Happy #portfolioday! I’m Pseph (or Pastel), a freelance artist specializing in 2D art, illustration and character designs! I do originals, fan art, and also do a bit of animation :) You can find my Ko-fi for comms, other socials and contact email at linktr.ee/psephrain8 #art #fanart

My simple turnaround/anatomy construction sheet for my OC, Palette! A calico cat with green eyes in a bluish-purple cape, with a bow made of 2 paintbrushes with light purple tips, and a violet orb. She has on a matching violet collar with a golden bell attached to it.
The turnaround has her front, back, and side views in order. Below it are guides to her fur patterns, a sketch guide showing her construction and height relative to how many of her own heads tall she it, a and a couple sketched poses- one of her swinging her sword, and one of her posing with the victory hand symbol and winking

A character portrait I did for the game JRoguePG on Steam! This one is for the female Elementalist class.
She has medium-brown skin, hazel eyes, dark blue hair, and a colorful outfit with red, blue, pink and gold details. She holds a prepared fireball in her hand.

An original illustration I did, of a little reaper cat on a colorful, ethereal hill, watching a torrent of souls fly upwards in a winding trail. The sounds are in all different bright rainbow colors, matching the flowers blooming on top of the hill by the reaper’s feet. She wears a dark blue cloak and hood, and her wispy tail, feet and face are made of shadowy dark purple material. Her glowing red eyes pierce through the darkness, but not maliciously. She holds a big scythe with one big blade and one smaller one underneath it.

My fan art of a dessert-themed Hydrapple (Pokemon)! All of Hydrapple’s heads are out, all with different expressions, ranging from happy, to hungry, to loud, to curious. The apple base is decorated like a luxury gourmet candied apple, with layers of caramel and different types of chocolate. There’s also peanuts, sprinkles, whipped cream and apple slices adorning it

DELTARUNE TOMORROW (read: 2 weeks) Reposting some of my doodles I’ve done in celebration! #fanart #deltarune

My doodle of Kris, Susie and Ralsei from Deltarune! Susie and Kris are posing together for an invisible camera, with Kris holding a ball of moss flat in their hand, and Susie grinning while holding Kris’s shoulder and flipping off the camera. A textbox above them reads:
“You pose with Susie and the MOSS BALL.”
Ralsei is in the back holding a slice of cake on a plate, looking at them in shock at the rude gesture and exclaiming “H-Hey!!!”

A doodle page I made of Spamton from Deltarune (feachur-ing Tenna as well)! There’s one colored pose of him up in the top left, cradling a pipis while a note next to him reads “He is NOT okay”. One doodle is a slight top-down shot of him saying “KRIS…” while the words BIG and SHOT reflect in his glasses. Another doodle is him laughing like a lunatic.
And at the bottom of the page is a couple scenes of him and Tenna. The first shot is Tenna holding Spamton up to his face by the back of his shirt, thinking to himself “…Is this who I think it is???”
Only for his thoughts to be interrupted by Spamton suddenly hissing loudly and flailing around, causing Tenna to drop him and go “EEK!!! MIKE, GET A BROOM!”

My colored doodles of Jevil, Queen and Lancer from Deltarune! Jevil is practicing his bullet tricks, Queen is confidently holding up a glass of acid, and Lancer is holding a controller, digging holes in a video game.

I am so unbelievably hyped for this!!! Hopefully I can draw more of these, but here’s a Reapurr doodle to celebrate first! #fanart #cassettebeasts

This one’s a personal piece! I’d had the idea for this one sitting around for awhile, but every time I tried drawing it, I just couldn’t get it quite right. Until now :) #art #colorful #monochrome

My artwork depicting a little ghostly spirit cat, shaded with rainbow colors and holding a glowing rainbow heart, traveling along a path in the woods.
In a radius around them, the forest trail is serene and colorful, with lush grass, berry bushes, butterflies and a sturdy tree trunk at the side.
Outside of the radius, the world is rendered in harsh monochrome. Brushstrokes and lines are quick and violently scribbled into the shapes of a disaster-torn forest, with half the same tree cracking apart, the path behind the cat crumbling into the void, and a house being lost entirely in the background.

Look at all that smiley goop!! I was near the end of Pokopia’s main story when I made my piece for this, and had such a specific vision of what I wanted, it led to me making a whole new watercolor brush, LOL Go on and support all the other cool artists who participated too! :D #fanart #pokemon

My drawing of a Ditto (pokemon)! They’re “wearing” the trainer hat from Pokopia, and holding a block of field grass, ready to do some conservation work!

I had some wild dreams the other night, but in the middle I got a glimpse of a pretty cool creature design that I tried to draw when I woke up! Weird tarantula-butterfly-beetle-horse, lol Stuck to sketchy pencil for the rendering on this one too and it turned out pretty nice! #art #creaturedesign

A creature design I came up with and drew! It looks like a black horse, with curly dark hair for its mane and tail. The hair falls over one set of eyes (it has 3 on each side, one big one, two small ones underneath) on the face but the yellow glow of them still shines through. It has a set of small butterfly-like wings where its ears would be, as well as bigger ones on its actual back, which are black with semi-transparent segments in the middle that are a gradient of blue to green.
The creature has dark floof around its neck and legs, all *6* of them. It has 4 normal horse legs, and then two extra arms further up its neck, kinda like velociraptor arms, to bring food up to its mouth. It also has tarantula-like feet and claws instead of hooves.

Finished drawing the eeveelution shopkeeper family in my PMD fan-story world! I designed Euphoria awhile ago, since she’s a guildmaster, but decided I wanted to try a slightly different art style for this stuff in particular and redrew her too! I like how it turned out :) #fanart #pokemon #pmd

Page 1 of my colored sketches of my Eeeveelution family designs for my own PMD fan story!
From left to right, top to bottom:
Jubilance (Jubi) - Female Espeon in a pair of Wise Glasses and a crescent moon necklace
Turmoil (Momo) - Genderless Umbreon with a tight red ribbon wrapped around their neck, and a bell attached. They seem to be slightly flickering, like they’re MADE of darkness
Exhilaration (Exhi) - Male Jolteon with a mischievous grin and two Power Anklets on
Bereavement (Bev) - Female Vaporeon with decorative seashell and Mystic Water earrings, looking sad/worried
Ire - Male Flareon, much larger in size and stature, with a scarred face, hard glare and a Power Band on his left arm
Peace - Female Leafeon with a very friendly expression, flowers adorning her head, a bouquet in her paws and a little backpack with a Miracle Seed for a button
Tranquility (Quiet) - Genderless Glaceon with a stoic expression and ice starting to freeze over their left paw and leg

Page 2 of my colored sketches of my Eeeveelution family designs for my own PMD fan story!
From left to right:
Guildmaster Euphoria (Euphie) - Female Sylveon with a guildmaster’s badge pinned to her neck bow, and a purple mask covering her mouth with a little smile and blue sparkles embroidered on (she has to wear this, or letting loose a Hyper Voice could cause MASSIVE damage)
Cocoa Bean (Happiness) (Coco) (Beanie) (Choco) (Sugar Addict) - Female Eevee brimming with energy and excitement, with a cute little bow on her right ear designed to look like a Rare Candy

Finished a turnaround and big expression sheet for Palette recently! Plus a little bonus doodle comic :) #oc #art #comic

My new turnaround sheet for my character, Palette! A calico cat with green eyes in a bluish-purple cape, violet collar and a bow made up of a purple orb with paint brush tips sticking out of either side, covered in lavender paint. The turnaround sheet has her front, both side, and back views. As well as her fur patterns for front and back when the cape isn’t covering them, her color swatches, character height (roughly 1 and 3/4 of her own heads tall), and a couple extra poses- one of her swinging the sword and holding the shield she uses to change its element, and one of her winking and holding up a peace sign!

A bunch of different doodles expressions for my character, Palette!

Part 1 of 2 of a short little doodle comic, of an exchange between my characters Palette and Prince Nord.
Palette: Hey- you’re hurt! How did that happen?!
Nord: O-Oh! I…I uh…
Nord:…Was practicing combat, and…I…tripped on a rock…
Palette: ………….
Nord: …(here comes the lecture…)
Palette:…heh…

Part 1 of 2 of a short little doodle comic, of an exchange between my characters Palette and Prince Nord.
Palette: HAHAHA!
Nord: !
He’s looking at her in surprise, because he’s never seen her laugh so genuinely.
Palette: What? Something on my face?
Nord: N-No! No! Just…relieved you aren’t mad.
Palette: Mad? At the rock, maybe. It should watch its back.
Nord: Are we adding “rock maneuvers” to my regimen?
Palette:…Not the worst idea.
