Hey #PortfolioDay 🌻 I’m golemkind, a member of @kingsplagueco.bsky.social and a freelance illustrator, design, and photographer! I love thick black lines and plan on opening commissions this August!

A technicolor chibi illustration of Sybilance, a tiefling belonging to shinydirtycoin!

Purrichi’s original character, Sok, dressed in extremely vivid street fashion. Special attention was put into illustrating the sneakers.

Reference sheet for Jason Felix Keating, my original character. He is a red haired young man with a cool green prosthetic arm. On the left he is in his standard outfit while on the right he is wearing his partner’s clothes. The file is littered with conspiratorial notes over top of a statement from a government interview related to the missing person’s case of Skylar Aster.

In the style of a medieval parchment illustration, Abril De Lucia’s character, Hadrian, stands upon a rock, holding both of his swords as he looks down and to the left. He is depicted in his full armor with a sunburst in the back.

Finally made a third sticker for @kingsplagueco.bsky.social thanks to @purrichi.bsky.social's encouragement to try and make a sticker last night while we were marathon making new items. I've always wanted to squish Gir like a squeaky toy.

Zim's three fingered fist, squeezing Gir like a squeaky toy. Gir is looking wide eyed but is having a good time. The image itself is a mockup of a sticker design with a tile background by @abrildelucia.bsky.social

Second #Artfight attack for the year is for @shinydirtycoin.bsky.social as REVENGE! ☠️ They drew my man Jason and I LOVED IT.

My first #Artfight attack this year was for @undeadrobby.bsky.social 💕 Trying out a new style and couldn't have done it without @purrichi.bsky.social's insight and help 🥺

Miles the dragonborn fishing up a waterlogged drow knight, Sylvette. The style is very technicolor and bright, while the figures are chibis.

Golemkind | TEAM TRAGEDY 👒🌻@golemkind· Jul 1

Hey everyone! I'm on Artfight again this year! 🌧️ I can't guarantee revenges since I'll be flying halfway across the planet partway in, but I'll be doing my best! Team Tragedy let's go!!!!! artfight.net/~golemkind

A name badge for Artfight. Golemkind is Team Tragedy this year and will be attacking primarily RPG characters and "little guys".

WIP of a piece that might be a print for @kingsplagueco.bsky.social 🫣 Rin and Len have always been some of my favorite Vocaloids 🥹

Assembled my last ita bag and it feels so nice to have it done :) I may make another in the future but for now I have no space or money for another and that’s okay. Very pleased with it—I’ve loved BG3 since it came out and it took a few years to get all these charms together.

The Baldur’s Gate 3 ita bag hanging on the wall. The cathedral window style bag is by MoonBrat. Some artists featured include noisyghost, kyotosparty, and vespervines! I hope to track down all the other artists eventually!

Before assembly, a tested out layout of the bag.

Dappled in sunlight 🌄 My entry for this month's @vgen.co contest! 🕊️

Dappled in sunlight, the aasimar, Sparrow, has her wings wrapped around the elf, Tinuviel. Sparrow has her sparrow colored wings wrapped around both herself and Tinuviel, while he embraces her from his position, tucked in her wing. His hand is over her heart, as hers rests on his. He's also giving her a little peck on the cheek :)

Do not separate!!! They have already been apart for too long!!!! Valentine belongs to @purrichi.bsky.social :3c

Picture of a cardboard box with a sticker saying THIS IS A SET DO NOT SEPARATE.

A fire genasi, Valentine, in a striped jacket, kissing the cheek of a blushing tiefling, Amos. Amos has tanned skin with medium length black, curly hair. Dark horns protrude from his forehead. Valentine has extremely dark skin and short, glowing orange hair, like flickering fire.

Posting late but hiii, I’m Talos, I’m a little dude living in California. I like thick lines and am coming out of bonkers burnout. 🌻🐀👑 I’m part of @kingsplagueco.bsky.social too!!

Three characters from my Pathfinder game! The mage on the left is Alba, an albatross kin with a blue ring octopus on her staff. She has cast mage armor and is wearing clothes reminiscent of seaweed and ship rope macrame.
The center character is Malus, a leshy kineticist who is quite literally an apple holding a smaller apple. He’s baby.
The character on the right is Xanthus, a golden Dragonborn champion, wielding a glowing green Morningstar, Virixstellum.
I’ve been learning how to render while working on these characters! While I did Alba by myself, Abril did the heavy lifting with Malus and Xanthus.

In the style of a medieval parchment illustration, Abril’s character, Hadrian, stands upon a rock, holding both of his swords as he looks down and to the left. He is depicted in his full armor with a sunburst in the back.

A black and white comic page depicting Sylvalian, a dark skinned elf, looking up at the sky in the night. He is looking up at a figure depicted in constellation, The Voice, his goddess.
This page was collaboration between Abril and I—I did the layout and inks, while Abril did the sketch!

Poor printer has been working overtime in prep for a convention—might have to grab some ink soon!

Ink levels on an Epson ET-8550. Most inks are below the halfway mark.

I finished drawing these eyes and then zoomed out and went “Jojo pose…”

Super out of practice drawing, but I wanted to study facial features in a family, and also work on some younger designs for Kef and Vashti.

Yesterday was my last day at a job that was going to kill me. I’m very thankful to all of my friends and my mom for helping me on this new frontier, and I’m hoping I don’t disappoint them.

Golemkind | TEAM TRAGEDY 👒🌻@golemkind· Jan 28

I’m going to make a video on this, but I’ve finally started drawing again—though I’m really pacing myself for now. Part of drawing again is going to be testing out the Sketchboard Pro! I’ll be posting my review with @kingsplagueco.bsky.social but I’ll let folks know when it’s up here!

Golemkind | TEAM TRAGEDY 👒🌻@golemkind· Jan 20

Bought some photo card protectors that were the wrong size for what I originally intended them to be used for, but turns out they fit old Muni passes I have that I’ve been wanting to stick on my wall. Isn’t it interesting to see how much monthly passes used to cost?

Three Muni monthly transit passes from October and November of 2003. The orange October adult pass cost $45 at the time, while the youth pass was only $10.

Late night post but I wanted to thank everyone who has followed me over the last few days! I'm making a lot of big changes in my life right now, all for the better, so I am extra thankful! Just put the final touches into a new @kingsplagueco.bsky.social drop and I'm excited to share it all with you!

Golemkind | TEAM TRAGEDY 👒🌻@golemkind· Jan 11

Felt like reintroducing myself was a good idea! I’m a photographer and illustrator based in the Bay Area of sunny California ☀️ I’m also part of @kingsplagueco.bsky.social — an international art collective! 🐀👑 Got a lot of exciting stuff cooking this year and I hope to bring yall on the journey! 🌻

A meet the artist page depicting Talos with text that reads as follows: He likes RPGs, videogames, Gundam, and public transit. He dislikes fascism, war, and the defunding of the arts and sciences. For his version 28 Patch Notes he notes that he has had multiple eye surgeries recently, increased his jar opening ability, as well as color saturation, and spice tolerance. His inventory includes his tablet, inhaler, a duck with a kippah, his keys, his phone, his partner in a pocket size form, and his roommate’s two cats.

I saw I’m already in this but!! I plan to be posting much more consistently come February, but hiiii!! I’m Talos!! I’m a photographer and illustrator who enjoys thick lines and cartoon aesthetics :)

Artfight attack with Valentine (belongs to Purrichi) and Amos positioned in a clock, framed by snakes. Surrounding the image are various scenes of them with the text “I can’t turn back time like you can… so I’ll make up for lost time.”

Two elves are leaning close together, in intimate lighting. Dalandir (on the left) is leaning down to kiss Tarak (on the right) whose head is tilted upward.

I’m going through my books and adding my full library to a spreadsheet. I decided to crack this bad boy open again and get a good laugh looking at the prices.

CONGRATS ON THE 8K!! I’m so happy for you!! I haven’t been able to do anything with Shakhar yet, but this is them! They’re an eladrin chronomancer who is being haunted by the ghost of their future self, who is also trying to take them out 🫣

An eladrin, appearing in an autumn form with curly dark red hair that is partially braided. They have orange and yellow streaks in their hair, as well as some leaves behind their ears.
