I'm sorry everyone, 3 days left & not even close to 3000 left alone 3500. I wanted to get this printed but it just isn't working. I don't know if I'll try again with KS. I'll most likely stick to a small print run instead, release in the summer? I'm still trying but I'm getting ready to fail.

A digital illustration of a purple, green, and grey-blue themed bookshelf. The book shelf is filled with old tomes, Victorian inspired knick-knacks such as keys, teacups, candles, and a flask of a potion. On one of the shelves there is a framed picture of an anatomical human heart, along with a skull resting on a stack of books. On another shelf, there is a bust of Diana the Greek goddess.

2 portrait illustrations side by side.
1. Digital illustration divided into 3 main panels.
Panel 1: bordered like a cathedral window frame. A nobleman worriedly tends to his wounded knight. The nobleman reaches up with his handkerchief to wipe blood off the knight's face. The knight has his eyes closed.
Panel 2. bordered like a medieval pennant banner. A close-up of the nobleman's face. He looks up at his knight in worry, but in also something like awe.
Panel 3: bordered like a medieval pennant banner. A close-up of the knight's face. His eyes are open and intense, staring at his nobleman. The nobleman wipes the blood off his knight's cheek with a white handkerchief.
Around the outside of these three panels are little illustrations and motifs. A swan and a fox representing the two characters. A sword surrounded by flowers and vines. Stars. Daisies (meaning innocence and new beginnings) and edelweiss (meaning complete devotion) flowers.
2. A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels.
Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry.
Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion.
Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it.

2 portrait illustrations side by side.
1: A digital illustration. Elegy is a warforged barbarian inspired by Gothic cathedrals. She stands nobly in the centre, her arms crossed elegantly in front of her. Elegy holds a bright red sword to her. She is surrounded by a Gothic cathedral arch.

2: The cover for the book The Need for Dandelions by Alex Larkspur.
Two men stand back to back surrounded by depictions of dandelions. The man angled to the front is Galen. He has tan skin, red hair, and hazel eyes. A large portion of his face is covered by a burn scar. He wears a yellow tunic and brown pants, along with a pink flower pendant. He lifts up one hand, and looks concerned. The other man, facing towards the back but looks over his shoulder, is Sasha. He has light brown hair, dark brown eyes, and stubble. He is wearing leather armor and green shirt and pants. He is holding a sword.

An illustration inspired by the game Disco Elysium. It shows Kim and Harry sat at a table playing a boardgame: the boardgames features important characters and people of interest to the Hanged Man case (the case they solve over the course of the video game). Kim holds a card and looks determined while writing down notes in his notebook. Harry looks thoughtful, his hand reaching for a set of 6 sided dice.

Hi #PortfolioDay! We’re Ted & Ro, and we write and draw comics. Most recently known for the #WorstManOGN and the recently-announced DreamBound through Vertigo! We’re busy at the moment, but definitely looking for cover work in the next few months.

The cover to Worst Man. A handsome, skinny white guy with red hair, wearing a red suit, black shirt and orange tie is front and centre, toasting the camera. He's clearly been caught by a burly guy with olive skin and black curly hair, who's wearing a purple suit jacket, white shirt and purple tie. The burly guy is sat in a gigantic wedding cake, with the implication being he fell backwards into it catching the skinny guy. As a result the cake is collapsing around them, but the skinny guy's foot is holding up the cake topper, which is cartoony representations of a bride and groom.

The DreamBound cover. Protagonist Aisling is lying seductively on a crescent moon, her hair drifting lazily up while her dress becomes cloud around the base of the moon. Orion is also on the moon, leaning over her as she strokes his face; Xavier is sat on the clouds, pretending to look disinterested but also stroking her leg in a slightly possessive way

The cover for Justice League: Dream Girls 2. The Key is hunched over a small set, puppeteering dolls of Dreamer and Galaxy to fight

The cover to Harley Quinn 60. Harley is dressed as Bat-Quinn, and is posing on a gargoyle in an unhinged manner that is as close as she gets to brooding

A snippet from a larger piece showing a group of people digging up a big stone head and some smaller atrefacts. Some people are drawing. There are goats as well.

A drawing of some items arranged neatly: A tortoiseshell comb, a blue ribbon, a notebook with paper scraps, two keys, a sealed letter, a knife or letter opener (ornate), a majolica bottle with a blue bird design, a pencil with a pencil extender, some sweets, and a string with coins threaded onto it.

A drawing of some things you might find in a kitchen: a tea towel, a bundle of herbs (parsley, thyme, sage, bay), two wooden spoons, some butcher's twine, a cutting board, a big knife, a candle stub on a little plate, a ceramic jar, some cardamom pods, a garlic bulb (bisected).

Three small drawings: One of a shrine under a pine tree with a stone inside, one of a salamander on the forest floor, one of a coastal path with stone steps, two tall trees, stone columns and two hikers in the distance. The overall feel is very late summer to early autumn.
