A week of vacation, and I’m itching to start drawing. The reset has happened.🔥
How I explored dress concepts for an author's character and how it turned out. #characterart
A fictional tarot card commission and the struggle of finding the right concept.
Today, I let myself work from bed. My favorite coworker, as always, is right here by my side. ❤️
Speedpaint of the changes I made to a premade illustration for a client. #bookillustration
Premade art I was selling vs. the one I finished for a client’s request.
A quick sketch of Katara in a swimsuit for practice. I always want my brushstrokes to be more decisive, less smooth and clean. Less controled! But for now, I can’t quite manage it.🥲
A wonderful commission. Such a sensitive piece, and a real pleasure to work on. Cover for a poetry collection. #cover #illustration
This vampire with the cat is on of my last commissions and I'm totally smitten with him. There’s werewolf and a human girl in the company but he’s my favourite. #illustration #vampire #cat
I’m currently working on a really exciting commission in the thriller genre. I’m absolutely loving the mood of this illustration. And once again, I realize how much I love my job. It’s never boring with all of you: authors, DnD players, fans, and all the other creative people out there. 🫶🏻
My latest commission was a book cover illustration. Hockey was totally new territory for me, so it was a challenging but very exciting experience. The book isn’t out yet, but the author allowed me to share the artwork. #bookcover #illustration
I didn’t realize you can’t post more than four images on Bluesky, so here are two more characters to add to the previous post. 😉
Over the past few months, I’ve been working on the character designs and an illustration for @unfortunatereads.bsky.social , and I’m so grateful they trusted me with the project. The characters are fascinating, and if you’re into omegaverse, this book is so spicy and definitely worth a read.🔥😍
I decided to create my own version of Spice and Wolf. Not 100% happy with it—still plenty to improve, but it’s time to wrap it up. #animefanart #spiceandwolf #holo
A piece of an illustration I’m working on — the Cleansing of saidin. Only halfway done, but I had to share. Really love how Nynaeve turned out. #thewheeloftime #fantasyillustration
Does anyone here use their own photos as references? I recently came across a photo of myself from New Year’s, before the war. I was so happy there, celebrating with family and friends. It made me realize I want to use it as a reference. #lineart #illustration
The witch from the previous sketch showed up in another sketch too. Hmm. And I tried drawing a dragon for the first time. It turned out so-so, but it’s fine for practice. #sketch #bookillustration #fantasy
I haven’t posted that lovely lady here. Lelaine Akashi from #blueajah from the Wheel of Tome series. #bookcharacter #theWheelofTime
Amico Nagoyin. I made her sketch a year ago, today I finished her portrait. 💛🖤 #thewheeloftime #blackajah #bookfanart
My little girl isn’t feeling well, so we’re cuddled up watching cartoons, drawing a bit, and then watching some more. So, my today’s sketchbook: home and its owners. Realized I really need to practice drawing cats.🫠 #sketchbook #illustration
