Hi, #PortfolioDay! I'm Amaranth Morn, a fantasy illustrator who likes fairy tales and horror. Currently open to commissions and illustration work. Work: amaranthmorn.neocities.org/portfolio Contact: amaranthmorn@gmail.com Commissions: vgen.co/amaranthmorn #FantasyArt #OCsky #ArtSky

A digital illustration of my Snow Queen fairy tale retelling characters. Neve, a blue-skinned, white-haired woman with mist pouring from her icy body, looks into a snow globe lit from within by golden light. In the snow globe, teenage best friends Kain and Glory engage in a snowball fight. A crack runs through the globe, visually cutting through Kain's figure.

A digital illustration styled like a book cover. The title is "Spirit-Sight," and the author's name is the artist's. A very young teen, peering wide-eyed into the darkness, brandishes a lantern glowing with unnatural light. The smoke billowing from the lantern takes the shape of various strange creature parts.

A digital illustration of a girl with a haunted expression kneeling beneath a gnarled juniper tree. She holds a feather that glows like fire. In the earth beneath her is a skeleton. Fire lights from its eye sockets. Above the skull and above the earth, a bird's long, flame-colored tail feathers hang down from the juniper tree. The bird itself looks down toward the girl. In the distance, a small house sits, smoke rising from its chimney and blending with the stormy sky.

Two digital illustrations of my characters Glory and Kain as adults, teenagers, and children.

Attack of Absolutely-Anura's character Minerva! Trying to figure out a balance between emphasizing environmental color and making the image not as neon as I have been doing... I think I'm getting there? I don't know, but I like how this turned out. #Artfight #Artfight2026 #TeamMystery

Absolutely-Anura's character Minerva holding a camcorder with a ghost floating behind her.

Squeezed out one last revenge for this week! SnailMuffin's character Vardan. Continuing to apply the style I've been playing with. Might want to experiment more... #Artfight #Artfight2026 #TeamMystery

SnailMuffin's character Vardan sitting in a sling made of vines.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Jul 10

Attack of uranerdharvey's fairy tale-inspired characters! I love fairy tale stuff, so I wanted to do something cool. Expanding on my stylistic experimentation from the last one, too. #Artfight #Artfight2026 #TeamMystery

Uranerdharvey's characters Nix, Delilah, and Paloma reaching for a star.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Jul 6

Attack of OhBoyFelix's characters Sasha and Morgan! I'm really happy with how the colors, coloring style, and linework style are meshing here. Label is for some mild body horror (tendrils coming out of a mouth). #Artfight #Artfight2026 #TeamMystery

A drawing of OhBoyFelix's characters Sasha and Morgan together in a frame. Sasha leans on the frame with a weary expression. Morgan rests their head on one of Sasha's shoulders and their hand on the other, eyes closed, thin white tendrils snaking from their mouth.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Jul 6

Attack of @artyamnesia.bsky.social's character Evelyn! Experimenting with color and style a bit this Artfight, so all my pieces will look a little different from each other. #Artfight #Artfight2026 #TeamMystery

A drawing of ArtyAmnesia's character Evelyn, a young man in colorful 1920s-style clothing, kneeling to inspect a smear of blood, then looking up in surprise.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Jul 6

ARTFIGHT 2026 THREAD! End of Week 1... off to a slow start this year figuring out which style(s) I want to go for, but I think this attack for Jxstxrr13 turned out well! And I've got plans for a bunch more, so I'll see how many I can get through this week. #Artfight2026 #Artfight #TeamMystery

A drawing of Jxstxrr13's character Octavia, a jester dressed in green, striking a playful pose.

MESSY PRIDE DOODLES IN THE ELEVENTH HOUR #SQRetelling

It's always my favorite pair of childhood best friends, Glory and Kain! artfight.net/character/12... artfight.net/character/12... #Artfight #TeamMystery #Artfight2026

A digital illustration of my character Glory as an adult, teenager, and child.

Finally got all my character profiles done for #Artfight! Come and attack me this #Artfight2026! I'm on #TeamMystery >:3 artfight.net/~amaranthmorn

My Artfight card for 2026. My username is amaranthmorn, I am on Team Mystery, I attack fantasy characters but anyone, really, and I prioritize revenges. I do both friendly fire and revenges, and the characters I have are primarily human.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Jun 3

taking him away... #SQRetelling

A doodle of Glory turning around in surprise to see Kain being picked up by the back of his hood like a cat.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Jun 1

happy pride #SQRetelling

The awesome lesbian couple / evil and intimidating horse meme but with Glory and Jackie as the lesbian couple and Kain as the evil and intimidating best friend.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· May 9

working on designs for characters from 30 years before the story of #SQRetelling ... they should feel familiar but not precisely the same as the main characters.

Rough character design sketches for my characters Neve and Clare.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· May 5

stupid joke and it took so long #SQRetelling

A poorly-made fake screenshot of a YouTube video called The Mirror Incident (ANALOG HORROR). It shows one of those analog horror phone calls with portraits and text, but it's my characters Neve and Clare. Neve says "What did you do?!"

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· May 4

another one. you can tell this guy is still in the midst of a redesign #SQRetelling

My character Clare saying "When I enact my evil whims on you--" and then abruptly looking at his watch and saying "--however many cutscenes from now that is--"

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 26

I decided I needed a better actual height comparison. So here's an alt where i stick Kain's feet to the ground. #SQRetelling

A lineup of my Snow Queen retelling characters. In order, they're Kain, Rook, Jackie, and Glory. Kain is not floating in this one.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 25

Finished these new references! Again, Rook is the purple one, Jackie is the red one. I'm happy with how these designs came out. I may still mess with Rook's, but I think Jackie's is final. #SQRetelling #CharacterDesign #OCsky #OC #ArtSky #Art

A lineup of characters from my Snow Queen retelling. In order, they are Kain, Rook, Jackie, and Glory.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 18

also i drew babies making sandcastles #SQRetelling

A digital sketch of child Glory and child Kain making sandcastles. They are both shocked that one of their towers is crumbling.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 18

i feel like i've solidified these two designs now so wip for some cleaner/refined refs... #SQRetelling

Sketches of references for my characters Rook and Jackie, positioned next to the references of Kain and Glory.

Six digital illustrations of the characters for my House at Hollowmaw project. They depict the characters in full-body poses, each surrounded by glowing magical imagery that relates to them as characters.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 12

still messing with the design and making little edits to the previous drawings to test out how well they translate on different poses. i think this might be the design actually. i think this might be it. #SQRetelling

Messy colored sketches of my character Rook.

Two of the same sketches of Rook from earlier in the thread, edited with the changes I was experimenting with in the previous sketch.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 11

colored the second one to experiment more with colors and designs. had an idea that her pupil shape could be hourglasses. i like the collar decoration to add red but i feel i could make it More red. there needs to be a little more red on her top half to balance the red tights, i think #SQRetelling

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 9

still messing with rook's design. incorporated some ideas i had and i am digging it. will try to get it a Bit less plain but it's beginning to come together more nicely #SQRetelling

A colored sketch of Rook. Her clothing is in dark purples and blacks with gold accents. She wears red tights and a jacket with cape-like sleeves.

A sketch of Rook. It shows how her cape sleeves work.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 5

shadow and the devil from the real-time fandub are kind of neve and clare to me #SQRetelling

Clare cheerfully saying "Heeeyyy what's upppp, it's meeee." Neve responds "STOP!!!!"

Neve having a memory of Clare hugging her human self and saying "Hiii Neeeeve, it's me, the devil. I love youuu. I'm having so much fun with youuuu." Neve in the present looks confused and says "Thank you??? I suppose????"

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 5

was rewatching jenny nicholson's church play video and was struck by inspiration. giggled the whole time i was drawing this #SQRetelling

My OCs doing stuff from those silly church plays. Glory telling Jackie that "He who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Glory getting crucified and saying "It is finished." Kain can be Judas or something.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 5

unrelated i'm trying to redesign some #SQRetelling characters

Two sets of eyes. One has Kain's eye symbols, the other has Glory's. Neither are Kain's or Glory's eyes.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Apr 1

quick and goofy little doodles of the different relationships between my trans OCs for tdov... #HATHM #SQRetelling

A sketch of Clove and Lilac hugging, labeled "T4T sweetness."

A doodle of Lucas and Ambrose flashing peace signs at the camera, labeled "T4T hanging with my buddy."

A sketch of Kain getting dark and intense explaining something as Rook looks cheerful and amused, labeled "T4T weird situationship?"

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Mar 31

messing with the designs of major supporting characters for #SQRetelling... these are jackie (with the hat) and rook (with the ponytail)! people glory and kain meet and befriend during the story.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Mar 23

OKAY, done with this basic lineup of Kain and Glory's designs at different ages! I will make ref sheets (with back + side views and some expressions) for each of these designs. But for now, here are the two main characters of my Snow Queen fairy tale retelling! #OCsky #OC #SQRetelling #ArtSky #Art

A reference lineup of my characters Kain and Glory at different ages.

Amaranth Morn@amaranthmorn· Mar 23

coming along... i need to draw back and side views too so once i finish lining these i still won't be done. but it's a nice relaxing personal thing to work on. #SQRetelling
