Hi, I'm Eleonor and I'm a freelance illustrator from Portugal! You can see my art in ttrpgs, card games, the one videogame, other assorted projects, and lately book covers :)
Everything I paint is 100% human-made, as are the occasional bad jokes ✌️

A digital illustration, by Eleonor Piteira, of Baba Jaga from the novella When Among Crows by Veronica Roth. A woman in darkness stares at the viewer with glowing eyes. Her hair is dark and long, and she is wearing a shawl with traditional Polish patterns, which are also featured on the background. She is holding dry thistles. There is a small golden circle behind her head. On the top of the illustration there is a silhouette of a city upside down. Poster illustration by Eleonor Piteira, for the short film Embers by Gerald McMorrow, showing a black woman with long braided hair in flowy beige robes rising above a city on a desert. She is holding a burning book, with some of its pages flying in the wind. Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira, of the book What Wakes the Bells by Elle Tesch, featuring a young white woman with light brown hair, with her back towards the viewer, face in profile, in front of a circular gothic-style window with stained glass. There are 5 figures in the stained glass design. Smoke hides the bottom half of the woman while skulls carved in the stone beneath the window peek through. Book cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira, of Evocation by S.T. Gibson, featuring a blond man in a dark suit upside down in the hanged man tarot pose, with a mysterious red hand grabbing at his chest. He is framed by a silver border.

Terracota swallow I painted to offer as a Christmas gift for my feng shui loving friend.

Used a Pentel Brush Pen and was afraid the ink would bleed but it came out pretty nicely!

"Sharing food as an act of peace and love" is a ceramic piece I painted for this year's edition of the urban exhibition Rios e Ruas de Cerâmica, organized by my hometown parish.

It's a collab with the ceramics company S.Bernardo (PPA).
