Hi, I'm Eleonor and I'm a freelance illustrator from Portugal! You can see my art in ttrpgs, card games, the one videogame, other assorted projects, and lately book covers :)
Everything I paint is 100% human-made, as are the occasional bad jokes ✌️

A digital illustration, by Eleonor Piteira, of Baba Jaga from the novella When Among Crows by Veronica Roth. A woman in darkness stares at the viewer with glowing eyes. Her hair is dark and long, and she is wearing a shawl with traditional Polish patterns, which are also featured on the background. She is holding dry thistles. There is a small golden circle behind her head. On the top of the illustration there is a silhouette of a city upside down. Poster illustration by Eleonor Piteira, for the short film Embers by Gerald McMorrow, showing a black woman with long braided hair in flowy beige robes rising above a city on a desert. She is holding a burning book, with some of its pages flying in the wind. Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira, of the book What Wakes the Bells by Elle Tesch, featuring a young white woman with light brown hair, with her back towards the viewer, face in profile, in front of a circular gothic-style window with stained glass. There are 5 figures in the stained glass design. Smoke hides the bottom half of the woman while skulls carved in the stone beneath the window peek through. Book cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira, of Evocation by S.T. Gibson, featuring a blond man in a dark suit upside down in the hanged man tarot pose, with a mysterious red hand grabbing at his chest. He is framed by a silver border.

Woe, free audiobook be upon ye!

I just got author links for the audiobook of The King Must Die and I've decided to share. Y'all don't even need to do anything to get 'em. Links below, one download each. First come, first served. [1/2]
Woe, The King Must Die audiobook be upon ye! It's that one Eminem meme of him throwing something, and the something is my third book :)

cover of THE SHAPE OF MONSTERS, book 2 in the Moon Heresies Trilogy, by Tessa Gratton against a dark teal background with stars and threads of magic. Cover depicts a brown skinned young man in a sleeveless red-brown robe pulling apart threads of magic with his bare hands. His left eye is golden and possibly connected to the magical threads. Beneath him is a magical bronze city-scape, and in the gray-brown sky a single bright blue star falls.

A more modern #dnd commission this time, Felicity :D
Painterly bust portrait of a pale woman in her thirties, arms crossed and expression fierce as she looks to the viewer. She has blue-black hair cut in a shoulder-length bob. She wears a leather jacket over a tank top and has deep red lipstick. The scene is dark, lit by a cool overhead light with a fainter orange glow off in the background.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a gorgeous piece of cinema like Guillermo’s Frankenstein 🖤

Using “looks almost final” placeholders will also force your project in a more generic direction. Non-artists will get attached to the generic slop placeholder and if you try to exchange it with something more interesting they’ll say it feels bad and force you back to the generic option.

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

I have to defend my peers and say there’s still amazing cover work out there if you look for it. But none of us are Jean-Léon Huens!

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.
Young man in a red tunic bearing a sword surrounded by armed glassy-eyed monsters A red robed horseman with a skull face and stag's antlers rides through the forest, the horse rearing back, a shaft of light falling onto the scene A red haired woman in a red dress and a boy in a blue doublet stand in front of a huge black cauldron. In the foreground, three cackling hags. A boy in a blue tunic with a dagger tries to get a sword away from a giant orange cat

An artwork for Polygon I somehow always forget about (2021)
A black, vivid and darker cold blue with yellow lights as a palette. the lights are that of a cinema set, people are lounging in the background, watching two very confident figures crossing arms, as if about to enter combat. It's the actress Kylie Minogue and actor Jean-Claude van Damme! They're wearing costumes for "Street Fighter", the Movie in the 19s. Please don't make me look up which characters they are cosplaying

Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)
Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

Unsolicited artist advice of the day: if you're a freelancer with no back up devices or storage, remember to pick a few things up in the black Friday sales. Even a pen drive to back up your projects so if you have a catastrophic hard drive failure you wont lose everything..learn from my mistakes. 😅

Here's the cover illustration I did of 'The Bloodweaver' by @cnkuster.bsky.social , for Podium Publishing!

Out June 2026!
Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira of the book 'The Bloodweaver' by C. N. Kuster, featuring a young man with eyes closed, holding a spiralling ball of blue magic in his hand. Through the light of the magic we can see the bones of his hand. He's wearing a uniform with a knife on his belt, and there is a landscape of vineyards on the background.
