Hello! #portfolioday

My name’s Tyeese and I’m a Black freelance illustrator based in the U.S. I love drawing original characters (including my own) and mixing the mundane with the unorthodox. I do portrait/character work, and would love to do more comics and cover art

💻: tyeesemelton.wordpress.com
A digital illustration of my OCs Zion (a young Black man with a large afro and glasses) and L.E.D (a young man with a silver TV for a head) dressed in 90s-style clothing. L.E.D has the word "Yo!" written on his screen. The title "Computer Bros" is written in the top left. A commission I worked on of a man dressed in a western cowboy outfit wielding two gold pistols, with a pet rooster near his feet. He's pointing one of the pistols to something off-screen. A digital illustration of a Black woman with glasses holding a large stack of books. A couple of the books are falling from the stack. A digital illustration of five young superheros I made as a commission for a friend's Masks campaign. From left to right: an orange skinned alien with shaggy hair wearing a grey jumpsuit, a white character with flames coming out of his hair and hand, a brown character wearing an intricate black super suit and goggles, a brown character wearing a hoodie, jean vest, a beanie, and a superhero mask, and a white character wearing a magenta superhero suit, cape, and a half-skull mask with horns and fangs.

hey guys, might need a little help again. I need a break... I've decided that once I'm finished with my current batch of comms I'll be closing up shop til after new years. I don't have many funds to fall back on so if any of you would be so inclined to donate to my ko-fi I'd really appreciate it 🥺🙏💜

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:
A post by c.a.t.y.a.y that reads, "I wonder what my art could've been if I didn't quit". Iggy responds, "I wonder what it will be if you start again"

The PDF version of the Uncanny Valley USA Fan Artbook is now available for viewing! Over a dozen artists contributed art to this beautiful gift that we got to present to Key in Brooklyn.

Please enjoy it:

The cover of Picture Frame: A United States Fan Artbook; Keyland 2025; Edited by Kori Michele Handwerker with SHINee USA. A painted cartoon illustration of Key (in his Tongue Tied Blue and Black Suit) standing in a gallery with five large paintings in ornate frames on the wall. He is holding CommeDes and a gallery map while Garcons sits on the floor admiring a painting. The wall is blue, with reflective wooden floors and red standing barrier ropes. The frames are populated with different artist's work. In the centermost frame is a drawing of Key as the demon from Hunter promotions, in extreme close up.

Im proud of you. You are doing the best you can as an artist in a time where people dont appreciate human art anymore. We are all struggling, but we are struggling together. We got this, and I believe in you.
Don't let the hard times crush your creativity. ♡

No notes
Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.

You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

Stop sharing AI slop.

It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.

But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

Computer Bros: Compliment

Yeah, these two know how to take a compliment

[ #computerbros #comic #webcomic #ocsky #compliments ]
A six-panel comic with my OCs Zion and L.E.D; L.E.D gets a compliment from a classmate about his head. The title “Compliment” is written on top of the top left panel, and the artist’s signature “Tyniamel” and year are on the bottom right. Panel 1: A short young woman with four curly ponytails in a clover shape comes up to L.E.D, a young man with a TV for a head, and Zion, a young Black man with a large afro and glasses. She smiles up at L.E.D and says “Hey, cool costume! I love you helmet.” Panel 2: L.E.D points to his head—with a picture of a helmet crossed out on his screen—and says “Thanks, but it’s actually-” Zion off-panel reaches out to grab L.E.D’s shoulder and he interrupts him by yelling “Ahem!” Panel 3: Zion looks at L.E.D with a serious face and shakes his head. Panel 4: L.E.D says “Oh right! Almost forgot.” The word “Whoops” shows on his screen in big, underlined letters. Zion closes his eyes and smiles satisfactorily. Panel 5: L.E.D turns to the young woman with his hands on his hips and says “Thank you for liking my helmet, which is definitely not my real life head!” A big thumbs up emoji with beams coming off it displays on his screen. The young woman looks at him with wide eyes, and a question mark is next to her. Panel 6: The young woman has a confused look on her face as she says “Um. You’re welcome?” Two chibi heads of Zion and L.E.D are off on the side; they’re both smiling. Zion says “Great job, man.” L.E.D says “Thanks!”

This sketch is of a banner idea that came to me not long after the concert announcement.

If you like it, hit me up and I'll make it for your city's concert. 😉✨
