destroyed the land he stands on. He looks intimidating, because frankly, I feel like the time to play nice is long over.

#art #ocart #fantasyart #artsky
Rough graphic digital drawing featuring my character Ire (he/him). Ire is drawn in thick black rough lines and coloured bright green, with minor greyish-blue shading and red accents. He looks solemn and is drawn waist-up facing left, standing on the rightside of a semi-abstract landscape in purple, red, black and greyish-blue. One can discern a grassy ground, a shape of a mountain, and a cut-out of a sun. The image is a spot illustration on a light peach-coloured flat background.

Her excellency, the Queen 🍸 #art #deltarune
A digital illustration featuring the Queen from Deltarune. The piece is styled to somewhat resemble 90s VHS covers. The Queen is sitting in her chair, coloured in with smooth, airbrushed shading. There is a small purple cityscape of Cyber City in the lower third of the image, which she casually raises her leg over, showing her high heels. At the very bottom, standing on a green street, are pseudo-pixel silhouettes of Kris, Ralsei, Susie and Noelle. Below the center of the image, there is a red sunrise light behind the queen, and a green cyber grid on black background takes up the rest of the background. The queen is holding a yellow martini glass of battery acid in one hand, and holding the other in a 'hime laugh' position at her face. Red, green and blue lights are reflecting in her visor.

art at beginning of COVID a notably araki-styled piece of my character Lubi (known as Luv back then). he's in blue and pink colours, floating in a vaguely defined yellow space with a little watery/cloudy background indication in the back vs now same character, styled more knight/fantasy-like this time. the illustration has a painted feel to it. he is floating with his sword-wielding arm raised. there is an upside-down background behind him, depicting a labyrinth and a tall tower among clouds.

A lineless digital illustration. It depict a grey, black, brown and red scene. On the left is a red sun on a grey sky, below it a reflective lake, some plantlife and a dog. On the right is a white-haired person in a grey cape with a red edge, holding a sword. They are standing in the middle of a large red X, presumably made of blood. There is a black raven in the sky, and a couple of black pine trees in the background.
