Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m an illustrator with a focus on fantasy, history & narrative illustration.

My dream is to illustrate more book covers with beautiful badass characters, especially women in armor. Please make it happen, universe 🙏

Illustration of a knight or paladin or swordfighter in chainmail and cloak, drawing her sword, stepping over a water surface towards the viewer. Behind her, a flock of swans rises up into the sky.
A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread. King Arthur sits on the ground next to a mossy rock, proudly thrusting the sword Excalibur up into the air, suggesting that he's just drawn it out from the stone. It has a magical blue glow. In the background, some people cheer his success, while a few others seem miffed about it.

Interior art (overlays) for Kiera Azar's "Thorn Season", commissioned by LitJoyCrate!

These were great fun and I hope to do more romantasy illustration like this.

Alissa and Kiel, dressed extravagantly for the Budding Ball. They are hidden between swaths of silk curtains, standing almost near enough to kiss. It’s a stolen moment, and he's just helped her untangle a chandelier earring from her hair. Zoomed in shot of King Erik, forcibly 'helping' Alissa wield her
bow, while directing it at one of the nearby girls. They are nearly cheek to cheek, his hands gripping Alissa's on the bow so she is unable to struggle free. He looks forward with wicked glee, and she struggles to hide her alarm. Garret and Alissa in carriage, just after first ball. Alissa (wearing a pink dress with big skirt and puffy sleeves) is agitated, and she is using her powers to twirl a coin in the air. Garret is stone-faced, hands balled into fists, frustrated that she is practicing outlawed magic.

If I recall correctly it was showing a full spreadsheet with a lot of different info before that you could scroll/leaf through ... so I'm missing both that, and also the search which doesn't bring up anything now.

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. 😊 The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character 😅
A woman with a shaved head in gold armor stands among dark briars. The briar thorns pierce her armor and skin in a few places, and she hangs her head in a defeated posture.

A vintage-inspired illustration in a square format. This image features a butterfly amongst the flowers, decorated with a floral frame. The artwork is rendered in hues of blues, with a vibrant solid shade of pink as the backdrop.

A warrior ceremony in ancient Crete

We know so little about religious rituals in Minoan culture that I can't tell you what is happening here. But we can assume that war also played a role in them. Here my task was to imagine what it could've looked like if you were there.

Client: Board & Dice
Ancient Minoan warrior kneeling in front of a woman whose face we don't see. He's bowing his head and ceremoniously handing her a gilded battle axe. She is dressed like royalty and wears jewelry, he's decked out in his battle armor. In the background, soldiers with leather shields and spears stand in a row.

Hell yeah. Always choose the art ✨

I hope I can visit Crete some day too! :D Thank you.
