In a crowded market in a little town, Arthur is looking at a merchant's product, oblivious to what Elhyana is doing walking past him and stealing one of his map in a very slick way

Hello #PortfolioDay ! I'm Nozomi, a freelance illustrator! I love working on anything fantasy themed. 📧nozomi.matsuoka@yahoo.com ✏️https://cara.app/nozomi

A man sits in his study, contemplating a dark, box shaped artifact, while a dark spirit looms behind him.

This was a commission work done for JacenLandry

Commission work done for YeetMaur

A dark skinned man with dark brown hair and a beard framing his jaw, dressed in a white robe and dark brown pants crouches with one hand on the ground as he swings at demons with his katana. The enemy demons are dressed in red rusting armor that looks worn and damaged. The scene is set in a bamboo forest with a path cutting through it, red banners on either side of the road. It appears to be in the afternoon, with a rich orange glow streaming in between the bamboo.

A woman with pale skin, white hair in two braids, and delicate gold tattoo on her face floats in the night sky with a full moon and starry sky behind her. She is wearing a thigh length purple dress with long sweeping sleeves. There are glowing blue lines etched on the fabric of the dress, and two ribbons of light with geometric patterns are trailing behind her. A ring of magic with glowing orbs is circling around her as she floats.

In the middle of the night, only lit by the moonlight shining through the curtains of the richly decorated study, there she was.
In her thief outfit, red and black, with all the lockpicking tools at the ready in special pockets design just for it, and a few weapons because you never who you might encounter on the job.
She's crounching in front of the beautifully ingraved wooden chest about to pick the lock when she think she heard something and is checking behind her...

Digital illustration of a dragon in the stars. The body of the dragon is long and sinuous, appearing almost as if it is created from the galaxies around it as it twists through the sky. It's head rears back and behind it is a spiral galaxy, nestled between two long horns. The two front arms pull a thread of glowing magic from the galaxy.

Spell card: Detect magic
Ripples of magic flowing through the environement, an apothicary's cabinet, highlighting magical items with different colours depending on the school of magic
Honestly, very proud of this one it looks pretty damn good

Spell card Bardic Inspiration
Showing my character in the background singing and playing the lyre while a little wave of magic empower the other member the party, and middle age man in armor

Spell card Calm emotion
Small wave of musical magic calming a young man, looking refreshed
He's usually very stressed and tired, so thanks to the spell he looks at his best and is actually handsome
This was a little gift to my party member's character

Spell card Charm Person
And very strong woman looking all sweet and smitten dreaming of a wonderful and cosy place
She's usually scary and intimidating, it was fun to show a completely different side of her

I know that usually if you hang around long enough you "get it" eventually, but here's some quick explainers about different types of posts going around for art. A lot of new people reply to art trains or halt the train by not copying text, so here's the difference!

Art train vs art share for now Bluesky users with visual aids. The left has an "art train" post that says "You are “putting a train car” on the train. Do not reply. Instead, use the quote repost to keep the train moving! Copy the last person’s text." The center reads "You are “putting a train car” on the train. Do not reply. Instead, use the quote repost to keep the train moving! Copy the last person’s text. TAG SOMEONE if the train calls for it or else you will end the train! “Tag yourself if you want” won’t cut it." the last reads "You are sharing your art. Following the rules of the art share (read them all!), reply with your art and comment/repost other’s art." It gives notes in the posts as well such as noting similar text for the art train, and then the specific set of rules for an art train with tags and art share.
