A painterly illustration of A scene from Critical Role, Campaign 2. It shows Jester in owl form flying above Cree and Lucien as she steals a threshold crest from them.

This Lucien, Cree and Jester (owl!) piece still remains my favorite Critical Role piece I ever painted πŸͺΆ

It was a fun challenge to put them next to each other and make sure there's some nice visual variety across them

A digital painting of a "Swamp" in space. This one's about stars gone nova drifting towards oblivion like a bunch of waterlilies of explosive death.

A photo of a Magic card sized painting of Vannifar - she's an elven mage who's magicked herself into a part jellyfish. Here she is holding her staff and floating in front of a starry background.

Same painting, but tilted to show the effect paints - the gold trim on her costume is painted with gold, and all the jellyfishy parts are iridescent. I painted her facial tattoos with green interference paint, too, but they're so very tiny it's very hard to see them here.

Finished another sketch on the back of an artist proof - Vannifar! Acrylics + fineliners. 🎨

Hi #portfolioday πŸ’™

I'm Evelyne, painting with acrylics and watercolors...
Enamored with mythology, epic fantasy, gothic horror, and the color blue.

Looking for more book cover and interior illustration work for later this year.

Painting of a female warrior with horns and lizard tail launching a spear, next to her is a friendly crocodile creature with its mouth open. They are both half-submerged in water.

A (very overdued) artwork I've made during @abigbat.bsky.social's mentorship course!
He's such a stellar teacher and I learned so much after 8 weeks of study!

A drawing of a fantasy butterfly fey girl, she has pale blue skin, and is wearing a patchwork short dress that's yellow, cyan and red. She's also wearing mismatched socks and poofy sleeves with a little decorative poncho. She has a third eye and wears glasses, and there's a third glasses lens for the third eye. Her hair is done in long pigtail that are pinned back up into loops. She has antennae and butterfly wings, both of cyan/dark blue color.

It's been a while since I did personal art, and I made a new character! πŸ¦‹ Meet Vera, the unconventional lawyer witch responsible for risk mitigation in the Coven.

Character art of a woman with long wavy red hair. Her outfit is entirely black and red that matches her hair, with thigh-high leather boots and bishop sleeves. Black feathers with red tips sit on her shoulders like pauldrons. She's holding a long ornate sword with a red rim.

A dreamy, pastel-hued illustration of a long-haired woman tenderly holding a young child in her lap. They sit by a calm pink-hued body of water, surrounded by lush tropical plants and glowing flowers. Soft butterflies float through the air as the warm light of a full moon glows behind them, casting a magical and serene atmosphere.

Can you help me share this?

I would like to announce my first own artbook - part of the Artbox Series by @spiridude.com caurette editions
The cover features a reworked piece from 2018, one that we felt was perfect for this. And still… something about it didn’t feel like me anymore.
