happy #portfolioday! i’m ginger or alaina, a hobbyist who is planning to apply to medical illustration graduate programs next year! i paint traditionally and digitally, focusing on either referencing from life or drawing fanart of critical role and my own dnd campaigns 🗡️🐉🔥

a watercolor master study of peter paul ruben’s wolf and fox hunt, depicting timmony’s hounds of the king in combat against argosian knights during the war of axe and vine. the colors are vibrant and the composition is crowded. the background is a splash of pink clouds against a blue sky above a wide field of grass. the combatants, from left to right: a man, fear in his eyes, watches his comrade in red and a brimmed hat aim a spear towards an irish wolfhound. below the spear is sir marten, a fox-like dog who snarls with his tail between his legs. rearing above him is a brown horse with an armored rider wearing blue, who swings another spear around to stab at the wolfhound. the wolfhound, sir groveland, holds the first man’s spear with one paw and gnaws at its head with his teeth. behind him are three more men, wielding a spear, club, and hunting horn respectively. alongside him is his comrade, sir hawkins, a brindled mastiff who barks with all his teeth exposed at the grey stallion rearing above him. to his right is the dame morgaine, a border collie, and beside her is sir cavalier, a greyhound. the man astride the stallion wears green and wields a rapier, blonde curls tumbling down his partially-armored back. behind him is a figure with a full helm astride another horse who is lost to view. on the ground below the hooves of the grey stallion is sir felltower, a corgi, who snarls up at the stallion’s ankle
