Hoppy #PortfolioDay 🐸

I'm Appel, a freelance illustrator and product designer from the Netherlands! I specialize in product designs and character design and have been dipping my toes more into book art. I sell my products at conventions and my webshop.

studioappeltjesgroen.com

Two sides of a bookmark made for the Dutch translation of One Dark Window for the book box of So Many Pages, a Dutch book subscription. It depicts Elspeth Spindle in her red dress on one side and the Nightmare on the other shrouded in mist.

Personal work of Circe, inspired by the book Circe by Madeline Miller. Circe is walking in her forest with boars, wolves and a lion.

Personal work of Dramione. The couple is hugging each other under a starry sky and we see the back of Draco Malfoy and half the face of Hermione Granger above his shoulder.

Full illustration made for my Patreon Frog Mail members. It depicts Floris the Frog reading in his bed surrounded by books and a light on reading Frog and Toad.

The reason I wanna read Don't Let The Forest In is partly due to your cover art, it's so good!

A colourful artwork with a ducky throwing a frog happily up while floating along a pond filled with pink lily flowers.

Floris the Frog reading a book in his bed with a quilted plaid and a frog tea pot on it.

Essek Thelyss from Critical Role but reimagined as a frog (or a Grung if you wanna go D&D TTRPG specific). He's floating while casting a Dunemancy spell inbetween his hands.

Circe, Greek Mythology, the first witch, walking through her forest amongst two hogs, two wolves and a lion. She looks to the viewer from a side eye as if you are suddenly spotted. Inspired by Circe by Madeline Miller
