Feeling quite nostalgic for this month's Vgen challenge that I even revisited this old warm up sketch and redrew it as a unicorn this time. As always, good luck to everyone!

I'm delighted to drop this new artwork, commissioned by the wonderful team at Del Rey Books to celebrate the upcoming release of AGNES AUBERT’S MYSTICAL CAT SHELTER by Heather Fawcett!

I was grateful to read an early copy from Del Rey Books to deep-dive into Heather's crafted new world, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this was my TOP read at the end of last year. This was the first time I've wanted a stand-alone to not be a stand-alone, as Agnes and Havelock and all of the shelter kitties are my new obsession.

In the book, Agnes Aubert is on the search for a new space after her cat shelter was collaterally damaged by a spontaneous magician's street duel. She ends up unwittingly leasing a new space from Havelock Renard, the First Dark Mage who infamously almost caused the apocalypse -- a worst case scenario for Agnes when magic is outlawed. Agnes is adamant on keeping her cats safe and her charity sensible, but soon her no-nonsense policies clash with Havelock's stubborn personality and his precarious dealings in magic, bringing the attention of the authorities and other unexpected magical dangers to her doorstep.

Please sit down and enjoy this cozy fantasy set in 1920's Montréal, packed with bejeweled magicians, magical pastries, and the ultimate cat distribution system!

AGNES AUBERT’S MYSTICAL CAT SHELTER is available everywhere books are sold on February 17!

Hello! Here's a more recent Tarot Commission for someone on Bluesky. The character's named Sinara ✨A gorgeous blood-elf that I absolutely loved painting.

I think the hardest part was to find a suitable pose for this kind of framing and balancing all the elements + the magical effects in order to have a good composition that doesn't feel too overcrowded. I even changed the position of the head long after I had rendered it just to see if it looks better and re-painted a lot of things.

Took me about a month to finish this but I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

Thank you for the support!

My commissions are also open for June and July, with limited slots. Check out my info HERE

I also made a quick GIF with the process:
