Chapter 1 is pretty much a lock. Wherever happens with the rest, this is how I want the book to start. Started working on a simple little piece of art based on it this week to celebrate. Ultimately, I would like to do one for each chapter and include them in the finished publication.

ICYMI: Commissions are now closed. I'm having to take up a temp job over Christmas to pay the bills and want to devote my free time to personal projects and writing. I don't know yet whether they will open again in the new year. As ever I remain open to opportunities. I'm not ceasing to art. ❤️

Hi #PortfolioDay!
I'm an illustrator based in the UK. My freelancing has died a death this year, so if you'd like to see it revived then a little share or support would be very much appreciated. ❤️

🚫It's not AI. It never will be. It's a composite of photo manipulation and painting. I started working like this before AI. I don't use it for everything, the look just really suited what I was going for with the world setting in my book. 📖(more examples in replies)

Thank you for 3k followers everyone! ❤️
Some of you will be happy to hear that there is actually more personal work for my book in progress. It's not ready to show yet though. Until then here's some older work for it, in order too. Perhaps you can even figure out what's going on...maybe...🤔🙃

Where has my personal work disappeared to?
And what a glorious mess of 120k words it is too if I do say so myself. ✍️📖

Considering moving away from the Whitemane Design branding. It feels like a remnant of something that isn't worth holding on to anymore. Times have changed. I've changed. And it's not reflective of my goals anymore. Plus I don't think I've been asked to design anything for about 6 years now. 🤔

I think I might actually be about 3/4 done with a first draft now. So that's pretty cool I guess. ✍️📖

And so we go from a DnD poster to a pet portrait. You guys sure like to keep me on my toes.
This is Gordy. AKA, and I quote, "my little sh*tbird". Which I kinda like as title honestly. 😺

Almost 110k words and 2 years later we finally arrive at this scene. But it'll have to wait, chapter 4 is still in tatters after a recent review. ✍️📖
Also welcome new followers, thank you for 2.7k! To bring you up to speed, I'm currently trying to write a book. There is occasionally art for it. ❤️

Hello #portfolioday!
I like to think I'm still a freelance illustrator but I've not had any work in quite awhile. I'm open for opportunities and commissions if anything catches your eye. Otherwise I fill my days by writing my first novel, perusing job boards and eating copious amounts of fig rolls.

Congrats Toby!
Here's some stuff from my own IP that I'm currently writing a book for. I don't really know how to describe it other than, despite first appearances, it's a far future sci-fi adventure mystery that also deals with life, death, grief and mental health. 🐺
