Hi everyone! I'm R. Castelli, a freelance illustrator when I'm not wearing other hats. I enjoy bringing characters and worlds to life with a brush and a pencil. Thanks for stopping by!

"...such endless avenues of fishy-eyed vacancy and death..." 🐙

Leaning into the Lovecraftian. Deep Ones, Innsmouth denizens, eldritch horrors... Might take this further in a full painting.

A sketch by R. Castelli depicting a Lovecraftian humanoid creature, part-fish, perhaps a denizen of Innsmouth in an advanced state of metamorphosis.

I think you guys are building a legacy in the line of Andrew Loomis's "Creative Illustration" and the classic "Famous Artists" coursebook series, for artists in the digital age. Fantastic stuff, keeping a tradition alive. ❤️

Some horrors. Naming your demons is cool, but drawing them is cooler. 👿

I think it's wonderful. The light feels alive, the reflections shimmer, and the figures on the bridge give it a subtle narrative. It's a good composition.
