Text reads: Sylvain is an eclipse-born werewolf who knows neither his bestial form nor the post-nuclear wilds his kind hail from. Raised on the orbital research station Zodiac, he’s grown accustomed to a life of peaceful predictability. Though fantasies of visiting his birthplace may be out of reach due to medical restrictions, he has a loving boyfriend and all of his essential needs are met. What more could he want? In the opinion of his elder brother, the answer is: everything. Believing them abducted as children, Illia has always sworn to someday return with his brother to the mountains they were taken from.

Soon enough, the brothers find themselves fugitives on the planet’s surface, pursued by the governmen

There's just so much whimsy in your art, I adore it 🥺✨

Illustration of three cats baking pies in a kitchen. One is carrying a basket of berries, one is making a pie crust, and one is carrying a pie (with oven mitts) fresh from the oven. They're all wearing little aprons and handkerchiefs.

Illustration of the hobbits - (left to right) Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry - returning home to the Shire, a cozy sunset welcoming them.

Illustration of a ghost scooping apple cider out of a cauldron into a mug, beside a stall selling apple cider donuts, caramel apples, and fresh apples displayed in a barrel. There's a creature behind the stall, of just two eyes and hands, and an orchard in the background.

Illustration of a ghost, at sunset, raking falling leaves. There are jack-o-lantern style leaf bags propped by a tree. And in the distance, a black cat is playing with the falling leaves.

Hello, #PortfolioDay! I'm Wynn and I'm an illustrator from Canada. I love drawing cozy scenes, little creatures, and anything and everything inspired by nature and autumn.

Open for new projects and commissions!

The cover of Bloody Spade by Brittany M. Willows, depicting the main character Iori, a boy with fluffy hair and cat-ears, his form mostly in shadow, standing in front of a light purple, foggy background. He's holding his hands around a large, shining, purple spade symbol. There are tears and a smoke-like bright substance coming our of one of his eyes, and an ink-like tendril curling behind and around him.

Bloody Spade by Brittany M. Willows is an action-filled, whirlwind, heartfelt adventure of magic-students standing up to gathering evil. With a catboy protagonist, Iori, and his partner-in-crime (and life) Ellen who fights with scythe(!) this queer, young adult novel is recommended to anime fans! 😼♠️

But! If pre-orders?? Maybe LOVE???

Thank youuu 🥺

A rough sketch of two male characters (Sylvain and Lior) drawn in a dramatic artsy pose with Lior looking up almost reverently at Sylvain as he holds him up, arms wrapped around his torso. One of Sylvain's arms is draped over Lior's shoulder and he looks off beyond Lior with a distant expression on his face.

Snuck in a little refining on this before packing my tablet away (Tomorrow I move to Ottawa!! Temporarily, but still!)

Bsky's too sensitive 😤 And yesss he's gotta look majestic af
