2025 was the year of more muted color palettes, surreal elements, and a deep love for Cobalt Turquoise.

"Fangs for Nothing" - interior illustrations
"Metropolis Down" - character art
and my contribution to the Folio Society illustration contest (beyond honored to be among the long-listed works!)
Book interior illustration in acrylic paints, with an overall purple and blue color palette. The illustration shows a book club meeting at a book store, with books on shelves and stacked on the floor. The book club members are four young women, sitting on cushions, on the floor, and stacks of book. The one on the left has long black hair, brown skin, and wears a loose white sweater and comfortable shorts. The one in the center is wearing a red shirt and skirt, is pale and has long blond hair. She's framed by a large window, and we can see the silhouette of a man in the front of a night sky observing her or the entire group. To the right, sitting perched on a stack of book, is a curly-haired woman wearing a flowy purple and teal dress and holding a wine glass, her red hair lit by teal fairy lights. To the front on the right sits a young woman with tan skin, brown shoulder-length hair, wearing a green turtleneck. Her eyes are closed as she's reading a book written in braille. Cupcakes and drinks of all kinds are scattered around the group, and the scene is lit by candles and fairylights, and the moon outside. An interior book illustration painted in acrylics, showing two characters at a pottery wheel, though only one of them - a young woman with long blonde hair in a ponytail and wearing a red dress - is focused on the actual pottery. The unnaturally pale man with long black hair and wearing a black shirt with draped sleeves and hints of a medieval doublet, in contrast to the modern clothing of the woman. He is distracted by the woman's neck, his eyes having a subtle red glow. The background is painted in neutral brown and gray, showing hints of finished and glazed pottery projects. An acrylic illustration of two characters for a science fiction book, with a space horror theme. The two men are in a surrealist space environment, a black hole-like void absorbing what looks to be both nebulae and vertebrae arranged in abstract spirals. The taller of the two men, with curly brown hair, a short beard and green eyes, tan skin with freckles, is staring towards the void. The second character is in front of him, as if in a defensive position, holding a knife with a red streak of blood on it. He has ear-length black hair, a pale and delicate face and a scar over his lips. He's wearing partial body armor. Both characters are being grabbed at by flayed human hands. An illustration in acrylics inspired by Rapunzel, showing her as a girl with blonde hair that has just been cut. Her braid is falling away, and individual hair strands fall behind her as if shaping wings. She's fleeing from her tower, a simplified white shape with a dark window that cuts through the composition.

a digifal illustration depicting a sunlit forest clearing on which a ruined fort stands. its built of white stone with ivy slowly overtaking it a d through out the image, there are a few goblins scattered, patrolling the grounds. the one we see most clearly, on the foreground carries a spear and a grin on his face. three painted portraits side by side: 1- portrait of a brown haired pale man done in the style of an old looking oil painting. it is contained on a thin oval frame a d lit by a single point above. it shows a man wringing out his hands on a dirty rag. he is dressed in a worn white shirt, daek waiscoat and a pale yellow necktie. his hair is falling loosely around his face in a messy ponytail and gis face bears marks of decay. his eyes are glazed over like eyes of a corpse and he has the look of tightly concealed anguish on his face. 2- Digital painting of a pale, thin looking dark haired young man with a sad, contemplative expression, staring somewhere into space to the side. He's wearing early late georgian attire- white shirt, yellow cravate and a dark coat. His hair is chin-lenght and wind -toussled. His eyes are a very pale blue and he has small, dark lips with a prominent cupids bow. His nose is larghe, hooked at the end and thin and his eyes are big and downturned with heavy lids. The painting is done in a loose painterly style, the background is a pale yellow and the portrait rests inside an ovel shape, with a dark grey colour being around it. At the bottom there are a few inscriptions reading: "Andrei Croft", "England 1835", and in cursive in the middle there is a Like 12:2 quote in latin. 3-portrait painting of a dark skinned older woman with white hair and pearl earrings. she is wearing a victorian style green blouse embridered with flowers and is smirking slightly while staring at the viewer head on. two illustrations next to eachother: 1- digital illustration on black background depicting a few different scenes. The character shown are a soft-faced nun (Catherine) and a larger, more androgynous figure with straw colored hair (Nikola). The top image shows them standing in front a of a small church, with autumn coloured nature around and a pile of debris burning to the side, smoke rising from it. Below that, there is a drawing of Nikky with blood ont heir face, and a second one showing it being cleaned off by Catherine. On the left there id a drawing that shows Nikky kneeling, hunched on the ground, blood splatter clothing, with Catherine standing tall above her, watching. And ont he right side there is a drawing of the two in profile. Catherine is golding up Niklky's chin with two delicate fingers and Nikky is kneeling on their heels and is lookign up with a set jaw. 2- a digital illustration of a hunched-over figure ont heir hands and knees with a dark background. The figure has blonde hair and a long tan trenchcoat. their face is fully obscured as they bend over a splatter of blood ont he floor, pushing themselves up on clawed pale hands. Above the figure, there is a drawing of a clawed red hand holding a the same pale figure curled up in its palm. Viscous liquid dripping down from it. At the top of the page, there are two beige-coloured hounds curling in on themselves in agonised positions. One is curling forward with its tongue curling out and the other is biting at its own side. There are three small paragraphs of text in red ink and a typewriter style font reading: "A Thing, touched by the hand of the beast", "Something rotting, marked, wretched, coiling and writhing behind each of their ribs", "Planted there by the ichor-slick-black-dripping hand of the Devil" four illustrations side by side: 1-digital illustration of a witchy woman under a full moon holding a skull. she is wearing a loose dress, trinket jewelery, her skin is dark, reflecting the blue hues of the sky and her hair is in dreadlocks. 2- a painting showing a crazed village woman mid-transformation into a corvid demon. the light from the moon is red and she is levitating in a corn field, her body contorting and a crazed smile adorning her face. 3-a digital painting of a young girl in viking-style dress, sorrounded by a fluttering group of crows. The background is a foggy, cold, branble area of sorts with dried grass at her feet and her dress is a muted jean-blue. She has a woven belt, a pouch hanging off it and a fur cloak around her shoulders. there is some viking style brass jewelery around her neck. Her hair is blonde , tied back and she has short bangs. There is a determined exúression on her face and her fists are clenched as if getting ready to stand her ground. At the bottom of the page, there is a copyright bar reading: © Studio Agate 2025, Shadows of Esteren: Dearg 2, Charlie "Newt" Borovský 2023 @EyeOfTheNewt 4-A thin vertical illustration in an Art Nouveau poster style depicting a small man in a paired dance with a dark horned figure. The devil is clad in flowing fabrics and furs, his skin dark grey. He is tipping the smaller man back, one hand supporting at the small of his back and the other intertwined with the other's fingers. Andrei is wearing a short with billowy sleeves, a green west and tightly fitting pants with white socks and fancy shoes. He has a shocked expression on his face as he's being tipped back and his medium lenght dark brown hair falls freely. The background is made of intricate decorative designs and the text on top says: Saltiato Cum Diabolo.

Jonathan and Mina Harker, from the 'Windows into Dracula' art zine cover

acrylics on watercolor paper with a coating of soft gel medium
A close-up on a small part of a larger illustration, showing interpretations of Jonathan and Mina Harker from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Mina has a stern impression, rosy skin and dark brown hair. She's wearing a black gown with a structured cut and silver buttons, and she holds a book as if just done doing research. Jonathan stands behind her in a loose-fitting brown coat, his tan skin looking pale, his face anxious and worried and hair white after the horrors he experienced in Dracula's castle. White book pages fall around them, and we can see hints of a castle in the background.

I can share my Dracula art any day of the year, right?

Mina Harker, acrylics on linen canvas
A portrait painting showing Mina Harker, a character from Bram Stoker's Dracula. She's a woman with dark brown hair and pale skin, lit dramatically by red light from the right, as she faces down the viewer. Her forehead is marked with a scar-like burn; inflicted by the vampire. The background is a night sky with falling letters, some hinting at quotes from the book. Painted in acrylics on linen canvas for a slight texture.

Be there, or be haunted by the knowledge that you missed it; hounded by the spectre of spooks unlistened.
Or, like, catch the VOD later. You do you.
An old illustration of a gormless looking dude, labelled as "You, watching my stream, startled and unnerved". He is staring at a weird skull spider thing lablled "The M.R. James ghost story I'm telling". In the corner is a cat labelled "One of my cats".
