You know when you have to do a nsfw commission, and you have to look for references...

Deep in the North-Atlantic ocean, there is cod and swordfish.

Working on an underwater scene for a commission today. I'm pretty happy with how it's coming along so far!

Finished Wonho's full transformation into demon idol. Considering I did it a bit on a whim, I'm not unhappy with it. Might have gone a bit crazy with the patterns, though 😅😅😅

This is beginning to take shape! I think these covers will be nice for a fantasy/murder mystery type of story. More elements to go on, though!

Do pearls, they said...😅 They came out pretty well, though. The definition is not good enough to zoom in this much, though, but it's a really small detail.

New line art for my new project. It's going to be quite romantic, in a semi-gothic kind of way ^_^

Today, an example of template for sM carousels, to add text to. This one is for To Outfox a Prince, the MM Fantasy by S.A. Monroe

It’s always a special feeling when you see your work in the flesh. I was with Megs Pritchard at ShiMMer on Saturday, displaying these and many other amazing books 💜💜💜

Creating some elements for my new premade covers. I have a vision! It still has to be seen if I can bring it to life 🤞🏻

This is the background I created for To Outfox a Prince. The cover illustrates the balcony scene.

I fell in love with the colour palette.

Another additional element illustration for the back cover of the mm fantasy, To Outfox a Prince. Anyone wants to guess what the animal for book 3 will be?

Additional element illustration for the back cover of the mm fantasy romance The Lionheart’s Bond. I’m loving drawing these animals 🥰🥰🥰

My first ever chibi! This one is of Elyn, the FMC of The Chosen Bride. It was a lot of fun but, unsurprisingly, more work than it first appeared it be 😅😅😅

Working on a new Illustration for The Elemental Bride series. This will be a new portrait of Ar'ek, and I'm trying to bring in the magic to it.

Getting customer feedback is always the best, especially when they're happy 😅😅😅

And it's always a pleasure to work with someone who gives you quite a bit of creative freedom 💜💜💜

Canva mockups do a great job, but I can't wait to see how they look in real life. Only 2 days to wait for them!

My latest work were these new covers for author Megs Pritchard special editions of her completed Hiscock Family series. It was great to collaborate with her to create these illustrations!

My first illustrated, MM romance covers. Because the series is a fairytale retelling, I wanted to capture the mood of the illustrations in old books, with an art nouveau touch to them.

There are 7 books, so watch this space for more!
