Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Aleksi Gray! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Illustrator and comic artist. I love drawing queer fantasy. Fan of flowers, dramatic movement, elves, armor, flowing fabric ✨

Interested in cover art, end papers, or other book-related illustrations.

Illustration of a satyr diving down to kiss his merman love. Colors are soft, mainly greens and blues. Both men wear fancy layered outfits of patterned garments, and have long braided hair.

Book cover illustration. An armored elfin man holding a bow stands in a lush field of flowers and foliage. A fairy man with a lyre at his side hops up behind the elf, draping his arms around him. Mountains and a pink sky with the colors of a rising sun are in the background.

Illustration of an elfin man bound with green ropes. Many flowers are tucked into the ropes, nearly obscuring them. He wears a casual outfit with tall boots, a yellow shirt, and fitted pants with a high waist. He is kneeling, arms behind his back, and holds a flower. He looks comfortable.

Illustration of two men, both wearing elaborate crow-themed armor in hues from purple to blue. The elfin man on the left pulls in a surprised human in the middle, while his demon leans against his back. Vibrant colors and sparkles galore! The image is a redraw of a promo post for 2009 The Twelfth Night production.
