    uniE621 Traditional art 2
    Just another traditional art piece I want to add into my portfolio. I drew this angel for my husband as a gift
    uniE621 Traditional Art
    Here I've done traditional art. Also semi-realism. No color. I've done traditional art ever since I was a child and switched over to Digital about 6 years ago. I just wanted to showcase that I can do traditional art as well
    uniE621 Jinx from Arcane
    Of course I couldn't draw only Vi and not her sister Jinx. As I stated in the Vi description, I only tried the Arcane art style
    uniE621 Vi from Arcane
    Over here I have a character that is loved by many that has watched Arcane. I tried to follow the Arcane art style to see if I'd be comfortable with the art style
    uniE621 Cyberpunk commision
    This is a Cyberpunk commission I did for my friend's husband. It includes a lot of details + background.
    uniE621 Protagonist in my novel
    I've applied the same art style. Semi-realism, to my protagonist. There's not a lot of detail and it's not a character sheet like the Nyxari sheet. I just wanted to show what she looks like
    uniE621 Character sheet for my own novel
    I have added details to this character that is an important role in my sci-fi novel. Also semi-realism. He took longer to finish because of all the details on his armor.
    uniE621 Character design for a friend's novel
    Here, I am testing out semi-realism. So far I've only covered the face and the material around her neck. The rest is flat colors which I'm gonna paint over
