Portrait of a goblin looking over there shoulder, clutching a bunch of flowers a doing their best big beautiful smile

Roses are red,
the world can be bleak,
but here’s a goblin,
’cause it’s #goblinweek

That damned smile

Absolute banger

A digital portrait study of Jeon Wonwoo, member of the k-pop group Seventeen. Monochrome (desaturated beige to brown to black) study of a photo, trying to mimic traditional media of pencil and charcoal. He's portrayed from the side, looking at the camera over his shoulder. He's mostly placed in the shadow with a strong rim light (from the window off screen) lining his face. There's a vague depiction of blinds in the background behind him, with light coming from the left, and going further dark towards the right - setting the lighting of the scene and figure.

Comfort 💕
Jeon Wonwoo from Seventeen, my comfort zone.

A photo that shows on the right side a swan resting on the surface of a lake, under snow covered branches coming from the left side of the picture. In the background, out of focus snow-covered trees. The overall palette is very muted, blue-grays. The swan's warm white plumage and bright orange bill stand out.

A photo of a flock of eleven cackling geese flying out of thick fog in perfect V formation. In the bottom left, the top of a snow covered tree. The sky is very overcast and the overall color palette of the image is muted grays and blues.

A photo showing the surface of a lake. In the foreground, two tall branches stand above the water, and on the right side of the those branches, a swan sleeps, curled up on itself. In the background, snow covered trees. The overall color palette is very muted, mostly gray, except for warm glow of sunlight hitting the back of the trees and the surface of the water.

A photo showing, in the foreground, on the lefthand side, a swan and on the righthand side, gnarled branches of a dead tree above the water, seemingly reaching towards the swan. In the background, out of focus snow-covered trees. The overall color palette is very muted but a warm glow illuminates the whole image. A sliver of sunlight hits the surface of the water and illuminates the swan.

Digital painting of a dangerous looking four-fire-casting-armed woman with flaming curly hair, standing strong and menacingly looking at the viewer, eyes dark black pools with fiery pupils. She’s wearing red & black with golden accents: wide full length dark pants and a long red silk sash around her waist falling to the ground and kept in place with a leather belt; a cropped halter top layered with a broad golden ushek-like necklace leaves room for her two sets of shoulders to move freely. Painted by illustrator Lise Baron for Grafit Studio’s “heroes & villains” art contest.

Collage of various reference photos and cropped photos from Grafit Studio reference packs for artists, from a collection that was provided for their "Heroes & Villains" challenge. In the middle a frankensteined reference picture from parts found in the surrounding pictures.

Digital artwork. It is a wedding scene, the bride and the groom are both dressed in white and gold, they are surrounded by knights in armor holding their swords above the couple to form an arch. There is a flower arch behind them and flower petals are flying in the air.

Digital artwork, fanart of a game "The Talos Principle 2". A robot of red and white colors named Byron is suffering from some kind of malfunction while touching a computer panel. He is on his knees, not able to free his hand. In the distance another robot named 1K is rushing to help, but he is too late. They seem to be inside of a huge artificial structure, but the floor is filled with water, Byron and the computer panel are located on an island of rocks with some pine trees and plants.

Digital illustration. It's autumn, the day is gray, the leaves on trees and on the ground are golden yellow. A young woman sits under the tree at the edge of a forest and casts a spell - glowing golden magic around her, it's an illusion of a lot of things and characters, she seems to tell a story. Near her is a black horse that looks at the magic in awe. A cat sneaks behind the tree and looks at them too. Far in the background is a small town with colorful houses and some colorful fields near it, some light shines through clouds and lightens the town.

Digital artwork, fanart of the game "Baldur's Gate 3". Illustration of two mind flayers walking and holding tentacles instead of holding hands. The mood is calm and romantic.

An illustration painted for J.D.L Rosell’s “Legend of Tal: An Emperor's Gamble | The Deluxe Edition”. On the backdrop of a nighttime snowy forest we see two men in front of a campfire. Tal, the younger one, sits on a wooden stool with a hand covering his tear strewn face, while Kaleras rests a comforting hand on his shoulder.

A ladybug clad in an armor made of leaves and flower petals stands on a large white flower. They’re wielding magic wands, a spellbook and a shield made out of a seed husk. White war paint adorns their face and shield. They are casting fire spells against a horde of wasps.

An illustration painted for Krystle Matar’s “Legacy of the Brightwash – Special Edition”. An elderly man sits on an armchair in front of a fire stove. He’s dressed in ratty clothes and holds a tea cup in his hand. His other hand is playing with a bullet.

We’re in a pleasant forest setting, with lots of greenery and the sun peeking through the canopy. We see tree houses made of natural materials on the trees. A young, dark skinned elf is running madly towards the camera, laughing. He’s holding a chicken under one arm and a rope strung with strange berries in the other hand. A whole flock of chickens is following him, apparently crazy about the berries. The chaotic scene is being watched by two shocked bystanders.
