"The great hunt". Illustration piece I did for Paul Scott Canavan's mentorship. It represents an haunt scene, the hunter is mounting a big white tiger with piercing white eyes -sign that she's blind- which is roaring as she's sprinting through the action. The hunter has heavy clothing on, inspired by the Mongolian and Slavic clothing. He has long black hair moved by the wind, and he's holding a sword in his hand, ready to defend his wood. The environment is a snowy wood, old trees and branches all around the scene, as the white snow covers them. The sun is setting, and the overall atmosphere looks pinkish, lightened by the lights of the time of the day. Pink, yellow and blue shading on the sky, as the clouds move, forming interesting shapes.

A dramatic digital fantasy illustration depicting a figure with long, flowing dark hair and prominent vampire fangs stepping down a flight of stone stairs. They are wearing a long, dark tattered coat, a buckled vest or corset, and dark trousers. Their arms are outstretched, channeling vibrant, swirling purple magic from their hands.
The character is positioned in front of a stone archway that opens up to a misty, pale green forest. In the shadowy foreground on either side of the stairs, monchs with glowing purple eyes appear to be reacting to the magic. The overall atmosphere is dark, gothic, and action-oriented.

Crown King sitting on his throne of screaming skulls. He's surrounded by tangled trees in a horror and dark fantasy themed environment

Illustration of a young elf with short reddish hair and pointed ears kneeling in a misty forest, reaching desperately toward an ornate gold crown with blue gemstones that lies in a shallow stream just out of reach.

Something in The Deep - Black and white ink illustration of a gigantic eldritch inspired underwater creature near a pier. There is a small dock to the left with a building on a pier above the water. In the middle below is a small fishing boat with dark ripples of water to the left of it. Behind is fog rolling in partially covering four giant tentacles coming out of the water

Black and white summoning circle illustration. Lino style illustration of a cross hatched medallion with a large black border, surrounded by twining curling leaves and flowers and 8 point wide black stars. On top of the medallion are two rabbits on their sides facing each other with blank eyes.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.

We’re in a pleasant forest setting, with lots of greenery and the sun peeking through the canopy. We see tree houses made of natural materials on the trees.
A young, dark skinned elf is running madly towards the camera, laughing. He’s holding a chicken under one arm and a rope strung with strange berries in the other hand. A whole flock of chickens is following him, apparently crazy about the berries.
The chaotic scene is being watched by two shocked bystanders.

We’re in a futuristic luxurios apartment, with a glowy tree in the middle. A young agent wearing a combat armor is crouching behind a terrarium, ready for action.

Scream, painted for the 2024 Upper Deck Fleer Ultra Matriarchs of Marvel set.
A monstrous, tentacled figure emerges from the mist. She has large milky eyes, a wide mouth full of sharp teeth and a long extended tongue.

A dark skinned elven scout runs towards the camera. She’s just jumped out of an alcove in a city wall and she’s making her exit through the forest, startling all the wildlife around her.

I haven't done a #portfolioday post in ages so here's one, just to show some newer work! I'm Eleonor, illustrator from Portugal, and these days I work mostly on book covers, interiors, and some MtG art every now and then :) 🏺 eleonorpiteira.squarespace.com

Time's End, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a statue of a woman reaching up with light emanating from her hand. On the background there are ruins of a building with plants growing amidst the remnants of a broken stained glass window framing a sky filled with stars.

Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira for Astarion, a Baldur's Gate 3 novel, by T. Kingfisher, featuring a white haired man in rich black and red clothes, raising a golden goblet on his hand that overflowing with blood and dripping down. On his other hand he is holding a dagger. The background is red with dark circular markings seemingly dripping down.

Illustration by Eleonor Piteira of Glorfindel, a character from The Lord of The Rings. A male golden haired elf with gold armour and a long dark blue cape behind him floating in the wind, sits on top of a white horse. Framing his head is a stylised sun with rays, the symbol of the House of the Golden Flower. The elf and the horse are framed within a gold circle adorned with plant-like ornaments which include celandine flowers.

Burst Lightning, illustrated by Eleonor Piteira for the Magic: The Gathering set 'Secrets of Strixhaven', showing a red background with many jagged shapes all coming from a dark silhouette of an elf being struck by a lightning bolt.

The common room of an ancient tavern with a timber ceiling.

A view of a courtyard of a medieval building at night, it's brightly lit by the bottom where a tavern stands while the roofs are lit by moonlight. In the full moon shape, a mysterious silhouette is crouched at the edge of the roof.

A dark gothic staircase, lit by two characters making their way towards the bottom with lanterns.
