I just started another run of Baldur's Gate 3 so I decided it was finally time for me to draw all my Tavs. Here's my first one, I created her back in August, she's a Lolth sworn bard drow !

She's chaotic good and romanced spawn Astarion !

I'm learning how to use vectors so here's a first atempt at making an illustration with Inkscape ✨

I'm really happy with how it turned out, I had tried using Illustrator to make logos in the past but could never quite get the hang of it. Using Inkscape was so much easier than I expected and I'm really proud that I managed to push myself towards learning a new skill !

Tried something more "realistic" then my own style to challenge myself a little. I'm not the happiest with how it turned out (she looks kinda lifeless but oh well...), but I'm glad I managed to do something a little different. Looking back at what my portraits used to look like I'm still proud of how much I've improved since then though.

Another mermaid I made today ! She'll most likely be the last for this Mermay but if I find the time I might squeeze in another final one before the end of the month !

I'm opening commissions for emotes !

Here's a little exemple of what I can do, I'll probably post more examples later but in the meantime feel free to contact me if you're interested !

My family seems to have a specialty of being born in June so here's another illustration I made for another birthday coming up !

Here's a couple of the steps if you're interested :

I'm really happy with the final illustration but I also love the way she looks with just the flat background so here's both :

Do you have a favourite ?

A little something I did for my Mom's birthday ! I'll be making one for my dad too and then I'm getting back to mermaids.

Here's the pose I used for reference

I did scary mermaid before so here's cute pastel mermaid !

I've been having a hard time deciding what to do for my next artwork, trying different compositions, palettes, etc. Hopefully this is the one and posting some WIPs of it will keep me motivated !

Some sketches I made on the train for practice.

I like to pick whatever Pinterest throws at me and try to capture it in a couple minutes.

They're not perfect but good practice ✨

[nightforge-art]

Forgot it's May but here's my first Mermay piece ! Hopefully I have time to make a couple, I love drawing underwater scenes !

Also I haven't done any backgrounds lately so it was good practice.

I'm opening commission here slowly but surely. More formats will come with time !

Another fairy I made today !

[nightforge-art]

Wisteria is one of my favourite plants so of course I had to make a fairy inspired by it !

Another day, another fairy

[nightforge-art]

I'm making fairies inspired by different flowers and plants I like and I decided to start with Dandelions !
