happy #portfolioday! i’m ginger or alaina, a hobbyist who is planning to apply to medical illustration graduate programs next year! i paint traditionally and digitally, focusing on either referencing from life or drawing fanart of critical role and my own dnd campaigns 🗡️🐉🔥

a watercolor master study of peter paul ruben’s wolf and fox hunt, depicting timmony’s hounds of the king in combat against argosian knights during the war of axe and vine. the colors are vibrant and the composition is crowded. the background is a splash of pink clouds against a blue sky above a wide field of grass. the combatants, from left to right: a man, fear in his eyes, watches his comrade in red and a brimmed hat aim a spear towards an irish wolfhound. below the spear is sir marten, a fox-like dog who snarls with his tail between his legs. rearing above him is a brown horse with an armored rider wearing blue, who swings another spear around to stab at the wolfhound. the wolfhound, sir groveland, holds the first man’s spear with one paw and gnaws at its head with his teeth. behind him are three more men, wielding a spear, club, and hunting horn respectively. alongside him is his comrade, sir hawkins, a brindled mastiff who barks with all his teeth exposed at the grey stallion rearing above him. to his right is the dame morgaine, a border collie, and beside her is sir cavalier, a greyhound. the man astride the stallion wears green and wields a rapier, blonde curls tumbling down his partially-armored back. behind him is a figure with a full helm astride another horse who is lost to view. on the ground below the hooves of the grey stallion is sir felltower, a corgi, who snarls up at the stallion’s ankle

AT LONG LAST I FINISH A COMM FROM THE PREV BATCH!!!!! comm of a very lovely and very sad goddess :) #art #commission

A color illustration of a client's OC, a goddess named Center. She is a woman with fair gold-hued skin with purple markings on her cheeks, closed eyes, and long flowing white-blond hair; she is wearing a white tunic-like gown with gold trim and a rope belt, gold accessories, and a crown of laurels. She is holding a sword thrust through her own chest as she weeps.
The background is an art nouveau-style graphic, primarily featuring reds + purples + golds, with celestial motifs accented by a large peony at the top.

⚔️ The Battle of Ghor Dranas ⚔️ Final battle of the Calamity, where the armies of the Prime Deities achieve their victory, reducing the Betrayer Gods’ stronghold to rubble. @exandriaartists.bsky.social #CriticalRoleFanart #RoleInitiative #Illustration

Digital painting of a fantasy war scene from dungeons and dragons web series Critical Role. Central in the composition is a heroic figure with white wings clad in golden armour riding a white horse and holding a gleaming sword above their head.

In the foreground are various members of the Prime Deities’ army, wielding swords, shields, bows and casting magic. They are charging away from the viewer.

In the background are the defending Betrayer Gods’ army, made mostly of devils and a green dragon. They charge towards the viewer and some sword fighting occurs where the armies clash.

In the far distance is the city of Ghor Dranas, which is under siege by flaming trebuchet fire. Atop the mountains behind the city is Tiamat, an enormous 5 headed dragon goddess.

The sky is filled with dark clouds, except for occasional beams of light which break through and illuminate the hero and the distant spires of the city.
