Happy #portfolioday 🎪✏️I'm Lu, a clown school drop-out and enthusiastic OC artist / writer! Currently I am working on stories I wish to tell and drawing other folks' OCs!! I thrive on community and uplifting other artists (and myself!) 😩🙏🌹 #artistsky #ocsky

A character reference sheet for Beloved Aurum, a green tiefling warlock. The top row of the sheet features the following:

A portrait of Beloved with his head cocked, looking at the viewer and resting his cheek against the back of his hand. There is a comedy / tragedy mask holding a flowy piece of parchment where the name - Beloved Aurum - is written.

2 figures of the same character in the same pose, hand on one hip and the other curled up. He has curling ram horns with silver adornments towards the points, BIG fluffy blonde hair that runs down his back. He has 2 pact marks for his 2 different patrons - one on his face resembling flames around his jawline and on his forehead, the second is thorns climbing up his right arm. There are scars on his stomach and his left forearm.

The left figure he is in his binder and underwear, the right figure he is in his (latest) adventuring / performer outfit. A ruffled blouse with a leather collar around his neck, leather arm guards and a corset / belt around his waist. He is wearing rose, stripped trousers and thigh-high boots with silver guards/embellishments.

2 Chibi heads of his two patrons. The eldrith horror that is Mallacht, a curse upon Beloved and Crowe, the Alderking, an archfey who made a deal with Beloved under mysterious circumstances. Beneath them are 3 different blades associated with or carried by Beloved - the first is a jagged weapon with an eye and strange, flame-like tendrils (named The Tormented Sleep, a cursed blade). The second is a standard looking dagger named Ol'Reliable and beside it are two throwing knives.

Under the two main figures on top is a doodle of Beloved performing aerial arts, silks to be specific with his legs split above his head and back bending to grab the silk before his face.

To the left near the bottom is a written blurb about Beloved with (flame shaped) his colour palette beneath. To the right at the bottom are his stats in d20 shapes.

Portrait of Beloved, a green tiefling warlock with a dagger in his hand and both hands up towards his face. There is blood on the dagger and a small cut on his cheek.

A purple background with strand, star-like eye shapes floating behind him.

Doodle page featuring the bard Honey-Luck Wander and ranger Spike. The first doodle to the left is of Honey leaning over the bartop with Spike waving awkwardly behind them. There is a speech bubble bordering them saying "Hello! - A drink for me and my fine friend, please!"

The doodle to the top right is of Spike leaning over Honey and kissing them, while Honey's head is tipped back and their hand is at his cheek holding him in.

Below this is a doodle of Spike lifting Honey up like a princess whilst they gaze into each other's eyes.

Piece for @piezer0.bsky.social 🍂🐍 thank you for trusting me with these CUTIES #artistsky #ocsky

Two characters dance together on a night sky blending into autumn colours which match the leaves framing the piece in the foreground. The couple presented are smiling happily at each other, both enjoying this step of their dance with one standing infront of the other as though being guided in a spin. The character on the left is adorned in fall colours with long hair that goes from a yellowish to orange hue. On the right the character is more blue and purple leaning, with purple skin and blue clothes. Across his shoulders is a purple snake who is also looking on with joy.

Cropped close-up of the faces of the characters described in the bigger piece (to the left of this post)

Dropping a new track from our Wide Wide River project, this is a dark newgrass / progressive rock tune. Our banjo player Foster usually wants to just blend in but did an amazing job on this song. #MusicSky #ArtistSky #Newgrass #DarkNewgrass #ProgRock #MysteryofLife www.youtube.com/watch?v=K….

Experimental magic piece for @maxierat.bsky.social >:3c thank you again for letting me play around with this! #artistsky #ocsky

A shirtless drow figure stands with a stand extended to the left of the piece, powerful blue magic is erupting around the character and down his weapon. The magic is jagged and lightning-like.

✨ A question to people who commission art... why do you do it? What makes you want to get more custom art? Is it just for the joy of collecting? 🤔💭 #artistsky #art #chibi

A chibi illustration of a smiling girl. She's sitting on the edge of a small grassy cliff, her legs hanging just above water. She's looking up at some white butterflies, smiling in awe. She's holding a weaved basket on her lap, with a small panda inside. There is a lot of autumn-colored greenery around her, and a small portion of ornamental fence behind her back.

#artistsky digital artists: what's an art tip or art feature that's has been a game changer for you? Mine is correction layers for gradient maps and adjusting contrast/saturation/brightness/ etc.
