Hey hey, #PortfolioDay 💚

I'm Ashley, an award-winning illustrator who works on book covers, TTRPGs, and tarot cards.

I'll be opening for work soon (subscribe to my mailing list on my site to hear first!), and am looking to do more book work in particular!

#MyArt | #Illustration | #DigitalPainting
An interpretation of the Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in which the knight is seduced by both Lord and Lady Bertilak. Here we see the knight in between the couple, head tilted back, eyes closed, as Lord Bertilak wraps a large hand around his neck and presses in close from behind. Lady Bertilak is pulling off his green belt with one hand, and reaching below to undo the lacing on his pants with another. The knight’s visible hand squeezes Lady Bertilak’s thigh tightly. A young woman in armor looks over her shoulder, sword in hand, eyes glowing with ethereal light. She stands in front of a stylized stained glass sunrise, pushing away the night. A young woman with reddish blond hair in a Victorian updo sits in an intricately carved stone throne. She looks with a mocking smirk at the viewer, and an elegant silver crown dangles from one hand. Monstrous hands with long black nails reach from behind the throne, and are scoring deep gouges into the stone.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says: Forget ChatGPT Flyers Say it with Broadsheets Unlimited fonts Stretch them Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason No whitespace Mix capital and lowercase Pointing hands (They're called manicules!) Don't be left behind Broadsheets are the future

Yes. Art and design have been so de-valued that the act of creating it has been deemed worthless. Meanwhile, the hypocrisy is an absolutely ravenous commercial hunger for art but zero willingness to pay for it.

Valuing artists enough to pay them more than poverty wages is the bare minimum.

Only 36 days until Halloween...

"Abyssal Ritual"
Oil on panel for @hitpointpress.bsky.social
Oil painting in dark teal and bright orange. The painting is of a dark forest with craggy trees. In the center there is a large glowing orange pit opening in the forest floor with strange bat-like creatures coming out. A girl in a flowing dress hovers over the glowing hole in a witchy pose. It looks like they're all having a pretty good spooky time.

Trying out a new medium (acrylic ink) and doing my first self portrait in 10 years! It’s a bit too pink, and I lost the white of the paper on the bottom lip, but I am pleased with the outcome! I still prefer watercolour 😂
Portrait of me in acrylic ink. I have dark curly hair with a lot of grey and blue eyes and a square shaped face

Digital painting. An old human skeleton lying on the ground, some parts of it are buried or broken, it resembles a fossil. The ground under it is a stone with a lot of ammonites in it, they are different in size and color, some are iridescent.

reminder too that not "pornographic" nudity gets also flagged as nsfw so not adult artists could be hidden as well!
tendermiasma.com Suzanne ✨🌑 @tendermiasma.com · May 30
If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post

Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

Lovely Anduin x Wrathion commission for @claretash.bsky.social 💖
Anduin and Wrathion in the warm light of the setting sun. Wrathion's back is resting against the white marble column, his hand is embracing Anduin's shoulder. Around them are white roses in bloom. The wind is playing with their hair and light fabric of the red cape.

"What beautiful creatures we have found in the bog! What lovely songs they sing."

A painting I did for the folk horror TTRPG "The Woods at Blight's Hollow" I co-created with Oli Jeffery, now available for pre-order 🧜‍♀️
Two gaunt, feminine humanoid creatures with luminescent skin and mermaid tails, each sporting 6 glowing eyes in alien looking heads. They sit in repose in a pond with glowing, shimmering water, in the woods at night. In the distance you can see a light in the window of a lone wooden cabin.

Oh hi. It's my birthday 🙂

I have to say that diving into acrylic painting and book illustration over these last few years has been incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy learning more, painting more, and getting older really is quite great!
Cover illustration for "Fusion Fragment" showing a portrait of a woman facing upwards, as a mirror shatters around her. The mirror shards all show eyes of other women trapped within them. Two mask shards are also falling around her face, inspired by Japanese kabuki masks, representing her mixed heritage. Acrylic painting showing Sauron's defeat by Lúthien and Huan at Tol-in-Gaurhoth Book interior illustration for "Fangs for Nothing", showing the MC Winnie in a castle hallway. The scene takes inspiration from Gothic horror and Gothic romance movies, from the nightgown design to the candelabra. A black cat hides behind Winnie's leg, a vampire hides in a dark doorway, and the red candlelight reflects of a suit of armor and several empty painting frames. Acrylic character illustration for a fantasy book commission. The two characters are shown in a sparse, partially destroyed ice palace hall. Both characters have unnaturally pale skin and are clad in black.
