1.2k!!! That’s amazing, congratulations Sarah!! You deserve all the love and support and I can’t wait to see you keep growing 🧡

If there is still any room I’d love to be included :)) I mostly draw OCs and some DnD with general fantasy vibes. Maybe some spooky vibes every now and then hehe

Female Porcelain warforged DnD character with Victorian inspired clothing and elf ears. Right is without clothes showcasing their joints and blue floral patterns. Left is clothed, also with a wig (she’s naturally BALD lol) she also wears glasses to blend in and cover her unnatural eyes

My Tabaxi DnD character from a Skyrim campaign. He’s a bit of a cowboy, wearing a cowboy hat, spurred/clawed boots, and a red necktie. He’s a brown long haired cat, with a beard. He was two moon shaped sickle weapons, pouch of gold and a flask

Jamie!! My sweet photography loving oc!! He’s got lots of piercings (nose Bridge, left nostril, multiple ear piercings). He has dark skin, brown eyes, tight curly bleached blond hair with a fade and an eyebrow slit.

Two pages from my Magnus Archives comic - Angler Fish.
Left shows a closeup of a man’s lips and his feet (of which are ever so slightly dangling off the ground) and his eyes which have no light in them. A speak bubble coming from nowhere says “can I have a cigarette” we see the shocked expression of another character as they drop the cigarette in their hand.

On the right we have a full page illustration of the scene, of our main character looking into the alleyway at the dangling character. A speech bubble coming from the darkness in the alleyway behind the figure says, “can I have a cigarette”
In a puddle on the floor we see a reflection of the scene, but our main character is a little fish and in the shadows beyond is an angler fish, it’s light landing where our dangling figure should be.

Elven women with her back to us, in a backless dress with fluffy boa. She has long brown hair with white in it and is petting a light brown wolf with a snow owl in the tree above. The colours are a rainbow of saturated pastels with a snowy background

My interpretation of the painting, “Ophelia” where a women lies face up in a river with lily pads. The character is a friends oc with long flowing red hair a white top. In the background we see a bay horse

Wren in a band ai playing guitar. She is wearing long sleeve too with a boob window and lots of necklaces and rings and jewellery. The colour palette is bright green background with wren in a monochrome brown/yellow pallet?

My final uni project and a bit of my pride and joy :’))
I did a comic version of the first episode of #TheMagnusArchives

I have more pages but this is just the first ones 👀

Front and back page for Magnus Archives comic.

Back page: shows raindrops hitting a black inky void with a cigarette floating in it.
Text: CAN I HAVE A CIGARETTE? An illustrated adaptation of The Magnus Archives episode 001 - Angler Fish, following Nathan Watts and his encounter down Old Fishmarket Close, Edinburgh.

Front page: limited black and green colour pallet showing a face and hand reaching out from the darkness distorted by rain drops. The light from an angler fish seems to come from above him and covers the faces left eye in an orange glow.
Text: A Magnus archives story. Angler Fish. Originally by Johnathan Sims, illustrated by Tegan [redacted].

Pages 1 and 2. Limited green, black and white colour pallet with orange as an only secondary colour.

Page 1: close up of a mouth with a cigarette in it, then it cuts do smoke and pulls further away to reveal the man smoking it. We then see a top down view of him stood with another friend under the pub sign ‘The Albanach’.

Page 2: the second friend, who has white hair, falls onto the shoulder of the first who says, “you sure you’ll be ok?”
Nathan, our white haired man, pats his friends back and replies, “yeah dude”. We see Nathan walking off from the back while his friend watches, unsure. We get a close up of Nathan’s face which looks a little worse for wear and queasy. He then looks up…

Pages 5 and 6

These pages are kind of a spread but on the left we see him reaching out to stop his fall but falling flat on his chest. He pulls himself into a kneeling position and looks at his hands - we see they are scratched up and shaking. On the right we see him getting up and touching his head in pain. He takes a deep breath and lets it out.

Hey Artists! Show me your Greenery Art 🌿👀

Wide scene overlooking a valley with a windmill, mountain range in distance, winding path leading to a castle with a forest on the right. The foreground has a fence with lots of mossy grassy mounds

Another wide scene with Bonnie from behind on a horse with a torch, riding deeper into a spooky forest. There is a signpost with a crow on it, trees covered in glowing mushrooms, an abandoned backpack. We see a small fairy on the left sitting on a mushroom and between there is a werewolf life silhouette. There is a small pond near the path as well

Forests again! Cartoon style Bonnie, Endré and (brown haired??) Wren walk through a forest about to cross a small stream. There is a bridge in the background with a spooky figure beneath it and Bigfoot lurking between the trees. Glowing red eyes can be seen from a jackalope in the foreground as well as a Puka sitting on a fallen tree.

Endre riding through a forest shooting arrows on horseback. His horse is a pale Fjord horse with short shaped mane. Endre has his long hair flowing behind him and is wearing a sleeveless blue vest with layers of wrappings and fabric around his waist over brown trousers.

Have I already clocked in 15 hours?
Why.. yes 😙
Do I still have an entire background to sketch, colour, render, add lighting and edit?

Thank you so much for making this starter pack!🧡 If there are still spaces I’d love to be included :3

I’m Tree and I’m a character artist who is trying to find their style and experimenting :D I love folklore, DnD and fantasy!

Some colour variations of my interpretation of a Qallupilluit - an Inuit folk creature that steals children who wander too close to the icy water. I gave mine a humanoid body and long flowing black hair with bulging fish eyes and spines/fines along its sides and asks. Webbed feet and hands with sharp claws

Old old art I’m afraid!! But I still really love it and am proud of it. It shows my three OCs dancing together with linked arms on a courtyard balcony with stone pillars and a forest beyond. Firefly’s dance around then too with mushroom critters at their feet.

A collab I did with my friend! Her character is Piper (the one on the right).

Wren is in her caravan with Piper where they are having an.. altercation. Wren grips pipers arm pulling her across the table between them while holding a divination card menacingly. The caravan is decorated in eclectic trinkets and curtains with a stained glass window lighting the scene from behind

Trying a different style with my characters - making them younger and more cartoony! They traipse through a mysterious forest at night where spooky creatures lurk and hide. Bonnie leads with a flashlight, endre walks nervously behind and Wren takes up the rear. Glowing red eyes pierce the dark
