Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm a freelance illustrator specializing in animal and fantasy art. :) I love working on book covers and just about anything involving Creatures.

A mostly black and white illustration of a person covered in dark moth wings crouched in a branch with chin in hand. The red eyes on the moth wings are the only color in the piece. Ash-like speckles dot the background.

An illustration of Estinien from the video game Final Fantasy XIV raising a large lance above a castle. Behind him the dark head of the dragon Nidhogg can be seen with a glowing red eye. A border with crude dragon emblems and spark spikes surrounds the piece.

An illustration of an otter rising from stylized waves holding a large pearl in its hands. A stylized sun shines behind the otter's head and seaweed flanks the piece.

An illustration of a wolf rising above three swords while holding another sword in its mouth. The moon shines behind its head with stylized rays shining from it in light blue and gold. A wood-like border carved with wolf heads, moons, and other decorations borders the piece.

🐉 "The tale of thy kind is one of avarice, treachery, and death— and thou wouldst speak to me of peace? Hark thee, mortal, to the naked truth... then tell me thou deservest forgiveness!"

The great wyrm Hraesvelgr joins the Untamed TT collection✨

Illus. @hexerite.bsky.social
#ffxiv #ff14 #dragon

An illustration of the great wymr Hraesvelgr from FFXIV. He is holding a glowing crystal, pressing it close to his chest, and handling it with extreme care. His eyes are peaceful but his posture is ready to defend his treasure at all cost. The illustration has gold decorative borders and numbers and looks like a card used in a card game. The numbers suggest it can be played in a game called Triple Triad.
