Portfolio Example 01: Fantasyby ~Nashya

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Other

While I still have this fresh in my memory;

At Anime Detour this year I got asked to be on a panel with the amazing ~LannySu and talk about being a professional artist. I say the term 'professional' loosely since I still don't consider myself there yet. Lack of discipline has yet to let me submit to any companies XD;;;. I rambled about my few experiences and I was really glad what I ranted about helped. It was kinda... exciting and overwhelming to witness people hanging onto my every word. We talked about the importance of having a portfolio featuring your BEST work and I realized I actually don't really have one! At least not since college. So I came home that night and made some quick mock ups of what I'd probably do with mine. Most of this work was done within the last year and one of them further back I think... I updated them all though to match my current style. I'll probably use these in my print book at cons from now on too.

-------------

These pieces would fall under Illustration I guess. I would use it primarily for book covers. It's a style I don't use much because it takes forever and a day to finish work with it. I also catch myself going back months later fixing things up so it gets time consuming and I can't just let the pieces be DONE. I like the end result of them. Very dreamy and other worldly but not something I could keep up a lot. As you can see backgrounds aren't my strongest as I have none featured here... Need to work on that this year!

-------------

Anyway, I hope this helps to give an idea of what a portfolio could look like. I don't think there's any REAL rules outside of show a wide range of styles/work and use work that's most up to date and you best.

Hi, loving your work! Do you do this with digital or with paint?

The coloring so soooooo amazing! I don't see any issues with the backgrounds, and sometimes very simple ones tend to enhance the main subject anyways.
