Black and white illustration, drawn with ballpoint pen: what appears to be a young woman is looking, with a surprised expression and raised hands, at an open book, from which light, flames, and various figures emerge. The book rests on an animal-shaped lectern, and black octopus tentacles extend from beneath it. Flames emerge from the book, outlining figures such as flowers, wings, small animals, and faces. When they reach the top of the page, they envelop three large cacti.
"Voices, voices in her head, telling a thousand things at once: voices of the dead and voices of the living, singing the river of life"
Work in progress for the cover of the first collection of short stories written by @cactusdifuoco.bsky.social.

Cover of a book entitled "A Little (Colorable) Guide to Fantastic Creatures." In the center of the cover is an oriental dragon, partially colored (with red scales, golden horns and eyes, and a green-blue mane), and partially black and white. The cover background is red. The Fire Cactus logo is visible behind the dragon, semi-transparent.
Little thread of chibi fantasy creatures! YAY!
(They're the creatures you'll find inside the "Small (Colorable) Guide to Fantastic Creatures", with text from @cactusdifuoco.bsky.social!)

Illustration, done in black ballpoint pen, of Benedetta talking to a child (who is trying to show that he isn't scared), while a group of other children look on. They are all wearing soccer uniforms.
"I'm not scared of a little spider! I'm not, I told you!"

Sol and Leo! They're obviously judging you from behind their sunglasses.
They're writers in the crazy "Gli Dei in Catene" writing room.

A portrait of Leo :)
(Yes, this will also be used for his reference page. Yes, we're having a lot of fun drawing him. Yes, we finished three different commissions as quickly as we could, so we wouldn't feel guilty about drawing him.)

Werhunter has said "enough!" to Iron-Man armors: you have to arm yourself to strike terror into the hearts of your opponents, and although his cyber-armor is super technologically advanced, it was designed to make him look like a pissed-off forest deity.

She is one of the characters we have drawn the least... maybe it's because she doesn't appear very much in her "saga", but we assure you that she is super interesting! Hannah Potter, called "the Dragoness", from "Bloodhound", sketched with black ballpoint pen.
