digital illustration of two characters meeting on a battleground: an auburn haired woman, wounded by a magic arrow, kneeling on the ground - a blonde main in a white suit with a golden halo casually reaching out to her

A short while ago, I had the pleasure to illustrate a scene from "Daughter of Fire" by Stacey Willis 💕 It was so cool to learn more about the characters and paint their meeting! 🥰

Inspired by Killian Carson from the Legacy of Gods series by Rina Kent. 🖤

This was a speedier painting- it was fun limiting myself to just a few colors and focusing on the dramatic lighting for the piece.

3 black and white sketches of the cover for Reigning Souls: By Her Heart by Elyse Sylvan and Martina Pine. All three show variations of a view out a medieval-inspired window, with a matching alcove on the back cover.

A Black and White Sketch. A full wrap cover (back & front + spine) of Reigning Souls: By Her Heart by Elyse Sylvan and Martina Pine. A view from a cozy but grand 17th century manor with Tudor style wood paneling. On the back cover is an arched alcove with a wooden relief caving of a crown above a panel painted with a dove on a branch. On the front cover, is a window, the same framing as the alcove, except the wooden relief is a dove and leaded glass fills the transom. Through the window is a view of a snowy scene. A medieval French country manor sits in the distance, windows glowing warmly in the twilight.

A sketch. Red digital pencil with a blue digital marker wash in the background. A man with a chiseled jaw, and wavy hair cropped just below his ears (think 1990's heartthrob hair). He is wearing medieval inspired clothing: a short tunic, an open surcoat/vest, a coronet and chain of office, and form-fitting trousers.

An original character rendition of the painting Fallen Angel. The character is a blue transman tielfing with top surgery scars. The tiefling is nude but positioned in a way that isn’t revealing. There is a large castle in the background of s shadowy forest

The backlit form of a satyr woman floats in a dreamy sky. She is bent in a falling position as if floating through the air. A bright star fills most of the background and lights her body

Portrait of a blue tiefling, head tilted upwards and eyes covered in a cutaway red bar full of wolf mouths snarling

Backed by a setting sun, a half orc sits on a motorcycle. She wears leathers and is at a stop watching the sun set.

A woman with brown skin and black curly hair in a light blue dress stands next to a fair skin man with ginger hair and golden eyes wearing a formal military uniform. The couple are askew, the woman looking at the sky and the man looking at her. The woman is holding a red glowing stone in her left hand and the man is holding a ceremonial sword in his right. Behind them is a blurred background of a tall mountain, a forest, and a very distant city. Golden billowly clouds fill the sky behind them.

“Most folks hate easy and love hard. Should be the other way around, I reckon.”

Jasminda Ul-Sarifor and Jaqros Alliaseen from A Song of Blood and Stone by Leslye Penelope.

The road map led to a cliff,

so I burned it and followed the river’s voice instead,

finally learning where I was meant to go.

Cover art in vintage style resembling of Leyendecker and old Hollywood movie posters. Two white men in fine clothes stand together and hold a christmas wreath. The title says "Together on Parade" A queer historical romance by Sarah Wallace & S. O. Callahan

Same cover but cropped version to show a bit more details on the faces

Another vintage-style cover for a great story, that I was honoured to work with!

Digital illustration of Una and Owen, the two protagonists of the book The Everlasting written by Alix E. Harrow. Una is on the left, a tall woman in medieval armor holding a sword over her shoulder and a shield in her left. The text on the sword reads "erxa dominus", the shield is painted with a white tree on green ground. Her expression is fierce. Owen on the right is a slender man with glasses holding a revolver and a book. Behind them in the background is a blue circle, maybe an allusion to the characters' predicament.
