thankful to have a job but i would like to one day be able to look back at this time of coming home too tired to draw as a small blip in the timeline and not anything more

My name is Raine! I am a multidisciplinary illustrator, animator, and designer focusing on Narrative & Games. I love Original Fiction and deeply built, intricately woven worlds. I'm currently available for work! Happy #PortfolioDay! Portfolio Website Link Tree Contact #art #workbyraine #artsky

Was pondering zodiac/horse themed oc art but I was thinking I didn't have even a handful of horse themed ocs I could work upon until I remembered HER!!! Going to redesign her before I do anything though if ever haha. #ocsky #wyraineocs #workbyraine #grindfiction

Here's to another. Happy New Year, everyone! I'm thankful this year went as well as it did 🥴I'm looking forward to more in the next one! #ArtvsArtist2025

Share your couples art! Heavily Edited Old Art of various character pairings... [ #art #ocsky #fantasyart #workbyraine #illustration ]

Since BSKY has a new wave of people I'm jumping in too! 🫡I'm an illustrator with a heavy focus on narrative and game design! I mainly work on my personal projects! [ #ocsky #art #workbyraine #illustration #fantasy #knight ]

Respectfully, I left the other place a long time ago, well before anybody else I knew did. I've been struggling to find a foothold here but, idrc. One day I'll be able to upload things without needing tags. No sense trying to articulate the inarticulable. #talktag

while removing the rest of my artwork from twitter i found this gem (it can stay)

my psychotic ass alien that i love sm....her name is calista

Been busy being employed. Still trying to figure out work/life balance type things. #sketchtag

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

Oh way to go bro, you've gone against the spirit of the thing.

Gainful employment has kept me busy (thank God), but I do look forward to getting more time to myself! #workbyraine #sketchtag

dog goes bark #workbyraine #werewolf

Show us how you draw armour! It really depends on what I'm trying to do. I have many knights so I'm keeping it simple for now... #workbyraine

Use only ONE piece of art to convince folks to follow you! #workbyraine #colorfulproject

I unpinned my first serious about-post bc it needed to be updated. I tend to have a new one ready at the start of each year, so I figured I would just wait until then. :P In the mean time, here's a little bit about me for anyone who stumbles upon my work otherwise.

The Sketching Shall Continue Until Morale Improves 😤 #sketchtag #workbyraine

This is Avi Arad btw, one of the producers for the Zelda movie

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Artist! Quote with your yellow art! 💛 #workbyraine

Been having a few of those lately! Thankful to say I've been a bit busy as of late. Thinking a lot about work! #workbyraine #sketchtag

the mad lad did it. holy smokes. hope ???? #talktag

Gleefully drawing humanoid character designs for guys that aren't at all human. #kirby #kirbyairriders #workbyraine #wyraineocs

New illustration on Russel Vought, the self-proclaimed Christian Nationalist behind much of Project 2025, and now the Cabinet member currently in charge of slashing funding and workers from any federal agency he and the president don’t like. #editorialilllustration #inkanddigital

fun warmup doodle w/ my 'sona #workbyraine #wiptag #wyraineocs #art

perhaps it is a millennial disease, this sort of juvenile clinging to ‘cosy’ narrative. a world free of suffering or consequence, a convenient world, ignoring the work. Ignoring the work entirely

Hitting the wall in Hades II...

There's the illusion of progressiveness and then there's actually real tactile forms of progressive modes of thought and behavior. I don't associate with the former, my work and time only for the latter. I disengage with people who are disinterested in real, quantifiable progress. Everyone should.

[ #monstober ] Some more monsters! I'll be revamping some of them in my little game of catch up. #halloween #spooktober #monsters #digifake #fakemon

[ #fanart ] Started playing #okami again and I'm reminded of this old sketch I did like 5 years ago. I started drawing my OCs with okami art direction #art #wolf #amaterasu #okamiden #sketch #digitalsketch #wolf #cloverstudio #capcom #workbyraine

Stumbled upon old rough concepts for a #TTRPG I was working on. Opened up the document and I'm tickled that a lot of my ideas still hold up! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #warlock #fantasyart #illustration #characterdesign #fairy #ghost #vampire #gameprojects #shackleproject #art #digitalart #workbyraine

Starting the week off right with a spruced up doodle of one of my coolest guys ✨🤺 #knight #fantasyart #ocsky #sketch #digitalsketch #digitalart #elf #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #fantasy #knights #characterdesign #conceptart #workbyraine #colorfulproject

Feeling a little nostalgic. Here's my take on a particular set of Underworld Deities. They're a bit more removed from their inspirations than when I first designed them, but as the saying goes, iykyk! #workbyraine #wyraineocs #characterdesign #hades #persephone #zagreus

everything I do in futility, I do for the love of the game

[ #workbyraine ] For Day 12, I'm skipping over my monster challenge to share one of my most precious characters. This OC is my interpretation of the god, Anansi, an African-Diaspora mythic figure, trickster, and folktale hero (also the God of Wisdom). #wyraineocs #mythology #blacktober #spider

[ #spooktober ] For Day 11 of the Halloween Monster Challenge I did last year, here's an unaltered Boogieman! I've got mixed feelings about the Boogieman, but I like the design so I'mma let 'em slide for now. #wyrainedex #workbyraine

[ #spooktober ] Happy Early Halloween, everybody! For Days 8, 9, and 10, I bring to you a Wolfman, a Mummy, and a Vampire! #monstober #halloween #werewolf #mummy #vampire #art #workbyraine #wyraineocs #wyrainedex #characterdesign

[ #spooktober ] Day 8, 9, and 10 are a packaged deal! They'll all go up together! #wyrainedex #workbyraine #silhouette #characterdesign

I will definitely be sad if I have to stop posting art on the internet to protect the very concept of art, but I'll do it.

[ #spooktober ] Day 07 of the Halloween Monster Challenge I did last year! #fakemon #pokemon #slug #gastropod #alien
