Hi #PortfolioDay!
I’m Kafis and I’m Associate Art Director at Techland and illustrator for Magic: The Gathering and D&D.
I’m posting my art here but would love to see your work in the comments as I’ll be searching for artists to hire in the future! All kinds of game art are welcome! ✨
A dark skinned elven scout runs towards the camera. She’s just jumped out of an alcove in a city wall and she’s making her exit through the forest, startling all the wildlife around her.
We’re in a dense, green forest, with an old, mossy stone arch in the background. An orc druid in the middle of the scene is busy casting dual spells; she holds an orb of water in one hand and an orb of fire in the other, ready to unleash both in combat. Flowering vines are growing around her feet and ankles.
A ladybug clad in an armor made of leaves and flower petals stands on a large white flower. They’re wielding magic wands, a spellbook and a shield made out of a seed husk. White war paint adorns their face and shield. They are casting fire spells against a horde of wasps.
We’re in a futiristic luxurios apartment, with a glowy tree in the middle. A young agent wearing a combat armor is crouching behind a terrarium.
Hi Kafis,
I always love seeing your art!
Thank you for the opportunity as well, I'd love to get to work together at some point. :)
Here are my portfolio, contact, and some art samples:

Illea - An illustration painted for Krystle Matar’s “Legacy of the Brightwash – Special Edition”. A beautiful woman dressed in rich yellow silks stands regally in a hallway. Behind her we see a wall with wood panelling, green wallpaper, and large paintings with golden frames.
Jason - An illustration painted for Krystle Matar’s “Legacy of the Brightwash – Special Edition”. On a foggy, cold day, a young Asian man is tending to a vegetable garden. He’s dressed in threadbare clothes and has clearly faced hardship. Behind him we see a tall iron wrought fence and a big, austere brick building.
Evithorir, painted for Critical Role by Zoe Badini. Evithorir is described as an elven figure perpetually shrouded in shadows. Its face is pale gray, its skin is pulled tight against bone. Its teeth are crooked and elongated and its eyes glow. In this scene it stands in front of a large glowing green crystal pillar, surrounded by black and greenish flames. Its body flows and disappears into the shadows. Its hands are lifted at its sides, casting more dark shadows. Hidden and trapped inside its chest we can glimpse a reddish emaciated figure.

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.

Digital illustration depicting a scene from a classroom of magic users. One student at the centre attempts to control the unwieldy water based magic that rises up out of a book. She has an expression of shock as the magic backfires on her. Behind her is another student and a teacher who gazes on in disappointment.
An illustration depicting a side-on view of the ocean. On top of the water sits a small sailing boat with a figure fishing off to one side. Beneath the waves, a giant shark emerges from the depths to capture the boat.
An illustration depicting a tiefling standing in amongst a crowd, wearing regal clothing. He is glancing back over his shoulder with a smirk as he throws petals back towards his followers who gaze up towards him with adoration.
A young man runs through a maze, viewed from the side and on a downward angle. Beneath him are four Grecian style pillars. He wears a toga and an odd vambrace on one arm.

My painting for Dylan Sanchez's terrific new novel, Garden of Order: Legends--out now!!
Exploring ideas for my next mentorship and want to get your feedback!
A few folks have asked about a concept art course (building a concept folio), while others have been more interested in a book cover course. Alternatively I could keep running my MTG focused mentorship if there's interest!
I'd probably take some time to paint a few presents I've been wanting to do (in oils), and then... have some fun with art, likely finishing only a small amount of paintings. 😂
My cat might get the full gallery wall he deserves.
What would you do with your art (any creative endeavor) if you didn't have to worry about turning it into money?
I am genuinely haunted by this question, and I'm eager to see your responses.
Please share! Let's cast a wide net!
Thanks Quico! Here's my art and some of my frens @catedroguett.bsky.social @krontedraws.bsky.social @zoebadini.bsky.social
