Queen Gwenevere @queengwenevere.bsky.social · 7h

Woohoo, #PortfolioDay ! I’m Gwenevere Singley, illustrator and general art wrangler! I’ve worked in games, animation, interactive media, TTRPGs, comics, and I’d love to work on more!

(All oil on canvas except the big fight scene, which was painted in Photoshop)

Portfolio: gwensingley.com

The Rose Queen, in a grand rose gown, is surrounded by her court of elegant bee attendants in a spacious pavilion decked with roses. The bee courtiers are all vying for her attention.

A knight on a white horse, setting out to find a dragon in a mountainous wild wasteland, has just encountered the dragon’s aunt. She is MASSIVE, half pompous matron and half dragon, decked with curls, pearls, and feathers (or are they horsetails?) with a long scaly tail stretching back into the mountains, and a formidable gold lorgnette, through which she examines the knight. She does not approve.

A joyful zebra, that is also a knight, ON FIRE, with stripes and tail turning to flames, garbed in a golden helmet with plumes that also turn to flames, rearing up and holding a striped lance that is also on fire, setting out on an adventure across sunny mountains, along a road leading to a golden castle. A little fire salamander friend tags along.

Cover for the Sword Opera TTRPG: a half a dozen motley renaissance characters are having a huge brawl near a baroque pavilion in a garden. A swordsman in black faces off against a swordswoman in red, behind them a be-turbaned swordsman with a blue flaming scimitar is restrained by a pleading damsel, a ruffian in yellow with a couple of daggers sprawls in the foreground, a sneaky rogue in a weird hat circles behind with a dagger, and another damsel kneels behind the duelists begging both her lovers to desist. Dramatic mountains and storm clouds set the scene.

A green graphic showing a book cover and text.

Book cover: Daughters of Nicnevin by Shona Kinsella. Two women in 18th century highland dress stand back to back in the middle of a field. They are surrounded by men made of straw. The atmosphere is threating, brooding.

Text reads: Out November 11th from Flame Tree Press. "Sweeping and evocative, Daughters of Nicnevin is lush, earnest, and painfully heartfelt. Every word etches truth in your soul; when it comes to Scottish history tinged with magic, there is no greater authority. Compelling and bone-shakingly real, Kinsella is a beautiful and singular voice." - David Green, author of the Empire of Ruin series

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

The artwork shows a ceremony on a patio. There's a round pool in the center of the image and a round arch in the background. Sisters of the convent are placed in different locations performing different parts of the ritual. Half of them wear a peacock mask and half of them wear sun-like headpieces. There's a woman in the center on the horse. She wears a blue dress decorated with mosaic-like patterns. The horse is covered with blue patterns and stands still above the water. Two twins are sitting on the floor surrounded by large lilies. Behind them one sister plays a harp and another one is holding two bowls with mysterious light. There's a big mosaic tree in the background with other sisters dancing around it. There are two other sisters on top of the wall waving scarves. The artwork is mostly blue and light green

The whiplash I experienced when suddenly in Holly she was described as a blond white woman while all this time I was imagining her as Cynthia Erivo.
Cynthia will always be Holly Gibney to me
