Hello #portfolioday ! I'm a comic artist and illustrator with several books to my name.

Can find my portfolio and books here. Not open for any comic collabs at the moment but open for illustration commissions, cover work, and author visits!

Announcing my new short comic, "Fury"! My first self-published autobio in a while. Fury explores my complex relationship with anger and difficulties expressing it. The print version will be available to buy at Thought Bubble, with the digital version to be posted in full later in the year

Angry, snarling black wolf with "Fury" over it

Me from the chest-up, pasting on a polite smile

Me attacking the black wolf, my teeth sharp, nails sharp as claws and eyes also yellow like the wolf

Most shocking fact about me is that I'm not really into horror all that much and a BIG scaredy cat but Higurashi no naku koro ni is my favourite anime of all time and one of the best works I've ever consumed

Vivian 🐿️ Risu @superrisu.bsky.social · 13d

Watching my friend play Silent Hill F every night has me waking up like a zombie every morning but oh man it's so good and it's making me want to rewatch Higurashi

Beano: The Day The Teachers Disappeared. I used to read the 1998 Beano annual constantly as a kid. Never in my life did I ever think I could get to work with Beano themselves! I'm so grateful to Craig, Mike, Rhiannon and the rest of the team for this opportunity.

I Am Fun Size, And So Are You! Written by the wonderful Anjali Bhimani, I had never met such a kind and bubbly human being before. This self-help book is full of drawings of the adorable Charley the dog and a ton of voice actors. It was incredible getting to know Anjali and the wisdom she brings.

A Chinese cookbook graphic novel that taught me a lot about my own culture. Ying has such a great writing style that easily connects to her readers in playful ways. It was so fun for me to just let loose with my art on this book and I still love showing it off today.

Cooking with Monsters 1 and 2 (and working on 3 right now). It saddens me that not enough people have seen how much love Jordan and I have poured into this due to outside circumstances. Despite it all, I still love every minute working on this and I'm determined to bring it all in the third book!

Vivian 🐿️ Risu @superrisu.bsky.social · 22d

Here are some of my other books you can check out! We have the two sequels to City of Dragons (and a fourth along the way!) I love this series and everything it has given me. Jaimal has written such a fantastic story that will live on many young kids hearts today.

Vivian 🐿️ Risu @superrisu.bsky.social · 22d

Four years ago I released my first every graphic novel. Since then, I've released 8 books and working on two more right now. No matter how tough some days are, I'll always be super grateful that I'm working my dream job and to all the amazing people I've worked with and met throughout the years.

Authors & publishers posting abt illustrated books or using an illustrator's work to promote a book, pls credit ILLUSTRATOR.

Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist.

Large blue text reads, “Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators?” Beside the text, a roundish blue winged horse contains the text “#Pictures Mean Business.” At the bottom is the credit: “Illustration: Sarah McIntyre along with a website link.
