Hello #Portfolioday
I'm a book cover artist and character designer for Achillean romance and MM books in various sub-genres.
I work with fantasy, urban fantasy, historical romance and adventure, and can do cyberpunk, steampunk. I'm style-flexible if a project interests me.

Cover art for a 2nd book in the series called 52 HZ
It shows a young man with black hair and his eyes closed floating in water and a huge whale is visible behind his head.
Another man with read hair is sitting in the director's chair in the front plane as if he's imagining the first young man as his creative vision.

Book cover art for "Blood Sails" by Sierra. J. Meril
Two white men caught ina dynamic fight on a deck of a pirate ship.
They are both dressed in richly decorated pirate clothes. One is a mage and has a fire spell ready to launch that is in a shape of a fiery bird. The other hold a sabre. Despite them fighting some erotic tention is palpable between them

A book cover: Rears & Vices by E.M. Caro. The cover has three men: an auburn-haired man, a black-haired man, and a blond man, all dressed in early 19th century clothing, all clearly sailors. The auburn-haired man is embracing the black-haired man across the shoulders. The blond is standing protectively by, holding the hilt of his sword.

Cover of "The Mage and his stolen prince" by J.E. Ridge

A young man in black clothes and long silver hair sits on a stone ruin. Another man with bright red hair sits near his feet and leans his head towards the blond man's knee.
They both hold magical purple flowers in their hands.
A beautiful mysterious garden is in the background.

I found someone to adopt our last two kittens as a pair! I’m so exited that they will be staying together and going to a good home, but it’s also bittersweet… my babies….. 🥲🥲🥲

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I liked when James Baxter used to do occasional guest spots on animated TV shows. I assume studios had a bat signal for him, except instead of a static bat it was a horse running in perspective towards the camera while the camera rotated around it

Sharing this thread from a queer artist who needs $$$ help, and I figured this image (my fav sticker of theirs) might resonate with folks.

Sticker says: Please give a bitch a break, I work very hard, I’m trying my best, I’m so tired all the goddamn time
