here's another throwback from 2016 a private poster commission inspired by Moby Dick honestly still really love this one, both the concept and execution i worked on pre-inked scratchboard for this one (so fully black) instead of the usual white claybord that i ink myself 30x40cm
© Elena Wuest. 'The Tangerine Hour.' Oil on canvas, 2026. 80 × 60 cm.
Never really got to grips with Procreate before but jumped back on and having actual fun.

Cover illustration for 'The Odyssey' by Homer that I had the immense pleasure of painting for @wraithmarked.bsky.social 's Special Limited Edition 🏺🌊
I ended up experimenting a lot with this one, pouring layers of ink washes over the watercolor and building up with pastels. I'm trying to get a look that is soft and textured but still has clear strong details in places. I haven't gotten it down yet quite the way I want, but this is a step closer!
some gay knights ⚔️
NEW ART ALERT! 🌸 I really enjoyed painting this one, I hope you enjoy it too!
Behold: my most complex illustration to date! This is the cover for Thistlemarsh by @mooreacorrrigan.bsky.social as part of its @illumicrate.bsky.social special edition, and it's full of tiny details, symbolism and references to the story! I'll add close-ups below because clearly it deserves it ^^
One of my favorite Astronaut paintings, commissioned by a pair of collectors back in 2014 from a rough concept drawing they saw in my sketchbook. My daughter Cecilia modeled for the young listener, mesmerized by the stories of far off places. Whispers 24" x30" Oil on Panel 2015 private collection
It's been ages since the last time I did something in traditional techniques (I don't lie if I say that maybe since before I moved to Galicia, so it's been +3 years now) and you have no idea how much I've enjoyed this piece. Size A4, pen and brushpen.

This was the illustration that caught the eye of the Catwoman editor and led me to create a large collection of covers for the character during my first year at @dc.com It's been a while since I last drew her, and I confess, I miss her! (I did scratch that itch with her Absolute Edition, though!)
