Contemporary Mythology: the Art of Caitlin Hackett

I'm an Oakland based artist, illustrator and creature concept designer. I grew up in the misty redwood forests of the Pacific Northwest, and studied at Pratt Institute in NYC. I create work that reflects both my passion for the natural world and my sorrow over its destruction. I am interested in mythology, folklore, and naturalism, as well as the symbolism of animals. I have art available for sale at www.caitlinhackett.com

The Believer

Sketching out Emily Axford’s character Welly Hamdam from the new Skaldova season of NADDPOD.

It’s been a while since I just sketched for fun, with tattoo work keeping me busy and the world being so heavy it’s been tough to find creative spark lately. Hope any fellow Naddpod listeners enjoy this rendition of Welly. I might try to draw Zudrick and Boggy too if I have the time/energy
