Hello #PortfolioDay I'm a French freelance artist who likes painting fantasy, disabled and queer characters, mostly digitally but I've been branching back into traditional lately. I also draw cute queer dragons! I'm open for book covers, book illustrations, general commissions, ttrpg, etc

Trying something with a limited palette: complementary colors, five values of each. I'm still deep in cdrama hyperfixation xD #art

What do you mean, you're supposed to close one sketchbook before opening another one?

Three sketchbooks on top of each other, decreading in size. The top one is opened on an ink sketch of a person holding their head with flowing hair.

Birds I saw on vacation, engraved on milk carton, printed with a pasta machine. Egret, sacred ibis, cormorant. I'm really enjoying this method, it feels very organic and fun. #art #engraving

I had my camera on me, which has a better optical zoom than my phone. Ibises aren't at all native from here, apparently there are a few families around descending from escape captive birds.

I was setting up to paint on a beach in Brittany when a lady walked up to me, "There's an ibis over there! I've never seen one here before!" She had some shaky photos on her phone. I walked up closer and there he was, calmly posing and walking around, I was able to draw him without hurrying #art

I didn't have any solid idea today so I just went on Pinterest and sketched whatever came up first, and tried to get an interesting composition out of it. My Pinterest is currently somewhat Themed xD I should play this game more often, it was a lot of fun. #art #sketchbook

First time trying a pause art challenge (with @samdoesarts.bsky.social 's on insta) and I severely underestimated how hard it would be to draw them in acrylic markers, but it was so fun!

Digital painting of Jin Guangyao bowing, offering a cup of tea with an ominous smile. He has a bloody guqin string in his hand. Light is coming from behind him, and you can see the statue of his mother as a Guanyin with many arms and the exact same face.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm a French freelance artist who loves to paint light and moody scenes, especially fantasy. I draw a lot of queer and disabled characters. Always looking for #freelance work in illustration, book covers, anything that lets me stretch my skills! And also to make friends!

- Digital painting of Jiang Cheng holding an umbrella under the rain and wielding Zidian, a purple electric whip. He is in the shadows except for his eyes. The moon is visible above.

Digital painting showing three characters flying up with mechanical wings, with a city under a glowing dome in the background. The first character, a woman with mid-tone skin and long dark curly hair, wearing a brown robe, reaches out toward the camera. She's holding the hand of a light-brown skinned man with short dark hair wearing brown overalls, both looking happy. The third character is a man with light skin and light brown short hair, wearing a leather jacket with chains, who looks terrified. It is nighttime, with a hint of dawn light coming through.

- Digital painting of a light-skinned character with chin-length hair tilting their head up, eyes closed and looking peaceful. A very large moon hangs in the background, and the whole painting is in blue, night-time tones, with fog at the bottom.

I realized that my sketch brush was actually encouraging me to do lineart instead, which is terrible because I just kept drawing and erasing lines. So I opened the new Procreate brushes and there are some cool ones ! Characters are Vulture and Red from The Gray House (Maryam Petrosyan) #sketches

Four digital sketches on a Procreate screenshot, two full-body and two portraits, of two characters. One is a young man with long hair and a goth style, leaning on a cane and holding a cactus, with a lot of key jewelry.
