In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

Welcome home, Artemis II crew ❤️ We missed you!!

I suppose it depends on the person - some people use their social media more as a gallery for their own work, and less as a “like” stream. But others simply don’t realize the positive impact of reposts!
FYI, Yoshitaka Amano is the character/costume designer of "Homura Kagayoe", a live-action film recently released in Japan.

I thought I was the only one who did this?? I feel so seen, haha
New OW hero trailer came out! And with it, more Emre content <3
I couldn’t help but notice that his armour has a binary code on it (00110110 - 00110110) which when translated is 6 6
Is it connected to Route 66? If so, why is it half scratched off?

A traditional sketch of a young male elf boy. He wears a hood over long hair, bangs wispy and fluffy. There's horns, and aviation style goggles over the hood, as well as a scarf like piece around his next with visible stitches. He wears a long sleeve shirt with a utility belt over a half skirt. The drawing is done in black pen, with green marker underneath of it. To the left and lower right sides, there are yellow sticky notes covering mistakes.

A black and white sketch on a grey background. The character is an anthropomorphic lamb as seen on other pieces of art on the account. He is long shoulder length hair with fluffy lamb ears, small horns, and face tattoo over his cheeks and nose. His bangs are over his right eye, covering it. The angle is top down, with the character looking up at the viewer. The sketch is cut off at the collar. Beside the figure is text that says "bah' with a very quick sketch of a chibi lambs head.
Bah ♡
#digitalart #furryart #lamb
An illustration of a anthropomorphic lamb boy. The background is a gradient of black to red, which goes from the top to the bottom. He is in a blue detective like outfit, with a wide brim hat. He smilles at the camera with a passive look, whilst holding a string of 5 paper but rabbits in his hands. The paper rabbit boys look like another character, Luka Lapin, and they have X's over their eyes. The light is coming from the bottom and is a mix of red and pinks which dance over the paper dolls and the lamb.

Concept art piece of possible sketches and outfits for Octavius. It has rough hair style and face sketches on the very left, and on the right is all of the outfit concepts. These range from casual shirts, to more police officer looks, to a sort of bounty hunter vibe. The final has the character in a hip length coat and long pants with fluffy hooves showing, and the wide rimmed cap. the sketches are in black, and the outfit concepts are colours in a lighter grey to help them stand out.
Pt 2 - Concept art for Octavius...trying to get the detective vibes right!

A grey background piece of concept art exploring multiple expressions and angles for a blonde hair anthropomorphic lamb boy. He has very dark fur, with orange eyes and very light blonde hair. His hat is dark blue with a black rim, and a yellow 3 point badge on the front that has an orange plus sign detail. The expressions range from smiling, yelling, looking annoyed, or just head tilted in aw.

#characterdesign #furryart #sheep #portfolio
A grey background piece of concept art of Maria doing multiple mouth shapes on a expression sheet. There are 10 expressions, each which a vowel or letter underneath, as well as the expression the sound would make. The colour is a simple light and dark grey.
A sketch sheet of over 10 concept sketches. Each one explores a different 'vibe' for the mouth character - but all of them have the vibe of an anthropomorphic mouse who works in a shop or garage. Some sketches explore longer hair, shorter hair, and different outfits. Some of the sketches have written notes next to them - like a sketch of Maria with longer hair and a zip up hoodie with a fur collar and skirt which says 'braids and jacket.' Another has Maria standing in a half body with a thigh length boho style dress and short choppy hair, smiling to the camera. The note reads 'cuter style.'
Maria Hightower is a mouse who always has a plan! That includes keeping the revolution going by helping out in any way she can.

On the very left is a boxy robot head, and body, being held up by red, yellow, and blue wires. Above the text 'V1 - The idea. All boxy and barely alive' is written. Beside this, is a more skeleton looking robot with dark grey bones and a red triangle on his head. He is looking down at his arm with yellow eyes. Above the text 'V2 - The Skeleton. Forms begin to show' is written. Beside them is a more humanoid and now expressive robot with sleek limbs and purple joints and center power core.

She has long ears, and the same purple coloured joints like V3. She smiles at the camera. Above them the text 'V4 - Souls. Mostly human, fully unique' is written.
Pt 1 - Souls didn't start out super humanoid, they were once very boxy and simple...they were meant to do simple tasks, nothing more - that changed pretty quickly when Ethers Crescent introduced the V4 versions.
Robots...now with human emotions!! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

Alright time to post my grad project! A tiny bit of spam incoming ╰(▔∀▔)╯
A traditional sketch of a elven boy done in an anime style. It’s pencil only with a sketchy look. The photo is taken on a slight angle. The sketchbook page over top of another sketch. A light shines from the right across it. The sketch itself is of a 3/4 view of the elf, stitched over his nose and cheeks and short hair wisps past his ears. He looks up at the viewer with a small smirk. He wears a cloak with a gem and ribbon hung from his collar.
