Hey #PortfolioDay ! Im Tom and i paint fantastical landscapes and environments ☕ ko-fi.com/teneabron 🎨 cara.app/tenaebron

An ancient structure is ankered above woodlands in a circle of standing stones, a treck of pilgrims can be seen approaching through a clearing a sort of gathering site directly underneath. The Structure rises above the clouds into the nights sky, in the upper levels, back lit by a galaxy, lights can be seen in some windows. but surely no one can live up there?

A procession arriving at an invisble gate between two obsidian pillars, storns and watching crows around.

n the foreground a backlight figure seems to be studying a huge orb that hangs in the air like a planet, averything is bathed in light and dark and mist and all around levitate more spheres of different sizes.

In a red storm under a blue sun, two mongs aproach a standing stone, their heads bowed.

It's a neat trick! I tried a number of materials, most smudge and fade quickly or is too reflective. Since I don't want to varnish pages out of everything available here nice black pencils were the best.

Looks like I'm a bit late on the #portfolioday train. I'm Owen. I'm a graphic Designer with 20 years experience in a bunch of different areas. I mostly do TTRPG layout these days. Here's some of my work. owen@stgelaisdesign.com be.net/stgelais stgelaisdesign.com (coming soon)

A promo image of the CAPERS ttrpg featuring mockups of the core rule book both opened and closed as well as a character sheet and a custom deck of cards.

A spread from Entromancy: Definitive Edition featuring a photo-collage illustration on the left page of a robotic hand, and dimensional geometric shapes super imposed over an image of a shadowy figure with glowing eyes. The right page features a double column informational text layout describing the class known as "The Bionic"

A mockup of multiple open copies of the Omega Horizon core rule book open to 3 different spreads. The first features a reptilian alien race know as the Dachians. The left page contains a full page illustration of one of these characters with an overlay containing some basic information. The facing pafe contains more details about this race. The second book is open to the Chapter 7 intro spread. It features a full-spread, colorful, and chaotic illustration of some kind of sci-fi motorcycle race with a vehicle crashing and exploding in the background. There is a small overlay on the bottom of the right page that contains the beginning paragraph of the intro fiction for this chapter. The final book is open to one of the planet spreads. It features a full page illustration of space with a green and ochre colored planet centered on the left page. There is an overlay with more details about this planet but it is obscured by the first book which sits on top of this one. The right page contains further info about the planet.

Spread from Realmwalker TTRPG Ashcan edition. Features the "Characters" section introduction as well as the first step in character creation entitled "Step 1: Genus" It also showcases the first two "genuses" in the game, the "Endless" and the "Incarnates".

Wait, is it #PortfolioDay already? 💀 I'm Camila, concept artist and illustrator working in games and books. I love SFF and a touch of horror! My character work tends to get most attention, but I like variety and at heart I'm a bit of a generalist. 🖼️ cara.app/camilabrun 📨 info/@/camilabrun.com

Digital painting of a creature made of arms barging down a dark corridor. It's dark, with skin ridged like bark yet but smooth like obsidian, and embers rise from it. The hands don't look quite human, with weird joints and sharp tendons and knuckles. Its lower half is still forming, and there's an overturned brazier behind it spilling incandescent coal on the floor. It's holding most of its hands in menacing claw-like positions, with arms intertwined in the center forming the bulk of its body. It stands taller than a person, but isn't large enough to fully block the passage.

The corridor is flanked by tall windows in art deco style, with a gentle breeze blowing the translucent curtains. There are ornamental plants and wood benches by the windows. Some of the window panels are broken, and there are glass shards on the benches and floor. There's also dust spiraling in the air. The corridor doesn't seem well-kept, but hasn't been abandoned for long.

This artwork was made on Krita, with help of Blender mainly for lighting reference and the background.

An Indigenous woman emerging from a body of water. Only the top of her head down to the nose are visible. There's a dark forest behind her, and she's staring directly at the viewer with fixed intensity that suggests she might not be friendly. She's surrounded by stylized aquatic plants including Amazon's vitória-régias, a type of water lily. Insects are buzzing around and the reflection of the sky can be seen on the water. The scene's colors are very saturated, but somewhat dark and ominous.

She's Iara. Her legend is a mess, an attempt by colonizers to make sense of older Tupi and Guarani myths. In it she's the daughter of the Pajé, the spiritual leader of her people, and was known for her beauty and fighting prowess, respected by her father, beloved by all.

One night her brothers, deeply envious of her, set up an ambush. She fought back and accidentally killed them in the ensuing scuffle. Severely wounded and afraid of her father's punishment, Iara fled to the margins of the Negro and Solimões rivers (which feed the great Amazon river), but was found and thrown into it, drowning. The fishes took pity on her, and under the full moon they turned her into a mermaid.

Then the once fearsome warrior... apparently decided to sit on a rock, brush her hair and sing (and lure and drown men) like European sirens, hah.

2/2 - Flatten is also good for flatter planes, but if you really need something truly flat it's easier to model or boolean it *then* sculpt details - Elastic Grab and 2D Grab are great to adjust without introducing bumps Lastly, I hate that bsky gives us so few chars I have to break up replies. 😂

Camila Brun @camilabrun.com · 08/04/2025

1/2 - It's *very* hard to get smooth surfaces on higher resolutions, so set the dynotopo or multires res lower and only increase when you need details - I like clay strips to add/remove clay, it's predictable and flatter - I'll add clay and hit shift to smooth often so it doesn't build up messily

Sketchbook pages from 01-2024. It's from before I started using a color pencil for darker blacks or mixing acrylic paint, so it's a bit faded.

Photo of an open sketchbook with pencil sketches. It has studies of portraits of people mostly from early 1900s.

Page 1:
1. A girl with curly hair tied with a large bow looking to the side and smiling.
2. A dark-haired man with a moustache and a goatee(?) looking to the side.
3. A woman with a wavy bob cut smiling, with her mouth slight open as if she were talking at the time.

Page 2:
1. A young man wearing a cap and what seems to be a porter uniform. He has a serious expression.
2. A man with a pointy moustache, wearing a hat.

Another week, another portrait! This one is from November, with the "fun" fact it's actually repainted from an early 2024 thumbnail. I'm always low on storage and got a new HD last year that nuked itself one month in, as soon as I temporary moved some archived stuff to it to make room. 🥲

Hah, I'm always mindblown when told I have a style because I don't feel I have a strong one? It feels a mashup of a standard within a category and whatever I'm feeling up to at the moment. But I'm a terrible judge of my own work. 😂 Your work, though is amazing! Your lighting is so solid, I love it!

3/3 - Find or create a comfy matcap. This is the one I use, I like neutral colors and anisotropy to see planes better. Free download: ko-fi.com/s/522fa55057 The video I mentioned: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Wt... And proko's channels seem good, but no idea why he has so many.

A screen capture of blender's 3d interface with a sculpture, showing 3 different views of the same sculpture:
- A work view with a matcap
- A view slightly from the bottom, with material shading
- A second helper view using full shading and light

Camila Brun @camilabrun.com · 31/03/2025

2/3 Sculpting digitally on Blender, I'd add: - Set up multiple views of your sculpture, one matching the ref if any, one in profile or 3/4 and your working view. - If your PC allows it, use the viewport shading mode with actual materials and light in the auxiliary views. It helps a lot!

110

Camila Brun @camilabrun.com · 31/03/2025

1/3 (links at the end) It's though because I like to learn things trying instead of following guides. 😅 There's this video about real clay sculpting that's nothing extraordinary but shows things that help in 3d sculpt: - Go from structure to details - Get the profile right asap - Measure landmarks

Calling concept designers, if any are out there and know: I would like more books on fashion. I have DK Publishing/Smithsonian's FASHION, I have Who Wore What When, I have The Costume History (two-volume giant hardcovers). I have a decent Native American one. I also have a decent Chinese one...

Ack, I keep forgetting to post artwork! Hue practice from the end of last year. Gray shifts suit this skin tone exceptionally well.

Portrait painting of a girl in 3/4, looking off-canvas with a slight frown.

She's got a ponytail with a hint of her natural texture and dark skin of a rich cool tone with grays, purples and a touch of gold snuck into the hues.

By April I settled in using a black color pencil with a slightly damp tip for deeper blacks and a acrylic paint mixed to the exact shade of the paper, but lighter, for highlights.

Close-up of sketch 1, page 1, (elegant's woman mugshot). She was so pretty! I'm very happy with the blend of paint and hatching in this one.

A close-up photo of the portrait 2, page 2, (young possibly Latin-descendant woman with white bow) taken from a steep side angle to keep the acrylic paint highlights from looking grey in this lighting.

Close-up photo from portrait 4, page 1, (the Japanese envoy) because I loved his expression and want to show how I'm working the paint into the sketches.
