Big Dreams
A little red dragon (Ember, from the book "The Bakery Dragon" by Devin Elle Kurtz) is seen from above in this digital painting. He is sitting on cobblestones, which are wet with puddles after a rainstorm. He gazes up at the much larger dragons in the sky above him. They have dropped some gold coins they carry.

Undersea Sleepover
A digital painting of children at a sleepover playing with stuffed animals of undersea creatures like whales and sharks. Outside the window, we can see out into a starry and magical ocean filled with sea creatures mirroring the movements of the children's stuffed animals. Some kids wear blanket capes or play in a blanket fort. Some eat chips and pizza. Dogs run alongside them, past arranged sleeping bags and houseplants. It is warmly lit inside and cool out the window.

A girl with black and white hair, wearing a spotted dark-purple cloak, is summoning sparkling, ghostly whales and sea creatures from the ocean. She stands on a rock, lit by the yellow sparkling creatures above.

The final cover (I only drew the illustration, did not design the titles). I grew up reading the Warriors books so it was a real full circle moment to illustrate an Erin Hunter cover. Coming out this May! It's listed everywhere books are sold if you want to read the series description or pre-order!
The final cover art with the text: Renegades Book One, The Magic Awakens, by Erin Hunter, bestselling author of Warriors

Crystal Dragons from “Seven Ways Through the Woods” (out today!)
A girl with blonde hair wearing blue overalls looks through a spyglass as she floats down a sparkling, light-dappled forest river on a raft made up of woven rainbow dragons. There are seven dragons, each a different color of the rainbow, and they overlap to create a white glow beneath the girl’s feet. In the back are mossy trees and tall river reeds.

This is of course inspired by this classic My Neighbor Totoro poster! You can see a little more of that DNA in the initial sketch for this, but I thought a demon-colored tiny umbrella would be even funnier than the leaf, and liked the composition better with some edits.
A poster for my neighbor totoro by studio ghibli which depicts a little girl in an orange dress and white rainboots standing on reflective concrete next to the large, round totoro monster in the rain. The girl has a pink umbrella and totoro, wide eyed and in shadow, has a tiny leaf over his head. the rough sketch for the image described in the first post above. Derpy tiger has a green leaf on his head in this version.
