Started the day not wanting to do anything, managed to do literally everything except the very urgent thing I need to be doing. I'm still considering it a win but *sweats*

I don't mention enough how much I adore lettering. Here's some examples of (mostly) hand-drawn type I've worked on (the first one was initially hand-drawn, then cleaned up and vectorised)

Book cover for The Distance Between Stars and Salt by Alex Harvey-Rivas. It's a dark blue graphical cover, framed by an hourglass motif composed of stars. The top half of the cover is taken up by the title, which is drawn to include the Maltese cross motif. The bottom half depicts a luzzu tossing on a turbulent sea, below which is the author's name. In the background are subtle constellations.Cover art for the web novel Tales from Aurea. The title features a sword as the T in Tales and two dragons forming an infinity symbol in the background. Five characters stand ready to fight under a solar eclipse. From left to right: Leif, a man with a battle axe and cocky expression; Jo, a muscular woman with a mischievous grin; Kaja, a small, nervous girl with dragon horns and a tail; Sakrattars, an elf wizard with a spell book and a toad on his head; Amale, an anthropomorphic painted dog holding a bow.An illustrated book cover for Help Wanted by J. Emery. The cover features a harassed-looking raven sitting upon an open book on a desk. Behind the raven the desktop is strewn with several several sheets of paper, stacks of books, a smoking candle, and stray feathers. The title is included inside speech bubble coming from the raven.A book cover design for The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma. The title text is shaped like a flame. Additional text reads: Some sins are too heavy to burn.

a black and white scratchboard drawing. In the background a very large tower looms over Gothic buildings overlooking a vast paved plaza. In the foreground, two characters wearing black Oxford robes walk towards the tower.

Thank you to everyone who supported my Portfolio Day post! I appreciate it a lot. 🥰 I've also applied to a few places in honour of the occasion; keeping my fingers crossed at least one of them works out.
