A tarot card for The Magician featuring my original character Vespertine. He is a slender man with purple skin, four horns, long dark hair, and a tail, wearing a black sleeveless top with golden geometric elements and black trousers underneath a long orange robe with a green belt. He holds a glowing magical scroll above his head and points to the ground with his other hand. Behind him, a city with spiralling towers is visible against a night sky, distorted by glitch-like effects.

The Magician: willpower, illusion, deception, cunning

Woe, first art post of 2026 be upon ye! Here's a piece I made for a fun OC tarot card project last year, featuring Vespertine in his (subject to change) design for Sunder the Sky ✨

Illustration of my original character Raine, climbing the rigging of a ship and shielding their eyes to look out over the sea with a smile. Raine is a non-binary humanoid figure - but with a short fluffy tail - with long brown hair in a yellow bow, freckles, a cropped white shirt showing off their abs, and loose black trousers with a purple and turquoise sash around their waist. Behind them is a bright blue sky with large, fluffy clouds.

Close to the Sun ☀️

I won't be posting EVERY picture from my OC pinup zine, but I was too happy with how this one turned out not to share! Raine in their favourite place in the world (apart from on Ez's lap) - the good ship Blue Morpho 🌊

Semi-abstract illustration of a dark castle with tall spires floating in a darkened sky with clouds lit by the sunset below. A crescent moon hangs partially shattered into pieces above the castle, with stars visible in the crescent, indicating that this is not an ordinary moon. Roiling clouds below give way for a glowing winged figure plunging out of the sky. The title text reads 'Sunder the Sky' with my name, Bex Read, underneath.

Project announcement! ✨

I'm currently working on the first draft of my illustrated fantasy novel, under the working title Sunder the Sky! There's still a LOT to do, but while I work on it, art and snippets will be posted under the tag #SunderTheSky. Please stay tuned! 💜👀
