Hey #portfolioday! I'm Carson, a Chinese Canadian artist making traditional and digital art. I've made art for video games, album covers, logos, t-shirts, emotes, and animated emotes. Here's some traditional paintings I've made up on the spot in ink and watercolour without planning or pencils!

An ancient ox covered in moss, growing foliage, and mushrooms, drinking from a glowing pool of water in a dark forest

An ink and watercolour illustration of two characters hiding behind a large tombstone looking carved structure as a huge creature looms overhead.

An ink and watercolour illustration of a woman wearing decorative gold and blue armour and purple clothing. She's got a little animal friend on her shoulder that looks like a cross between a ferret and a pangolin. It also has longish ears.
Also, there's arrows flying past, around, and through her for some reason.
