Love this beautifully sinuous animalistic brass door pull on a Victorian townhouse in the west end of Glasgow. I've no idea if it's original or not, but it looks like it's been there for some time.

It's #PortfolioDay again already?!

I'm Paul, and I mostly do character art—mainly #fantasy illustration with hints of #victoriana and #steampunk.

Most things I draw are posted on my website: https://baffledwizard.blogspot.com/
A more curated portfolio can be found here: https://www.artstation.com/ravanon
You can e-mail me here: ravanon [at] outlook [dot] com.

I mainly do my own thing, but I'm open to interesting freelance opportunities, especially #illustration, #gaming or #ttrpg related.

A flame-haired young woman with horns standing before the path to a distant shrine (full length version). The path winds behind her up a few flights of damaged stone stairs. The woman herself is wearing a dark green corset-robe tied with red-orange sash. Her eyes are golden, she's wearing jewelled earrings.
A red-haired young woman with golden eyes and horns growing upwards from her temples grins manically at the viewer. She has her hands planted on her hips. She's wearing a suede corset vest over a long red dress with green undergown. She's wearing a couple of golden necklaces, and a couple of golden bangles on her left wrist. She has a reptilian tail slipping out from behind her, from which hangs an iron ring of keys. The backdrop is of thick blue-grey mist.
A blonde-haired young woman with curved horns and blue-grey feathered wings, dressed in a sleeveless brown-and-burgundy leather bodice and skirt. She has one green and one orange eye, pointed ears, and has a faint smirk on her face. The feathers of the wings are all tinted slightly differently, giving a stained glass effect. She has various leather pouches tied to belts around her waist and hips. Her left arm is bare but for a leather wrist/hand guard, while her right arm is covered by an iron pauldron. She has black leather thigh-high heeled boots, and a tail snakes out from behind her to wrap around her left leg. The tail is reptilian, starting pinkish in colour but turning grey-blue like the wings. The background is a simple burgundy haze over black.

longvictorian, 8 months ago to dance

After the masked ball (1893) by Heinrich Lossow (German artist, lived 1843–1897). That was fun, when's the next one?

'I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.' 🎵

A blonde-haired angel with great white wings, wearing a long dress in cream and ivory. She's sitting looking up at the viewer, her gown arrayed beneath her across the floor. She's wearing a necklace with green and pink pendant stones, which match her eyes.
A middle-aged gentleman with thick greying hair and a beard is out walking. He has horns like a ram's, curling back behind his head. He's wearing a three-piece suit: a white shirt, green-brown tie, brown waistcoat, blue-grey suit jacket and trousers. Hanging from his shoulders is a light grey overcoat. His tail, forked and red, peeks out under the coat. Perched on his shoulder is a large reptilian creature with wings, green in colour with horns of its own.
A young elf with brown hair tied up behind her in a loose chignon sits on a stone step in a garden. She is wearing a large lily-like flower in her hair and is dressed in a dark-grey corset with a maroon brassiere. She's wearing a pleated brown skirt with a second pink underskirt, stiped tights, yellow socks and boots. One of her calves is bandaged. Her arms are bare, but for a golden torc on her right arm, and a pair of fingerless leather gloves. On the stone step beside her is a pillar with vines wrapped around it and a stone bowl with a large purple flower growing in it. Another bowl can be just about seen behind her, this one containing a more pinkish flower with pale cyan stamen.
