Eyo #portfolioday ! 🌿
I'm a UK based illustrator and comics artist, with a huge soft spot for nature, horror and ladies in armour. 🍄

Digital illustration. A woman sits on the edge of a giant bird's nest filled with cracked eggs - one of which is a different size and colour pattern to the rest. A shadow sits on the opposite side of the nest, turned away.

Comic page. A man walks through the woods. He turns, slowly, frightened by something off-panel.
"Looking back at it? I spent a lot of time chasing nothing. But, after that night, I think I had figured out what truly scared me-"

Digital illustration. A woman in armour holds a lantern aloft as she walks through a dense woodland.

Comic page. Two women walk through the woods until they come to a fairy ring - a circle of mushrooms. They laugh, teasing each other, before walking off panel, accidentally crossing into the ring as they do so.
"Me and my parents... We'd had a fight. And Haylee... She'd been around. Just like she always was. Said she'd found something weird in the woods."

I think this has to be my favourite fan art of the bachelor, the red lighting forming the silhouette of the polyhedron is just -chef kiss-

I made this as a lil mock cover last year using the name of my ghostie dude Alden's bar and then immediately wanted to use the name for another completely unrelated project, such is the way of things

Digital illustration. A man polishing a glass at a bar; in front of him are two translucent, ghostly silhouettes on bar stools. One is of a man in a fedora, and the other is a woman in flapper garb, smoking. In the centre is text reading "The Final Resting Place".

Danse Macabre. From my vast knight backlog.

Digital illustration. A knight with an arrow through their chest, a part of a circle of skeletons holding hands as they dance around a flame. The knight's expression is terrified.
