Stylized fantasy character portraits arranged in a cohesive DnD party layout, featuring elves, tieflings, and human adventurers.

Celebrating 1st year campaign like that is such a cool idea honestly❤️
I’d totally be up for creating something special for your group. btw do you need individual portraits for each member, or more of a single group piece? And how many characters are we talking about?

btw happy birthday😸🎈🎊

culturally respectful while still ornamental.

I’m attaching a few pieces i’ve worked with symbolic detailing and dramatic lighting not anime based, more focused on mood and presence.

One thing that might really elevate this is designing the lightning + wind flow to follow the rib curve instead of keeping it vertical that way it’ll sit more naturally on the body
Also, instead of generic tribal patterns, subtle symbolic integration through jewelry or fabric detailing could keep it

I went through your whole thread and refs really strong concept.

From what I’m understanding, you’re aiming for a powerful Oya interpretation with authentic Yoruba influence, storm/wind energy, and dramatic lighting but keeping it non-anime and readable for underboob placement.

Since you're looking for that Veil Runners vibe, are you prioritizing character-focused concept art right now, or are you looking for someone to help build the overall environmental mood first?

I’ve done a fair bit of work in the MacroMicro space dropping a few samples below.
btw do you have a specific artstyle in mind ?

For the Goya mascot, are you thinking of a full body shift or just a focus on specific features changing across the frames? Mapping out the flow is the hardest part for these sequences, so it helps to know how 'deep' you want to go with the transformation.

Finding the right artist for a solid sequence is definitely a challenge. I actually just finished up a project involving character stages and progression..

I am so sorry for your loss. It's a beautiful way to honor your friend's memory.

I've tried to dm, but they seems to be closed buddy..

Have you thought about getting a Custom character instead? Instead of buying a premade design, you can give an artist your own specific details to create a character that is 100% your vision :)

I’d love to see what kind of visual direction you’re thinking for the logo getting that 'Symphonic' yet 'Pixel' balance right will be key. Let me know if you’d like to brainstorm some visual concepts!

A podcast dedicated to the people behind video game music is such a brilliant niche. There’s so much untold history there! Since you mentioned you're still in the branding phase,

Ngl, I’m a huge fan of GL, Kill La Kill and BNA too literally the reason I started drawing in this style. I’ve been trying to capture that same Trigger energy and those sharp lines for a while now.

Attached some of my work that hits that vibe.let me know if you think my style fits :)

It helps us artists get the personality right from the first sketch.

I do a lot of character design work from descriptions alone, so I’d love to help you bring her to life. Want to see some of my previous ref sheets for inspiration?

Creating a first ref sheet can definitely be a headache when you can't draw it out yourself! Your plan with hex codes and personality traits is actually spot on.

One tip: maybe include a few 'vibe' images for the character's expression or energy.

Seeing Stolas and Pearl in the same request is a dream! I’m a huge fan of both Helluva Boss and Steven Universe...

I'm honestly down😭

Have a look at your dm buddy..

It's a bit icky looking at successful musicians using AI for posters and artwork all the time. Surely you can afford to get an experienced artist in / make some art yourself / get your artistic friend to do something... or give an opportunity to a student etc?

Art is even more beautiful when shared with beautiful people 💕

I've been working on some creature and furry designs lately and would love to be considered 😭

I know you're looking for someone to help out for free, but if you can manage even a small budget, I’d love to offer you a special professional deal to help your show stand out.

I’d love to see if we can work something out that fits your needs without breaking the bank!

Deadlock podcast crossover with FE3H and Mass Effect? That’s such a wild vision, I love it! 😂

I can definitely nail that 'podcast screenshot' layout for you. Can I show you my portfolio to see if we can make this happen?

Congrats on the collection! 'Pain of Others' sounds like a great title. I saw you're looking for someone local, but if you're open to digital artists from the community, could I show you my portfolio? Would love to help with the cover!

Happy early Birthday! 🎂

Totally comfortable with artistic liberty on poses sometimes that’s where the best magic happens!
Sending some samples your way!

I promise most artists (including me!) don't bite. 😭 We actually get excited about 'funny little guys.' If you're ever looking for someone who won't reject your cute chibi ideas, my DMs are always a safe space! 💖

I'm mostly looking towards commissions! ;-; I've attempted to try and do coms in the past, but to no avail. I get it, though. It's kinda hard to market yo' self when there's been so many scams going on.

The struggle of explaining to your bank: 'No, it's not a scam, it's just art!' is the worst part of the hobby. 😭 This is why I always prioritize 'low friction' payment methods for my folks.
Stay strong, the art will be worth it! 🙌

The struggle is real! 😭 As an artist, I try to keep it as simple as possible for my clients because no one wants a math exam just to buy some art. What’s the biggest hurdle you’ve faced so far?

Oh, that’s actually much cooler than I thought:)
Now I’m even more curious about your OCs if you work with such poetic themes, your characters must have some amazing backstories! I’d love to capture that vibe in an illustration for you
