Hi, I'm an illustrator, graphic designer and I also write. 😊
I love cozy and whimsical art, golden hour light, cute creatures and everything magical.
I also like to share my rpg inspired art, sometimes.

She happily leans her head against the head of a snakelike furry dragon that wears a collar with a strawberry tag.

Bitte keine "Hab ich mal schnell gegoogelt" Warrior, ich brauche Hilfe von Leuten, die da wirklich eigene Erfahrungen haben und sich gut auskennen beim Thema CE Kennzeichnung bei selbst modellierten und gedruckten 3D Figuren aus Resin.

Teilen gibt Karmapunkte, Kuss.

He's a character in my DnD group. 😊

Cutting all the little inktober drawings.
My finger hurts a bit from holding the cutter. The paper is really thick.

One of the best things about being an artist is to make cute little presents for my husband. And since he is my biggest fan and supporter he's always so happy about them. 🥰

Tomorrow is St. Nicholas's Day, so I made a new version of his wolf. 🎄 ☺️
Stickersheet with a chibi wolf on it holding a cup that says "f*ck off" surrounded by the text "fueled by coffee & spite". Above that is another version of that same wolf now wearing a santa hat, with stars around him. The word "coffee" was crossed out in red and the word "Glühwein" was written above it

Frost ❄️🤍
A Korean woman stands on a bridge as she looks up at a glowing snowflake. A white snowy dragon wraps around the snowflake. The scene is inspired by a garden of morning calm in Korea.

This year my friend Harvey finally got a santa hat that fits him better. The one before was way too small. 🥰

I haven't been decorating in the last years even though I really loved it before. I was just too sad. This year I finally found the joy and motivation again to do it again. And it was the best decision. Looking at the lights makes me so happy. ❤️
Window sims with christmas decorations. Most notably a curtain of glowing stars cristmas lights in the window.

Trying new way to draw: acrylic paints on a canvas. It's round metallic pin 5.5cm size
Drawing by acrylics was hard after years of using watercolors and pencils ^^'

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤

#art #painting #portrait #illustration
“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

What is your favourite book at the moment?

I don't read as much as I used to. As a child I was basically living at the library but this year I think haven't finished reading any (just for fun) book. Only artbooks, some rpg rulebooks and half of an autismn selfhelp book. 😅
Illustration of some green, brown and reddish books with golden applications. Mushrooms and plants are growing from the books and a little snail with glowing windows and a glowing lantern on it's shell is climbing over the books. One of the books is heavily decorated with golden swirls and one can find a door and glowing windows on it. On it's top is a little chimney and smoke come out of it. On the left side of the picture is an inkjar and a feather and on the right side stands a potions bottle, half filled with a red-pink liquid and golden leaves.

November is almost over. So I share my november ko-fi rewards again, before they're gone 🥰

Do you like books?
This month the rewards for my ko-fi supporters are perfect for booklovers and people who'd love some cozy hours colouring.
🥰✨📚

November "Cozy friends" Rewards Colouring page: books with plants and mushrooms growing from them. A cute little snail with a lantern at it's shell is climbing over the books. Next to the books, on the left side, is a small ink jar and infront of the books lies a feather. Next to the books on the right side is a pretty potion bottle with crystal cork and plants floating inside the bottle. November "Cozy Friends" Rewards: Colouring page of three bookmarks. The first on the left reads: Just one more chapter. Beneath the next are bookbacks and plants growing from the books. Under them is a play bar for music, one can see the pause button. The bookmark in the middle has a tall stack of books surrounded by stars and flowers. Above is the text: There is no such thing as too many books. The third bookmark in the right reads: Between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be. The text is surrounded by floating books, some open, some closed, a cup, a candle in a jar, an ink jar with feather and stars, plants and sparkles.
