A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

A group of young adventurers approach a mysterious shrine where a sword emerges from a rock shrouded in mist. A key concept art painting by Andy Porter for Gardens Interactive's new game.

Hi #PortfolioDay ! I'm Vaelith, a french manga artist, trying to draw my own fantasy stuff, and mostly in traditional B&W. And I'm slowly getting back on drawing after a few months of standby !

Black and white drawing of a woman with eyes wide opened. She wears a skirt with black pants, a black shirt with long sleeves and a jacket with short sleeves. She seems to be in a position to run, her hair floating behind her, and a small part of it shapes into 2 long braids, joining in a jewelry.
The backcround is composed of white shapes resembling petals and a moon

Drawing of a woman. She has a mark on her forehead, and wears egyptian-inspired clothes. She has a cross as a head jewelry. She seems happy.
The background is composed of 2 lilies, one ungrown peony and one lotus

Black and white art.
Portrait of a hooded woman whose hair is loosen on the front. She has a serious and neutral face, with shadows on the left part.

Newt 👁️ @eyeofthenewt.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Hi #portfolioday I'm Charlie 'Newt' Borovský and I love folklore & tormenting characters. Got a lot of stuff as NDAs still but I have experience in TTRPGs + Book Covers / Interiors + Concept Art for animation & games. Booking for Spring Portfolio: eyeofthenewt.com Socials: linktr.ee/EyeOfTheNewt

a digifal illustration depicting a sunlit forest clearing on which a ruined fort stands. its built of white stone with ivy slowly overtaking it a d through out the image, there are a few goblins scattered, patrolling the grounds. the one we see most clearly, on the foreground carries a spear and a grin on his face.

three painted portraits side by side:
1- portrait of a brown haired pale man done in the style of an old looking oil painting. it is contained on a thin oval frame a d lit by a single point above. it shows a man wringing out his hands on a dirty rag. he is dressed in a worn white shirt, daek waiscoat and a pale yellow necktie. his hair is falling loosely around his face in a messy ponytail and gis face bears marks of decay. his eyes are glazed over like eyes of a corpse and he has the look of tightly concealed anguish on his face.
2- Digital painting of a pale, thin looking dark haired young man with a sad, contemplative expression, staring somewhere into space to the side. He's wearing early late georgian attire- white shirt, yellow cravate and a dark coat. His hair is chin-lenght and wind -toussled. His eyes are a very pale blue and he has small, dark lips with a prominent cupids bow. His nose is larghe, hooked at the end and thin and his eyes are big and downturned with heavy lids.
The painting is done in a loose painterly style, the background is a pale yellow and the portrait rests inside an ovel shape, with a dark grey colour being around it.
At the bottom there are a few inscriptions reading: "Andrei Croft", "England 1835", and in cursive in the middle there is a Like 12:2 quote in latin.
3-portrait painting of a dark skinned older woman with white hair and pearl earrings. she is wearing a victorian style green blouse embridered with flowers and is smirking slightly while staring at the viewer head on.

four illustrations side by side:
1-digital illustration of a witchy woman under a full moon holding a skull. she is wearing a loose dress, trinket jewelery, her skin is dark, reflecting the blue hues of the sky and her hair is in dreadlocks.
2- a painting showing a crazed village woman mid-transformation into a corvid demon. the light from the moon is red and she is levitating in a corn field, her body contorting and a crazed smile adorning her face.
3-a digital painting of a young girl in viking-style dress, sorrounded by a fluttering group of crows. The background is a foggy, cold, branble area of sorts with dried grass at her feet and her dress is a muted jean-blue. She has a woven belt, a pouch hanging off it and a fur cloak around her shoulders. there is some viking style brass jewelery around her neck. Her hair is blonde , tied back and she has short bangs. There is a determined exúression on her face and her fists are clenched as if getting ready to stand her ground.
At the bottom of the page, there is a copyright bar reading: © Studio Agate 2025, Shadows of Esteren: Dearg 2, Charlie "Newt" Borovský 2023 @EyeOfTheNewt
4-A thin vertical illustration in an Art Nouveau poster style depicting a small man in a paired dance with a dark horned figure. The devil is clad in flowing fabrics and furs, his skin dark grey. He is tipping the smaller man back, one hand supporting at the small of his back and the other intertwined with the other's fingers. Andrei is wearing a short with billowy sleeves, a green west and tightly fitting pants with white socks and fancy shoes. He has a shocked expression on his face as he's being tipped back and his medium lenght dark brown hair falls freely.
The background is made of intricate decorative designs and the text on top says: Saltiato Cum Diabolo.

physically, emotionally and mentally can't bring myself to share work for #PortfolioDay and that is okay! so I'm sharing a communal poster, made back in 2023 begging neighbors for help when I moved to Edinburgh - because the landlord wouldn't give me the code to the bin store.

for context these are 30 second concepts - but wanted to share a few thoughts and directions you could theoretically take, if you need any tips or tricks working in illustrator feel free to shoot me a message n' best of luck with the logo design! ⋆.˚

matt johns ༘⋆ @mattjohnss.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

like take a look at browser incognito mode icons - it's two circles and a simple hat shape - if you want to include many graphic elements or a graphic style you risk readability as the space gets busier and users question what they're looking at, if it's too detailed it risks looking dated etc. etc.

matt johns ༘⋆ @mattjohnss.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

thanks! yeah that's fair! they aren't formatted or simplified to vector haha video can be illustrated as simply as as a play button, a lot of design is context clues and clever design - really just depends on whether you lean into that or want to be as blatant as possible, there's room to play tho

matt johns ༘⋆ @mattjohnss.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
