Best friends and bad puns 🍐🍎

Apple and Pear girls that were inspired by a cute dress with apple pockets I saw on Pinterest. Kinda inspired by some of the strawberry shortcake characters I drew a while ago

Morgana le Fey

A try for a children's book aesthetic for the face of this acrylic character painting. The concept had originally been made for a computer RPG but wasn't used, so I finished her for myself. Naturally I had to repaint her face… twice? because I got carried away and gave her regular proportions. The background was flooded with sepia and cyan ink. I had planned on using that on her face in the pre-raffaelite way, but went to opaque too soon for that - I will have to try again for the effect in another piece. The cloak's pattern is image transfer of patterned paper; at first I was upset it flaked off in some places (result of using it ion paper instead of a primed surface, I believe) but then I found it underlines the idea that this is not just a posh sorceress but has something other than her looks to care about. The jewellery is drawn in gold hue ink, the moon with an acrylic marker. I used Rohrer&Klingner ink, Daler+Rowney system 3 acrylics, and Molotow acrylic marker. The process also includes and underdrawing with coloured pencils but here they have become entirely covered. "Morgana le Fey", A4, acrylics and inks on Bristol carton.

Hello Tumblr!!

I am back with a project I worked on for a few weeks; a children’s book cover, which was a free project that my class was given as an assignment

It features a couple of fictional animals, for which I will be dropping the creature design soon 🐁🦇 (I do have it, it’s just in my drafts atm)

Also, just a disclaimer: this is not a real book, at least at the time of writing. The second image is a mock-up to display how the book would appear if it were to actually exist

As a footnote, I will be opening up my commissions soon, so stay tuned if you’re interested!

Thank you and have a lovely week!!
