A digital illustration of a horned character rising from the ground inside a circular stone building in high-angle perspective. They are surrounded by and imbued with green fire-like magic. Human skulls swirl around them. A digital illustration featuring two fairy characters standing together as a flock of pale teal moths swirl around them. One character has with pale blue-green skin, dark eye makeup and long orange-red hair, in blood-red and black helm and armor resembling the carapace of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. They hold the second character, who has pale pink skin, soft features, and fluffy short pink hair, in a pink and green outfit reminiscent of a pink rose. The full-wrap book cover illustration for the novel VOW OF ETERNAL NIGHT by Lily Crozier. It features a brunette woman and dark-haired man in both in 1700s inspired clothing in shades of red and crimson, standing in front of a full moon. A digital illustration of a pale-skinned, horned woman with long black hair, black eyes, white paint on the top half of her face, and dried blood down her neck. She is dressed in ragged black robes with bone, metal, and rope accessories. A black wolf made of smoke with red glowing eyes stands behind her. They both stand upon bloodied snow, and the northern lights flare in the sky.

I don't think I've shared this piece on its own before. An illustration I did in early 2025 ( a year ago 💀) for author Emily Rath featuring characters from her novel North is the Night.

A very fun commission for a lovely private client that was my last finished art of 2025💜🧜‍♂️
A digital illustration of two characters on a pale gradient background. A masculine siren/merman character with top surgery scars, long silver hair, pale lilac skin, purple scaled tail, and translucent pink fins holds a slender, nude human with dark hair. The merman is grasping a human heart that trails viscera from a hole in the humans chest. There is a bitemark indicated on the human's throat, and the merman has blood around his mouth.

I've been re-listening to Frankenstein on audio in preparation for the movie & felt compelled to start painting the monster. Sort of inspired by Del Toro's version, sort of just vibes. #wip
