In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands. 
The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention.

Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles.  On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane. 

Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury.

Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

a character sheet with a portrait of the character, a blonde woman with a scar on the right cheek, and 4 hairstyle variations on the right side. Her name, Ariane Nehel, is written on the side.

A character sheet of the same character as the two previous images, a blonde woman called Ariane Nehel. On the right side, there's three variations of her expression. On the left side, there's the character in late 18th century/early 19th century sailor's clothes, as well as a variation without the coat on the bottom, and her weapons with a description.
The text reads : " Ariane was born in a provincial noble family in western France around 1770, under the name โ€œAstrid de Vaumantโ€. She was forced to marry a rich bourgeois to salvage the financial situation of her parents, but during the French revolution, her husband denounced her parents after a finance-related dispute.
As noble-born, they were guillotined.
Astrid learned about her spouse actions and proceeded to avange her family, killing her husband in secret during the early days of the consulate... Pierre-Marie Desmarest, Fouchรฉโ€™s lieutenant, learned about it and gave Astrid a choice : work for Napoleon or die under the guillotine. She chose life, and changed her identity in Ariane Nehel.Now, she travels with a corsair crew, looking for conspirators that might hide on a remote island called Ygern..."
And the text above the weapons : "Ariane uses a variety of different weapons, depending on the situation. 
On the ship โ€œTheseusโ€, she conceals a pair of flint guns under her navy coat, as well as an out of fashion blade : she still uses a court sword from the middle 18th century, which was her father's weapon. "

Hello everyone ! I'm back with something that is very much outside of my comfort zone : a character design !

This is a revamp of Ariane, the main character of my story, done with a wide variety of processes (painting, photobash and a bit of 3d)
