Hi!!! There are a lot of new people following me here and I thought I'd reintroduce myself!

My name is Danny and I'm an illustrator mostly for Magic: The Gathering, Tarot stuff and publishing projects. I love nature and vibrant colors and characters, but mostly just good stories are my jam.

Here's the cover illustration I had the pleasure of painting for 'The Shape of Monsters' by @tessagratton.bsky.social , for Orbit Books!

It's Book 2 of The Moon Heresies trilogy and sequel to The Mercy Makers 🌔

Out June 2026!
Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira of the book 'The Shape of Monsters' by Tessa Gratton, featuring a reddish-brown skinned young man with dark short curled hair, dressed in a sleeveless dark robe. His left eye is glowing gold and he's pulling gold geometric threads apart with this hands. Below, there is the silhouette of a city, one small moon, and two tiny sky whales.

I like to see the arks flying across the sky at dusk; they look like big clouds stretching from one end of the sky to the other.

My mom, also an artist, drew me pictures to color when coloring books didn’t quite have what I was looking for. One day — I must have been 3, 4? — I vividly remember suddenly understanding that she was making pictures with her hands, and that was all I ever wanted to do after.

sketch-like digital painting made in heavypaint with lasso brush. it depicts the korok forest in mostly brown and yellow colours, highly inspired by how it looks in tloz botw. there are some korok shadows, the glowing pea plants pods decorations, glowing fireflies and a lot of greenery. there’s the master sword on its pedestal in the middle of the picture, also glowing, and link himself standing close to it, like he didn’t expect to stumble upon it.

Captain Torture
A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

Cover for Celine Leonora's "A Lesson in Murder," published by Arena-Verlag. This was my first time working with a German publishing company and they were so polite, and efficient, and respectful 🥲 13/10 client.
Illustrated cover of a blonde girl in a plaid school uniform looking out from a gothic window surrounded by fall ivy foliage. Reflected in the squares of the window are two boys faces, one blonde, one black haired with glasses.

still recovering and reflecting after a truly wonderful MagicCon. I am so grateful to all the people who came to my booth and bought my work and had me sign many many Into the Flood Maws, and to all my fellow artists who made me feel welcome and like I belonged. I love making art for this game!

Just a lil' guy.
Photo: A close-up of a hand holding a small grey sculpture. There are some sculpting tools out of focus in the background. The sculpture is of a little creature with leaves growing from its head.

I love Avatar so I had a lot of fun with this one 😆
An image of Aang’s fan club on Kyoshi Island. A group of villagers cheers at the sight of the avatar. A man in the front is so excited he is foaming at the mouth. A young girl on the right cheers and holds a stuffed Appa toy.
